Abstract: Canine ehrlichiosis and babesiosis are the most prevalent tick-borne diseases in Brazilian dogs. Few studies have focused attention in surveying tick-borne diseases in the Brazilian Amazon region. A total of 129 blood samples were collected from dogs living in the Brazilian eastern Amazon. Seventy-two samples from dogs from rural areas of 19 municipalities and 57 samples from urban stray dogs from Santarém municipality were collected. Serum samples were submitted to Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) with… Show more

“…Interestingly, a very similar scenario was recently reported in the state of Pará (a state neighboring Maranhão), where Spolidorio et al (2013) found anti-B. vogeli antibodies in 59.6% of the urban dogs, and in 29.1% of the rural dogs (P < 0.05).…”

“…Surprisingly, despite lacking traditional ownership, these dogs were found to be healthy on clinical examination, with CBC counts and biochemical profiles within the normal range, and they mostly tested negative for CVBD. In Brazil, previous studies have shown that the prevalence of CVBDs in dogs in urban areas has varied from absence to 91.2% (Lasta et al, 2013;Spolidorio et al, 2013;Vieira et al, 2013b). Although the neighborhood dogs of the present study had comparatively lower CVBD prevalence (Vieira et al, 2013b;Azzag et al, 2015), the wide differences in CVBD prevalence may be explained by the populations studied, lifestyles, environmental occurrence of vectors and diseases, diagnostic tests used and vector competence of ticks from the Rhipicephalus sanguineus group (Balakrishnan et al, 2014;Maia et al, 2015;Moraes-Filho et al, 2015).…”

“…In fact, domestic dogs have been considered excellent sentinels for infection by R. rickettsii and other spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia species in southeastern Brazil (SANGIONI et al, 2005;HORTA et al, 2007;PINTER et al, 2008). In addition, canine serosurvey in different parts of Brazil have indicated that dogs are infected with different SFG-Rickettsia species, such as R. rickettsii, Rickettsia parkeri, or Rickettsia amblyommii, all associated with ticks (PINTER et al, 2008;SAITO et al, 2008;MELO et al, 2011;SPOLIDORIO et al, 2013;SZABÓ et al, 2013).…”

“…(LABRUNA et al, 2000;SZABÓ et al, 2001;COSTA et al, 2013). This scenario has resulted in B. vogeli and E. canis infection prevalence to be generally higher in urban than in rural dogs SPOLIDORIO et al, 2013;VIEIRA et al, 2013) because the ecologic niche of R. sanguineus s.l. in Brazil is typically in human dwellings (LABRUNA & PEREIRA, 2001).…”
