“…In the past, São Paulo State had many cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (VALE & FURTADO, 2005). More recently, there was an outbreak of visceral leishmaniasis, so it is reasonable to assume that some of the dogs involved actually had cutaneous disease, as observed in our results.…”

Leishmaniasis is a major public health problem worldwide. Because Leishmania can adapt to new hosts or vectors, knowledge concerning the current etiological agent in dogs is important in endemic areas. This study aimed to identify the Leishmania species detected in 103 samples of peripheral blood from dogs that were naturally infected with these protozoa. The diagnosis of leishmaniasis was determined through parasitological examination, the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The Leishmania species were identified by means of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The samples were subjected to PCR using oligonucleotide primers that amplify the intergenic region ITS1 of the rRNA gene in order to identify the species. The amplified DNA was digested using the restriction enzyme HaeIII. A restriction profile identical to L. amazonensis was shown in 77/103 samples and the profile was similar to L. infantum in 17/103. However, a mixed profile was shown in 9/103 samples, which impeded species identification. In conclusion, the infection in these dogs was predominantly due to L. amazonensis, thus indicating that diagnosing of cases of canine leishmaniasis needs to be reexamined, since the causative agent identified is not restricted to L. infantum.

“…Based on epidemiological studies of Leishmania braziliensis, Marzochi and Marzochi proposed that leishmaniosis has its origin in the western Amazon. 4,5 Leishmania are divided into two subgenera, Viannia and Leishmania. In Brazil, at least seven species that cause disease are recognized; cutaneous leishmaniosis is caused mainly by L. ) chagasi is the causal agent of visceral disease.…”

“…Nesta circunstância, a doença atinge predominantemente o sexo masculino na faixa etária produtiva. Manifesta-se de forma endêmica em quase todos os estados brasileiros e, ocasionalmente, ocorre na forma de surtos epidêmicos (GOMES, 1992;JONES et al, 1987;NEGRÃO e FERREIRA, 2014;VALE;FURTADO, 2005). No entanto, em regiões do país com maior impacto de ações antrópicas, sobretudo no Sudeste e no Nordeste, o parasito L. (V.) braziliensis encontra-se adaptado a ecossistemas alterados e a sua transmissão vem ocorrendo em áreas urbanas (GOMES, 1992;MARZOCHI, 1992;MARZOCHI;MARZOCHI, 1994 .…”

In some regions such as in the municipalities of Corumbá and Ladário in Mato Grosso do Sul state, there are ecological and epidemiological evidence that Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) cruzi (Mangabeira, 1938) is the vector of Leishmania cruzi specimens, since this species represent 93.94% of the total captured. The monthly change showed that Lu. cruzi species has great plasticity and has been observed in all months of collection.
