Caldart,Eloiza Teles; Pinto-Ferreira,Fernanda; Matos,Andressa Maria Rorato Nascimento de; Pascoal,Aline Ticiani Pereira; Bertão-Santos,AmandaAbstract The present study aimed to evaluate a methodology for active surveillance of visceral leishmaniasis by detecting Leishmania DNA in organs of wild road-killed animals from November 2016 to October 2018 in the North of Paraná, Brazil. The collection points of road-killed wild animals were georeferenced. The animals were autopsied and samples of bone marrow, lymph node, liver, spleen, and ear skin were co...

Oliveira,Juliana Silva de; Martins,Felippe Danyel Cardoso; Ladeia,Winni Alves; Cortela,Isadora de Britto; Valadares,Manuela FerrazAbstract Cattle are an important source of zoonotic species of Cryptosporidium for humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Cryptosporidium, identify the species and determine the risk factors relating to environment, animals and management among dairy calves in eight Brazilian states. A total of 408 fecal samples from calves aged 1-60 days were analyzed. An epidemiological questionnaire...
Autochthonous canine visceral leishmaniasis cases occur in Paraná state since 2...
Dias,Renata Cristina Ferreira; Pasquali,Aline Kuhn Sbruzzi; Thomaz-Soccol,Vanete; Pozzolo,Eliane Maria; Chiyo,Luciana; Alban,Silvana MariaAbstract The aim of this study was to confirm the emergence of canine visceral leishmaniasis among dogs in Foz do Iguaçu. The disease was diagnosed through the isolation and molecular identification of Leishmania infantum. In the first sample collection stage (2012), three lymph node aspirates and 46 buffy coat samples were obtained mostly from the dogs that were seroreagents for leishmaniasis. In the second sa...

Romanelli,Paulo Roberto; Matos,Andressa Maria Rorato Nascimento de; Pinto-Ferreira,Fernanda; Caldart,Eloiza Teles; Oliveira,Juliana Silva deAbstract The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies and their associated factors among goats in farms from the Paraná state, South Brazil. The serological analysis was performed by indirect ELISA on 629 goat serum samples collected from 32 farms distributed in five mesorregions from the state. Seropositivity was observed in 30.7% of the a...

Pinto-Ferreira,Fernanda; Pasquali,Aline Kuhn Sbruzzi; Thomaz-Soccol,Vanete; Mitsuka-Breganó,Regina; Caldart,Eloiza Teles; Leandro,André de SouzaAbstract This study evaluated the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum and Leptospira spp. in dogs from Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. Indirect immunofluorescent antibody test was used to detect antibodies anti-T.gondii and anti-N. caninum. Immunoenzymatic assay and microscopic serum agglutination were used for screening antibodies anti-T.gondii and anti-Leptospira spp., respectively. The resul...
