“…Vivem em condições de sinantropismo, buscando espaços construídos por humanos, onde facilmente encontram comida e água para sobreviverem. Porém, a leptospira possui outros reservatórios como suínos, bovinos, equinos, ovinos e cães (CHAKRABORTY et al, 2010;MARTINS, SPINK, 2018;GUEDES, et al 2020).…”

“…The diagnosis of leptospirosis has already been described in some wild animals, including collared peccaries (Pecari tajacu), from various regions of Brazil and the USA (Luna-Alvarez, Moles-Cervantes, Torres- Barranca & Gual-Sill, 1996;Ito et al, 1998;Jori, Galvez, Mendoza, Cespedes & Mayor, 2009), but this is the first study in the Northeast region of Brazil for this species. The four positive animals reacted to the serogroup Icterohaemorraghiae, which has been identified as the main responsible for the clinical cases of human leptospirosis in Brazil and the rodent Rattus norvegicus is considered the most relevant host (Bharti et al, 2003;Souza et al, 2006;Martins & Spink, 2020). There is an important role for rodents in the transmission of serogroup Icterohaemorraghiae to wild animals that live in captivity, since they are present in agglomeration sites, making contact more favorable, according to the Corrêa et al (2004) and Ministério da Saúde [MS] (2019).…”

The collared peccary (Pecari tajacu Linnaeus, 1758) is considered an animal of economic viability for trading and potentially productive for meat, being important the knowledge about the health of this species. Thus, the objective of the research was to carry out a cross-sectional study of leptospirosis in captive collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) from the states of Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Piauí, northeast region of Brazil, using serological and molecular techniques. Serum samples from 48 animals were tested using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) technique. In the samples of vaginal and preputial fluid, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed. Four animals (8.3%) were seroreactive for Leptospira sp. with reaction to serogroup Icterohaemorraghiae and negative in PCR. There was association between the occurrence of leptospirosis and the intensive breeding system (odds ratio=63.00; 95%CI=4.3-910.6; P=0.002). The seroreactivity for leptospirosis suggests that, at some point, these animals were infected by sources of infection within the farm itself. It was also possible to observe the importance of knowing the serogroups prevalent in this species in the studied region, which allows the establishment of adequate strategies for its control, thus prioritizing the balance in the human-animal-environment relationship.

“…Leptospirosis (LEP) is an acute febrile illness caused by bacteria belonging to the Leptospira genus, transmitted to humans through contact with water contaminated with urine from infected rodents. Leptospira can remain viable in water for several months ( 68 ) and is considered a doubly neglected disease due to the lack of awareness of the Brazilian population regarding its severity ( 69 ). Endemicity is associated to urban areas with poor sanitation and open sewers or rural areas where agricultural practices lead to water contamination with animal urine.…”

The Amazon biome is under severe threat due to increasing deforestation rates and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services while sustaining a high burden of neglected tropical diseases. Approximately two thirds of this biome are located within Brazilian territory. There, socio-economic and environmental landscape transformations are linked to the regional agrarian economy dynamics, which has developed into six techno-productive trajectories (TTs). These TTs are the product of the historical interaction between Peasant and Farmer and Rancher practices, technologies and rationalities. This article investigates the distribution of the dominant Brazilian Amazon TTs and their association with environmental degradation and vulnerability to neglected tropical diseases. The goal is to provide a framework for the joint debate of the local economic, environmental and health dimensions. We calculated the dominant TT for each municipality in 2017. Peasant trajectories (TT1, TT2, and TT3) are dominant in ca. fifty percent of the Amazon territory, mostly concentrated in areas covered by continuous forest where malaria is an important morbidity and mortality cause. Cattle raising trajectories are associated with higher deforestation rates. Meanwhile, Farmer and Rancher economies are becoming dominant trajectories, comprising large scale cattle and grain production. These trajectories are associated with rapid biodiversity loss and a high prevalence of neglected tropical diseases, such as leishmaniasis, Aedes-borne diseases and Chagas disease. Overall, these results defy simplistic views that the dominant development trajectory for the Amazon will optimize economic, health and environmental indicators. This approach lays the groundwork for a more integrated narrative consistent with the economic history of the Brazilian Amazon.
