Examining the Relationship of Clinical and Laboratory Parameters With Infectiousness to Phlebotomus perniciosus and Its Potential Infectivity in Dogs With Overt Clinical Leishmaniasis [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Infected dogs are considered the main domestic animal reservoirs for Leishmania infantum parasite. Infectiousness to competent phlebotomine vectors has been associated with many factors, the main being the severity of the disease exhibited by infected ...

Evaluation of C3H/HeJ Mice for Xenodiagnosis of Infection with Ehrlichia Chaffeensis [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1999 Because mice are experimentally susceptible to infection with Ehrlichia species, C3H/HeJmice were evaluated as a potential xenodiagnostic model for detection of infection with and isolation of E. chaffeensis. Intraperitoneal inoculation of mice with E.

Cutaneous allergic reactions to Triatoma infestans after xenodiagnosis [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1980 We determined the frequency of cutaneous allergic reactions to bites of Triatoma infestans during xenodiagnosis in a rural community where Panstrongylus megistrus is the only domestic vector of Trypanosoma cruzi. Localized urticaria or more intense cutaneous allergic reactions at 48 and 72 hours were observed in 86.7% and 82.1% respectively of the ...
