<< 
 Speculatively it might be possible for a dog with an open wound coming in
 contact with another dog with an open cutaneous lesion from _Leishmania_
 spp.  to contract the disease this way. So it might be conceivable that a
 dog from one of the Mediterranean countries visiting the dog show could
 carry a minor risk to other dogs. But this risk seems very minimal as most
 dogs with any type of wound, illness or any other type of blemish are
 usually excluded from the show. >>
