Technical information
Canine leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum. This disease is endemic in many parts of the world, especially in Mediterranean countries, and is transmitted through the bite of infected sandflies.
Course of disease and symptoms
After transmission via the bite of an infected sandfly, the infection usually progresses over months or years. Symptoms can vary and range from nonspecific signs such as weight loss, loss of appetite, lethargy, and skin lesions to more severe conditions such as kidney failure, nosebleeds, and eye problems. Dogs that are not treated can die from the long-term effects of the disease.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is carried out through serological tests to identify antibodies against Leishmania. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) can also detect the parasite's genetic material. A clinical examination is also important to identify possible symptoms such as skin lesions and swollen lymph nodes.
Therapy
There is no complete cure for canine leishmaniasis, but treatment aims to reduce the parasite load and alleviate symptoms. Medications such as allopurinol and meglumine antimoniate are commonly used. Dogs must be monitored and treated for life to control the disease.
Prevention
Preventive measures against leishmaniasis include protection from sandfly bites. This can be achieved through insect repellents, specially designed collars, or spot-on products. In high-risk areas, vaccination against Leishmania can also help reduce the risk of clinical disease.
