“…For instance, L. infantum is widespread in all Brazilian regions [81,113,149,150], but less frequent in southern parts of the country [151,152]. However, L. longipalpis , the principal vector for L. infantum , is present in northern Argentina [153], Paraguay [154], and has recently been detected in Uruguay [155].…”

Dogs and cats in Brazil serve as primary hosts for a considerable number of parasites, which may affect their health and wellbeing. These may include endoparasites (e.g., protozoa, cestodes, trematodes, and nematodes) and ectoparasites (i.e., fleas, lice, mites, and ticks). While some dog and cat parasites are highly host-specific (e.g., Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Felicola subrostratus for cats, and Angiostrongylus vasorum and Trichodectes canis for dogs), others may easily switch to other hosts, including humans. In fact, several dog and cat parasites (e.g., Toxoplasma gondii, Dipylidium caninum, Ancylostoma caninum, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Toxocara canis) are important not only from a veterinary perspective but also from a medical standpoint. In addition, some of them (e.g., Lynxacarus radovskyi on cats and Rangelia vitalii in dogs) are little known to most veterinary practitioners working in Brazil. This article is a compendium on dog and cat parasites in Brazil and a call for a One Health approach towards a better management of some of these parasites, which may potentially affect humans. Practical aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitic diseases of dogs and cats in Brazil are discussed.

“…Canine visceral leishmaniasis by L. infantum is endemic in all Brazilian regions [ 34 - 47 ], except in South where the disease is seldom recognized [ 44 , 48 , 49 ]. Canine cutaneous leishmaniasis by L. braziliensis is also prevalent in all regions [ 7 , 10 , 38 , 50 - 58 ], except in Center-West.…”

Canine vector-borne diseases in Brazil

2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) are highly prevalent in Brazil and represent a challenge to veterinarians and public health workers, since some diseases are of great zoonotic potential. Dogs are affected by many protozoa (e.g., Babesia vogeli, Leishmania infantum, and Trypanosoma cruzi), bacteria (e.g., Anaplasma platys and Ehrlichia canis), and helminths (e.g., Dirofilaria immitis and Dipylidium caninum) that are transmitted by a diverse range of arthropod vectors, including ticks, fleas, lice, triatomines, mosquitoes, tabanids, and phlebotomine sand flies. This article focuses on several aspects (etiology, transmission, distribution, prevalence, risk factors, diagnosis, control, prevention, and public health significance) of CVBDs in Brazil and discusses research gaps to be addressed in future studies.

“…Although there is no bridge between Bella Union and Monte Caseros and the border is crossed only by boats, the river cannot be considered a geographical barrier and the two foci should be considered contiguous. Related (Pocai et al 1998, Marcondes et al 2003, Krauspenhar et al 2007). In [2008][2009], three human VL cases and 87 dogs with canine VL were reported in the city of São Borja along with presence of Lu.…”
