“…As fêmeas de flebotomíneos examinadas neste estudo preferiram sangue de roedor, mas sugaram ave, com certa freqüência, além de outros vertebrados; um dado interessante que reforça a necessidade de investigação de alguns destes animais como possíveis reservatórios de leishmaniose tegumentar, especialmente os mais procurados, como roedores, cães e eqüinos, os quais já foram encontrados infectados com Leishmania em outras áreas 5,6,7 .…”

“…Equine CL was described for the first time in a horse ( Equus caballus ) from Argentina by Maza and then in a donkey ( Equus asinus ) from Brazil . The first Leishmania infection of a mule ( Equus caballus × Equus asinus ) was described in Brazil . Later, more cases of Leishmania ‐infected donkeys were documented in Brazil and particularly in Venezuela .…”

Summary Infection of equids by Leishmania (L.) parasites was previously described in both the Old and New World, particularly in Central and South America. Equine cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by the Leishmania species, L. Viannia (V.) braziliensis and L. infantum, previously identified in humans and other parasite hosts living in the same geographic endemic areas. Sporadic autochthonous clinical cases, with no travel history, were documented in several countries including Germany, Portugal, Spain, Texas and Brazil; L. infantum and L. (Mundinia) martiniquensis were the infectious species. Prevalence of subclinical infections is extremely low and CL is observed in only a small proportion of infected animals with the appearance of single or multiple cutaneous lesions located on the head, external ear, scrotum, legs and the neck. To date, there has been no report of visceral abnormalities. However, the mild clinical profile of the disease and its spontaneous regression may indicate that skin lesions related to Leishmania infection is underdiagnosed. Importantly, although the prevalence of Leishmania infections in the equine population is low, a risk may rise from its potential involvement in the parasite transmission cycles as a source of infection for phlebotomine vectors and susceptible mammalian hosts. This review article summarises our current knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical presentation and diagnosis of Leishmania‐infected equids.

“…Equine cutaneous leishmaniasis was first reported by Mazza in 1927 in a horse in Argentina and by Alencar in 1959 in a donkey in the Ceará state, Brazil (Aguilar et al., 1986). Leishmania infection in horses and mules has been reported in the states of Bahia (Vexenat et al., 1986; Follador et al., 1999), Espírito Santo (Falqueto et al., 1987), Pernambuco (Brandão‐Filho et al., 2003), São Paulo (Yoshida et al., 1990) and Rio de Janeiro (Aguilar and Rangel, 1986; Aguilar et al., 1986, 1987; Oliveira‐Neto et al., 1988).…”

American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is an endemic disease in the north-west of Paraná state, Brazil, where it occurs in humans and dogs. Few studies have been undertaken on the occurrence of the disease in other domestic animals and horses. In this study we investigated the infection of horses by Leishmania in ACL-endemic rural areas. Direct agglutination test (DAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were employed. Fifty-five horses from rural areas in the municipalities of Doutor Camargo, Ourizona, São Jorge do Ivaí, Ivatuba and Santa Fé (Agua do O) were analysed. DAT-detected antibody titres varied from 10 to 640, and 42 (76.3%) animals presented titres > or =20. PCR analyses led to the detection of Leishmania (Viannia) DNA in the blood samples of three (7.1%) of 42 animals. The presence of anti-L. (V.) braziliensis antibodies and Leishmania (Viannia) DNA in horses from endemic areas suggests their participation in the ACL transmission cycle.
