Canine leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania infantum (syn. L. chagasi, in America) and is transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies. Infected dogs constitute the main domestic reservoir of the parasite and play a key role in transmission to humans, in which the parasite produces ...
and can be lethal. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of female sand flies that feed on infected mammals, particularly dogs. In Brazil, where disease prevalence is high (more than 3000 cases per year), the culling of infected dogs has proven inefficient in controlling parasite trans...

The disease is categorized as anthroponosis (humans are the parasitic reservoir) and zoonosis (animals are the parasitic reservoir) [1]. The transmission of leishmaniasis occurs through the bite of female phlebotomine sandflies. In this sense, parasites have two cell forms: Promastigote is an ...
1.Studies from Brazil reveal that wildlife and livestock in proximity to dogs are particularly at risk of leishmaniasis, which infects roughly 1.6 million people a year. 2.CONCLUSION: Leishmania infantum is the pathogen of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Karamay, Xinjiang, and P. major wui, the vec...
Currently, in North America, dogs with leishmaniasis pose a low risk of transmission to humans, although it is conceivable in rare cases blood-borne transmission could occur, Clow says. For that reason, she advises veterinarians dealing with leishmaniasis-infected dogs should practice strong infecti...
a mild infection of dogs, usually confined to the muzzle or ears, produced by human disease-causing species of Leishmania; dogs therefore are important reservoirs of human infection, such as with visceral leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean region.

infantum infection in dogs (Solano-Gallego et al., 2011). PHY According to the WHO, the ecological system that indefinitely maintains a species of Leishmania is usually comprised of a phlebotomine vector species and a vertebrate host species. Though rare, other transmission routes between humans ...
A 24 year-old female patient, born in Italy and a resident of the Sanremo area (Liguria, North-Western Italy), HIV-infected via maternal-fœtal transmission, was admitted to hospital in 2012 for weight loss and AKI. At the time of admission, her cART regimen consisted in etravine, ral...
Leishmaniasis is mainly a canine zoonosis. The parasites are exposed on the skin of dogs, foxes, and wild dogs, and are often transmitted to humans via a transmission cycle involving insects called sandflies. Other routes of administration are possible (such as placental, blood wounds and fights...
