The illness has various consequences. <strong>If infected animals aren&#8217;t treated they can die<\/strong>, however, although this is a chronic illness, <strong>if they receive the right treatment it won&#8217;t become fatal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RISK AREAS AND TRANSMISSION OF LEISHMANIASIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leishmaniasis mosquitoes live <strong>throughout the Mediterranean area, the Middle East and some areas of South America<\/strong>. This type of insect needs a <strong>warm, humid climate<\/strong> (from 17\u00baC to 30\u00baC) to survive. Therefore, apart from the geographical area, <strong>Spring and Summer<\/strong> are when the mosquito population increases and there is more risk of being bitten.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The risk of dogs passing the illness on to humans is practically non-existent<\/strong>, so those living with a dog with Leishmaniasis don&#8217;t need to worry about possibly catching it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW TO PREVENT LEISHMANIASIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As it is caught through an insect bite, one way of preventing it is to use <strong>insects repellent<\/strong> on your dog and avoid areas that are breeding grounds for mosquitoes: <strong>ponds, rivers and areas with stagnant water<\/strong>, etc. Another way worth considering is the <strong>leishmaniasis vaccine<\/strong>, although it not guarantees the illness will not be caught.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DOG HAS LEISHMANIASIS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The<strong> symptoms of leishmaniasis<\/strong> are: ulcer-type lesions on the ears, head -where they may also lose fur- and paws, inflammation of the eyes, conjunctivitis, weight loss, diarrhoea, wounds that take too long to heal, dermatitis, fatigue, weakness and inflammation of the abdomen, amongst others. Even so, <strong>only a vet can make a proper diagnosis<\/strong>, so we recommend seeing one urgently if you are in doubt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TREATING LEISHMANIASIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leishmaniasis has no cure<\/strong> but it does have treatment that improves the dog&#8217;s quality of life. The treatment to be followed after a bite is both pharmaceutical and nutritional. In terms of <strong>food<\/strong>, you need to <strong>get their weight and muscle mass back up<\/strong> -they&#8217;ll need <strong>food that is easy to digest<\/strong>&#8211; and they&#8217;ll also need to have <strong>antioxidant foods that stimulate the immune system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the climate-related illnesses that most affects dogs is leishmaniasis.
