Diagnóstico de infecção pelo Trypanosoma cruzi em gambas, naturalmente infectados, pela reação de imunofluorescência indireta

Abstract: E m 116 gambás capturados no município de Bambuí-MG, fo i realizada a Reação de lmunofluorescência Indireta (R IU ) para a pesquisa de anticorpos circulantesA maioria dos estudos de prevalência de infec ção pelo Trypanosoma cruzi em mamíferos silvestres tem sido realizada a partir da demonstração do parasito através de exames a fresco, hemocultura e xenodiagnóstico, raramente sendo utilizados testes sorológicos. Várias tentativas, com resultados insa tisfatórios, foram realizadas na padronização das técnicas d… Show more

“…The finding of three marsupials positive between the 122 mammals examined and the failure to detect infection in R. rattus and armadillos, importants reservoirs, may be justified by the inefficiency of xenodiagnosis and hemoculture (Fernandes et al 1990, Perlowagora-Szumlewicz et al 1990). …”

“…Afterwards, the animals were cool marked with a special paste with 20% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (Paste R-5) in order to identified an animal captured twice. The hemocultures were examined on day 11, 30, 45 and 60, according to Fernandes et al (1990).…”

“…A comparison of serological and parasitological tests to detect T. cruzi infection in 116 D. albiventris captured in Bambuí, State of Minas Gerais, revealed that 97.7% of the infected animals were positive in both tests (Fernandes et al 1990). Having used fresh and Giemsa-stained smears, hemoculture and xenodiagnosis to detect T. cruzi infection in opossums during this study, 34 negative animals were kept in the laboratory and followed during two months by parasitological and serological tests (indirect immunofluorescence).…”
