Article Synopsis
- * Current Brazilian diagnostic methods are inadequate, leading to poor disease control, which has prompted the evaluation of a new antigen, rLiNTPDase2, for improved detection.
- * The study found that a Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFIA) using rLiNTPDase2 achieved a sensitivity of 86.9%, specificity of 62.5%, and accuracy of 76.9%, making it a promising tool for point-of-care testing in detecting CV

Visceral Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania infantum, is a tropical neglected disease and the most dangerous form of Leishmaniasis. It occurs zoonotically, with domestic transmission posing risks to humans as dogs have high susceptibility and are natural reservoirs of the parasite. Given their epidemiological role, improvements are needed in diagnosing Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL).
