Prevalência e aspectos epidemiológicos da leptospirose bovina em rebanho leiteiro na microrregião de Goiânia - GO

Abstract: Foram colhidas 426 amostras de hemossoro bovino, provenientes de vacas em lactação na microrregião de Goiânia-GO, e testadas pelo método de soroaglutinação microscópica (SAM) para detecção de aglutininas antileptospiras, para efetuar um estudo de prevalência. Paralelamente, foi realizado um questionário epidemiológico, contendo informações que pudessem fornecer dados sobre a epidemiologia da leptospirose nessa região. Os resultados obtidos revelaram uma prevalência de 81,90% de animais reagentes. Os principais… Show more

“…The prevalence of seropositive animals was 81.1% in cattle in the municipality of Goiandira (MOREIRA et al, 2006), adjacent to Ipameri, and 81.9% in cattle in the microregion of Goiânia in the state of Goiás (JULIANO et al, 2000), which were higher than the rates found in this study, and these authors also primarily worked with lactating cows from dairy farms. The low prevalence observed in the present study may be due to the low number of risk factors on the properties, which indicates that the animals were less exposed to the risk of infection by leptospirosis, and the horizontal transfer of animals between cities was low.…”

“…It is caused by the bacterium Leptospira interrogans, which has worldwide distribution. The main manifestations of the disease in cattle include reproductive disorders, low milk production, and mortality rate of up to 60% in young animals, which leads to economic losses to the producers (JULIANO et al, 2000;ADLER;MOCTEZUMA, 2010). The infectious agent may be transmitted through the urine of animals such as rodents, dogs, pigs, and cattle, which serve as disease reservoirs (XUE et al, 2010).…”

“…Resultados diferentes foram obtidos por Juliano et al (2000) em Goiânia e por Figueiredo et al (2009) no Mato Grosso do Sul, os quais relataram ocorrência de 20,6% e 5,8% dessa sorovariedade entre os animais reagentes, respectivamente.…”

“…Na região Centro-Oeste, estudos realizados por Juliano et al (2000), em bovinos leiteiros na microrregião de Goiânia e por Madruga et al (1980) em bovinos de corte no estado do Mato Grosso, revelaram prevalência em animais de 81,9% e 74,5%, respectivamente, semelhantes à obtida neste estudo (Quadro 3), o que sugere que a infecção por Leptospira spp. se mantém prevalente nesta região, tanto na exploração de corte como de leite, há mais de três décadas, sem tendência ao controle.…”
