  • Title: Equine infection with Leishmania in Portugal.
    Author: Rolão N, Martins MJ, João A, Campino L.
    Journal: Parasite; 2005 Jun; 12(2):183-6. PubMed ID: 15991833.
    Abstract:
    The present report describes the first case of equine leishmaniasis in Portugal. Leishmania infection was detected in one animal, which presented an ulcerated skin lesion. Diagnosis was based on serology by CIE, and parasite DNA detection by real-time PCR using a probe specific for L. infantum. This finding requests further leishmaniasis equine surveys in order to clarify the role of the horse as reservoir host in european endemic areas.
