Freqüência de Giardia lamblia em cães atendidos em clínicas veterinárias de Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil

Abstract: A pesquisa de cistos de Giardia lamblia em fezes de cães oriundos de clínicas veterinárias de Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil, foi realizada pelo método de FAUST et al. (1939). Das 526 amostras analisadas, 38% (198) foram positivas para cistos de G. lamblia, sendo 22% (116) constituídos por animais menores de 11 meses de idade e 16% (82) constituídos por animais com 12 meses ou mais de idade. Houve diferença significativa (p<0,05) entre os grupos pelo teste do c². Dos animais pesquisados, 54% (285) eram machos, e,… Show more

“…With respect to Giardia and D. caninum infection, a lower prevalence was found compared with other studies (2,5,6,10,18,(20)(21)(22)(23). However, results should be interpreted with caution regarding the sensitivity of the diagnostic techniques used, intermittent shedding of Giardia cysts, observation of gravid proglottids for D. caninum, and differences in sample size.…”

“…Therefore, a wide spectrum of investigations based on dogs' health, sanitary, and parasitic status have been conducted in the last decades and have been a substantial matter of study especially in endemic areas (2,3). Main risk factors described were age, sex, breed, neutering status, antiparasitic use, owners' socioeconomic status, and seasonal and spatial variation, from among others (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). In Argentina, previous studies determined the overall prevalence of GI parasitism in dogs' feces in different locations, with values ranging from 36% to 68% (8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

“…Utilizando esta mesma técnica para diagnóstico, Beck et al (2005) encontraram positividade de 34,04%, analisando a frequência de infecção por Giardia lamblia em cães no município de Canoas (RS), resultado semelhante ao encontrado por Bartmann & Araújo (2004) que avaliando cães em Porto Alegre (RS), encontrou 37,6% de amostras positivas.…”

“…Pelo fato de conseguir apresentar maior positividade para cistos de Giardia spp., a técnica de Faust é considerada, em geral, a melhor técnica para identificação deste protozoário, podendo ser utilizada na rotina laboratorial (Bartmann & Araújo, 2004). Esta superioridade da técnica de Faust et al (1938) está de acordo com escassos relatos da literatura incluindo a parasitologia veterinária (Gates & Nolan, 2009).…”

“…A prevalence of 41% in Uberlândia (MG) was found by [30], a close result to 44.3% in dogs from the municipality of Santa Maria (RS) [31], but this high prevalence in the study was attributed to the large number of young dogs (89.1%). Also in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the city of Porto Alegre, Giardia cysts was found in 198 (38%) of the 526 samples analyzed using centrifugal floatation technique method [32], and in Canoas (RS), using the same technique, 34.04% of dog's stool samples positive for the protozoan [33]. However, the data for the dogs in Lages were closer to data obtained in Guarulhos (SP) of 13.25% (22/166) using different techniques from the ones used in this study [34].…”
