Canine leishmaniasis (CanL) is a widespread disease present in 42 countries. It is considered of epidemiological importance because of its role as a reservoir of human leishmaniasis. Knowledge of the real distribution of CanL and its emergence and/or re-emergence is of great importance in order to determine the extension of the disease. This work reports the detection of CanL in a farm dog located in a Pyrenean area of northwest Catalonia (Spain) where the disease was previously unknown. Since the dog had never left the region and sandfly vectors, Phlebotomus ariasi and P. perniciosus, were present in the farm the case is considered as autochthonous and is the first to be published in this region of Spain.
犬利什曼病（CanL）是一种广泛存在于 42 个国家的疾病。由于它是人类利什曼病的储主，因此被认为具有流行病学重要性。了解 CanL 的真实分布以及其出现和/或再现对于确定疾病的范围非常重要。这项工作报告了在位于西班牙西北部加泰罗尼亚（Pyrenean）地区的一个农场犬中检测到 CanL 的情况，此前该地区未知该病。由于该犬从未离开过该地区，并且在农场中存在沙蝇媒介，即 Phlebotomus ariasi 和 P. perniciosus，因此该病例被认为是本地的，并且是在西班牙该地区首次发表的病例。
