Resumo: Despite the description of several cases of feline leishmaniasis around the world, little information is available about the importance of the cat as a reservoir of the disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the occurrence of leishmaniasis in cats from an endemic area for visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil. Two hundred cats were included in this study. Infection was evaluated through the presence of amastigotes in stained smears from fine-needle aspirates of lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen and liver, and by antibody reactivity against Leishmania chagasi using indirect ELISA. Our results showed a prevalence of infection in 14.5% (31/200) of the feline population studied, with 4% (8/200) of positivity by parasitological diagnosis and 11.5% (23/200) by serology.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a ocorrência de leishmaniose em gatos provenientes de uma área endêmica para leishmaniose visceral no Brasil. Duzentos gatos foram incluídos no estudo. A presença de infecção foi determinada por meio do achado de formas amastigotas do parasita em esfregaços obtidos por punção biópsia aspirativa de linfonodos, medula óssea, baço e fígado, e pela presença de anticorpos anti-L. chagasi pelo teste de ELISA indireto. Nossos resultados demonstraram uma prevalência de infecção em 14,5% (31/200) dos gatos na população estudada, sendo 4% (8/200) por diagnóstico parasitológico e 11,5% (23/200) por sorologia.Universidade de São Paulo.
