Zoonotic Visceral Leishmaniasis (ZVL) is one of the world’s deadliest and neglected infectious diseases, according to World Health Organization.

This disease is one of major human and veterinary medical significance.

The sandfly and the reservoir in urban areas remain among the major challenges for the control activities.

In this paper, we evaluated five control strategies (positive dog elimination, insecticide impregnated dog collar, dog vaccination, dog treatment, and sandfly population control), considering disease control results and cost-effectiveness.

We elaborated a mathematical model based on a set of differential equations in which three populations were represented (human, dog, and sandfly).

Humans and dogs were divided into susceptible, latent, clinically ill, and recovery categories.

Sandflies were divided into noninfected, infected, and infective.

As the main conclusions, the insecticide impregnated dog collar was the strategy that presented the best combination between disease control and cost-effectiveness.

But, depending on the population target, the control results and cost-effectiveness of each strategy may differ.

More and detailed studies are needed, specially one which optimizes the control considering more than one strategy in activity.
