Canine visceral leishmaniasis as a systemic fibrotic disease

International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 2013
SummaryWe propose that canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a systemic fibrotic disease, as evidenced by the wide distribution of fibrosis that we have found in the dogs suffering from chronic condition. The inflammatory cells apparently direct fibrosis formation.

Splenic Nodules: Canine Visceral leishmaniasis? [PDF]

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2021
Background: Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a parasitic disease of high lethality caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum in Brazil and is often related to splenomegaly. However, splenic nodules in dogs, although frequent, have not previously been reported as associated with CVL, but with neoplastic diseases.

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).

Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis in Sicily [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2000
The Sicilian province of Catania is an active foci for human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Mediterranean area. Approximately 10 to 15 cases of VL are diagnosed via hospital admissions each year in this community. Recently, an increase in VL case reporting by Sicilian physicians was noted, with 38 and 37 VL cases in 1996 and 1997, respectively ...

Interstitial pneumonitis in canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1986
Forty-one naturally infected dogs with visceral leishmaniasis from an urban area of Corumbá (Mato Grosso do Sul-BRAZIL) were studied and three types of lung involvement due to visceral leishmaniasis were characterized; a cellular, a cellular-fibrotic and a fibrotic type. These types seem to represent a sequential evolutive proce'as.

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.

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.

Seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis in southeast of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2013
Visceral leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in many parts of Iran and infected dogs constitute the main domestic reservoirs that play a key role in transmission to humans. The objective of this study was to assess the seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in southeast of Iran.
