Evaluating the stability of antibody titres against Leishmania infantum determined by IFAT in long-term stored canine frozen samples
The results of this study indicate that freezing at -20 °C is a good technique for prolonged storage of samples for the detection of L. infantum exposure in dogs, as the qualitative IFAT result is not significantly altered. This finding is of particular interest both for clinical endeavours and for future research in this field.
