Resumo: | This communication aimed to determine the frequency of infection by T. gondii and other gastrointestinal parasites in free-living cats captured in BioParque do Rio (Fundação RioZoo), Brazil. To this end, 58 blood and 51 fecal samples were collected from 68 cats from July 2019 to September 2020. The serum obtained was analyzed by indirect fluorescent antibody test for anti-T. gondii IgG. Fecal samples were examined by microscopic parasitological techniques. Of the total, 10.3% of the animals presented anti-T. gondii IgG. Parasitic structures were observed in 39.2% of the fecal samples. Hookworms were the most detected parasites (19.6%) followed by Cystoisospora sp. (11.7%), Dipylidium caninum (7.8%) and Toxocara cati (3.9%). These results indicated the exposure of this population of stray cats to potentially zoonotic parasites, which in addition to causing possible damage to domestic and wild animal health, also pose risks to public health. |

Para isso, foram coletadas 58 amostras de sangue e 51 amostras fecais de 68 gatos capturados entre julho de 2019 e setembro de 2020. O soro obtido foi submetido à reação de imunofluorescência indireta para IgG anti-T. gondii. As amostras fecais foram submetidas a técnicas parasitológicas microscópicas. Do total, 10,3% dos animais apresentaram IgG anti-T. gondii. Estruturas parasitárias foram observadas em 39,2% das amostras fecais. Os ancilostomídeos foram os parasitas mais detectados (19,6%), seguidos por Cystoisospora sp. (11,7%), Dipylidium caninum (7,8%) e Toxocara cati (3,9%). Esses resultados indicaram a exposição dessa população de gatos de rua a parasitas potencialmente zoonóticos, que, além de causar possíveis danos à saúde dos animais domésticos e selvagens, também representam riscos à saúde pública.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2023-12-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/131610.29374/2527-2179.bjvm006023Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 45 (2023); e006023Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 45 (2023); e0060232527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1316/1369https://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1316/1378Copyright (c) 2023 Igor Falco Arruda, Raissa Cristina Ferreira Ramos, Alynne da Silva Barbosa, Ginette Villar-Echarte, Anderson Mendes Augusto, Fernando Troccoli, Maria Regina Reis Amendoeirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArruda, Igor FalcoRamos, Raissa Cristina FerreiraBarbosa, Alynne da SilvaVillar-Echarte, GinetteAugusto, Anderson MendesTroccoli, FernandoAmendoeira, Maria Regina Reis2024-01-02T16:15:16Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1316Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2024-01-02T16:15:16Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false |
