To verify the presence of cross-reaction among leishmaniosis, ehrlichiosis and babesiosis in serological diagnostics used in human visceral leishmaniasis control programs, serum samples from leishmaniasis endemic and non-endemic areas were collected and tested by Indirect Fluorescent Antibody (IFAT) and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All serum samples from endemic areas were positiv...

: Changes in legislation that facilitate movement of companion animals within the European Union will expose those animals to microbial and parasitic organisms currently exotic to Ireland. This paper reviewed information on the exotic diseases most likely to be introduced to Ireland by travelling dogs and cats: rabies, leishmaniosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis and dirofilariosis.

Data on leishmaniosis and its vectors (sand flies) in the Balearic Islands are scarce and restricted mainly to Majorca. According to the official data, the overall rate of human leishmaniosis (HL) is 0.7-3.5 cases per year/100,000 inhabitants (for the period 2001-2015), and the reported prevalence of canine leishmaniosis (CanL) varies between 0 and 45%, depending on the island and the dog popul...

Leishmaniosis es un conjunto de enfermedades zoonóticas causadas por protozoos del género Leishmania sp. Desde tiempo atrás se vienen registrando numerosas infecciones en caninos y los últimos años ocurrieron casos aislados felinos. Algunos gatos que cohabitaron áreas endémicas leishmaniosis canina contrajeron la enfermedad. Es probable el sistema inmunitario felino sea capaz controlar contamin...

Zoonotic leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a vector-borne disease endemic in southern Europe and dogs are the main reservoir for this infection. Seasonal variations antibody titers species areas where phlebotomine vectors have seasonal patterns of activity important epidemiological, preventive clinical studies related with canine leishmaniosis. It has been suggested that cats, rabbits...
