“…Although several studies have reported domestic animals as American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) reservoirs, the literature indicates that feline cases are rare and (4,7,(15)(16)(17)(18). In Brazil, natural infection in domestic cats has been registered in Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro and Campo Grande (19)(20)(21)(22).…”

Cutaneous leishmaniases are anthropozoonoses that involve many species of Leishmania and a wide variety of wild mammalian hosts, thus presenting high importance to public health. This study reports the second case of feline leishmaniasis in Mato Grosso do Sul state, in which Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis was found in a domestic cat from Ribas do Rio Pardo. Clinical signs were similar to those observed in other diseases commonly diagnosed in cats, such as cryptococcosis and sporotrichosis. Cutaneous leishmaniasis should, therefore, be added to differential diagnoses by feline veterinary practitioners, and also adequate investigations should be carried out to verify the relevance of domestic cats as L. amazonensis reservoirs.KEY WORDS: cutaneous leishmaniasis, Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, domestic cat, Mato Grosso do Sul state.

“…The preference of insects for peridomestic areas has also been observed in several Brazilian states (BARATA et al, 2005;MONTEIRO et al, 2005;RESENDE et al, 2006;SANTOS, 2005;SILVA, 2005;SOUZA et al 2004), which provides evidence of insects' domiciliation influenced by human and socio-ecological changes in the mosquito habitat area and the power of adaptation of insects species (AGUIAR; MEDEIROS, 2003;SOUZA et al, 2004;OLIVEIRA et al, 2003), although Resende et al (2006) observed approximately equal proportions of sand flies, mainly L. longipalpis, in both intra and peridomestic areas.…”

Leishmaniasis is transmitted naturally in urban and suburban areas, due to the emergence and reemergence of their vectors in these areas. In order to deepen the knowledge about ecological aspects that affect the occurrence of vectors in areas of transmission of leishmaniasis areas in Cuiabá, state of Mato Grosso (MT), Brazil, a survey was carried out of the Zoonosis Control Center database -ZCC serologically positive dogs from Cuiabá municipality within the period 2005-2011. Nine species of the genus Lutzomyia and one of Brumptomyia were identified. The most abundant species were Lutzomyia whitmani (33.2%), followed by L. cruzi (16.8%) longipalpis (13.9%) Brumptomyia brumpti (9.9%), L. saulensis (4.0%) and L. flaviscutellata (3.5%). There was an increase in the number of Leishmaniasis vectors in the municipality of Cuiabá during the years 2005-2011. The presence of infected dogs, the increase in vector's density and the rate of susceptibility and surveillance interruption may increase the risk of leishmaniasis transmission to humans in the municipality of Cuiabá.Keyword: Dogs.

Leishmaniases are a group of diseases caused by Leishmania protozoa affecting various vertebrate hosts, including humans and dogs. Dogs represent the most important domestic reservoir of leishmaniasis. For this reason, the aim of this study was to detect the presence of antibodies against Leishmania spp. in dogs being treated at the veterinary hospital of our institution. Samples were obtained from 175 animals by jugular or cephalic venipuncture, and serum was subsequently separated. Anti-Leishmania spp. IgG antibodies were detected in these specimens using indirect immunofluorescence. This revealed that of the 175 serum samples, those of four (2.28%) animals reacted positively and the antibodies title was 40. These data are consistent with the transmission of Leishmania spp. in the region, suggesting that dogs represent a reservoir of American cutaneous leishmaniasis. This is the first description of circulating antibodies against Leishmania spp. in the West region of Paraná State. Key words: Serological reaction. Leishmaniasis. Canine population. Toledo-PR. ResumoAs leishmanioses são doenças causadas pelo protozoário Leishmania e acometem vários hospedeiros vertebrados, incluindo humanos e cães. Cães representam o reservatório doméstico mais importante da leishmaniose. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi detectar a presença de anticorpos contra Leishmania spp. em cães atendidos na rotina de animais de companhia do Hospital Veterinário desta instituição de ensino. Amostras de sangue de 175 animais foram obtidas por venopunção jugular ou cefálica com posterior obtenção dos soros. Estas amostras foram submetidas à reação de imunofluorescência indireta para detecção de anticorpos da classe IgG anti-Leishmania. A reação sorológica dos 175 soros realizados revelou quatro (2,28%) animais reagentes com título 40. Estes dados revelam a presença de espécies de Leishmania spp. circulando na região, sugerindo o papel de cães como reservatórios para leishmaniose cutânea americana. Esta é a primeira descrição da circulação de anticorpos contra Leishmania spp. na região Oeste do Paraná. Palavras-chave: Reação sorológica. Leishmaniose. População canina. Toledo-PR.
