Histological and parasitological distinctive findings in clinically-lesioned and normal-looking skin of dogs with different clinical stages of leishmaniosis.

Although marginally statistically significant, there was a trend for a higher parasite load in clinically-lesioned skin from dogs from group B compared with group A (Mann-Whitney U -test: Z = -1,943, P = 0.052; Fig. 5 ; Table 2 ). qPCR The normal-looking skin of 18/25 (72%) dogs studied was qPCR positive for Leishmania (Table 1 ).
