Abstract

Background: A two year seroepidemiological study was designed to find out the seroprevalence and risk factors of canine VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS (CVL) among stray and owned DOGs in Tehran and Alborz Provinces of IRAN.Methods: Blood samples of 602 DOGs living in 11 counties of Tehran and Alborz Provinces were taken by venipuncture in 2008–2010. After separation of blood sera, anti-leishmanial antibodies were detected by DIRECT AGGLUTINATION TEST (DAT).Results: Overall, of the 408 and 194 serum samples collected randomly from DOGs in 11 localities in Tehran and Alborz Provinces, 18.408 (4.41%) and 12/194 (6.18%) respectively were found positive. Among the localities, Shemiran in Tehran Province and Karaj In Alborz Province had the highest prevalence rates. No statistically significant differences were found between sex and living place but there was significant difference between living status (owned or stray) and CVL infection of DOGs in Alborz Province (P=0.018). The highest seroprevalence (7.5%) was found in DOGs aged 3 to 5 years old. Only 20% of the seropositive DOGs were symptomatic.Conclusion: Concerning possible human infections in Tehran and Alborz Provinces, both symptomatic and asymptomatic seropositive DOGs should be considered as a risk.
