2 ResumoA Anemia Infecciosa Equina (AIE) é doença viral de caráter crônico, causada por um Lentivirus da família Retroviridae, transmitida principalmente pela picadura de artrópodes hematófagos. Por ser transmissível, incurável e de difícil controle é considerada importante entrave para a equideocultura brasileira. Como parte do programa de sanidade equídea do município de Monte Mor, um total de 64 animais foi avaliado para a presença de anticorpos para o vírus causador da AIE, por meio da prova de imunodifusão em gel de ágar. Um total de três animais foi reagente à sorologia resultando em soropositividade local de 4,7%. Tendo em vista o significante uso de equídeos como animais de trabalho e lazer em áreas urbanas, se faz necessária a implantação de medidas de posse responsável e controle de zoonoses que envolvam equídeos, visando o bem estar animal e a saúde da população humana. Palavras-chave: Anemia infecciosa equina, imunodifusão em gel de ágar, zoonoses, programa municipal, equídeos, região metropolitana de Campinas AbstractEquine Infectious Anemia (EIA) is a chronic viral disease, caused by a Lentivirus from Retroviridae family. It is primarily transmitted by arthropod vectors during bloodfeeding. It is an infectious, incurable and difficult to control disease, being considered an important obstacle to horse breeding in Brazil. As part of the municipal equine health program of Monte Mor county, a total of 64 animals were evaluated through serology for the presence of antibodies against EIA virus, using agar gel immunodiffusion test. Three animals were serologically reagent resulting in a local occurrence of 4.7%. Due to the significant use of horses as working and recreational animals in urban areas, it is mandatory that public authorities set up policies of responsible ownership and zoonoses control involving equine populations, aiming both animal welfare improvement and human health protection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
