| Sumario: | Leishmania infantum is the causal agent of cutaneous and visceral
canine leishmaniasis, a disease widely described in Europe and Latin
America. This study describes a case of a canine Canary mastiff breed,
born in Mexico that was referred to consult by an alopecic lesion and
generalized lymph adenomegaly. Diagnosis of leishmaniasis was established by impression smears of the lesion that
showed amastigotes within macrophages. Due to
the poor body condition of the animal, euthanasia
and necropsy were conducted and samples taken
from skin, lymph nodes, liver, kidney, and spleen
to perform histological and molecular analysis. In
skin, spleen and kidney granulomatous lesions were
observed showing amastigotes of Leishmania. The
diagnosis of L. infantum was confirmed by using
molecular tools. The report of this case suggests
the potential risk of this disease in a non-endemic
region from Mexico. |
