Article Synopsis
- A case of co-infection by Leishmania and Trypanosoma was discovered in a dog in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
- The dog's bone marrow showed both amastigote (Leishmania) and trypomastigote (Trypanosoma) forms, but no parasites were found in culture.
- DNA analysis confirmed the presence of Leishmania (L.) chagasi and Trypanosoma (T.) evansi, marking this as the first reported case of such co-infection in dogs.
A case of leishmaniasis in a domestic cat (Felis domesticus) is described. The animal showed a single, nodular lesion on the nose and many nodules of different size on the ears and digital regions of all the paws. Diagnosis was made by microscopic detection of amastigotes in Giemsa-stained smears from the lesions.
