Six 4 month-old beagles were inoculated with Leishmania infantum, three of them intraperitoneally (Group A) and the other three intravenously (Group B). The animals from Group A were killed at 109, 433 and 592 days after inoculation and animals from Group B 109, 171 and 334 days after inoculation. At 350 days (Group A) and 275 days (Group B) after inoculation, dogs started to develop a chronic large bowel diarrhoea. At necropsy a diffuse colonic and rectal wall thickening of gradually increasing severity was observed. Histological examination of the colon showed a diffuse inflammatory infiltration of the mucosa and submucosa by macrophages with amastigotes, lymphocytes, plasma cells and some neutrophils and eosinophils. The surface epithelium developed increasingly extensive degeneration, which caused the development of erosions on the mucosal surface. The crypts of Lieberkühn decreased in number and showed degeneration of the crypt epithelium.
