Editor’s summary
Canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a major global zoonosis. This publication includes the LeishVet’s group current consensus recommendations for standardized and rational approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, control and prevention of canine leishmaniosis. These graphically displayed recommendations summarize recent evidence-based literature combined with extensive clinical experience. Image: Cutaneous lesions including exfoliative periocular alopecia in a dog with clinical leishmaniosis.

Editor’s summary
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels suffering syringomyelia show abnormal narrowing of the jugular foramina, which may cause the cerebrospinal fluid pressure waves linked to this condition and explain the high prevalence of syringomyelia in this breed.
