| 英文描述 | Leishmaniasis is caused by the protozoan parasite LEISHMANIA, a member of the Trypanosome family that is normally transmitted by sandflies of the subfamily Phlebotominae. The incubation period usually is 3-6 months but can range from 3 weeks to over 2 years. There are chronic systemic reticuloendothelial proliferation and multisystemic signs; diarrhea due to colitis without other systemic signs has also been described. Nonregenerative anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobulinemia, azotemia, and proteinuria might occur. Most common in the Mediterranean, Middle East and Central America, but does affect dogs in the U.S. This is a zoonotic disease. |
