Comments: In this paper, the
LeishVet group provides practical and updated guidelines for the
diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, control and prevention of canine
leishmaniosis. It is also a very good review for background, epidemiology and
distribution of this disease. The
interpretation of diagnostic tests for different clinical presentations is made
easy and is well substantiated. The
treatment recommendations are based on four clinical stages after
extensive evidence-based research. These guidelines are highly recommended for specialists
and residents.
