Costa-Val,Adriane Pimenta da; Coura,Fernanda Morcatti; Barbieri,Jonata de Melo; Diniz,Luiza; Sampaio,Agnes; Reis,Jenner Karlisson Pimenta dosAbstract Blood samples and swabs from ocular conjunctiva and mouth were obtained from 64 cats. Of 64 serum samples, 19 were positive for Leishmania antibodies by ELISA (29.80%). Eight cats were positive by PCR (12.5%) in swab samples from mouth and/or ocular mucosa. Poor kappa agreement between serological and molecular results (k = 0.16) was obtained. From five positive PCR samples one was L. braziliensis and ...
Serological, molecular, and microscopic detection of Leishmania in cats (Felis ...
Coura,Fernanda Morcatti; Passos,Stephanie Karoline Pereira; Pelegrino,Marina de Oliveira França; Leme,Fabiola de Oliveira Paes; Paz,Gustavo FontesAbstract The role of cats in the epidemiological cycle of leishmaniasis remains unclear. To better understand the occurrence of leishmaniasis in cats, we studied the frequency of Leishmania in serum samples of 100 cats living in an endemic region for canine and human leishmaniasis by serological, parasitological, and molecular methods. Of the 100 cats, 54 were seropositive for Leishmania antibodies by immunoflu...

In dogs, the zinc - responsive dermatosis exists in two different forms, named as Syndrome I and II. The former occurs mainly in Nordic breed dogs, as these animals may present a genetic defect that interferes with intestinal zinc absorption. Syndrome II occurs in rapidly growing puppies fed zinc-deficient diets or diets containing an excess of ...
