  abstract = {{I}n the context of global warming and the risk of spreading arthropod-borne diseases, the emergence and reemergence of leishmaniasis should not be neglected. {I}n {S}enegal, over the past few years, cases of canine leishmaniasis have been observed. {W}e aim to improve the understanding of the transmission cycle of this zoonosis, to determine the responsible species and to evaluate the risk for human health. {A}n epidemiological and serological study on canine and human populations in the community of {M}ont {R}olland ({T}hies area) was conducted. {T}he data showed a high seroprevalence of canine leishmaniasis (>40%) and more than 30% seropositive people. {T}he dogs' seroprevalence was confirmed by {PCR} data (concordance > 0.85, {K}appa > 0.7). {T}he statistical analysis showed strong statistical associations between the health status of dogs and seropositivity, the number of positive {PCR}s, clinical signs and the number of {L}eishmania isolates. {F}or the first time, the discriminative {PCR}s performed on canine {L}eishmania strains clearly evidenced that the pathogenic agent is {L}eishmania infantum. {T}he results obtained show that transmission of this species is well established in this area. {T}hat the high incidence of seropositivity in humans may be a consequence of infection with this species is discussed. {P}ublished by {E}lsevier {M}asson {SAS} on behalf of the {I}nstitut {P}asteur.},
