B. Davoust, EPIDEMIOLOGY OF DOG EHRLICHIOSIS, LEISHMA NIASIS AND DIROFILARIASIS -ACTUAL SITUATION IN POPULATIONS OF THE FRENCH ARMY, Revue de Medecine Veterinaire, 145(4), 1994, pp. 249-256
After a brief recall on the main characteristics of ehrlichiosis, leis
hmaniasis and dirofilariasis in dog, the author presents results on ep
idemiologic surveys in 400 military dogs from the mediterranean south-
east region of France. In spite of systematic therapy, chronic asympto
matic ehrlichiosis is always present, especially in Corsica. Leishmani
asis is enzootic in two kennels (Marseille and Saint-Mandrier). Howeve
r, eradication of dirofilariasis has been achieved.
