We report here the first case of co-infection with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi in a naturally infected dog from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Isoenzyme characterisation identified the parasites isolated in culture from the cutaneous lesion as L. (V.) braziliensis and the isolates from blood and lymph node as L. (L.) chagasi. PCR analysis using specific primers followed by molecular hybridisation for direct Leishmania species identification in tissue fragments confirmed the presence of L. (V.) braziliensis DNA in the cutaneous lesion and of L. (L.) chagasi DNA in spleen and popliteal lymph node fragments. This report emphasises the importance of identification of Leishmania species infecting seropositive dogs in endemic areas, and the consequent re-assessment of control and epidemiological surveillance measures for the control of leishmaniasis, as is the case in Brazil.
