An experimental model for canine visceral leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, 1991
Summary Seven mixed‐breed dogs were challenged with either promastigotes or amastigotes of Leishmania donovani infantum strains recently isolated from naturally infected dogs. Different routes and numbers of parasites were utilized and each dog was monitored for at least 1 year post‐infection.

Diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis: Biotechnological advances

The Veterinary Journal, 2008
Human visceral leishmaniasis (HVL) is endemic in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean, Southern Europe and South and Central America, with approximately 500,000 new cases reported annually. As dogs are considered to be the major reservoirs for HVL, the accurate diagnosis of disease in these animals is important ...

Vaccination trial against canine visceral leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, 1989
Summary n a double‐blind study 393 seronegative dogs, residing in a holoende‐mic area for Leishmania donovani infantum infection, were randomly assigned to an immunization with a partly purified L.d. infantum‐derived preparation, or received adjuvant only.

Canine visceral leishmaniasis at Wadi Hamam, in Israel

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
A preliminary survey of canine leishmaniasis was made in Israel by serodiagnosis, using a direct and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Three (4%) of the 75 dogs surveyed were seropositive. The infected dogs came from Wadi Hamam near Tiberias in northern Israel.

Canine visceral leishmaniasis: a histopathological study of lymph nodes

Acta Tropica, 2004
Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a zoonosis and a chronic systemic disease of the dog caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania. In the New World, the disease is caused by the species Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi. There are only a few studies on the histopathology of lymph nodes in canine leishmaniasis.

Canine visceral leishmaniasis in villages West of Lanchow, China

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1947
Abstract Forty-four dogs naturally infected with visceral leishmaniasis were found among 1,430 examined in villages about 50 km. west of Lanchow. Epilation and seborrhoea were present in all but one of the dogs. Leishmania were found by skin biopsy in thirty-eight of the forty-four dogs and by ilium puncture in thirty-nine of forty-one dogs in which ...

Canine visceral leishmaniasis biomarkers and their employment in vaccines

Veterinary Parasitology, 2019
The natural history of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) has been well described, particularly with respect to the parasite load in different tissues and immunopathological changes according to the progression of clinical forms. The biomarkers evaluated in these studies provide support for the improvement of the tools used in developing vaccines ...

Imported canine visceral leishmaniasis in Denmark.

Nordisk veterinaermedicin, 1985
The first case of imported visceral leishmaniasis in the dog in Denmark, and probably in Scandinavia, is described. The dog, a 5-year-old female wire-haired bird dog, became ill about 21 months after it had returned from a year's stay in Spain (Malaga). The clinical signs were fever, lameness, enlargement of the popliteal lymph nodes and weight loss. A

Blood–brain barrier disruption during spontaneous canine visceral leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, 2015
SummaryVisceral leishmaniasis is a complex disease caused byLeishmania infantum, and in dogs, besides the classical symptoms, there are descriptions of inflammatory alterations in the brain. Brain inflammation is a strictly controlled process, and as the brain counts on the efficiency of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), we aimed to assess BBB integrity ...

A long term experimental study of canine visceral leishmaniasis

International Journal for Parasitology, 2007
Previous studies on Leishmania infantum and the canine immune response are derived mainly from short-term studies. To date, there have been no longitudinal studies that perform a serial analysis of the intensity of infection in conjunction with immunological parameters and clinical signs in Leishmania-infected dogs.
