Dogs are considered the main domestic animals that may be a reservoir for Leishmania infantum , the agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) in several countries of the world. The dog may host other Leishmania species, but its epidemiological role in the maintenance and spreading of these...
Dogs may be infected with species of Leishmania parasites that are disseminated through blood circulation and invade the internal organs. In this study, we aim to detect the parasite in the blood of dogs using the PCR technique. The present work was performed from February 2022 to May 2023 in...

A large number of fleas parasitize dogs living with sheep in Greece. The primary aim of this randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial was to examine the efficacy of a permethrin-fipronil combination (Effitix®) for the treatment and prevention of flea infestation in dogs living with sheep...
Effect of insecticide-impregnated dog collars on incidence of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in Iranian children: a matched-cluster randomised trial. Disease Prevention and ControlDeveloping CountriesDeltamethrin-impregnated dog collars reduce sandfly bite rates on dogs, and are effective in killing sand...
Leishmaniasis is a zoonoti c disease occuring by protozoons in Leishmania genus. In Turkey, the most frequent reservoir of visceral leishmaniasis is dogs. The seroprevalence rates give relevant informati on about the disease status in that region. For this reason, aim of the present study was...
Sand flies are an intermediate host for leishmaniasis, a disease caused by a parasite that infects white blood cells and the cells of capillaries, the spleen, and other organs of humans, dogs, cats, and horses. Successful sand fly control is not usually possible with ordinary insecticide ...
Extracellular vesicles are small, round particles with a fatty outer membrane, and they are produced by all living cells, includingLeishmaniaparasites. Although tiny — you need an electron microscope to see them — these particles transport valuable cargo that ranges from DNA to...
Dogs infected with Leishmania infantum, a parasite transmitted by thesand flyPhlebotomus perniciosus (P. perniciosus), are at risk of spreading leishmaniasis infections to humans. It's estimated that over 2.5 milliondogsare infected in southern Europe, and the infection is difficult to treat....
