[Transmission of visceral leishmaniasis with studies of dogs in Greece].
According to our results the public fear in Greece of infection from dogs or the dog as a possible reservoir could not be confirmed. A total of 749 dogs were investigated. Positive findings were demonstrated successfully in 10 cases of 19 clinical cases and serologically confirmed in 10 cases. Strains were isolated in the experimental animal the hamster.
