Passive case detection for canine visceral leishmaniasis control in urban Brazil: Determinants of population uptake

Conclusions/SignificanceTo support timely CVL management, passive case detection along with awareness activities aimed at dog owners should be encouraged in endemic areas. Screening sites should be prioritized in accessible zones, as well as in socio-economically disadvantage areas. In parallel, CVL active case detection should be continued as a surveillance tool to guide control actions.
