Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization reports an increase in leishmaniosis cases, with Europe at high risk for re-emergence, largely due to cats being recognized as significant reservoirs for Leishmania species.
- Feline leishmaniosis (FeL) can be difficult to diagnose because its clinical signs are non-specific and overlap with other cat diseases, leading to underreported cases.
- The study aims to inform veterinarians about the current status, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of FeL caused by Leishmania infantum globally.
