Avaliação parasitológica e sorológica de caprinos inoculados experimentalmente pelo Trypanosoma cruzi

Abstract: A infecção experimental pelo Trypanosoma cruzi foi estudada em nove caprinos jovens. Os animais foram inoculados via intraperitoneal com 10³ tripomastigotas sangüíneos/Kg de peso com as cepas 147 (Grupo 1) e 229 (Grupo 2), isoladas de pacientes chagásicos crônicos de Bambuí, MG. Realizaram-se exames de sangue a fresco, xenodiagnóstico, hemocultura e sorologia (RIFI e ELISA). O período de acompanhamento da infecção variou de 7 a 30 meses.

“…In the literature, cats are recognized as an important food source of triatomines [30, 45, 69, 71]; furthermore, they maintain populations of T. cruzi [69]. Although goats/sheep are often cited as food sources for T. brasiliensis in the semi-arid Northeast region [47, 49, 65, 70, 72], there are still important knowledge gaps on the actual role of these animals in the epidemiology of Chagas disease in the region, especially if the economic representation of these animals is taken into consideration. Meat, milk, viscera and leather of these animals are marketed, often in natura .…”
