Resumo: Visceral leishmaniasis is among the most neglected diseases in the world and especially affects poor populations of some developing or underdeveloped countries, with human disease being a factor in the occurrence of thousands of deaths every year. Visceral leishmaniasis affect domestic dogs, main reservoirs of the Leishmania parasite in urban environments. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis in two non-endemic municipalities located in southern Santa Catarina, as well as to identify the main risk factors for infection in dogs. A cross-sectional study was carried out with dogs living in two Zoonoses Control Centers located in the cities of Tubarão and Criciúma. Blood samples were collected and analyzed by real-time PCR for detection of Leishmania infection. Clinical examination and evaluation of the characteristics of the canine population were also carried out. A total of 107 dogs were evaluated, of which 19% were positive for Leishmania, and 85% of the positive cases were asymptomatic. In conclusion, we highlight the detection of cases of canine visceral leishmaniasis in two cities that had not yet reported cases. The high rate of positive asymptomatic animals suggests the maintenance of the parasite in the environment.

La leishmaniasis visceral afecta a los perros domésticos, principales reservorios del parásito Leishmania en entornos urbanos. Así, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la prevalencia de leishmaniasis visceral canina en dos municipios no endémicos ubicados en el sur de Santa Catarina, así como identificar los principales factores de riesgo de infección en perros. Se realizó un estudio transversal con perros que viven en dos Centros de Control de Zoonosis ubicados en las ciudades de Tubarão y Criciúma. Se recolectaron y analizaron muestras de sangre mediante PCR en tiempo real para la detección de la infección por Leishmania. También se realizó examen clínico y evaluación de las características de la población canina. Se evaluaron un total de 107 perros, de los cuales el 19% fueron positivos para Leishmania y el 85% de los casos positivos fueron asintomáticos. En conclusión, destacamos la detección de casos de leishmaniasis visceral canina en dos ciudades que aún no habían reportado casos.

Foi realizado um estudo transversal com cães habitantes de dois Centros de Controle de Zoonoses localizados nas cidades de Tubarão e Criciúma. Amostras sanguíneas foram coletadas e analisadas por PCR em tempo real para detecção de infecção por Leishmania. Também foi realizado exame clínico e avaliação das características da população canina. Um total de 107 cães foram avaliados, destes, 19% foram positivos para Leishmania, sendo 85% dos casos positivos, assintomáticos. Em conclusão, destacamos a detecção de casos de leishmaniose visceral canina em duas cidades que ainda não haviam relatado casos. O alto índice de animais assintomáticos positivos sugere a manutenção do parasito no meio ambiente.Research, Society and Development2021-12-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2432610.33448/rsd-v10i17.24326Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 17; e167101724326Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 17; e167101724326Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 17; e1671017243262525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/24326/21460Copyright (c) 2021 Diego Soares Leote; Dayane Borba da Silva; Paula Fassicolo Variza; Joice Guilherme de Oliveira; Cyntia Michielin Lopes; Wellington Junior da Silva; Tarcísio de Freitas Milagres; Maria Lúcia Rossetti; Fernanda dos Santos Rolim; Onilda Santos da Silva; Millena Fernandes; Josiane Somariva Prophirohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLeote, Diego Soares Silva, Dayane Borba da Variza, Paula Fassicolo Oliveira, Joice Guilherme de Lopes, Cyntia Michielin Silva, Wellington Junior da Milagres, Tarcísio de Freitas Rossetti, Maria Lúcia Rolim, Fernanda dos Santos Silva, Onilda Santos da Fernandes, MillenaProphiro, Josiane Somariva 2022-01-01T11:11:08Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/24326Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:55.262247Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
