Diagnostic challenges in the era of canine Leishmania infantum vaccines
Solano Gallego L, Cardoso L, Pennisi MG, Petersen Ch, Bourdeau P, Oliva G, Miró G, Ferrer Ll, Baneth G
(Trends in Pararasitology 33(9): 706-717. 2017)
The diagnosis of canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is complex due to its variable clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. The availability of vaccines to prevent CanL has increased the complexity of diagnosis, as serological tests may not distinguish between naturally infected and vaccinated dogs.

Canine leishmaniosis – new concepts and insights on an expanding zoonosis: part one
Baneth G, Koutinas AF, Solano-Gallego L, Bourdeau P, Ferrer L
(Trends Parasitol. 2008, 24(7):324-30)
Recent research has generated new insights on epidemiology, pathology and immunology of canine leishmaniosis (CanL) and its genetic background. We now know that the prevalence of infection in endemic areas is considerably higher than that of apparent clinical illness. In addition, infection quickly spreads…

Canine leishmaniosis – new concepts and insights on an expanding zoonosis: part two
Miró G, Cardoso L, Pennisi MG, Oliva G, Baneth G
(Trends Parasitol. 2008, 24(8):371-7)
Canine leishmaniosis is a widely spread zoonosis that is potentially fatal to humans and dogs. Infection with Leishmania infantum is much more prevalent than clinical disease, and infected dogs with no signs of disease are able to potentially transmit the infection…
