First autochthonous case of canine visceral leishmaniasis in Rondônia, Brazil, a region with no history of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2018
This report describes the first autochthonous case of canine visceral leishmaniasis in Rondônia, northern Brazil. A canine resident of the municipality of Cacoal, with clinical signs and symptoms of visceral leishmaniasis, was treated by a veterinarian. Samples were analyzed by a reference laboratory.

Tissue Cytokine Responses in Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
To elucidate the local tissue cytokine response of dogs infected with Leishmania chagasi, cytokine mRNA levels were measured in bone marrow aspirates from 27 naturally infected dogs from Brazil and were compared with those from 5 uninfected control animals.

Immunohaematological and rheological parameters in canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2018
Abstract The aim of this study was to find correlations between haematological and rheological parameters in canine visceral leishmaniasis (CLV). Enrolled dogs with CVL (n=31) had a confirmed diagnosis using the rapid test Dual Path Platform (TR DPP®) kit and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay.

Antiactin and antitubulin antibodies in canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1983
Visceral leishmaniasis, a chronic and often fatal disease, is caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. Both specific and nonspecific antibodies are produced in the course of the disease, and autoantibodies may be involved in pathogenesis. Tubulin and actin have been found to be associated with L. donovani.

Canine visceral leishmaniasis in the Northeast Region of Brazil

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2016
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonosis that affects dogs and other mammals, including humans. Contact with dogs is a major risk factor for humans. This disease is endemic in several regions of Brazil. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Leishmania spp.

Systemic and compartmentalized immune response in canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2009
Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) are the most important emerging diseases with high prevalence in Latin American countries and are mainly caused by Leishmania (L.) chagasi (Syn=L. infantum). CVL has a great impact on Brazilian public health because domestic dogs are the most important VL peri-domicile reservoirs

Splenic immune responses during canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2007
Dogs are the main reservoir host for zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum. In this study we investigated the immune response in spleens of L. infantum-infected dogs by measuring the mRNA expression levels for a wide panel of cytokines, transcription factors and chemokines.

Multicomponent Chimeric Antigen for Serodiagnosis of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT In this work, we describe the assembly of a synthetic gene coding for several antigenic determinants found in different Leishmania infantum antigens. Selected epitopes were derived from the ribosomal proteins LiP2a, LiP2b, and LiP0 and from the histone H2A. The resulting gene was overexpressed in

Detection of canine visceral leishmaniasis by conjunctival swab PCR [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2016
Conjunctival swab PCR was evaluated as a tool to diagnose visceral leishmaniasis in dogs.Conjunctival swab PCR was compared to indirect immunofluorescence antibody test and blood PCR.Indirect immunofluorescence was significantly correlated with conjunctival swab PCR (p < 0.05), but not with blood PCR (p > 0.05).
