Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease that can be transmitted from dogs to humans by a sand-fly vector. Endemic cases of visceral leishmaniasis among dogs in Oklahoma, Texas, and Ohio have been reported. Recent reports of visceral leishmaniasis in Foxhounds in the eastern coastal states has raised new concerns about the importance of this disease in the United States.Keywords
