Dogs that have clinical leishmaniosis (ClinL), caused by the parasite Leishmania infantum, are commonly co-infected with other pathogens, especially vector-borne pathogens (VBP). A recent PCR-based study found that ClinL dogs are more likely to be ad...

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...
