Resumo: The coexistence between humans and dogs favors zoonosis dissemination. Among them, leptospirosis stands out in Brazil. This work aimed to evaluate dog tutors/owners"™ knowledge about this disease. It also aimed to indirectly assess whether veterinarian sinstruct tutors/owners about prophylaxis and control of this zoonosis, as well as raise a discussion about the role of veterinarians as professional educators in their realm. A questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of tutors/owners. A total of 98% interviewees said that leptospirosis represents a risk to humans and 51% believed it can lead to death. There was incorrect and confusing information about this subject. The assessment on the knowledge about transmission routes and animal species involved, showed only a connection with rats. The possibility of contracting this disease from dogs was unknown to 72% of interviewees. The data set showed the need for a reflection on the role of veterinarians in health education of the dog tutor/owner population.

Dentre elas, a leptospirose destaca-se no Brasil. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento de tutores de cães sobre a doença, e indiretamente, avaliar se o médico veterinário informa aos tutores a profilaxia e controle desta zoonose e provocar, no meio médico veterinário, a discussão sobre o papel educador deste profissional. Para avaliar o conhecimento dos entrevistados utilizou-se um questionário. O total de 98% afirmou que ela representa risco ao homem e 51% acreditam que pode levar ao óbito. Apesar disto, muitas são as informações incorretas e confusas sobre o tema. Avaliando o conhecimento sobre as vias de transmissão e animais envolvidos, ocorre uma vinculação, somente, ao rato. Dos entrevistados, 72% desconheciam a possibilidade de contraí­rem a doença a partir do cão. Os dados apresentados suscitam a reflexão em relação ao papel do médico veterinário na educação sanitária da população.Atas de Saúde Ambiental - ASA (ISSN 2357-7614)2016-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.fmu.br/index.php/ASA/article/view/1475Atas de Saúde Ambiental - ASA (ISSN 2357-7614); v. 4 n. 1 (2016); 82-892357-7614reponame:Atas de Saúde Ambientalinstname:Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas (FMU)instacron:FMUporhttps://revistaseletronicas.fmu.br/index.php/ASA/article/view/1475/1151Copyright (c) 2018 Tadeu Campioni Morone Cardoso, Paula Andrea de Santis Bastosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCardoso, Tadeu Campioni MoroneBastos, Paula Andrea de Santis2018-11-08T15:01:32Zoai:ojs.fmu.br:article/1475Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.fmu.br/index.php/ASA/indexPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.fmu.br/index.php/ASA/oai||asa.revista@gmail.com2357-76142357-7614opendoar:2018-11-08T15:01:32Atas de Saúde Ambiental - Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas (FMU)false
