In Europe, the vaccination for leishmaniasis requires a quick blood test to confirm the dog does not have the disease, and then the vaccine is given. Use of a collar or spray to repel ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, and sand flies is recommended as an added precaution. Photo courtesy Claire Wil...
In this work, we developed a novel optimization model for VL control with five potential preventive control methods: (1) insecticide-impregnated dog collar, (2) dog vaccination, (3) infected dog culling, (4) infected dog treatment and (5) sandfly population control. Using a set of ...

This report evaluated the effectiveness of the mass use of deltamethrin-impregnated dog collars in areas of transmission of VL by Lutzomyia spp. Collaring was able to protect dogs and may represent an effective strategy that could be implemented to control infection in both dogs and humans in ...
(p = 0.01) against leishmaniasis infection of more than 44%, and up to 100% for dogs that had kept the collar until the end of the intervention, (iii) despite a non-significant difference (p>0.05), dog-deworming with pra-ziquantel yielded a reduction in the rate of Echinococcus ...
In mid-December 2020, an intact 1.5-year-old male French bulldog was referred to our Veterinary Hospital due to severe and persistent lameness of his right hindlimb that had appeared suddenly about four months earlier. From the very beginning, the lameness had been unsuccessfully treated with dif...

Adoption of DM4 collars reduces the canine euthanasia, and the lower CVL incidence was sustained one year after the discontinued use of the collar and could be observed throughout the urban area. The estimated effectiveness was 66% and the probability of a dog’s survival reached 90% after ...
