Abstract: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease affecting most mammals and is distributed throughout the world. Several species of domestic and wild animals may act as reservoirs for this disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the exposure of free-ranging wild carnivores, horses and domestic dogs on a private reserve located in the northern Pantanal (Brazil) and the surrounding areas to Leptospira spp from 2002-2006, 75 free-ranging wild carnivores were captured in the Pantanal and serum samples were collected. … Show more

“…antibodies in the cities of Castanhal and Belém was 17.15%, similar to the results found in Campina Grande-PB, Botucatu-SP, Umuarama-PR, and North of Pantanal Batista et al;2005;Jorge et al 2011;Dreer et al 2013). The State of Pará, despite having precarious basic sanitation infrastructure when compared to the states of São Paulo and Paraná, the prevalence of anti-Leptospira spp.…”

“…Nevertheless, this serovar is uncommon and we only found one case, while Linhares et al (2005), who studied the prevalence of serovars of Leptospira interrogans in 182 serum samples from horses of the Goiânia micro-region using the MAT method, did not find any positive results for this serovar. The fact that the Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar was also only identified on a single property in the present study is more controversial, as this serovar has been found in many studies and is regarded as one of the most prevalent ones in the country (Langoni et al, 2004;Gomes et al, 2007;Hashimoto et al, 2007;Jorge et al, 2011;Coiro et al, 2012). The findings with respect to Grippotyphosa may indicate a specific enzootic area for this serovar in the Bananeiras and Borborema counties.…”

“…Epidemiological data on the occurrence of this serovar in Brazil are scarce, as it is not always included as a reference strain (e.g., Tomich et al 2007;Freitas et al 2010). It is possible that the wide variety of serovars observed in anteaters from SESC (Fig.1), as well as in domestic animals and other wildlife from this area (Freitas et al 2010;Jorge et al 2011), is related to the area having favorable conditions for the survival of Leptospira in the environment, such as seasonal flooding and high temperature and humidity levels (Acha & Szyfres 2003). Emmons et al (2004) repeatedly observed giant anteaters wallowing in mud and bathing in shallow ponds that are used by other species as watering place.…”
