Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on canine leishmaniasis control. 1. Evolution of infection of different clinical forms of canine leishmaniasis following antimonial treatment
TL;DR: Treating dogs naturally infected with Leishmania infantum with meglumine antimoniate prevented the development of patent disease in 90% of non-recovered asymptomatic cases and produced only slight improvement of clinical condition in patent dogs which were still infected after drug administration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feline leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum in Italy.
Alessandro Poli,Francesca Abramo,P. Barsotti,Stefano Leva,Marina Gramiccia,Alessandra Ludovisi,Francesca Mancianti +6 more
TL;DR: Because clinical signs in feline leish maniosis are unspecific and similar to those observed in other diseases commonly found in this species, leishmaniosis must be added to the differential diagnosis by feline veterinary practitioners and adequate serologic and histopathologic investigations must be performed in endemic areas.
Journal Article
Specific serodiagnosis of canine leishmaniasis by indirect immunofluorescence, indirect hemagglutination, and counterimmunoelectrophoresis.
Francesca Mancianti,N. Meciani +1 more
TL;DR: Serotests used included the indirect immune fluorescent (IFAT) and indirect hemagglutination (IHAT) tests and counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP); using these tests, specific antibodies against Leishmania infantum were detected in all 88 dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of PCR to Distinguish Common Species of Dermatophytes
Elisabetta Faggi,Gabriella Pini,Enza Campisi,Chiara Bertellini,Elisa Margherita Difonzo,Francesca Mancianti +5 more
TL;DR: The application of PCR fingerprinting for the identification of species and varieties of common dermatophytes and related fungi utilizing as a single primer the simple repetitive oligonucleotide (GACA)4 was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal involvement in canine leishmaniasis. A light-microscopic, immunohistochemical and electron-microscopic study.
TL;DR: The study shows that the renal involvement is the natural sequela in dogs infected with L. infantum, and that the kidney lesions are characterized by immunologically mediated glomerular and tubular damage.
