This study demonstrates the presence of certain zoonotic agents (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) in stray dogs living within the studied area. Dogs play an important role in the transmission of diseases that are potentially harmful to humans. Although the prevalence of canine leptospirosis and trypanosomiasis is not high in Southern Mexico compared with other tropical regions of Mexico, the presence of these zoonotic agents in the stray dog population demonstrates that the stray dog population in this region is a significant reservoir and potential source of infection in humans. Special care should be taken when handling stray dogs that exhibit skin lesions with partial alopecia, since a pathological\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Aspergillus<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. fungus may be present.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2008.0170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,10]],"date-time":"2009-06-10T08:26:30Z","timestamp":1244622390000},"page":"135-141","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Stray Dogs as Reservoirs of the Zoonotic Agents\n                    <i>Leptospira interrogans<\/i>\n                    ,\n                    <i>Trypanosoma cruzi<\/i>\n                    , and\n                    <i>Aspergillus<\/i>\n                    spp. in an Urban Area of Chiapas in Southern Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Matilde","family":"Jimenez-Coello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Yucat\u00e1n","place":["M\u00e9xico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Ortega-Pacheco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Yucat\u00e1n","place":["M\u00e9xico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugenia","family":"Guzman-Marin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Yucat\u00e1n","place":["M\u00e9xico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dario M.","family":"Guiris-Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Chiapas","place":["M\u00e9xico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Martinez-Figueroa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Chiapas","place":["M\u00e9xico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karla Y.","family":"Acosta-Viana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Yucat\u00e1n","place":["M\u00e9xico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2000.216.371"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.1997.57.328"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","first-page":"324","article-title":"Treatment and immunological evaluation of three cases of canine aspergillosis","volume":"13","author":"Barrett RE","year":"1977","unstructured":"Barrett RE, , Hoffer RE, , Schulltz RDJ.
