Detection of anti-Leptospira spp., anti-Brucella spp., and anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in stray dogs

Abstract: Dogs can act as intermediary hosts, reservoirs, and sentinel animals for zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis, toxoplasmosis and leptospirosis, and human contact with domestic animals can spread these infections. These diseases are globally distributed, and are a uniquely severe health issue, since they can infect a great range of animals, including humans. The purpose of this work was to determine the prevalence of anti-Leptospira spp., anti-Brucella spp., and anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in stray dogs.… Show more

“…may be due to the fact that before their stay in the kennel of the ZCC, these dogs lived for long periods on the streets. This exposed the dogs to a situation of vulnerability characterized by ingestion of food waste from garbage and water contaminated with bacteria, in addition to having contact with other animals such as infected synanthropic rodents (Hafemann et al, 2018).…”

“…Algumas doenças consideradas zoonose, como brucelose, se tornam enfermidades importantes quando há o contato direto ou indireto entre o homem e animais infectados. Portanto, essas zoonoses podem se apresentar distribuídas mundialmente, se tornando um agravante para saúde pública e também saúde animal (HAFEMANN et al, 2018).…”

“…Alguns estudos de prevalência da brucelose em cães utilizando sorologia refletem a situação da doença, com maior frequência em ambientes de alta densidade animal, principalmente aqueles com livre circulação (HAFEMANN et al, 2018). Os canis que não possuem uma estratégia estabelecida de medidas de controle e prevenção da doença também possuem uma alta prevalência de brucelose, agravando ainda mais a contaminação de outros animais (HAFEMANN et al, 2018).…”
