In the meeting of March 2nd 2012 in Rome the detailed activity of 2012 was organized.
In the occasion, the CLWG confirmed that are still lacking evidence of the efficacy of domperidone in canine leishmaniosis due to a reduced number of papers to support the action of this drug. In addition, the CLWG stated the same questioning for the action of the vaccine that will be launched in the Italian market from Virbac (CaniLeish®). The CLWG regret that the scientific documentation supporting the vaccine introduction was available only after the product was already disclosed to the common media directed to the consumers besides dog’s owner.

A price of 1,000 euros for the best oral communication presented during the Canine Leishmaniosis session inside the annual congress of SCIVAC in Rimini from next 8-10 June will be awarded.
