Abstract: The canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) and american trypanosomiasis are important zoonoses in public health and dogs are the main domestic reservoir of the parasite for humans. The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of circulating antibodies anti-Trypanosoma cruzi and anti-Leishmania sp. in sera of dogs from the rural area of Botucatu, SP, Brazil. During the annual vaccination campaign against canine rabies in rural area, 689 blood samples were taken and processed by indirect immunofluorescent … Show more

“…in these hunting dogs was lower than what was found among dogs living in rural settlements in Northeast Brazil: 118/306 (38.6%) of those dogs were seropositive according to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ 11 ]. However, the prevalence in our study was higher among rural dogs in a non-endemic area of South Brazil (none/689) [ 12 ]. The seroprevalence of Leishmania spp.…”

“…Vector presence can also be facilitated by constant alterations to the natural environment, caused by anthropic activities, leading to imbalances in ecosystems and modification of the behavior of insect vectors and wild animals that then enter homes for shelter and food 5,6 . Domestic animals, especially dogs, have an important epidemiological role, because they serve as a link between domestic and wild cycles of T. cruzi 7,8 . Furthermore, they are an important disease sentinel, as their infection rates may reveal the potential of disease transmission to humans [9][10][11][12] .…”
