The main aim of present study was to determine the sero-prevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) among stray and owner shepherd dogs in Hamedan province, West of Iran. A cross-sectional study was performed in 2013 using enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA). Blood samples (n = 380) were collected randomly from 170 stray and 210 owner shepherd dogs in different regions of Hamedan province. All of animals were asymptomatic. Antibodies to Leishmania infantum were found 3.95 % (0.95 CI: 2-5.9 %). The sero-prevalence rate of infection in stray dogs (6.47 %) was reported higher than owner shepherd dogs (1.9 %) (P = 0.023). There was significant differences among age groups (P = 0.003); unlike to different gender (P = 0.11). This is the first report of CVL in western Iran. Further comprehensive studies in infection rate and predominant Leishmania species in humans, sand flies and animals hosts (wild canines and rodents) is recommended in this region.
本研究的主要目的是确定伊朗西部哈马丹省流浪犬和家养牧羊犬中犬内脏利什曼病（CVL）的血清流行率。2013年采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）进行了一项横断面研究。从哈马丹省不同地区的170只流浪犬和210只家养牧羊犬中随机采集血样（n = 380）。所有动物均无症状。发现婴儿利什曼原虫抗体的比例为3.95%（95%置信区间：2%-5.9%）。据报告，流浪犬的感染血清流行率（6.47%）高于家养牧羊犬（1.9%）（P = 0.023）。各年龄组之间存在显著差异（P = 0.003）；不同性别之间无显著差异（P = 0.11）。这是伊朗西部关于CVL的首次报告。建议在该地区对人类、白蛉和动物宿主（野生犬科动物和啮齿动物）的感染率及主要利什曼原虫种类进行进一步的综合研究。
