We examined 444 dogs by visiting farms and peripheral districts on the Gargano promontory (Province of Foggia, Apulia, South Italy). Clinical examination and immunofluorescence antibody test for leishmaniasis were performed. Bone marrow and lymph node samples obtained from 25 dogs with positive serological test were cultured on Tobie-Evans medium. The results obtained show both a higher seropositivity rate for canine leishmaniasis (14.4%) and a higher percentage of asymptomatic dogs with positive serological test (53.1%) compared to previous research in the same area. Seven strains isolated from infected dogs belonged to Leishmania infantum species zymodeme Montpellier 1. None of 82 sera of humans living in close contact with infected dogs were positive for leishmaniasis.
我们通过走访加尔加诺海角（意大利南部普利亚大区福贾省）的农场和周边地区，对444只狗进行了检查。进行了临床检查和利什曼病免疫荧光抗体检测。从25只血清学检测呈阳性的狗身上采集骨髓和淋巴结样本，在托比 - 埃文斯培养基上进行培养。与该地区之前的研究相比，所得结果显示犬利什曼病的血清阳性率更高（14.4%），血清学检测呈阳性的无症状狗的比例也更高（53.1%）。从感染狗身上分离出的7个菌株属于婴儿利什曼原虫蒙彼利埃1型酶谱。与感染狗密切接触的82名人类的血清中，没有一份利什曼病检测呈阳性。
