Figure Lengend Snippet: Canine L. (L.) chagasi ‐infection in Santana do Cafezal, Barcarena, Pará State, Brazil. Serological [IFAT‐IgG] and cellular [LST] immune responses conversions according to the immunological profiles; * p ≤ 0.0001. 1st incidence = at 6 month; 2nd incidence = at 12 month.
Article Snippet: The immunological assays (IFAT‐IgG and LST) were performed with species‐specific L. (L.) chagasi ‐antigens, that is, amastigote from experimental infection in ‘hamster’ for IFAT‐IgG, and promastigote from culture medium (Difco B45) for LST, both produced in the ‘Ralph Lainson’ leishmaniasis laboratory, at Evandro Chagas Institute, Ministry of Health, Brazil.
