Abstract
In a previous communication observations on canine visceral Leishmaniasis made in Malta from May to the end of October, 1931, were recorded. Special attention was paid to the skin which was found to be uniformly affected and its importance as a source of infection for sandflies was stressed. From May to the end of November, 1932, 188 more dogs were examined by the method previously described and 19 (i.e.,circ. 10%) were found infected. It would therefore appear that the conditions with regard to canine visceral Leishmaniasis in Malta have remained fairly uniform over a long period, for Wenyon (1914) found 6 out of 46 (i.e., 14%) and Critien (1911) 10 out of 83 (i.e., 12%) of dogs infected by examination of spleen smears.Keywords
