| the transmission dynamics of canine american cutaneous leishmaniasis in huánuco, peru. | the epidemiology of canine american cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) due to leishmania (viannia) spp. was investigated in huánuco, peru to 1) describe the natural course of canine l. (viannia) infections and 2) assess the role of domestic dogs as acl reservoir hosts. over a three-year period 1,022 dogs were surveyed, with cumulative village l. (viannia) prevalence being 26% (range = 0-100%). the incidence of l. (viannia) was estimated to be 0.285 dogs/year (95% confidence interval [ci] = 0.160-0.41 ... | 2003 | 14695083 |
| domestic dog ownership: a risk factor for human infection with leishmania (viannia) species. | an epidemiological study has shown that cumulative, village prevalence of leishmania (viannia) infection in dogs ranges from 8% to 45% in huánuco, peru. using data from a prospective survey of human american cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) collected during 1994-98, it was shown that the village-level risk of human acl did not significantly increase with dog abundance, neither in absolute terms (p = 0.659) nor in relation to dog:human ratios (p = 0.213). a significant positive association was obser ... | 2003 | 14584365 |
