Premunition, A Possible Limitation in the Prevention of the Leishmaniases by Vaccination

  • Chapter
Leishmaniasis

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 171))

  • 35 Accesses

Abstract

The development of an effective vaccine against smallpox led to its rapid eradication. This success has led to increased optimism regarding the prevention of other infectious diseases, including leishmaniases. However, the prospect of achieving a similar success in the case of the leishmaniases, where sandfly vectors and, in many cases, animal reservoirs are involved, is nigh impossible. However, vaccination in conjunction with control of sandfly vectors and reservoir animals could lead to a substantial reduction in the occurrence of cases. In the advent of a vaccine against Indian visceral leishmaniasis, which is considered to be anthroponotic, successful control, even if not total eradication, should be possible, if an effective vector control programme is carried out simultaneously.
