Zusammenfassung: Gegenstand und Ziel: Erstbeschreibung einer möglicherweise leishmaniosebedingten Arthritis. Material und Methode: Fallbericht einer aus Griechenland importierten vierjährigen Mischlingshündin. Ergebnisse: Die Hündin wurde mit einer mittelgradigen Stützbeinlahmheit der rechten Vordergliedmaße vorgestellt. Radiologische, computertomographische Untersuchung sowie Arthroskopie ergaben eine mittelgradige Cubarthrose mit ausgeprägter Entknorpelung der Gelenkflächen. Serologisch wurde eine Leishmanioseinfektion diagnostiziert, wobei offensichtliche klinische Anzeichen einer viszeralen oder kutanen Leishmaniose fehlten. Mittels Real-Time-PCR ließ sich in der Synovia des betroffenen Ellbogengelenks Leishmaniainfantum-DNA nachweisen. Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz: Bei Hunden mit Auslandsvorbericht und Arthropathien unklarer Genese bietet sich der direkte Nachweis von Leishmania-infantum-DNA mittels PCR aus Synovia an.

Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania (Ross, 1903) and is the focus of considerable attention in human and veterinary medicine. In the city of Campo Grande, MS, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis is Leishmania infantum (= L. chagasi) primary vector, comprising approximately 92.9% of the local sandfly population, is Lutzomyia longipalpis. The aim of this work was to compare real-time PCR with PCR as a tool for the detection of the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) of L. infantum in sandflies. Sandflies of this species were caught, and a total of 38 samples with 1-4 individuals in each sample were obtained; these were distributed across 13 districts and divided between seven urban areas of the city of Campo Grande, MS. Three positive samples were found by PCR and, when using real-time PCR, this was able to detect the presence of this agent in 6 of the 13 districts sampled, which were all located on the outskirts of the city, where indicates the greater enzootic potential of these regions, as they are closer to natural forest reserves. We conclude that real-time PCR can be used for epidemiological studies of L. infantum.

Abstract The paper concerns the use of a novel, very effective diagnostic method, a real-time PCR for diagnosis of a viral agent causing viral haemorrhagic disease in rabbits - RHDV. Until now, the method was widely used for detecting many different viruses, both DNA, and RNA, but as far as RHDV is concerned, there are not many records of such use. This study aimed at the detection of 17 different strains from different European regions, differing in biological features and mortality. The study confirmed that real-time PCR is an applicable and effective method for diagnosis of RHDV, irrespective of the stains’ features.
