An investigation of polymorphisms in innate and adaptive immune response genes in canine leishmaniosis (2019)
Journal Article
Soutter, F., Solano-Gallego, L., Attipa, C., Gradoni, L., Fiorentino, E., Foglia Manzillo, V., Oliva, G., Tasker, S., Helps, C., & Catchpole, B. (2019). An investigation of polymorphisms in innate and adaptive immune response genes in canine leishmaniosis. Veterinary Parasitology, 269, 34-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2019.04.011

The outcome of infection with Leishmania infantum in dogs is variable, which is thought to be due to the nature of the immune response mounted by the host. As a consequence, the clinical signs and severity of canine leishmaniosis vary between individ...
