Resumo: The aim of the present study was to estimate the occurrence of Ehrlichia canis in cats from the semiarid region of Northeast of Brazil. Sera of 101 healthy cats were submitted by Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA), and considered positive when antibody titers ? 40 were obtained. Seroprevalence of 35.6% (36/101) was found, with the following titers: 40 (15 animals); 160 (6); 320 (1); 640 (3), and 2,560 (11). No statistical differences were observed when comparing county of origin, gender, age, breed, and modus vivendi (pet and stray cats), and no ticks were observed in any of the cats. This study revealed exposure to E. canis in cats of the Semiarid Northeast of Brazil.Keywords: Caatinga; ehrlichiosis; feline; hemoparasite; semiarid.

Soros de 101 gatos saudáveis foram submetidos à Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI), sendo considerados positivos títulos ? 40.  Soroprevalência de 35,6% (36/101) foi encontrada, com os seguintes títulos: 40 (15 animais); 160 (6); 320 (1); 640 (3) e 2560 (11). Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas quanto ao município de origem, gênero, faixa etária, raça e modus vivendi (gatos domiciliados e errantes) e não foram observados carrapatos em qualquer um dos animais testados. Este estudo revelou exposição de gatos a E. canis na região semiárida do nordeste brasileiro.Palavras-chave: Caatinga; erliquiose; felinos; hemoparasita; semiárido.Universidade Federal de Goiás2016-07-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionResearchAvaliado por paresPesquisa Científicaapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/3384510.1590/cab17333845Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 17 No. 3 (2016); 418-424Ciência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 17 n. 3 (2016); 418-4241809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGenghttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/33845/21387https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/33845/21388Fontalvo, Mariana CamposBraga, Isis AssisAguiar, Daniel MouraHorta, Mauricio Claudioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-07-29T21:20:08Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/33845Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2016-07-29T21:20:08Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
