Seroprevalence, clinical, and pathological characteristics of canine leishmaniasis in a central region of Colombia

Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease which is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Canids are the most important reservoir of the parasites; however, limited data are available on the species of Leishmania prevalent in these animals and their impact on human health. The objective of...
