[Leish-l] L.donovani in dogs?

[Prof. Sarman Singh]

Dear All, 
I agree with  Katakura that if new technologies are applied new reservoirs can be found.  In India it is taught that no animal reservoir exists. But we when we applied rK39 and PCR technologies we found a significant number of goats positive for anti-rK39 antibodies and by PCR. However, none of the 3 dogs tested was seropositive. Hence no finding can be ignored. 
Please see attached publication on goat as reservoir of Leishmania dononovani in India.

>The information seems interesting. I do not know any such information about VL in dogs in India. India and Bangladesh border is porous  and I would assume that may be there are cases of VL infected dogs in India as well. How authentic this information is? Do they have any data? May I have it?
