TLDR
Reduction of human VL incidence was statistically correlated to dog euthanasia rate when it was analyzed for the period of two years after application of this measure, and factors that may influence this relationship are considered.About:

One health: the importance of companion animal vector-borne diseases
TL;DR: This review considers the role of small companion animals in One Health and specifically addresses the major vector-borne infectious diseases that are shared by man, dogs and cats.
Journal ArticleDOI
One Health: The global challenge of epidemic and endemic leishmaniasis
TL;DR: Visceral leishmaniasis is a perfect example of a small companion animal disease for which prevention and control might abolish or decrease the suffering of canine and human patients, and which aligns well with the One Health approach.

Canine visceral leishmaniasis: Diagnosis and management of the reservoir living among us.
Bruno L. Travi,Anabela Cordeiro-da-Silva,Anabela Cordeiro-da-Silva,Filipe Dantas-Torres,Guadalupe Miró +4 more
TL;DR: The current serological and molecular diagnostic methods used in epidemiological research and veterinary clinics to diagnose CVL and includes new point-of-care (POC) tests under development are focused on.

Vaccines for canine leishmaniasis.
TL;DR: The recent identification of several Leishmania proteins with T-cell epitopes anticipates development of a multiprotein vaccine that will be capable of protecting both humans and dogs against VL, a severe and frequently lethal protozoan disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immunopathology of canine vector-borne diseases
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent studies of the pathology and host immune response in the major CVBDs (leishmaniosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, hepatozoonosis, anaplasmosis, bartonellosis and borreliosis); the ultimate application of such immunological investigation is the development of effective vaccines.

Infectiousness in a Cohort of Brazilian Dogs: Why Culling Fails to Control Visceral Leishmaniasis in Areas of High Transmission
Orin Courtenay,Orin Courtenay,Rupert J. Quinnell,Rupert J. Quinnell,Lourdes Maria Garcez,Jeffrey Jon Shaw,Christopher Dye +6 more
TL;DR: Mathematical modeling suggests that culling programs fail because of high incidence of infection and infectiousness, the insensitivity of the diagnostic test to detect infectious dogs, and time delays between diagnosis and culling.

Studies on control of visceral leishmaniasis: impact of dog control on canine and human visceral leishmaniasis in Jacobina, Bahia, Brazil.

TL;DR: The results of this intervention study suggest that the elimination of the majority of seropositive dogs may affect the cumulative incidence of seroconversion in dogs temporarily and may also diminish the incidence of human cases of visceral leishmaniasis.

Visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil: revisiting paradigms of epidemiology and control
TL;DR: There is a need not only for a better definition of priority areas, but also for the implementation of a fieldwork monitoring system to the disease surveillance that could permit a further evaluation of the control program in areas where visceral leishmaniasis is endemic.

Effect of Eliminating Seropositive Canines on the Transmission of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Brazil

TL;DR: The elimination of infected canines in the intervention valleys did not result in a statistically significant difference between the incidences of human serological conversion in the Intervention and control valleys at either 6 or 12 months, and the role of humans as a significant reservoir for AVL is proposed as an explanation for the study results.

Assessment of an optimized dog-culling program in the dynamics of canine Leishmania transmission.

TL;DR: It is suggested that dog-culling programs do not reduce the incidence of CLI, even with an optimized intervention, and further efforts on ZVL control should be directed to developing new strategies or to testing control methods already in place with properly designed trials.
