The histopathological picture of concomitant infection with Leishmania major and Toxoplasma gondii in albino mice.
Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. major and toxoplasmosis caused by T. gondii are prevalent among man and animals in several localities in Egypt particularly in the Nile Delta and Sinai. Double infection may take place. In this paper, it was intended to study the concomitant infection in albino mice. The results showed that the clinical and histopathological pictures differ in concomitant infection from that shown by infection with either parasite alone. Therefore leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis must be diagnosed parasitologically.
