Resumo: | Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emergent hemoparasite in regions where ticks are regularly found. In order to investigate the rate of anti-A. phagocytophilum antibody in horses of the Mounted Police of Rio de Janeiro state and therefore the presence of this agent, 41 horses from the Cavalry Squadron (CS) and 50 from the Regiment of Mounted Police (RMP) were selected. For the serologic diagnosis the Indirect Fluorescent Antibody test was performed. In the present work, among 91 equine sera samples anti-A. phagocytophilum antibodies, with titer ? 1:80, were detected in 11 animals (12%), being five (5%) from males and six (7%) females, with no statistical difference. The adult animals with ages varying between five and 14 years presented the highest rate of positive reaction, although antibodies were detected in animals of all ages. We did not observe statistic differences in relation to the presence of anti-A. phagocytophilum antibodies among the animals bred in the CS and RMP. The presence of anti-A.phagocytophilim antibodies in horses of the Mounted Police with no clinical signs is indicative that the parasite is present in the enzootic form among the horses of the urban area. The circulation of the parasite among the animals is not dependent of the presence of tick infestations.Keywords: equine; granulocytic anaplasmosis; hemoparasites; IFA; tick. |

Anaplasma phagocytophilum é uma hemoparasitose emergente em regiões onde existem carrapatos. Com o objetivo de investigar a frequência de anticorpos anti-A. phagocytophilum em cavalos da Policia Montada do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e, consequentemente, os indícios da presença desse agente em áreas urbanas, foram selecionados 41 cavalos do Esquadrão de Cavalaria (EC) e 50 do Regimento de Polícia Montada (RPM). Para o diagnóstico sorológico, foi utilizado o método de Imunofluorescência Indireta. No presente trabalho, dentre 91 amostras de soro de equinos, foram detectados anticorpos anti-A. phagocytophilum com título ? 1:80 em 11 animais (12%), sendo que cinco (5%) eram machos e seis (7%) fêmeas, sem diferenças estatísticas. Os animais adultos com faixa etária entre cinco e 14 anos foram os que apresentaram maior frequência de reação positiva; no entanto, foram detectados anticorpos em animais de todas as faixas etárias. Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas quanto à presença de anticorpos anti-A. phagocytophilum nos animais criados no EC e no RPM. A presença de anticorpos anti-A. phagocytophilum em cavalos da Policia Montada sem sinais clínicos aparentes é indicativo que A. phagocytophilum está presente de forma enzóotica na região urbana e a circulação do parasita entres os animais independe da presença de infestações aparentes de carrapatos nos animais.Palavras-chave: anaplasmose granulocítica; carrapatos; equino; hemoparasitos; RIFI.Universidade Federal de Goiás2015-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa CientificaAvaliado por paresPesquisa Científicaapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/1986510.1590/cab.v16i3.19865Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2015); 377-387Ciência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 16 n. 3 (2015); 377-3871809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/19865/18843https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/19865/18844Rolim, Marcia Fariasde Oliveira, Francisco Carlos RodriguesGraça, Flavio Augusto SoaresBrasil, Fernanda da Costainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-07-31T20:01:58Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/19865Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:55:55.563564Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
