The leishmania vaccine is indicated for the immunization of dogs over six months of age. It is one of the ways to control the disease, although the most effective is the prevention of the sand fly bite, which triggers the infection. The leishmania vaccine does not prevent infection but it does control its spread and the damage it causes in the dog. It is based on the inoculation of leishmania proteins that stimulate our pet's immune system. These defenses generated by the vaccine are not permanent, so it is necessary to repeat the doses. Leishmaniasis is a serious infectious parasitic disease that is transmitted by the bite of an insect, the sandfly. Prevention of the disease focuses on avoiding the sandfly bite, usually through antiparasitics that act as repellents. If this is not possible, leishmaniasis treatment options involve addressing the symptoms of the infection. Natural antiparasitics to prevent leishmania Preventing the sandfly bite is the main tool against leishmania. To achieve this, there is a wide range of antiparasitic solutions aimed at preventing infestations of all types of insects, among which is the sand fly.

Disadvantages of the leishmania vaccine It was at the end of the 90s when research began on the development of a vaccine for leishmania. After years of research and clinical trials, the first vaccine, CaniLeish, was marketed in 2011. Years later, in 2016, Letifend was launched. The drawbacks of the CZ Leads leishmania vaccine include: To achieve immunity, several doses are necessary. The vaccines currently available are not 100% effective as they are parasitic vaccines. The use of adjuvants, substances that are added to the vaccine to enhance its action, can cause side effects (itching, inflammation, apathy, digestive problems...). This is why it is not recommended to vaccinate dogs less than six months old. On the other hand, Disane's natural antiparasitics can be used on puppies and pregnant females, since they do not contain chemicals and are harmless to the health of our pet.
