Abstract
The clinical signs and pathological findings in a dog imported from Sp ain with concurrent leishmaniasis and filariasis are described. Epidem iological data and the morphology of microfilariae in histological sec tions are suggestive for an infection with D. repens. The pattern and pathogenesis of the lesions and the importance of a zoonotic risk in b oth parasitic infections are discussed.
