Title: Leishmania infantum-specific IFN-? production in stimulated blood from cats living in areas where canine leishmaniosis is endemic Document date: 2019_3_26
ID: 04ljoezz_38
Snippet: The parasite load of cats was measured by blood PCR, thus some positive cats were possibly missed because blood is not the most sensitive tissue for the detection of L. infantum DNA in dogs and likewise with cats [7, 34] . However, all PCR-positive cats were also antibody-positive and the level of L. infantum DNA in blood was positively correlated with the antibody level of cats. This is not a common finding in cats from L. infantum endemic areas.....
Document: The parasite load of cats was measured by blood PCR, thus some positive cats were possibly missed because blood is not the most sensitive tissue for the detection of L. infantum DNA in dogs and likewise with cats [7, 34] . However, all PCR-positive cats were also antibody-positive and the level of L. infantum DNA in blood was positively correlated with the antibody level of cats. This is not a common finding in cats from L. infantum endemic areas but, compared to other studies, we used two serological techniques and therefore the sensitivity of serology was increased [19, 20, 35] .
