Abstract: Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(12):1243-1246, dezembro 2014 1243 RESUMO.-[Diagnóstico de infecção por Leishmania infantum pela reação em cadeia da polimerase em mamíferos silvestres.] A leishmaniose visceral é uma doença infecciosa crônica de mamíferos causada, no Brasil, pelo protozoário Leishmania infantum (sinonímia: Leishmania chagasi) e transmitida pelo flebótomo Lutzomyia longipalpis. Trata-se de uma zoonose endêmica em muitas regiões do Brasil, inclusive em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Em centros urbanos, leish… Show more

“…The domestic dog is the most important reservoir of VL . However, VL has also been reported in wild species, including carnivores, marsupials, primates, edentates, lagomorphs, bats, and rodents, but to the best of our knowledge, there are no previous reports of VL in gorillas. Experimental infections have been reported in primates including Macaca innus , Macaca mullata , Cebus apella , Cercopithecus aethiops , and Saimiri sciureus , but there are only few reported naturally acquired infections in non‐human primates …”

“…Several target sequences and PCR protocols have been described for detection of Leishmania in mammalian hosts, which allow detection of the parasite in diverse types of samples (Dantas-Torres, 2009;Lombardi et al, 2014;Souza et al, 2010). In this study, we aimed to enhance the efficiency of Leishmania detection in equine blood samples using four sets of primers specific for different gene encoding regions.…”

“…The main reservoirs of Leishmania infantum in many areas of the world in the peridomestic or sylvatic environments are domestic dogs and wild foxes, respectively (Lainson & Rangel, 2005). Apart from humans, several mammalian species, including rodents, primates, felines and equines are infected by the pathogen and participate in the epidemiological chain to ensure proliferation of the etiological agent (Benassi et al, 2017;Echchakery et al, 2017;Lombardi et al, 2014;Müller, Hentrich, Frey, & Welle 2015). With numerous leishmaniasis outbreaks described in mammals, they are incriminated as possible reservoirs or accidental hosts (Figueiredo & Madeira, 2014).…”
