Associations between clinical canine leishmaniosis and multiple vector-borne co-infections: a case-control serological study

Abstract Background Dogs that have clinical leishmaniosis (ClinL), caused by the parasite Leishmania infantum, are commonly co-infected with other pathogens, especially vector-borne pathogens (VBP).A recent PCR-based study found that ClinL dogs are more likely to be additionally infected neflintw-r6mpw with the rickettsial bacteria Ehrlichia canis.
