Is Bob here?  (or anyone else)?

Happy new year 2003,   bonne année 2003!!!


Hi everybody,

I have recently diagnosed a case of leishmaniasis in a Great Dane that has 
never left the south of Germany. I am aware of at least another case in the 
same area ( Baden-Wurtenberg) and one case of autochtone equine 
leishmaniasis has recently been published ( Horse from Bavaria/Bayern).
I would like to gather the experiences of the European dermatologists ( 
outside of the endemic areas, of course) who have already diagnosed such 
autochtone cases.
I also would like to know if the presence of the potential vectors ( 
Phlebotomus perniciosus, ariasi, mascittii, others?...) has already been 
demonstrated in non endemic areas.

I will summarize the answers,
Thank you very much
Claude
