This pioneering event promoted the creation of a viable model of action for developing countries. It prioritizes humane and preventive Rabies and Visceral Leishmaniasis control programs, and enables animal control professionals to perform the required actions.

The training program consisted of 4 work groups:

4. Leishmaniasis

Some of the participants were: Dr. Albino Belotto (PAHO/Washington), Dr. Dennis Turner, PhD (International Association for Human Animal Interactions Organizations) and Ms. Joy Lenney (World Society for the Protection of Animals).
