Diagnostic potential of a multi-antigen ELISA for feline leishmaniosis
Integrating multi-antigen ELISA, particularly rK39, SPLA, and LicTXNPx, into FeL diagnostic workflows, alongside molecular and clinical assessment, improves epidemiological surveillance, early detection, and disease management. These findings support the development of serological strategies tailored to feline hosts for enhanced surveillance and management.
