IL‐12 and IFN‐γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12

Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Serological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...

Development of a LAMP assay for detection of Leishmania infantum infection in dogs using conjunctival swab samples [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Leishmania infantum infections in dogs play a crucial role in the transmission of pathogens causing visceral leishmaniasis to humans in the Gansu province, northwest China. To be able to control zoonotic transmission of the parasite to humans,

Clinical and Clinico-Pathological Observations of the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Dogs Affected by Leishmaniosis and Monitored During Antileishmanial Treatment

Animals
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is used in canine medicine in several disorders, especially to evaluate the levels of inflammation. ESR is a valid inflammatory marker in canine leishmaniosis (CanL), being markedly increased in sick dogs.
