Article Synopsis
- A 3.5-year-old mixed-breed dog was diagnosed with invasive candidiasis, leading to systemic Candida infection and multi-organ colonization, following a limb injury.
- Despite antibiotic treatment, the dog died three days later, with necropsy revealing extensive pyogranulomas in the liver, stomach ulcers, and lung consolidation associated with Candida albicans.
- The case highlights a rare occurrence of invasive candidiasis in dogs, noting that neutropenia from sepsis and antibiotic use could have facilitated the yeast's invasion and spread to various organs.
Feline leishmanial infection is reported worldwide, but the epidemiological role of domestic cats in the leishmaniasis cycle remains unclear, and cats might act as cryptic reservoir hosts in endemic areas with no feline leishmaniosis cases. Considering that, a serological screening for anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies was performed by indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) in 389 necropsied cats' serum samples from a new visceral leishmaniasis transmission area with no feline leishmanial infection reported to unveil if the cats are being exposed to the parasite.

Considering that infected dogs are the main reservoirs of VL in urban areas, the present study aimed to evaluate the propagation of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) infection from an unaffected region in transition to a VL transmission area. For this, 1159 and 1087 samples of canine serum from 2015 and 2021, respectively, were analyzed, using the indirect immunofluorescence test.
