Dogs are the species most susceptible to the disease and serve as a reservoir for transmission to humans, making the Iberian Peninsula an endemic region for this infection. Although the regions close to the Mediterranean coast are the most prevalent regions of leishmaniasis in Spain, climatic factors are favouring the expansion of the vectors to more northern latitudes, where the disease was hardly known decades ago. This paper presents a prevalence study of L. infantum infection in the province of Zamora (northwestern Spain) using a non-invasive sample from canine buccal swabs and an innovative qPCR method to determine the etiologic agent. The parasite load of 151 randomly selected dogs from different points of the province was analysed during the period 2021–2022, with an estimated prevalence of 30%. In addition, the most common clinical signs of leishmaniasis in the dogs are described, and intrinsic factors associated with the nature of the dogs—such as sex, size, age as well as other factors related to the habitat in which they live and their geographical location—which could favour the disease, are evaluated.EVG is hired under the Generation D initiative, promoted by Red.es, an organisation attached to the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, for the attraction and retention of talent through grants and training contracts, financed by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan through the European Union’s Next Generation funds (MMT24-IGM-02).Peer reviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteMinisterio para la Transformación Digital y de la Función Pública (España)European CommissionValderas García, Elora [0000-0002-9970-896X]Castilla Gómez de Agüero, Verónica [0000-0002-6797-0170]Martínez Valladares, María [0000-0002-3723-1895]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/394287reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
