Abstract
Canine leishmaniosis epidemiological update and applications. Canine leishmaniosis is a vector-borne disease caused by Leishmania infantum mainly transmitted by the bites of phlebotomine sandflies. The epidemiological role of domestic dogs (safe, asymptomatic, sick or vaccinated) is very important because it is the main source of parasites for the vector. But the proved or potential epidemiological role of wild animals (rabbit, hare,…) require more investigations for a best efficacy. The displacement or importation of infected dogs combined with the climatic modifications contribute to a significative incidence of canine and human clinical cases. Vaccination associated with topical insecticides should be recommanded for dogs living or travelling in endemic areas.
