Abstract: The leishmaniasis are a group of globally widespread parasitic diseases caused by a protozoa of the genus Leishmania, the state of Paraná accounts for 98% of leishmaniasis human cases in southern Brazil and the dogs might serve as a sentinel of the risk of infection to humans in a given area. The aim of this work was to study the epidemiology of leishmaniasis in dogs residents in two different environments, they are: recycling of solid waste centers (Group 1) and a neighborhood adjacent to a forest (Group 2), … Show more

“…Although these collection points were in different regions, they were very close (Figure 1). At collection point 38 (central region) we had two rats test positive only by ELISA, one was positive by IFAT and ELISA, one was positive by ELISA, IFAT, and PCR, and another dog was positive by IFAT (COSTA et al, 2016); this demonstrates a trend that Leishmania detection had hot spots in Londrina city (Figure 1). This study demonstrated statistically more adult animals positive through ELISA than young animals in the rodent population.…”

“…At collection point 48 (north region), Costa et al (2016) discovered a dog positive for leishmaniosis by IFAT and we discovered a PCR positive rat (Figure 1). This was a region with higher geographic expansion with a large number of illegally occupied areas in 2006 (IPPUL, 2008), the year of sample collection.…”
