Abstract

A preliminary survey of canine leishmaniasis was made in Israel by serodiagnosis, using a direct and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Three (4%) of the 75 dogs surveyed were seropositive. The infected dogs came from Wadi Hamam near Tiberias in northern Israel. Parasites isolated from one dog by needle aspiration were identified as Leishmania donovani sensu lato by their excreted factor.
