Summary: This study investigated the seroprevalence and risk factors of canine leishmaniosis in Portugal. The true seroprevalence was found to be 12.5%, and age over 2 years, residing in the interior regions of the country, and non-use of repellents were identified as potential risk factors. The key to controlling this disease lies in continuous implementation of prophylactic measures.

Summary: Leishmaniasis, caused by various species of the genus Leishmania, is a neglected disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, including the Mediterranean basin. In Spain, the only endemic species is L. (L) infantum, but imported cases are also diagnosed. Real-time PCR is an effective tool for diagnosis and molecular epidemiology of the disease. The study shows an increase in both autochthonous and imported cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis, with different Leishmania species being detected.
