Abstract

Visceral leishmaniosis presumably due to Leishmonia donovani was found in a fennce fox (Fennecus Zerda) from northern Africa. The parasite was identified by light and electron-microscopic studies of fixed tissues after the host had died of the disease. The tissue reaction was characterized by proliferation of reticuloendothelial cells. This is apparently the first report of Leishmania in the fennec fox.
