Abstract: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease caused by the protozoa Leishmania infantum and can cause an inflammatory reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, however the role of granulocytic cells (neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells) in the intestine of dogs infected is not fully understood. We performed a quantitative analysis these cells in the intestinal wall of dogs with canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL). Twenty dogs were assigned to one of three groups: group 1 (G1, n=8), dogs with CVL and L. infantum… Show more

“…present in the bloodstream. After a new blood feeding in a healthy animal, the promastigote form is differentiated into amastigote and may also rupture the macrophage, again being phagocyted and spreading through tissues such as the spleen, liver, lymph nodes, and bone marrow (Ribeiro et al, 2018;Silva et al, 2018).…”

“…The effect of Leishmania infection in the gastrointestinal tract is the topic of studies that evaluated different segments of the intestine of dogs (Figueiredo et al, 2014;Silva et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2018) and rodents (Souza et al, 2019;Lewis et al, 2020;Passos et al, 2020) with visceral leishmaniasis (VL). In human VL, the presence of amastigote forms in intestinal tissues may be related to episodes of diarrhea (Baba et al, 2006;Soria Loṕez et al, 2016;Raina et al, 2017) or not (Chattopadhyay et al, 2020).…”
