Until Posadas had not been registered so far in 2010, cases of leishmaniasis in humans.
Visceral leishmaniasis affects the liver, spleen, lymph nodes and other organs. The clinical signs are fever of long duration, anemia, weight loss and progressive weakness.
From the Epidemiological Surveillance Area, under the Secretary of Health, recalled that one of the main recommendations is to maintain permanent clean and vacant land, avoiding the accumulation of leaves, because unlike the vector that transmits dengue and yellow fever, "the cockroach-? lays eggs in decaying organic substances and in that sense there is a special form of search for larvae."
In the case of pets, they must be protected with mosquito repellent pipette to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes and on the other hand, treat that dogs are not wandering in the street. "Dogs are the main reservoir of visceral leishmaniasis, which is why we have to be responsible about their tenure."
Therefore, from the health portfolio urged the population to extreme precautions in caring for the dogs to reduce the risk of transmission of disease.
The main preventive measures are:
? Eliminate the presence of mosquitoes in the house (using insect repellents, pills, insecticides, mosquito nets or screens placed in openings).
? Destroy all possible breeding ground for the larvae. Eradication stubble and weeds from around dwellings, locating and disposing of empty containers or containers lifecycle spray.
? Use long-sleeved shirts and pants in the case of transit through areas with mosquitoes
? Cleanse spoon or areas inhabited by dogs and avoid being bitten by insects.
Moreover, the health portfolio reminds people to attend the Primary Care Centre (CAPS) or the nearest hospital in the presence of the following symptoms:
? Prolonged fever
? Loss of desire
? Weight Loss
? Enlarged organs
At the same time suggested that pet owners go to the vet and be wary of the following signs: Hair loss, especially around the eyes and ears, fatigue and inactivity, thinning, flaky seborrhea and Growth of the hoof.
