Canine Leishmaniasis, also known as Canine Leishmania, is a veterinary and human disease caused by Leishmania protozoa, which mainly infects dogs, but through the transmission of vector insects, humans are also at risk of infection. In this paper, the clinical symptoms, infectiousness, diagnostic methods, prevention and treatment of canine leishmaniasis will be introduced in detail, aiming to enhance public awareness of the disease and strengthen preventive and control measures.
Clinical symptoms of canine leishmaniasis
The clinical symptoms of canine 리슈마니아증 vary according to individual differences and the degree of infection. Generally speaking, sick dogs will have prolonged irregular fever with large fluctuations in body temperature for a long period of time. In addition, splenomegaly, anaemia and lethargy are common clinical manifestations. Sick dogs tend to have loss of appetite, depression, and significant weight loss. During disease progression, white blood cell counts may decrease and serum globulin levels increase.
Depending on the pathogen and the site of infection, canine leishmaniasis can also be classified into various types such as visceral, cutaneous and mucosal. Visceral leishmaniasis mainly manifests as enlargement and abnormal function of internal organs such as liver, spleen and lymph nodes; cutaneous leishmaniasis will form ulcers, nodules and other lesions on the skin; and mucosal leishmaniasis may affect the mucosal tissues in the oral cavity, nasal cavity and other parts.
Second, the infectiousness of canine leishmaniasis
Canine leishmaniasis is a disease transmitted by vector insects, and the main vector is the lacewing. When a lacewing bites a dog or human infected with Leishmania protozoa, it sucks up blood containing the pathogen and transmits the pathogen to new hosts when it subsequently bites other hosts. Disease transmission is therefore closely related to the activity cycle and distribution range of leishmania, as well as the density of hosts.
It is worth noting that although humans are not the primary hosts of canine leishmaniasis, they can be infected with the disease through contact with infected dogs or by lacewing bites. Therefore, people living or working in infected areas need to pay special attention to prevention.
Diagnosis of Canine Leishmaniasis
The diagnosis of canine leishmaniasis mainly relies on clinical symptoms, epidemiological investigations and laboratory tests. Veterinarians will conduct a detailed clinical examination of the sick dog, observe changes in body temperature, body weight and mental status, and collect blood and lymph node samples for laboratory tests,such as Canine Leishmania Antibody Rapid Test(C.LSH Ab)
Laboratory tests include various methods such as haematological tests, serological tests and molecular biological tests. Haematological examination can observe changes in indicators such as white blood cell counts and serum globulin levels; serological testing can determine infection by detecting specific antibodies or antigens; molecular biology testing can directly detect pathogen DNA through PCR and other techniques, which have higher sensitivity and specificity.
In addition, for humans suspected to be infected, corresponding medical examination and diagnosis are also needed to exclude or confirm infection.
Prevention of Canine Leishmaniasis
The key to preventing canine leishmaniasis lies in controlling the number of vector insects and reducing the chances of contact between humans and dogs with lacewings. In infected areas, the environment should be cleaned up regularly to eliminate the breeding places of whitefly, such as waterlogged containers and rubbish piles. Meanwhile, measures such as the use of insecticides or mosquito nets should be used to reduce the chance of lacewing bites.
For dogs, a leishmaniasis vaccine can be administered to increase their resistance. The vaccine, which usually consists of inactivated Leishmania protozoa or its components, can stimulate a specific immune response in dogs, thus preventing the disease from occurring. In addition, regular medical check-ups and deworming of dogs are also important measures to prevent the disease.
Humans should also pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life and avoid direct contact with infected dogs, especially in infected areas or during the peak period of whitefly activity. During outdoor activities, they should try to wear long sleeves and trousers and use protective measures such as mosquito repellent.
Treatment of Canine Leishmaniasis
The treatment of canine leishmaniasis mainly includes two aspects of drug therapy and supportive therapy. Pharmacological treatment is directed at the pathogen, and commonly used drugs include antileishmanials and immunosuppressants. Antileishmanials can kill or inhibit the growth and reproduction of the pathogen, thus reducing the disease; immunosuppressants can regulate the immune response of the dog and reduce the immune damage.
Supportive treatment is directed at the clinical symptoms of sick dogs, including replenishing body fluids, correcting electrolyte disorders, and providing nutritional support. For sick dogs with severe anaemia or splenomegaly, blood transfusion or surgery may be required.
It should be noted that the treatment of canine leishmaniasis needs to last for a long period of time and the efficacy may vary depending on individual differences and the degree of infection. Therefore, it is necessary to closely observe the changes in the condition of the sick dog during the course of treatment and adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner.
In conclusion, canine leishmaniasis is a serious zoonosis that poses a threat to both canine and human health. The incidence of the disease can be effectively reduced by strengthening preventive and control measures and reducing the number of vector insects and the chance of contact between humans and dogs. At the same time, timely diagnosis and treatment is also key for sick dogs and humans who have been infected. It is hoped that the introduction of this article will enhance public awareness of canine leishmaniasis and strengthen prevention and control efforts.
