To examine prevalence changes and risk factors for canine leishmaniasis, we conducted a cross-sectional seroprevalence study and a survey during April-June 2006. Seroprevalence had increased at the meso-Mediterranean bioclimatic level over 22 years. Risk was highest for dogs that were older, large, lived outside, and lived at the meso-Mediterranean level.
为了研究犬利什曼病的患病率变化及风险因素,我们在2006年4月至6月期间开展了一项横断面血清阳性率研究及一项调查。在22年的时间里,中地中海生物气候区域的血清阳性率有所上升。年龄较大、体型较大、生活在户外以及生活在中地中海区域的犬只感染风险最高。
