Objetivo: detectar Leishmania sp. en piel de cola de Rattus rattus a través de técnicas de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa. Material y Método: Se analizaron 45 muestras de piel de Rattus rattus del área urbana de la ciudad de Corrientes, Argentina. La detección de Leishmania sp se realizó mediante técnicas de PCR anidada. Resultados: En la primera ronda de amplificación se detectó ADN de Leishmania en 22 muestras de 45 procesadas (49%) y en 14 muestras en la segunda ronda (31%). Conclusiones: Estos resultados contribuyen a aumentar la información existente en nuestra región sobre la posible relación entre Leishmania y Rattus rattus, teniendo en cuenta la alta prevalencia encontrada en piel sumado a la total ausencia de lesiones. Otros aspectos deberán seguir estudiándose para establecer el rol de estos animales en la cadena epidemiológica de la enfermedad en una zona urbana endémica a leishmaniasis en otras especies animales.
