Why use Speed Duo Leish/Ehrli?

Canine Leishmaniose is due to the proliferation in the macrophages of Leishmania infantum. The clinical phase of the disease is associated to an asymptomatique carrier state of several months to years (1 ). The disease is transmitted by mosquitos: the phlébotome.

Canine Ehrlichiose is due to the infection of the animal’s monocytes by a bacteria: Ehrlichia canis. After an acute stage, most often discreet, illness evolves towards a long subclinique stage of several months. The vector of Ehrlichia is a tick: Rhipicephalus sanguineus.
