“…A recent study (CARVALHO et al, 2014) using ecological niche modeling predicts southward expansion of L. flaviscutellata in South America because of climate change. Several studies have investigated phlebotomine fauna in Paraná State (GOMES & GALATI, 1977;TEODORO et al, 1993;TEODORO et al, 1999;OLIVEIRA et al, 2000;DIAS-SVERSUTTI et al, 2007;SILVA et al, 2008;CERINO et al, 2009;REIS et al, 2011;CRUZ et al, 2012;SANTOS et al, 2012;MEMBRIVE et al, 2012;CRUZ et al, 2013;MELO et al, 2013); none reported L. (L.) amazonensis vectors. Taking into account two autochthonous cases (one human and one canine) of leishmaniasis by L. (L.) amazonensis in North Paraná, more studies about phlebotomine fauna must be made in this region, now using Disney traps with rodents as baits (DORVAL et al, 2007), because L. flaviscutellata is strongly attracted to rodents (LAINSON & SHAW, 1968;SHAW & LAINSON, 1972;CARVALHO et al, 2014).…”

Leishmania in synanthropic rodents (Rattus rattus):new evidence for the urbanization of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis AbstractThis study aimed to detect parasites from Leishmania genus, to determine the prevalence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies, to identify circulating species of the parasite, and to determine epidemiological variables associated with infection in rats caught in urban area of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Animal capture was carried out from May to December 2006, serological and molecular methods were performed. DNA was extracted from total blood, and nested-PCR, targeting SSu rRNA from Leishmania genus, was performed in triplicate. The positive samples were sequenced twice by Sanger method to species determination. In total, 181 rodents were captured, all were identified as Rattus rattus and none showed clinical alterations. Forty-one of the 176 (23.3%) animals were positive for Leishmania by ELISA and 6/181 (3.3%) were positive by IFAT. Nine of 127 tested animals (7.1%) were positive by PCR; seven were identified as L.

“…The second sampling was performed between June 2013 and July 2013, where 376 urban domiciled dogs were selected from 20 localities located near the Paraguay border, Paraná River, and the central and peripheral regions of the city. The households were selected based on the data from the entomological survey performed by the Ninth Health Region, Paraná State (SANTOS et al, 2012). The EDTA blood samples were collected from all dogs and popliteal lymph node puncture was performed on dogs exhibiting clinical symptoms of VL.…”

“…As Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, was the first city of the tri-border area to register both L. longipalpis vector (SALOMÓN et al, 2011) and autochthonous CVL cases in 2011 (ACOSTA et al, 2015), a study on the vector and CVL was initiated in Foz do Iguaçu. In 2012, an entomological study verified the presence of the L. longipalpis vector and the city was classified as a receptive vulnerable silent area for VL (SANTOS et al, 2012). The first autochthonous case of human visceral leishmaniasis (HVL) was confirmed in the city of Foz do Iguaçu in 2015 (PINA TRENCH et al, 2016).…”

The aim of this study was to confirm the emergence of canine visceral leishmaniasis among dogs in Foz do Iguaçu. The disease was diagnosed through the isolation and molecular identification of Leishmania infantum. In the first sample collection stage (2012), three lymph node aspirates and 46 buffy coat samples were obtained mostly from the dogs that were seroreagents for leishmaniasis. In the second sample collection stage (2013), the buffy coat samples were collected from 376 dogs located close to Paraguay, Paraná river, center and peripheral parts of the city. The DNA from the six isolates, four from the first sampling stage (4/49) and two from the second sampling stage (2/376), was subjected to polymerase chain reaction using the K26F/R primers. The isolate was confirmed as L. infantum by sequencing. As none of the dogs had ever left the city, the isolates were confirmed as autochthonous. Further, the study confirmed the emergence of canine visceral leishmaniasis in Paraná through the identification of L. infantum among dogs in Foz do Iguaçu city. Hence, collaborative control measures should be designed and implemented by the public agencies and research institutions of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay to control the spread of visceral leishmaniasis.

“…Autochthonous cases of human VL have been reported in Altônia, and the sand fly vector has been observed in Foz do Iguaçu (CAT et al, 1973(CAT et al, /1974AYALA et al, 1980;SANTOS et al, 2012). To date, there have been no reports of autochthonous cases in dogs; however, alien cases have been recorded in the state (SOCCOL et al, 2009b).…”

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.
