Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 143 dogs seropositive for L. infantum, 15.4% showed amastigotes in their pancreas, with poor body condition linked specifically to pancreatic infection.
- * The study identified various pancreatic histological changes, with chronic pancreatitis being associated with L. infantum, although the overall detection rate and parasite load in the pancreas were found to be low.
