Resumo: Haemobartonella felis is an obligate parasite of erytrocytes that infects cats. These Gram-negative organisms can appear in the form of a coccus or bacillus, and their transmission to the vertebrate host occurs throught the bite of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. This study aimed to determine the presence of H. felis in stray cats in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Blood smears were obtained from the ear tips of 50 cast (31 males and 19 females) stained by Giemsa and examined under the light microscope at 100x magnification. From 50 blood smears, 15 (30%) were positive for Haemobartonella sp, representing 11 male and 4 female cats. Other hemoparasitoses were not found in these samples. The high indidence of Haemobartonella sp verified in this study may be due to the habit of rambling os these animals, thus enhancing the risk of infestation by ticks.

Estes organismos, gram negativos, podem apresentar-se na forma de cocos ou de bacilos. A transmissão ocorre pela picada do carrapato Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Procurou-se determinar a presença da H. felis em gatos errantes no município de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. Foram coletados em 50 gatos não domiciliados, sendo 31 machos e 19 fêmeas, esfregaços sanguíneos de ponta de orelha corados pelo Giemsa, e realizada a leitura em microscópio óptico na objetiva 100x. Observou-se que 15 esfregaços sanguíneos apresentaram diagnósticos positivos para Haemobartonella sp, representando 340% dos animais, destes 11 machos e 4 fêmeas. Nenhuma outra hemoparasitose foi evidenciada nesta pesquisa. A alta incidência observada deve-se ao hábito de perambular destes animais o que aumenta o risco de infestação por carrapatos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2002-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/21632Biotemas; v. 15 n. 2 (2002); 79-842175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/21632/19633Copyright (c) 2002 Vanessa Martins Fayad Milken, Dagmar Diniz Cabral, Roberta Torres Gonçalves Santos, Scheila Pedrosa Franco Barbosahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMilken, Vanessa Martins FayadCabral, Dagmar DinizSantos, Roberta Torres GonçalvesBarbosa, Scheila Pedrosa Franco2022-11-21T11:04:45Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/21632Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2022-11-21T11:04:45Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
