Leishmania is vectored by nocturnal sandflies of the genus Phlebotomus spp., which are found in the Mediterranean area, Africa, Middle East, India and China. The absence of this specific insect vector in the United Kingdom makes the transmission between dogs, and from dog to man, impossibile...

Notably, glomerulonephritis (GN) lesions, with IgG and IgM deposits were observed in 34 dogs naturally infected with L. infantum39. A case of canine VL with GN and interstitial nephritis associated with the presence of L. donovani in renal tissue has been reported. Interestingly, the ...
The aim of this study was to detect antibodies against Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in dogs seropositive and seronegative for leishmaniasis. Sera from 836 dogs (449 positive and 387 negative to leishmaniasis) were analysed by ELISA and the immunodiffusion test using gp43 and exoantigen, respective...

chemically defined products such as recombinant proteins that can elicit protective immune responses. Developing these subunit vaccines usually requires a suitable experimental model to systematically test candidates. While the disease progression of leishmania infections in dogs and hamsters is considered to ...
For VL, the most suitable models are: (i) BALB/c mice and Syrian golden hamsters (primary tests); (ii) dogs (secondary tests) and (iii) monkeys viz., squirrel, Vervet and Indian languor monkeys as tertiary tests. Hamsters are recognized as a relevant model for VL caused by L. donovan...
