Seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis in asymptomatic dogs in Iran
Clinically infected dogs have been identified as the main reservoir hosts of visceral leishmaniasis (VL)caused by Leishmania infantum. Recently asymptomatic infected dogs were regarded to be as important asclinically ill dogs. This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of L. infantum infection amongasymptomatic dogs in the southwest and central parts of Iran and to investigate possibl...
متن کاملA Molecular and Serological Study on Visceral Leishmaniasis in Asymptomatic Stray Dogs in Mashhad, Iran
Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania infantum (L. infantum),and its major reservoir hosts are domestic dogs, most of which are asymptomatic. This study aimed to detect L. infantum spp. in asymptomatic stray dogs by molecular and serological methods in Mashhad, Iran, during 2011-12.

متن کاملCanine visceral leishmaniasis: seroprevalence survey of asymptomatic dogs in an endemic area of northwestern Iran.
Canine visceral leishmaniasis is a major public health problem that is endemic in tropical and sub tropical countries and is fatal in humans and dogs. In addition to symptomatic dogs, asymptomatic ones seem as source of Leishmania infantum infection. Thus surveillance and control programs of reservoir hosts are essential. This study aimed to evaluate the sero-prevalence of visceral leishmaniasi...
متن کاملMolecular and Seroepidemiological Survey of Visceral Leishmaniasis among Humans and Domestic Dogs in Mazandaran Province, North of Iran
BACKGROUND New cases of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) have been reported recently in some parts of Mazandaran Province, north of Iran where the first human case of VL was reported in 1949. This study aimed to determine the present status of Leishmaniainfantum infection among humans and domestic dogs using serological and molecular methods in central parts of Mazandaran Province. METHODS In this...
