Abstract
A number of investigations in different regions of Armenia have been conducted to study prevalence and seasonality of leishmaniasis in dogs. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical signs observed in dogs, as well as immunochromatographic examination of blood samples taken from animals suspected of being infected with leishmaniasis.
The disease was detected in dogs of all age groups.
It is recommended to implement measures to eliminate the sources of leishmaniasis infection and prevent the spread of the disease.
