Leishmania is the third most important canine disease worldwide,caused by the bite of the sandfly. It is passed between dogs when the sandfly bites an infected dog and then bites another dog. Understandably it is rampant in the dog refuges of the Mediterranean countries. It is diagnosed by blood test and, if untreated, can be fatal. Scalibor collars are used by many rescue associations but these are expensive. Now there is a new cheaper treatment.
