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