“…The variation in prevalence between the results of this study and those of Lopes et al (2013) can be explained by the specificity of the ELISA technique when compared with DAT. The presence of anti-Leishmania antibodies in the serum of the horses analyzed in this study allows us to infer, as was done by Chagas (2017), Escobar et al (2019), andBenassi et al (2018), that the equine species is capable of becoming infected and that the animals in this study had previous exposure to the protozoan, evidencing its presence in the study area, thus associating the species with a role of environmental bioindicators for the disease (Chagas 2017, Vasconcelos et al 2018.…”

“…Já a forma clínica prevalente foi a leishmaniose tegumentar cutânea e o tipo de diagnóstico mais utilizado foi o laboratorial. De acordo com (Vasconcelos et al, 2018), "o ideal é que o diagnóstico clínico-epidemiológico possa ser associado aos exames laboratoriais para obtenção de melhores resultados, isso em razão do número de doenças que fazem diagnóstico diferencial com a LTA".…”

“…American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) is a non-contagious infectious disease caused by different species of the genus Leishmania. Transmission occurs through the bite of infected female phlebotomus, belonging to the genus Lutzomyia in the New World 1 . ATL may occur with diverse clinical manifestations, ranging from cutaneous lesions that are self-limited and regressive to multiple injuries and difficult to control 2 .…”
