Different parasites that commonly occur concomitantly can influence one another, sometimes with unpredictable effects. We evaluated pathological aspects of dogs naturally co-infected with Leishmania infantum and Ehrlichia canis. The health status of the dogs was investigated based on histopathological, hematological and biochemical analyses of 21 animals infected solely with L.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates tick-borne pathogens in dogs from Campo Grande, Brazil, that tested positive for Leishmania infantum.
- A total of 60 serum and spleen samples were analyzed, revealing high levels of IgG antibodies against various pathogens, including Ehrlichia canis and Babesia vogeli.
- Results suggest that L. infantum-seropositive dogs are frequently exposed to multiple tick-borne pathogens, highlighting the need for broader diagnostics in cases of suspected leishmaniasis.
