Barkinside rescues dogs from the local area and throughout Spain. We also assist other rescues that need our help, if requested and we are able. Dog collars impregnated with deltamethrin are used to control the infection of reservoir dogs. Leishmaniosis cannot be transmitted from dog to humans Barkinside advises that all dogs in and from Spain should have a blood test annually. LEISHMANIASIS Seroprevalence : "...the frequency of individuals in a population who have a particular element and especially antibodies to an infectious agent in their blood serum..." If caught early and not affecting the main organs, Leishmaniosis can be treated and controlled very effectively and the dog can lead a long and happy life. Dogs are the main host and main reservoir of Leishmania infantum, a parasite that causes death in symptomatic dogs (canine leishmaniasis), when not treated. This parasite is transmitted through the bite of a sandfly (a small insect related to mosquitoes and flies) in tropical and subtropical countries, but direct transmission between dogs, and from pregnant dogs to their puppies, exists. A dog’s immune response can contain the infection, preventing active disease, for months-to-years; it can take up to 7 years from the point of infection before signs of disease develop. Canine Symptoms commonly include: skin problems (especially around the head and pressure points), enlarged lymph nodes enlarged spleen, eye problems, weight loss, lethargy, reduced appetite, nose bleeds, and vomiting and diarrhoea. There are many common blood test abnormalities seen in Leishmania infection – although none of these are specific for the infection. Canine leishmaniasis is expanding to the Northern Hemisphere, where it was barely known.This is due to climate change and the importation of dogs. Several vaccines have been developed in the last decade, but their efficacy is limited and not guaranteed to be 100% effective, this includes the innoculation available in Spain. Veterinary researchers are still waiting for the ideal drug that can eliminate the parasite from target organs and limit transmission. How it spreads: When female sandflies bite and feed on blood of an infected host, they can acquire the Leishmania parasites. These parasites can then be transmitted to another host by the same sandfly species during a subsequent blood meal. Additionally, Leishmania can be passed from a mother to her child, from a female dog to her puppy, or through the sharing of syringes. In southern European countries, Canine leishmaniasis, (now referred to as "CanL"), seroprevalence reaches high levels. Prevelance in Spain: CanL is widespread in Spain. It can be considered endemic in almost the entire territory. In the southeast section of the country, the seroprevalence was calculated at 23.7%. Hot spots have been found in the Axarquia region (Malaga). Figures are lower in central Spain (1–5%) and in the North, whereas in the Pyrenees and northeastern areas, 19.5% prevalence was found, mainly among the hunting dog population. Low prevalence numbers (0–2.5%) were found in the Canary Islands, although imported cases were not ruled out. This disease is mostly unknown by veterinarians outside the endemic areas. In Humans the parasite manifests in various forms, causing visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in populations in the Mediterranean Basin, North Africa, South America, and West Asia. Cutaneous leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania tropica), causes skin sores which are often self-healing within a few months, but which may leave ugly scars; it occurs worldwide, including the Mediterranean coast. Visceral leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania infantum), causes systemic disease, presenting with fever, malaise, weight loss and anaemia, swelling of the spleen, liver and lymph nodes; most of the cases reported worldwide occur in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan. Risk for people A noteworthy number of leishmaniasis cases in the European Union (EU) come from outside Europe, often due to travel to tropical countries where leishmaniasis is more prevalent. Vaccination and treatment: Currently, there is no available vaccination for this parasite. However, various treatments exist, although over time, the parasite has developed resistance to some of these medications. Protective measures include: using methods like mosquito nets treated with insect repellent, applying insect repellent directly to your skin, managing the presence of insects around your home.

Casa de Griffon Creating awareness of the plight of the beautiful Spanish dog known as Griffons Hi, I have run Casa de Griffon for 5 years, heres a bit about my background in animal rescue. After fostering several griffons in England and hearing about the terrible abuse that Spanish Griffon Dogs go through, I decided to make the move to Galicia, northern Spain. Casa de griffon was set up 5 years ago to save as many dogs as possible from the horrendous abuse that they suffer here. Since arriving Casa de Griffon has taken care of over 500 dogs in all shapes and sizes About Casa de Griffon The Galicians are a large hunting province and their dogs of choice tend to be Griffons, Beagles and Podencos. The pounds are overflowing with several hundred dogs who are locked in concrete cages 24/7 unless they are released to adopters and rescuers. From pregnant old girls to ex hunting dogs who have been beaten and tied to short chains, this is the continual abuse these beautiful dogs have to endure. Just over two years ago, a property was found in northern Galicia and we have been busy building indoor enclosures and secure outdoor exercise areas where the dogs are assessed and rehabilitated so they can be adopted to the forever homes. Since arriving Casa de Griffon has taken care of over 500 dogs in all shapes and sizes Rosie Sara Contact Casa de Griffon Contact Casa de Griffon Contact Casa de Griffon

Nos amis ABOUT MASCOTAS de ZERO (Albatera) - Alicante "We are a company dedicated to the collection, shelter and custody of abandoned animals. We work with various town councils in the area of Murcia and Alicante, to whom we provide our service. We were formerly known as Agrupación Cereco, but we have recently changed our name to MASCOTAS DE ZERO, since over the years we have evolved and adapted to our values and social demand. Our most significant change arose in August 2019, when we relocated all our facilities to Albatera, becoming a single center. Our way of working is with ZERO SACRIFICE, which is why we have decided to include it in our new name. We believe in animal welfare and that is why our objectives are to improve to be able to meet the needs of animals. Our center has a reception area, where we care for pets once they arrive at our center, as well as an operating room where minor surgery and day-to-day tasks are treated. We publish all the animals we pick up, almost in real time, making it easier for owners to check that their pets are at our center and come pick them up. If after 21 days no one has claimed them, we will look for new families for them by putting them up for adoption. AVAILABILITY From 12:00 to 14:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Saturday.

LEISHMANIASIS Seroprevalence : "...the frequency of individuals in a population who have a particular element and especially antibodies to an infectious agent in their blood serum..." Dog collars impregnated with deltamethrin are used to control the infection of reservoir dogs. If caught early and not affecting the main organs, Leishmaniosis can be treated and controlled very effectively and the dog can lead a long and happy life. Leishmaniosis cannot be transmitted from dog to humans Barkinside advises that all dogs in and from Spain should have a blood test annually. Dogs are the main host and main reservoir of Leishmania infantum, a parasite that causes death in symptomatic dogs (canine leishmaniasis), when not treated. This parasite is transmitted through the bite of a sandfly (a small insect related to mosquitoes and flies) in tropical and subtropical countries, but direct transmission between dogs, and from pregnant dogs to their puppies, exists. A dog’s immune response can contain the infection, preventing active disease, for months-to-years; it can take up to 7 years from the point of infection before signs of disease develop. Canine Symptoms commonly include: skin problems (especially around the head and pressure points), enlarged lymph nodes enlarged spleen, eye problems, weight loss, lethargy, reduced appetite, nose bleeds, and vomiting and diarrhoea. There are many common blood test abnormalities seen in Leishmania infection – although none of these are specific for the infection. Canine leishmaniasis is expanding to the Northern Hemisphere, where it was barely known.This is due to climate change and the importation of dogs. Several vaccines have been developed in the last decade, but their efficacy is limited and not guaranteed to be 100% effective, this includes the innoculation available in Spain. Veterinary researchers are still waiting for the ideal drug that can eliminate the parasite from target organs and limit transmission. How it spreads: When female sandflies bite and feed on blood of an infected host, they can acquire the Leishmania parasites. These parasites can then be transmitted to another host by the same sandfly species during a subsequent blood meal. Additionally, Leishmania can be passed from a mother to her child, from a female dog to her puppy, or through the sharing of syringes. In southern European countries, Canine leishmaniasis, (now referred to as "CanL"), seroprevalence reaches high levels. Prevelance in Spain: CanL is widespread in Spain. It can be considered endemic in almost the entire territory. In the southeast section of the country, the seroprevalence was calculated at 23.7%. Hot spots have been found in the Axarquia region (Malaga). Figures are lower in central Spain (1–5%) and in the North, whereas in the Pyrenees and northeastern areas, 19.5% prevalence was found, mainly among the hunting dog population. Low prevalence numbers (0–2.5%) were found in the Canary Islands, although imported cases were not ruled out. This disease is mostly unknown by veterinarians outside the endemic areas. In Humans the parasite manifests in various forms, causing visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in populations in the Mediterranean Basin, North Africa, South America, and West Asia. Cutaneous leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania tropica), causes skin sores which are often self-healing within a few months, but which may leave ugly scars; it occurs worldwide, including the Mediterranean coast. Visceral leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania infantum), causes systemic disease, presenting with fever, malaise, weight loss and anaemia, swelling of the spleen, liver and lymph nodes; most of the cases reported worldwide occur in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan. Risk for people A noteworthy number of leishmaniasis cases in the European Union (EU) come from outside Europe, often due to travel to tropical countries where leishmaniasis is more prevalent. Vaccination and treatment: Currently, there is no available vaccination for this parasite. However, various treatments exist, although over time, the parasite has developed resistance to some of these medications. Protective measures include: using methods like mosquito nets treated with insect repellent, applying insect repellent directly to your skin, managing the presence of insects around your home.
