“…Such information is important as promoting population expansion of genetically determined resistant dogs would significantly improve VL control. However, the most feasible approach to controlling VL are likely the development of an effective vaccine 44 to protect dogs from being infectious to the sand fly vector, and identifying new methods to prevent infection in canines and humans, such as the use of insecticidal dog collars, 45,46 and insecticidetreated bednets, 47,48 which are promising in reducing canine and human incidence. Future intervention trials should show whether these new tools could be used to develop a sustainable VL prevention and control strategy.…”

Abstract. To assess the effect of the rapid removal of potentially infectious dogs on the prevalence and incidence of canine infections, a prospective study was undertaken in an area endemic for Leishmania infantum. We used serological testing based on the rapid DPP rK28 fusion protein chromatographic immunoassay for this dog screening-and-culling intervention trial. The outcome was evaluated by measuring seropositivity and sero-conversion/-reversion rates for canine infection. Our estimates indicated that concomitant detection and elimination of seropositive dogs with active disease may affect the numbers of canine infections and disease burden temporarily, although it is insufficient as a measure to interrupt the zoonotic L. infantum transmission. However, most of the asymptomatic, seropositive dogs continuously exhibit low levels of antibodies and/or reverted, remaining seronegative thereafter. In the process of waiting for an effective vaccine, one option for canine reservoir control may be to identify these possibly genetically resistant animals and promote their expansion in the population.

“…DM treatment of dogs by way of an aqueous bath has been found to be highly effective in protecting the animals against sandfly bites in China (Xiong et al 1994(Xiong et al , 1995. DM impregnated collars have been used in the same country (Chen et al 2001), Italy (Maroli et al 2001), and Brazil (David et al 2001, Reithinger et al 2004. Among the great advantages of DM is its repellant and killing action of long duration No side effects have been detected, and it is considered to offer no human or canine health risk (WHO 1967).…”

“…Insecticide-impregnated dog collars, for example, can protect dogs from the bites of the vectors for several weeks 18,27,32,41 . The community-wide application of deltamethrinimpregnated dog collars had already showed efficacy not only to protect dogs from L. infantum infection, but also in reducing the risk of infection in Iranian children 27 .…”

SUMMARYIn the last 20 years, despite the known underestimation of cases, Brazil registered a marked increase in the incidence of visceral leishmaniasis. The main goal of this review is to reflect on some aspects of this zoonosis in Brazil and also to encourage the discussion in order to find more viable, effective and affordable strategies to be implemented by the Brazilian Leishmaniasis Control Program. The current situation of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil might be seen as a paradox: the most important aspects of the disease are known, but so far the control of this disease has not yet been achieved. The current control strategies have not been able to prevent the geographical expansion, and even a rise in the incidence and lethality of visceral leishmaniasis. 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.
