Abstract

Sera from fifty free-ranging red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from the Imperia province, Liguria, Italy, were examined for antibodies against Leishmania spp. by both immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), from January to May 1992. Nine of 50 animals (18%) had antibodies against Leishmania spp. utilizing both IFA and ELISA tests.
