Abstract

In order to assess canine leishmaniasis prevalence rate in Enfidha area, considered to be the most important kala-azar focus in Sousse Governorate, a serological survey was carried out in 6 localities. 265 sera were examined by DAT and IFAT. 16 (6.03%) showed positive results for anti-leishmania antibodies with significant variations according to the locality. A fairly DAT-IFAT good correlation was observed.
