SUMMARY:

Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL), also known as kala-azar, is an infectious disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, of the Trypanosimatidae family. It is considered an important zoonosis, which has spread rapidly in large urban centers and metropolitan regions of Brazilian cities. Conceptualized as a chronic disease, it is capable of progressing to a fatal condition and dogs are the main domestic reservoirs, which implies intimate contact between the parasite and humans. There are already specific forms of diagnosis, such as serological tests (rapid tests and ELISA), in addition to PCR. However, the association of several diagnostic techniques can be beneficial and allow for a more accurate diagnosis, due to signaling the need for research in asymptomatic dogs. In this context, few studies report on the ultrasound changes present in animals positive for leishmaniasis, therefore this work aims to carry out a bibliographic review on the main ultrasound findings in abdominal organs of dogs naturally infected by CVL.
