Abstract

Canine visceral leishmaniasis is a tropical climate disease, commonly found in countries of the Americas. In Brazil, its incidence has been increasing due to the animal migrations within from the country itself, which have been rising the rate of animals infected by the protozoan Leishmania chagasi. This report describes a female dog, 2.5 years old, from São Paulo state, which made a trip to Maranhão state and whose tutors came to establish housing in Indaial, SC. Soon after settling in this city, the animal began to show characteristic symptoms of canine visceral leishmaniasis. Biochemical tests and serological diagnoses were requested to confirm the suspected and performed treatment.
