Resumo: | Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL) is a chronic zoonosis whose etiologic agent is Leishmania chagasi transmitted by Lutzomyia insects. It is a systemic disease affecting lymphoid organs (bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes) distributed throughout the body. The spread of the disease is closely related to the ways in which health professionals approach it. However, it is very important that they have full knowledge and mastery over the disease. Therefore, the objective of this work is to evaluate the knowledge about CVL of veterinarians working in Mineiros/GO city and what has been done by them to face real cases of the disease. Ten interviews were carried out through semi-structured questionnaires containing 12 questions. All respondents knew the CVL, and related the form of transmission through the straw mosquito. When asked about animals that could be infected, 60% answered dogs and cats and 40% only dogs. Only one respondent presented a complete answer about the symptoms of the affected animals. There was a high level of knowledge in relation to diagnosis and treatment. Regarding preventive methods, 33.3% related the use of repellent collar, 22.22% local hygiene, 27.8% animal vaccination, 5.55% repellents, 5.55% avoiding insect bites and finally, 5. 55% included euthanizing the infected dog. However, 90% of professionals recommend vaccination. It is concluded that the professionals working in Mineiros/GO have high knowledge about this disease, mainly regarding the transmission mode, diagnoses and preventive measures. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the symptoms presented by infected dogs. |

Es uma enfermidad sistémica que afecta a los órganos linfoides (medula ósea, bazo y ganglios linfáticos). La propagación de la enfermidad está estrechamente relacionada con las formas de abordarla a través de los profesionales de la salud. Sin embargo, es muy importante que estos profesionales tengan conocimiento y dominio sobre la enfermidad. Entonces, el objetivo de este trabalho fue evaluar el conocimiento de los medicos veterinarios que trabajan em la ciudad de Mineiros/GO sobre la LVC e lo que se ha hecho para lidiar com casos confirmados de la enfermidad. Se realizaron 10 entrevistas a través cuestionarios semi estructurados que contenían 12 preguntas. Todos los entrevistados demonstraron conocimiento sobre la LVC, y relacionan la forma de transmisión a traves del “mosquito palha”. Cuando se le preguntaran sobre animales que poderían se infectar, 60% respondieron perros y gatos, y 40% solo perros. Solo uno encuestado respondió correctamente sobre los síntomas de los animales afectados. Se observo um alto nível de conocimiento em relación com el diagnostico y el tratamiento. Cuanto a los métodos preventivos, 33,3% se relaciono com el uso de colar repelente, 22.22% com higiene do local, 27,8% com vacunación de los animales, 5,55% com repelentes, 5,55% com evitar las picaduras del insecto y por fin, 5,55% incluyó la eutanásia del perro infectado. Sin embargo, 90% de los profesionales recomiendan la vacunación. Se concluye que los medicos veterinarios que trabajan en Mineiros/GO tienen alto conocimiento sobre la enfermidad, principalmente com respecto al modo transmisión, diagnósticos y medidas preventivas. Pero se observa una falta de conocimiento sobre los sintomas presentados por los perros infectados.A Leishmaniose Visceral Canina (LVC) é uma zoonose, de caráter crônico, cujo agente etiológico é a Leishmania chagasi transmitida por insetos do gênero Lutzomyia. É uma doença sistêmica que acomete órgãos linfoides (medula óssea, baço e linfonodos). A propagação da doença está muito relacionada com as formas de abordagem por meio dos profissionais de saúde. Contudo, é muito importante que esses tenham pleno conhecimento e domínio sobre a enfermidade. Portanto o objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar o conhecimento sobre LVC de médicos-veterinários atuantes na cidade de Mineiros/GO e o que tem sido feito por eles para o enfrentamento de casos reais da doença. Foram realizadas 10 entrevistas, por meio de questionários semiestruturados contendo 12 perguntas. Todos entrevistados conheciam a LVC, e relacionaram a forma de transmissão por meio do mosquito palha. Quando questionados sobre animais que poderiam se infectar, 60% responderam cães e gatos e 40% apenas cães. Apenas um entrevistado apresentou uma resposta completa sobre a sintomatologia dos animais afetados. Observou-se um elevado nível de conhecimento em relação ao diagnóstico e tratamento. Em relação aos métodos preventivos, 33,3% relacionaram o uso de coleira repelente, 22.22% higiene do local, 27,8% vacinação animal, 5,55% repelentes, 5,55% evitar a picada do inseto e por fim, 5,55% incluíram a eutanásia do cão infectado.
