“…The dogs have all the characteristics of a good reservoir: they are present in the domestic and peridomestic environment (6), working as a powerful source for the vector, and they develop high parasitic skin, allowing a high rate of infection (7). These characteristics are important to maintain the domestic cycle vector‐dog‐vector‐human (6), making diagnosis of L. chagasi infected dogs essential for VL surveillance programs. For the diagnosis of canine VL, the dog epidemiological origin and symptoms should be considered.…”
