Clinical cases of feline leishmaniosis caused by species other than Leishmania infantum

Leishmania species	Geographic location	Signalment	Lesions and outcome	Reference
L. amazonensis	Brazil	2-year-old female	Single, nodular lesion (2 cm in diameter) on the nose and many nodules of different sizes on the ears and digital regions; smears from lesion aspirates with numerous amastigotes. Respiratory failure and euthanasia some days after diagnosis	[73]
L. braziliensis	Brazil	4-year-old female	Cutaneous ulcer (0.5 cm in diameter) present for 6 months on the nose, enlargement of the planum nasale and two additional ulcers on the left face (0.3 cm in diameter each). Good general condition. Outcome not reported	[74]
		5-year-old female	Papule on the bridge of the nose and vegetating lesion on the nasal mucosa for 3 months. Good general condition. Outcome not described
	French Guiana	3 to 5-year-old female	Cutaneous ulcer (1 cm in diameter) on the nose (for ~8 month) and nodules of different sizes on the ears. Outcome not reported	[93]
L. mexicana	USA (Texas)	Immunocompetent long-haired adult male followed up for 7 years	Four large (4–7 mm) and many small nodules initially confined to the left ear; lesions with numerous amastigote forms	[75]
			Two years after a radical pinnectomy, the animal had lesion recurrence at the stump, and lesions later developed on the muzzle and nasal mucosa; treatment was attempted several times, but with no resolution
	USA (Texas)	8 domestic cats (5 males and 3 females) aged 1 to 11 years old (median: 3 years)	One or multiple nodules on the pinnae and less commonly on the muzzle and periorbital skin, with variably ulcerated, scaled or smooth surfaces (histology: numerous amastigotes)	[76]
			Two cats had recurrent cutaneous leishmaniosis: one was treated with allopurinol, but the skin lesions continued to recur despite treatment; in three other cats, excisional biopsy was apparently curative, and lesions did not recur during the follow-up period (2–4 years)
L. venezuelensis	Venezuela (Lara state)	4 cats	One cat: nodular lesion (2 cm) on the nose and six smaller nodules on the ears; two cats: single nodules (2–3 cm) on the nose; one cat: single nodule on the nose (2–3 cm) and 3 months afterwards presented with metastatic new lesions on the ears, tail and lower limbs	[105]
