ABSTRACT
The serum levels of Gamma-GT in dogs naturally infected by Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi were evaluated. Two groups of animals were used the first with 41 naturally infect dogs and the second with 14 uninfect animals. The results showed 17.1% (7/41) dogs presented high levels of gamma-GT, but no difference between groups was observed. So, the serum level of gamma-GT is not a tool for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in dogs.
