[Leish-l] L.donovani in dogs?

[Antoniou Maria]

In Cyprus, where L. infantum is endemic ONLY in the dog population and 
where L. donovani MON-37 has emerged recently, causing cutaneous and 
visceral leishmaniasis in the human population, out of 20 canine 
isolates studied one was found co-infected with both: L. infantum and L. 
donovani.

Pratlong, Jean-Pierre Dedet, Ketty Soteriadou. Leishmania donovani 
causing visceral or cutaneous leishmaniasis in Europe: Cyprus evidence 
is an alarm call. Lancet Infect Dis. 2008 Jan;8(1):6-7.)
