Treatment & Control
Antibiotics like penicillin and tetracyclines are effective.
Response is immediate, but treat for a minimum of 2 weeks.
Some times, man and animals may remain infective even
after treatment. Symptomatic treatment is also done to
improve the clinical conditions. Response to analgesics
should not be confused with response to antibiotics. Cure
is almost always possible since it is amenable to common
antibiotics.

Tick control
Ticks can be controlled by effective ectoparasiticides,
tick collars etc. Tick control programme should include
suitable application in the kennel, beddings and the
usual resting places.

Vaccination
Vaccination is also recommended in endemic areas.
Sometimes, vaccination failure may be due to the fact
that the animal was already infected and the incubation
period is often prolonged. Two doses of either type of
vaccine, SC at 9 week or older and repeat at 3 weeks
interval. Annual revaccination is recommended.
