Resumo: | There is a large amount of neurological diseases in cattle. The causes may be physical, inflammatory/infectious, nutritional, metabolic, toxic, degenerative, congenital anomalies or neoplasic. The nervous coccidiosis is one of these diseases, which neuropathy occurs at the same time of enteropathy. The coccidiosis is an intestinal parasitism caused by protozoa of the genus Eimeria. After the infection, a specific immunity, for each coccidia species, is developed, for this reason; the young animals are much more susceptible than the adult animals. In this report, an adult Gir cow was examined at the Large Animals Clinical Service, of the Veterinary Hospital of Uberaba, showing bloody diarrhea and deficit of equilibrium. The coproparasitological exam showed the presence of 300 oocysts per gram of feces. The animal was treated with sulfadoxin (15 mg/kg), associated to trimetoprim (3 mg/kg), and showed fast improvement on the enteric condition and gradual improvement on the neurological condition. Based on the clinical signs, on the laboratorial findings and on the response to the treatment, it may be affirmed that this animal had nervous coccidiosis, although this disease has been described as a trouble only for calves.KEY WORDS: Cattle, Eimeria, nervous coccidiosis. |

NERVOUS COCCIDIOSIS IN ADULT GIR COW – CASE REPORTCOCCIDIOSE NERVOSA EM VACA GIR ADULTA – RELATO DE CASOCoccidiose nervosaSanidadeThere is a large amount of neurological diseases in cattle.

As causas podem ser físicas, inflamatórias/infecciosas, nutricionais, metabólicas, tóxicas, degenerativas, anomalias congênitas ou neoplásicas. Uma dessas afecções é a coccidiose nervosa, assim denominada por causar encefalopatia concomitante com enterite. A coccidiose é uma parasitose intestinal causada por protozoários do gênero Eimeria. Após a infecção, desenvolve-se imunidade espécie-específica para cada espécie de coccídio e, por essa razão, os animais jovens são muito mais susceptíveis à doença do que os animais adultos. Neste relato, uma vaca adulta, da raça Gir, foi atendida pelo Serviço de Clínica de Grandes Animais do Hospital Veterinário de Uberaba apresentando diarreia sanguinolenta e déficit de equilíbrio. O exame coproparasitológico de fezes demonstrou a presença de trezentos oocistos por grama de fezes. O animal foi tratado com sulfadoxina (15 mg/kg), associada à trimetoprima (3 mg/kg), e apresentou rápida melhora do quadro entérico e gradativa melhora do quadro neurológico. Com base nos sinais clínicos, nos achados laboratoriais e na resposta ao tratamento, pode-se afirmar que o animal em questão apresentava coccidiose nervosa, embora tal doença tenha sido descrita como importante apenas para bezerros.PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Bovino, coccidiose nervosa, Eimeria.Universidade Federal de Goiás2009-04-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresRelato de casoapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/114510.5216/cab.v10i1.1145Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2009); 322-329Ciência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 10 n. 1 (2009); 322-3291809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/1145/4601Sampaio, Renato LinharesLacerda, Moacir SantosAlvarenga, Rodrigo RodriguesEspinoza, Márcio Freitasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2009-04-03T19:01:19Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/1145Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:54:49.828220Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
