Non-invasive volatiles test for canine leishmaniasis diagnosis

Project description

Detecting leishmaniasis in dog breath

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by the Leishmania intracellular parasites that are transmitted through the bite of certain female sandflies. It is found in tropics, subtropics and southern Europe, and diagnosis takes place through tissue examination, molecular and antibody tests. The EU-funded CANLEISH project will focus on the diagnosis of canine leishmaniasis, one of the most important vector-borne parasitic diseases of dogs. Researchers will develop an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic method that detects specific volatile compounds emitted by dogs' breath and hair. The method will employ a system of gas-sensing devices that undertakes analysis of different volatile chemicals, offering an easy diagnostic tool for canine leishmaniasis.

Objective

Canine leishmaniasis is among the most important vector-borne parasitic diseases of dogs. This study will focus on investigating the feasibility of a non-invasive methodology for the diagnosis of canine leishmaniasis in dogs via the analysis of non-invasive volatile samples emitted by dogs’ breath and hair, employing analytical methods and a system composed of different chemical gas sensing devices.
