title: [Atypical course of Leishmania donovani infections in dogs. Histopathological findings (author's transl)].
abstract: Four beagles infected with an Indian strain of Leishmania donovani showed histiocytic granulomas with very few leishmania in liver and skin biopsies. 3 animals died with formation of tumor-like histiocytic infiltrates in several organs (heart, ling, liver, kidney, pancreas, muscle) and with development of anyloidosis; one survived with minimal residual lesions.
