“…Although some Brazilian studies suggested that dog culling associated with other strategies (e.g., residual spraying and treatment of human cases) could help controlling human VL (e.g., [35,36]), a systematic review, which was based on an evidence report that was requested by the Pan American Health Organization, concluded that well-designed intervention studies are scarce and that routine control strategies against the canine reservoirs are based on weak and conflicting evidence [7]. Indeed, there has been much debate about the ethical aspects and the effectiveness of the dog culling strategy and the need for alternative strategies has been widely discussed [5,8,37–39].…”

“…The incidence curve for HVL in Adamantina shows that the HVL incidence rates were higher in the early years of the occurrence of the disease, but since 2007, there has been a downward trend in the number of reported cases, a situation similar to the one observed in the AR of Aracatuba (9) . The decrease in the incidence may be related to the implementation of the surveillance and control measures advocated by the National Plan for Surveillance and Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis (10) (21) and/or as a consequence of the expected cyclicity for this type of disease.…”

“…Para as situações abandono de tratamento e transferência, registraram-se 0,3% e 31,1%, respectivamente. É relevante considerar que uma parcela dos indivíduos com LV foi a óbito, mostrando uma letalidade crescente e alta (5,8%), quando comparado ao estimado pelo Ministério da Saúde 19 . Segundo dados deste órgão, a letalidade por LV aumentou de 3,4% em 1994 para 5,7% em 2009, o que representou incremento de 67,6% 19 .…”
