Are stray dogs confined in animal shelters at increased risk of seropositivity to Leishmania infantum? A case control study
(2018)The aim of this study was to compare the risk of seropositivity between stray dogs and privately-owned dogs living in the same endemic area. Sixty-seven stray (group A) and 115 privately-owned (group B) dogs were enrolled. ... -
A comparison of cytologic quality in fine-needle specimens obtained with and without aspiration from superficial lymph nodes in the dog
(2022)Objectives: To assess the impact of aspiration on cytologic quality of fine-needle specimens obtained from lymph nodes of dogs and to compare the level of agreement of the cytologic diagnosis between the two sampling ... -
Comparison of two commercial rapid in-clinic serological tests for detection of antibodies against Leishmania spp. in dogs
(2014)Antibodies against Leishmania spp. are detected in most dogs with clinical signs of leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum. Accurate, rapid in-clinic serological tests may permit immediate confirmation of the diagnosis ... -
Cytological and molecular detection of Leishmania infantum in different tissues of clinically normal and sick cats
(2014)Natural infection of domestic cats by Leishmania infantum (synonym: L chagasi) has been demonstrated in several European, Latin American, and Asian countries, and the estimated prevalence of infection, based mainly on blood ... -
Effects of allopurinol treatment on the progression of chronic nephritis in canine leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum)
(2006)Forty dogs with canine leishmaniosis (CL) participated in this study, which was designed to investigate the effect of allopurinol on the progression of the renal lesions associated with this disease. The animals were ... -
European Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) as a source of emerging and re-emerging pathogens of Public Health importance: A review
(2020)European brown hare (Lepus europaeus, EBH) is probably the most important game animal in Europe throughout its historical distribution. The decline in its populations across its geographic range in Europe have been attributed ... -
Evaluation of indirect immunofluorescence antibody test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the diagnosis of infection by Leishmania infantum in clinically normal and sick cats
(2014)Cats that live in areas where canine and human leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is endemic may become infected and may develop anti-Leishmania antibodies: In this study 50 clinically normal and 50 cats with cutaneous ... -
Evaluation of lymph node and bone marrow cytology in the diagnosis of canine leishmaniasis (Leishmania infantum) in symptomatic and asymptomatic dogs
(2005)The sensitivity and specificity of lymph node and bone marrow smear microscopy for the diagnosis of Leishmania infantum-infected dogs was evaluated in 79 dogs with leishmaniasis (Group A), 52 asymptomatically infected dogs ... -
Evaluation of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of aminosidine (paromomycin)-allopurinol combination in dogs with leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum: A randomized, blinded, controlled study
(2019)Canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a widespread zoonotic disease. Although aminosidine can be an effective treatment, current therapeutic recommendations do not advocate its use, mainly due to concerns ... -
Evaluation of serum symmetric dimethylarginine as a biomarker of kidney disease in canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum
(2020)Canine leishmaniosis (CanL)-associated chronic kidney disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Mediterranean countries. Novel renal biomarkers, such as serum symmetric dimethylarginine (sSDMA), may be useful ... -
Evaluation of the cutaneous inflammatory cells in dogs with leishmaniosis and in dogs without the disease that were naturally infected by Leishmania infantum (syn. L. chagasi)
(2021)Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is associated with an aberrant cutaneous immune response. Few studies have compared cutaneous immune cells among dogs with leishmaniosis or infected without leishmaniosis, and ... -
Hemorrhagic pneumonia in neonatal minks in Greece concomitant with Leismania infantum detection
(2018)In the present study a severe outbreak of hemorrhagic pneumonia (HP) in neonatal minks concomitant with Leismania infantum (L. infantum) detection is reported. The outbreak took place on a Greek mink farm and affected 1,362 ... -
Host species determines the composition of the prokaryotic microbiota in phlebotomus sandflies
(2020)Phlebotomine sandflies are vectors of the humans’ and mammals’ parasite Leishmania spp. Although the role of gut microbiome in the biological cycle of insects is acknowledged, we still know little about the factors modulating ... -
Molecular identification of Bartonella species in dogs with leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum) with or without cytological evidence of arthritis
(2014)Recent evidence suggest that Bartonella species may cause polyarthritis and lameness in dogs. Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum is a multi-systemic disease often occurring in association with arthritis. ... -
Molecular investigation and geographical distribution of Leishmania spp infection in stray and owned cats (Felis catus) in Thessaly, central Greece
(2017)In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of Leishmania spp infection and to report the geographical distribution of Leishmania spp infected cats from Thessaly, central Greece, an endemic region for canine and ... -
Periodic administration of allopurinol is not effective for the prevention of canine leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum) in the endemic areas
(2005)A total of 95 clinically healthy and seronegative for Leishmania infantum dogs, residing an area highly endemic for canine leishmaniosis (CL) and living an outdoor life-style, were split into positive and negative groups, ... -
Phlebotomine sandflies and factors associated with their abundance in the leishmaniasis endemic area of Attiki, Greece
(2018)Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease of animals and humans caused by several Leishmania species and transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. The aim of the present study was to identify the species of field collected ... -
Prevalence of antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor titers in dogs with arthritis secondary to leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum)
