Content expansion

    • diagnosis section needs to be finished with something about false+ and interaction with Lepto vaccine ft. dodge brand specific - I added the false+ one source is the New Zealand BioSecurity Dept. the fact is mentioned all over the vet field but I cant seem to find the original research to cite it properly

Lisa - how did you want to include discussion of other vector species - for example the Kangaroo, now a known candidate for Leshmaniasis - separate article or subheading...do we need an article rename to indicate that while canine leshmaniasis is the most well understood, dogs are not the only important carrier/vector/host.benjicharlton (talk) 07:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
