3410. Leishmaniosis - zoonosis - notifiable disease

Leishmaniosis

Leishmaniosis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by the Leishmania spp. parasite.
Transmission to animals including dogs and humans is primarily through the bite of infected sandflies.

Direct dog-to-human transmission has never been reported worldwide. The disease is most prevalent
in tropical and sub-tropical regions, mainly in Africa, parts of Asia, the Middle East, Latin America
and the Mediterranean region.

2 Clinical signs in dogs are variable and can mimic other illness. Some of the signs and
symptoms may include skin lesions, weight loss and organ failure. Infected dogs may not always
show signs. The incubation period in dogs can range from months to years. Chemotherapeutics are
available for the treatment of this disease.

Treatment for leishmaniosis can improve the condition of
the dog, but it may not eliminate the parasite. In such cases, an infected dog may remain a carrier of
Leishmania species.

Advice on protecting animals from leishmaniosis
3 To reduce the chance of being bitten by sandflies, owners and carers can apply topical insect
repellent on their dogs or use collars that are impregnated with insect repellents (e.g. deltamethrin)
against sandflies. It is also advisable to avoid visiting areas where there are sandflies during dawn
and dusk and practice good personal hygiene such as washing of hands when caring for their dogs.

Advice on the handling of Leishmania cases in animals
4 Due to the fact that infected and previously infected animals remain a potential risk to public
health and the health of animals, we would like to advise on the measures to take to minimise the
risk of transmission of Leishmania for any suspect or infected animals:

a. Housed in a vector-protected area to avoid contact with other dogs and sandflies, where
possible;
b. Measures should be taken to avoid being bitten by flies; e.g. avoid going out at dawn and
dusk or apply an insect repellent collar or spray;
c. NParks/AVS should be informed if other dogs are to be kept on the same premises;
d. Bodily waste should be properly disposed of;
e. People coming into contact with these animals should practise good personal hygiene, such
as washing their hands after interaction;

f. Immuno-compromised individuals should avoid contact with these animals;
g. Undergo maintenance treatment for leishmaniosis;
h. NParks/AVS must be informed whenever there is a change in the health status related to
leishmaniosis;
i. Any new attending veterinarians should be informed of the animal’s history of leishmaniosis;
j. These animals must not be used as a blood donor and breeding of the animal should be
avoided.

3408. Histology report for tumours

After tumour removal, we send the tumour for histology. The cost is from $350 to $400.
With histology, we know whether the tumour is cancerous or not.

For example, this 7-year-old male Golden Retriever has a gigantic elbow tumour. At first, the owner thought it was the common elbow hygroma as displayed during internet research.  Hygromas are not cancerous. This case is a poorly differentiated sarcoma. There is recurrence after surgical removal.

3407. Governor's House. Pyin Oo Lwin in 2020

9 Sep 2020. 

MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT THE GOVERNOR'S HOUSE

I am Dr Sing Kong Yuen, veterinary surgeon from Singapore, Toa Payoh Vets, www.toapayohvets.com.

I enjoyed my stay in the Governor's House-the biggest room sometime in 2006-2008. I was probably the only foreigner. I stayed in the Governor's room. The ambience was excellent and the service was excellent. The managing director was a nice man in his late 70s. He gave me some history of this place. He was a retiree helping out the founder of this resort. It is 2020 now and a decade has passed. Now you have beautiful surroundings.

FOR IMPROVEMENT TO YOUR SALES 

I notice that your presentation is more of the same "luxury" resort facilities. While they are important, they are also present in other luxury resorts. Your unique selling proposition is the HISTORY of the British colonial era - the various governors. You have a plaque inside your hotel with the names of the British Governors. Is there really a museum?

I am making a video about the Governor's House. Will it be possible for you to allow me to use the images in this webpage and provide me more information of your museum and the horse and carriage tours? This video will help to inform guests who may have high expectations of this resort understand better. The high expectations from a Singaporean guest and others are recorded in the google reviews.  

Thank you very much.  

Dr Sing Kong Yuen.

Marvelous find in Pyin oo Lwin - a building which transports you directly into the Downton Abbey era... I did not stay at this place, just paid 2 USD to explore the old heritage building... Whilst the "exhibition" certainly could need a sprucing up, the building in itself more than merits a visit...
