“…as an intermediate host (BOWMAN, 2009). Despite its occurrence in just one dog (1%), Fernandes et al (2000) described a seroprevalence of 11.81% of D. immitis in dogs from Cuiabá using indirect methods, so being not effective in detecting the parasite, only antibodies anti-D. immitis LANGONI, 2009). It was evidenced the wide distribution of helminths pathogenic to domestic dogs, and especially with zoonotic potential as A. caninum, T. canis, D. caninum and D. immitis.…”

Helminths parasites of stray dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) from Cuiabá, Midwestern of Brazil

et al. 2015

Helminths cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in animals, especially in neonates and young animals. Some species of helminth parasites of domestic animals have zoonotic potential, becoming a public health problem, especially when combined with lack of information about the population of these zoonosis and lack of control over of their hosts. This study aimed to identify and quantify the species of helminths from dogs that are not domiciled in the region of Cuiabá, in the Midwest region of Brazil. A total of 100 animals, from the Center for Zoonosis Control of Cuiabá were euthanized and necropsied for helminth searching. Overall 8,217 helminths were found in 85 animals identified in six species: Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, Trichuris vulpis, Toxocara canis, Dirofilaria immitis and Dipylidium caninum. It was evidenced the wide distribution of helminths pathogenic to domestic dogs and especially with zoonotic potential as A. caninum, T. canis, D. caninum and D. immitis. The presence of D. immitis is an important finding, since it is a potentially zoonotic agent, however, this finding is considered sporadic.

“…No Brasil, a maior prevalência da infecção nos animais é relatada em áreas costeiras, estando presente, também, distante do litoral (FERNANDES et al, 1999;FERNANDES et al, 2000;SOUZA & LARSSON, 2001;CAVALLAZZI et al, 2002;GARCEZ et al, 2006;SIMÓN et al, 2007) Além disso, a freqüência de viagens para áreas endêmicas e as condições precárias de higiene como destino inadequado do lixo, esgotos a céu aberto e acúmulo de água devem ser considerados (THEIS, 2005;SIMÓN et al, 2005).…”

“…Assim sendo, este teste falha em detectar parasitas imaturos, infecções com parasitas machos e algumas infecções com somente um ou dois parasitas adultos, não sendo considerado um teste de triagem eficaz, porém se positivo, define-se o diagnóstico. Para sanar essas limitações, técnicas sorológicas como ELISA e "immunoblot" têm sido capazes de detectar mais precocemente cães infectados e infecções envolvendo parasitas machos e/ou fêmeas que os testes de antígenos (FERNANDES et al, 2000;AHS, 2007).…”

Microfilaruria by Dirofilaria immitis in a dog: a rare clinical pathological finding

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A 6-year-old Labrador with history of hyperpnea, respiratory distress, ascites and paraparesis, presented microfilariae in the blood smear, cytology of the abdominal fluid and urine. The positive samples were confirmed by multiplex-PCR (COI gene) and sequencing, and presented 98% homology to (GenBank accession nos. KC107805.1, EU159111.1, EU163945.1, DQ358815.1, and AJ537512-1). Based on the presented results and the physiopathology of the heartworm disease, molecular techniques may be helpful and accurate in the diagnosis of the disease in vertebrates, and microfilaruria, even uncommon, should be considered on a renal failure evaluation.
