TL;DR: Over 850 Leishmania-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection cases have been recorded, the majority in Europe, where 7 to 17% of HIV-positive individuals with fever have amastigotes, suggesting that Leishmanniasis-infected individuals without symptoms will express symptoms of leishmaniasis if they become immunosuppressed.

The Logic of Visceral Leishmaniasis Control
TL;DR: Both killing vectors and reducing susceptibility (by whatever means) are more effective than killing dogs or treating them with drugs, and a dog vaccine is highly desirable in Europe, where vector control is less likely to be successful.
