Autochthonous <i>Leishmania</i> (<i>Viannia</i>) <i>lainsoni</i> in Dog, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, 2023
In Brazil, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum causes canine visceral leishmaniasis; the primary vector is the Lutzomyia longipalpis sand fly. We describe a case of canine visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni in a dog from Barra Mansa municipality, Rio de Janeiro state. Better specificity of serologic diagnostic techniques is needed for diagnoses.
