Leishmaniose visceral canina em Maricá, Estado do Rio de Janeiro: relato do primeiro caso autóctone

Abstract: A leishmaniose visceral (LV) é uma zoonose, de transmissão vetorial que tem como agente etiológico o protozoário Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi. No Brasil, esta doença continua sendo um grande desafio nas questões de saúde pública, principalmente pelo potencial endêmico que vem assumindo em vários estados brasileiros 9 . Cães são considerados os principais reservatórios domésticos, sendo monitorados por meio de inquéritos sorológicos, preconizados pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS), que visa a eliminação dos anima… Show more

“…In the municipality of Rio Bonito, a nearby region, L. longipalpis has already been recorded in high density (Brazil et al 1989), but since then there has been no record of human or canine visceral leishmaniasis in this area. However, the first autochthonous canine visceral leishmaniasis in the municipality of Maricá was recently reported (de Paula et al 2009) . This shows the potential risk of VL transmission in the continuous region of the Massif of Mato Grosso that includes Maricá, Saquarema and Rio Bonito in the costal area of the State of Rio de Janeiro.…”

“…This case report, like previous ones, contributes to warn about the dissemination of CVL to previously nonendemic areas. For example, an earlier CVL case was reported in Jaboticabal, São Paulo (SAKAMOTO et al, 2007), and in Marica, Rio de Janeiro (PAULA et al, 2009); the first cases described in those municipalities. In 2011, another CVL case was described in Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro (SILVA et al, 2011).…”

“…This disease remains a major public health challenge in Brazil, especially in states where it is endemic (PAULA et al, 2009). Studies focused on the vector and environmental conditions are key for assessing the transmission risk of this tropical disease (MICHALSKY et al, 2009) and can provide input that will help to determine the most appropriate methods of vector control .…”
