Movement of Animals
• From 2001, pet animals have been allowed to travel throughout the EU as long as they had a pet passport
![Page 3: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1st January 2012
• Individual country derogations reviewed / removed:– NO requirement for rabies titre (blood) test to
enter UK, Ireland, Malta, Sweden– 6 month wait prior to (re-)entry reduced to 3
weeks– Tapeworm treatment window extended to 24-
120 hours– NO requirement for tick treatment
![Page 4: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Movement of Pets: The Future
• 998/2003 – Movement of animals before 3 months of age– Derogation from anti-rabies vaccination– Participating in competitions, exhibiting,
sporting or recreational events or in training for these events
![Page 5: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
…..so is this a problem?

Rabies: The Disease
• Very variable, sometimes death can be acute and few signs seen– Change of demeanour and behaviour– Restless, confused, disoriented– Altered vocalisation – Incoordination, paralysis, salivation, ‘bone in
throat’ syndrome– Aggression, biting, hypersexuality– ‘Fly-snapping’, pica
![Page 12: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rabies in Humans
• Localised pain or paraesthesia
• Change in behaviour, anxiety, fear, aggression
• Aerophobia• Hydrophobia• Paralysis, coma, death
![Page 13: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

What about rabies vaccination?
![Page 15: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Factors Affecting Vaccine Failure
• Vet Record (2004) 154, 423-426– Factors affecting the serological response of
dogs and cats to rabies vaccination (Mansfield, Burr et al)
• BSAVA Proceedings 2005 (Abstract)– Do dogs vary in their response to Rabies
vaccination (Kennedy et al)
![Page 16: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Factors Affecting Failure
1. Brand
2. Number of doses used
3. Age
4. Timing of sampling
5. Breed
![Page 17: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Number of Doses Used
• Dogs: Using a primary course of 2 doses will increase the mean titre achieved
• Cats: No significant increase in titre after 2 doses
• D/S recommends 2 doses in young, naïve individuals
![Page 19: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Age
• Adults significantly more likely to pass than old or young
• Kennedy: 10400 dogs;– <1yr, 1-7yrs, >7yrs– Adults>old>young
• ?Take into account when electing number of doses to use
![Page 20: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Effect of Interval Between Vaccination and Sampling
Compared to 30-59 day interval, significant (p<0.05) increase in titre for 0-29 days, and highly significant (p<0.01) decreases in titre for longer time intervals.

Breed
• Larger breeds appear to have lower response to vaccination than small breeds– Burr, personal
communication– Kennedy:
Rottweilers
Greyhounds
![Page 22: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Study: Main Conclusions
• Dogs <6months old had significantly lower titres
• Ability to respond may decline with age
• Timing of sampling and number of doses had most significant impact of titres
![Page 23: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Risk of Rabies
• Number of cases across EU has declined• No guarantee of the response to
vaccination• Increased potential for incubating animals
to cross borders• Number of animals travelling (legally) has
increased• Increase in illegal movements
![Page 24: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rabies Control
“To solve the problem of rabies would be a blessing for humanity” (Louis Pasteur)
![Page 25: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Echinococcus multilocularis
![Page 26: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Echinococcus multilocularis
![Page 28: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Risk of Echinococcus granulosus
• Praziquantal will only kill tapeworms present at the time
• Increasing the treatment window up to 5 days increases the chances of re-infection prior to travel
• Sweden has already lost its derogation due to Echinococcus granulous being detected
![Page 29: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Limitations of PETS
• PETS is in place to protect human health• Animal health is not a primary
consideration• No vaccine is 100% effective• Complying with PETS will not ensure a
pet remains healthy if it travels to another country
![Page 30: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Diseases associated with Travelling Pets
• Leishmania (Sandfly)• Babesia (Tick)• Ehrlichia (Tick)• Dirofilaria (Mosquito)
![Page 31: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

1. Leishmania
![Page 35: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Leishmania• Protozoon• Up to 40% of dogs in endemic
areas• 12 million people in 88
countries• Transmitted by sandflies
![Page 36: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Where is it found?
![Page 37: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Leishmania infection
• Highly immune dogs clear infection (20-40%)• Some breeds (eg Ibizan hounds) appear to
have higher resistance• Once infection is established, it cannot be
cured
![Page 39: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Clinical infection
• Very variable!• Vague illness• May be a long gap between being
infected and becoming ill
![Page 40: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Skin signs of infection
![Page 42: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Testing – what are we looking for?
AntibodyDog has fought infection
Body’s response to diseaseIncludes Speed Leish K
Leishmania itselfIncludes looking at blood/ bone marrow under microscope and PCR test
![Page 43: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
When to test
• Easier to diagnose when dogs are ill – Both antibody and parasite levels are higher
• If available, use PCR tests – most sensitive
![Page 44: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Treatment• Generally remission NOT
cure• Allopurinol (Zyloric)• Meglumine antimonate
(Glucantime)• Amphotericin B (Fungizone)• Treatment can be toxic,
especially when combined with damage from leishmania
![Page 45: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Preventing leishmania
• Insect repellent (eg Scalibor collar)• Keep inside between dusk and dawn
![Page 46: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Leishmania vaccine
• Must test first• 3 injections, 3 weeks
apart• Dogs over 6 months
![Page 47: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Babesia
• Like leishmania, a protozoon• Lives inside the red blood
cells• AKA piroplasmosis
![Page 49: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Signs of babesia
• Anaemia• Bleeding problems• Red urine• Sudden collapse
![Page 50: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Treatment of babesia
• Drugs similar to leishmania- Imidocarb- Iminazine- Atovaquone- Azithromycin
![Page 51: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

• Bacteria• Live inside white blood cells
(macrophages)
Ehrichia
![Page 53: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Signs of ehrlichia
• Acute (8-20 days after infection)– Vague depression, fever, weight loss, poor
appetite– Enlarged lymph nodes, nosebleeds, bleeding
into skin
• If diagnosed and treated in acute phase, often recover
• Otherwise progress to chronic infection
![Page 54: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Chronic ehrlichia infection
• As for acute, but more severe– Emaciation– Swelling of hindlegs and scrotum– Pale gums– Eye problems– Neurological problems
![Page 55: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Treatment of ehrlichia
• Doxycycline for at least 2-3 weeks• May relapse• Infection with both ehrlichia and babesia
may occur
![Page 56: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Prevention of babesia and ehrlichia
• Good parasite control• Scalibor, Frontline, Advantix
Babesia only:-• Vaccine (does not completely prevent
infection)
![Page 57: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Heartworm (dirofilaria immitis)
• A type of roundworm• Spread by mosquitos• Worms lodge in the
arteries of the lungs• Dogs and cats
![Page 59: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Signs of infection
• Depends on how bad the infection is• May be sudden onset but more often
gradual• Coughing• Trouble breathing• Unable to exercise• Weight loss• Fainting• Sudden death
![Page 60: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Treatment of heartworm
• Regular worming (not all wormers!)
• Macrolides – Ivermectin, Moxidectin,
Selamectin)
• Reactions can occur on worming
• Surgical removal of worms from heart
![Page 61: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Should we worry?
• Animal health and welfare• Owner awareness• Vet awareness • Treatment availability• Stress and expense for new owner
![Page 63: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Conclusions
• Travelling diseases a serious problem• May be different in non endemic country eg UK• Export of infection best avoided where possible• Test before import (and 6 months after if leish
endemic)

Further Considerations
• What infectious diseases are prevelent across Europe?– CPV / CDV / CAV– Leptospirosis– FPL / FeLV / Cat ‘flu
• What about further afield?– WSAVA guidelines
![Page 71: ICAWC 2012 : Paula Boyden Companion Animals in the EU](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554c95a0b4c905c10d8b4a05/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Further Considerations
• What infectious diseases are prevalent in the country of origin?
• Are there appropriate tests available?
• Are these diseases endemic in the destination country?– Naïve population– Should we risk introducing the disease into this?

Further Considerations?
• What infectious diseases are prevalent in the destination country?
• Is there a vaccine available?
• Vaccinate before travel?

• Test for diseases prevalent in the country of origin but absent at destination
• Prevention against diseases prevalent in the destination country
