什么是利什曼病？
利什曼病是一种由被称为利什曼属的原生动物引起的传染病，它通过被感染的噬人蚊子（也称为 "蚊掌 "或 "比里吉"）叮咬传播。 它被认为是一种人畜共患病，可以影响男人和狗。 在宠物犬中，它被称为犬内脏利什曼病。
传播的形式
根据兽医医生Drª Ana Flávia Ferreira的说法，这种疾病不会将被感染的狗传染给健康的狗。专业人士，他补充说："猫不会受到这种病理学的影响。

利什曼病的治疗
据Ana Flávia博士介绍，在巴西，犬内脏利什曼病的治疗仍有争议。"卫生部和农业部决定，感染该病的动物必须被献祭；这引起了主人的反抗，因为宠物被认为是家庭的'成员'。 然而，治疗并不被禁止，可以通过药物进行对症治疗。他/她通知兽医，它完成了："为此，建议狗的主人，主要是那些居住在疾病登记较多的地方的人，为他们的动物接种疫苗作为预防措施"。
如何预防
在巴西，目前市场上有一种针对犬内脏利什曼病的疫苗，其保护率超过92%，已经在全国范围内保护了7万多只狗。
疫苗接种计划应与其他控制措施相结合，如打击昆虫病媒（phlebotomus），在环境中使用杀虫剂和在狗身上使用驱虫产品，在巴西的宠物市场上也已经可以买到。
