“…burgdorferi encontrada em cães varia de acordo com a região fisiográfica (MAGNARELLI et al, 1985;AZUMA et al, 1994;WRIGHT et al, 1997;SALINAS-MELENDEZ et al, 1999;SOARES, et al, 1999a;JOPPERT et al, 2001) sendo mais elevada em áreas endêmicas para a borreliose humana (LINDENMAYER et al, 1991;MERINO et al, 2000;OLSON et al, 2000). JOPPERT et al (2001) que encontraram 9,7%. Assim, os resultados observados no presente estudo (15,58%) estão próximos do que vem sendo reportado no Brasil e de acordo com a prevalência em áreas endêmicas de outros países.…”

“…MAGNARELLI et al (1985) observaram maior número de casos positivos, na IFI, em cães com idade superior a quatro anos. JOPPERT et al (2001) não verificaram diferença entre as faixas etárias de cães no Estado de São Paulo. MERINO et al (2000) observaram animais soropositivos a partir de um ano de idade.…”

“…Each slide contained serum previously shown to be non-reactive (negative control) and serum known to be reactive (positive control, obtained by experimentally infection of the agents in opossums). Anti-Borrelia antibodies were evaluated by ELISA using the North American strain G39/40 of B. burgdorferi as antigen (JOPPERT et al, 2001).…”

Evidência sorológica de exposição a agentes transmitidos por carrapatos em gambás (Didelphis spp.) AbstractThis work involved a serological investigation of tick-borne pathogens in opossums in eight municipalities of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Serum samples from 109 opossums (91 Didelphis aurita and 18 Didelphis albiventris) were tested to detect antibodies to Rickettsia rickettsii (Taiaçu strain, 1:64 cut-off) and Ehrlichia canis (São Paulo strain, 1:40 cut-off), by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA); and against Borrelia burgdorferi (strain G39/40) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The presence of antibodies to anti-R. rickettsii, anti-E. canis and anti-B. burgdorferi was detected in 32 (29.35%), 16 (14.67%) and 30 (27.52%) opossums, respectively. Opossum endpoint titers ranged from 64 to 1,024 for R. rickettsii, from 40 to 160 for E. canis, and from 400 to >51,200 for B. burgdorferi. These serological results suggest that opossums have been exposed to Rickettsia spp., Ehrlichia spp., and B. burgdorferi-related agents in the state of São Paulo. Our study underscores the need for further research about these agents in this study area, in view of the occurrence of Spotted Fever and Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome disease in humans in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

“…The prevalence of antiBorrelia spp. antibodies in dogs is high in Brazil, varying from 9,0% to 83.9%, according to previous studies in different regions of the country (ALVES et al, 2004;CORREIA et al, 2012;JOPPERT et al, 2001;O'DWYER et al, 2004;SOARES et al, 2000). All these studies showed a close relationship between the ticks' infestation and high antibody rates against Lyme spirochetes.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of B. burgdorferi sensu lato s.l. antibodies in stray dogs of the urban area of Umuarama Town, localized in the northwest region of Parana state, Brazil. Serum samples from 168 dogs were tested using indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western Blot (WB) in order to detect anti-Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. antibodies. The IFI analysis was used as screening test and positive results were confirmed employing the WB technique. Sixty-five (38.69%) of 168 serum samples were positive in the IFI; 54 of them (83.07%) were confirmed by the WB. The overall data analysis confirmed the presence of anti-B. burgdorferi s.l. antibodies in 32.14% (54/168) dogs, what suggests that northwest region of Parana State may constitute a risk area for Lyme disease. Further studies are necessary to determine the epidemiological characteristics of this disease in the region studied.
