Article Synopsis
- - The report discusses a case of fatal canine visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in a 2-year-old pug from Brazil, which was imported to French Guiana, a region not typically associated with this disease.
- - The dog initially showed a skin issue that healed, but later developed serious symptoms, leading to suspicion of VL, which was confirmed posthumously by testing for L. infantum.
- - This case highlights the rarity of canine VL in French Guiana and suggests a need for increased local surveillance to monitor potential transmission routes of the parasite.

He was systemically well with no other symptoms.
