Canine Leishmaniasis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2000–2015): Taxonomic Characterisation of Etiological Agents and Geospatial Case Analysis

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 314-325, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
