abstract = "The aim of this survey was to determine prevalence of antibodies against Leishmania in dogs from Sucre, Colombia. We analyzed 122 dogs in rural areas from municipalities of Sampués, Ovejas and Sincelejo, by indirect immunofluorescence (IFA). Anti-Leishmania antibodies were detected in 69.6 % (95 % CI = 61.1 to 78.2) of the selected canine population. In the municipality of Sincelejo, Sampues and Ovejas, the seropositivities were 72 % (95 % CI = 61.1 to 82.8), 68.4 % (95 % CI = 52.3 to 84.5) and 55.5 % (95 % CI = 21.2 to 86.3) respectively. Seropositive animals were mainly young and adult dogs. The 17.6 % of seropositive dogs showed clinical signs compatible with canine leishmaniasis; onychogryphosis, alopecia and cachexia were the most common ones. The detected high frequency of canines with antibodies against Leishmania in the present study, highlights the hyperendemicity status of canine leishmaniasis in this area of the country and the high risk of disease outbreaks.",
