Resumo: | Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) are important etiologic agents of immunosuppressive diseases in felines. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of these retroviruses in domestic cats in Fortaleza, Ceará and the epidemiological factors associated with these infections. Between 2015 and 2016, 138 blood samples were collected and tested for FIV and FeLV by the enzyme immunoadsorption assay (ELISA). Parameters such as breed, gender, age, reproductive status, multi-cat environment, outdoor access and clinical manifestations were evaluated. The results showed that 12.32% were positive for FIV, 5.80% for FeLV and 1.45% for co-infection (FIV/FeLV). FIV+ animals were mostly mixed breed, neutered male adult cats, with indoor lifestyle and living in a multi-cat household. The most common clinical manifestation observed was disorders of the oral cavity. Factors found to increase the risk for FeLV seropositivity include mixed breed, young, spayed female cats, indoor lifestyle living in a multi-cat household were the most common epidemiological factors observed. The most common clinical manifestation was anorexia and apathy. The prevalence of these viruses were relatively high, compared with other region of Brazil. This study demonstrated that mixed breed, castrated, multi-cat environment and indoor lifestyle animals are of greater relevance for FIV and FeLV infection diseases. Factors related to cat demographics and health such as age, sex and type of household are important predictors for seropositive status to FeLV or FIV in Fortaleza. High prevalence of FeLV or FIV observed in our study is of concern, in view of the immunosuppressive potential of the two pathogens. |

O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a prevalência desses retrovírus em gatos domésticos em Fortaleza, Ceará e os fatores epidemiológicos associados a essas infecções. Entre 2015 e 2016, foram coletadas 138 amostras de sangue e testadas para FIV e FeLV pelo ensaio de imunoadsorção enzimática (ELISA). Parâmetros como raça, gênero, idade, estado reprodutivo, ambiente com vários gatos, acesso ao ar livre e manifestações clínicas foram avaliados. Os resultados mostraram que 12,32% foram positivos para o FIV, 5,80% para o FeLV e 1,45% para a co-infecção (FIV/FeLV). Os animais FIV+ eram na sua maioria gatos machos castrados, adultos, de raça mista, com estilo de vida dentro de casa e vivendo em um ambiente com vários gatos. A manifestação clínica mais comum observada foi distúrbios da cavidade oral. Os fatores encontrados que aumentam o risco de soropositividade para FeLV incluem gatas fêmeas castradas, jovens, de raça mista, com estilo de vida dentro de casa e vivendo em um ambiente com vários gatos, foram os fatores epidemiológicos mais comuns observados. A manifestação clínica mais comum foi anorexia e apatia. A prevalência desses vírus foi relativamente alta em comparação com outras regiões do Brasil. Este estudo demonstrou que os animais de raça mista, castrados, vivendo em um ambiente com vários gatos e estilo de vida dentro de casa são de maior relevância para as doenças infecciosas por FIV e FeLV. Fatores relacionados à demografia e à saúde do gato, como idade, sexo e tipo de domicílio, são importantes preditores do estado soropositivo para FeLV ou FIV em Fortaleza. A alta prevalência de FeLV ou FIV observada em nosso estudo é preocupante, tendo em vista o potencial imunossupressor dos dois patógenos.Universidade de São Paulo.
