Leishmaniases in the European Union and Neighboring Countries
Berriatua, Eduardo; Maia, Carla; Conceição, Cláudia; Özbel, Yusuf; Töz, Seray; Baneth, Gad; Pérez-Cutillas, Pedro; Ortuño, Maria; Muñoz, ClaraA questionnaire survey of animal and human health authorities in Europe revealed that leishmaniases are not notifiable in all countries with autochthonous cases. Few countries implement surveillance and control targeting both animal and human infections. Leishmaniases are considered emergent diseases in most countries, and lack of resources is a challenge for control.

At the 14th Symposium of the CVBD World Forum in Trieste, Italy (March 25-28, 2019), we identif...
Canine leishmaniasis control in the context of one health
Dantas-Torres, Filipe; Miró, Guadalupe; Baneth, Gad; Bourdeau, Patrick; Breitschwerdt, Edward; Capelli, Gioia; Cardoso, Luís; Day, Michael J.Dogs are the main reservoir of Leishmania infantum and in some countries have been regularly culled as part of government policy to control visceral leishmaniasis. At the 13th Symposium of the Companion Vector-Borne Diseases World Forum in Windsor, UK, March 19-22, 2018, we consolidated a consensus statement regarding the usefulness of dog culling as a means of controlling visceral leishmaniasis. The statement ...
Recent advances on Dirofilaria repens in dogs and humans in Europe
Capelli, Gioia; Genchi, Claudio; Baneth, Gad; Bourdeau, Patrick; Brianti, Emanuele; Cardoso, Luís; Danesi, Patrizia; Fuehrer, Hans PeterDirofilaria repens is a nematode affecting domestic and wild canids, transmitted by several species of mosquitoes. It usually causes a non-pathogenic subcutaneous infection in dogs and is the principal agent of human dirofilariosis in the Old World. In the last decades, D. repens has increased in prevalence in areas where it has already been reported and its distribution range has expanded into new areas of Eur...

Methods: We conducted a study of domestic animals (goats, sheep, cows, dogs, and donkeys) in...
