Serological survey of anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies in Barbary sheep (Ammotra...
Morikawa,Vivien M.; Zimpel,Cristina K.; Paploski,Igor A.D.; Kikuti,Mariana; Castro,Vanessa; Lopes,Marcia O.; Biondo,Alexander W.ABSTRACT: Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis, affecting humans, domestic and wild animals. The present study aimed to evaluate prevalence of anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies in Barbary sheep at the Curitiba zoo. Microscopic agglutination test (MAT) was performed using 17 serogroups. Antibodies against Leptospira spp. were observed in 23.5% samples and Icterohaemorrhagiae was the only prevalent serogroup. The ...
Dog and cat population dynamics in an urban area: evaluation of a birth control...
Garcia,Rita C.M.; Amaku,Marcos; Biondo,Alexander W.; Ferreira,FernandoABSTRACT: For canine and feline population management in an urban area, a set of well-developed strategies is required to prevent overpopulation, the abandonment of animals, and zoonosis. An understanding of the dynamics of these populations and a characterization of these populations are necessary for action planning. The proposed strategies should be monitored and evaluated so that canine and feline populatio...

Morikawa,Vivien M.; Pellizzaro,Maysa; Paploski,Igor A.D.; Kikuti,Mariana; Lara,Maria C.C.S.H.; Okuda,Liria H.; Biondo,Alexander W.; Barros Filho,Ivan R.ABSTRACT: Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious and non-contagious disease of compulsory notification which may affect domestic and wild ruminants, transmitted by Culicoides spp. midges. Despite the high morbidity and mortality in sheep, role of wild animals in the BT cycle remains unclear. Caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) and Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) have been reportedly found in goats and sheep, but not describ...
Análise espacial do risco de leptospirose canina na Vila Pantanal, Curitiba, Pa...
Bier,Daniele; Shimakura,Silvia E.; Morikawa,Vivien M.; Ullmann,Leila S.; Kikuti,Mariana; Langoni,Hélio; Biondo,Alexander W.; Molento,Marcelo B.A leptospirose é uma grave zoonose associada às áreas de baixa renda dos centros urbanos. Embora roedores urbanos sejam considerados como principal reservatório para a leptospirose, o cão também pode desenvolver a doença e se tornar carreador assintomático. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi utilizar a metodologia estatística baseada na teoria de processos pontuais espaciais, buscando identificar a forma como ...
Anti-Rickettsia spp. antibodies in free-ranging and captive capybaras from sout...
Fortes,Fernanda S.; Santos,Leonilda C.; Cubas,Zalmir S.; Barros-Filho,Ivan R.; Biondo,Alexander W.; Silveira,Iara; Labruna,Marcelo B.Capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) are among the main hosts of Amblyomma spp. ticks, which is able to transmit Rickettsia species to human beings and animals. Since they are often infested with potential vector ticks, capybaras may be used as sentinels for rickettsiosis, such as the Brazilian Spotted Fever. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of antibodies against Rickettsia spp. usi...
