No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic zoonosis that mainly affects poorest and most vulnerable populations, and domestic dogs are considered to be the main source of infection to the vector and therefore humans. However, several studies have investigated the role of other vertebrate hosts in the disease...
Caprine breeding is a largely exploited activity in Brazil, with a herd of over 10 million goats concentrated mostly in the Northeast region, which contains 93.9% of the national herd. However, this region is affected by huge losses due to inappropriate management and illness occurrence, such as leptospirosis, a reproductive disease that causes economic and productive losses. Considering these previous statemen...
Parasitic diseases are considered neglected diseases, with high occurrence in Brazil. Public squares are important leisure areas frequented by children, youth, adults and the elderly, however, such areas have a large number of animals, which eliminate feces in these places, increasing the transmission of zoonotic parasitic diseases. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of parasites in public squares soi...

Considering the importance of leptospirosis in both equine husbandry and public health, as well as the relevance of knowledge of current serogroup and the small number of studies addressing this disease in equines in Northeastern Brazil, the present study performed a serological survey of Leptospira spp. in a serum bank of 1,267 equines originating from 177 municipalities, located in four states in Northeastern...
