How Effective Are the Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis Vaccines Currently Being Tested in Dogs? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a zoonotic disease of great worldwide importance and can be prevented by vaccinating seronegative dogs. The objective of the present systematic review and meta‐analysis is to verify the efficacy rate of vaccines tested in dogs against CVL or L. infantum infection. We used PRISMA guidelines for this review
