Positive PCR products of the 5.8S-ITS2-28S rRNA of microfilariae and two PCR products of hsp70C of Leishmania spp. from dog were confirmed by Sanger sequencing (Macrogen, Korea). Reads were compared with those reported in the database GenBank using the BLAST tool. Obtained sequences were assembled with Geneious Prime software version 2022.0.1 [31 ]. Revised sequences of microfilarial species were reported to GenBank with accession numbers MZ473246, MZ473247, MZ473248, MZ473249, MZ468150, MZ468151, and MZ474199. In the same way, detected sequences from L. infantum were reported with the accession numbers MZ605427 and MZ605428.
