A total of 239 rodents were collected from El-Khanka, Shebin El-Kanater, El-Kanater, Shoubra El Khima, Qualiob, Tokh, Benha and Kafr-Shokr and identified as Mus musculus (30), Rattus rattus (78), Rattus norvegicus (35), Arvicanthus niloticus (62) and Acomys cahirinus (34). Examination of these rodents showed the presence of cutaneous lesions in two R. rattus, three R. norvegicus and one A. cahirinus which showed no Leishmania parasites neither by smear nor by culture. On examination of the liver, spleen and bone marrow parasitologically, the spleen of two R. norvegicus grew promastigotes, one was lost and the other was typed. Serological examination of rodents revealed antileishmanial antibodies in one A. niloticus and in two R. norvegicus by IHAT and in one R. rattus by Dot-ELISA. A total of 33 stray dogs trapped from El-Khanka Shebin El-Kanater and Qualiob were free from natural Leishmania infection as indicated clinically, parasitologically and serologically.
总共从埃尔坎卡、谢宾坎泰勒、坎泰勒、舒布拉希马、夸利卜、托赫、本哈和卡夫尔舒克尔收集了239只啮齿动物，鉴定为小家鼠（30只）、黑家鼠（78只）、褐家鼠（35只）、尼罗多乳鼠（62只）和埃及刺毛鼠（34只）。对这些啮齿动物的检查显示，两只黑家鼠、三只褐家鼠和一只埃及刺毛鼠有皮肤损伤，涂片和培养均未发现利什曼原虫寄生虫。对肝脏、脾脏和骨髓进行寄生虫学检查时，两只褐家鼠的脾脏培养出前鞭毛体，一只丢失，另一只进行了分型。对啮齿动物的血清学检查显示，一只尼罗多乳鼠和两只褐家鼠通过间接血凝试验（IHAT）检测到抗利什曼原虫抗体，一只黑家鼠通过斑点酶联免疫吸附测定（Dot-ELISA）检测到抗利什曼原虫抗体。从埃尔坎卡、谢宾坎泰勒和夸利卜捕获的33只流浪狗，经临床、寄生虫学和血清学检查，均未感染自然利什曼原虫。
