Abstract excerpt

Feline leishmaniosis (FeL) caused by Leishmania infantum is increasingly recognized in endemic areas, but factors influencing susceptibility in cats remain incompletely understood. Because blood group antigens may modulate host-pathogen interactions, this study evaluated whether feline AB blood system phenotypes are associated with L. infantum seropositivity and/or molecular positivity in cats from Italy....
