The trūRapid Leishmania is a rapid test for detection of Leishmania infantum antibody in canine serum plasma, or anticoagulated whole blood.

Leishmaniosis is a zoonosis that spreads across the tropics, subtropics, southern Europe as well as the Mediterranean and is transmitted by female sandflies (Phlebotomidae). Leishmaniosis has even a noteworthy meaning in far northern areas as a travel or an imported disease. Due to an incubation period ranging from months to years dogs of all ages can be infected. The disease can proceed symptomatically, sub clinically or latently; clinical symptoms are (ordered by decreasing frequency): lymphadenopathy, skin reactions, cachexia, hyperthermia, conjunctivitis, splenomegaly, and abnormal claws. Renal failure may develop in later stages of the disease and often leads to complications. As eradication of parasites is not possible, early detection of disease and lifelong treatment of the patient is required.
