Effectiveness of deltamethrin-impregnated dog collars on the incidence of canin...
Vital, Wendel Coura; Leal, Gleisiane Gomes de Almeida; Marques, Luana Araújo; Pinheiro, Aimara da Costa; Carneiro, Mariângela; Reis, Alexandre BarbosaTo reduce morbidity and mortality caused by visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the Brazilian Visceral Leishmaniasis Control and Surveillance Program promotes the diagnosis and treatment of cases, vector control, euthanasia of seropositive dogs, and health education. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these measures is questionable as they lead to little reduction in the transmission of the disease. Thus, the effectiv...

Leal, Gleisiane Gomes de Almeida; Roatt, Bruno Mendes; Soares, Rodrigo Dian de Oliveira Aguiar; Carneiro, Cláudia Martins; Giunchetti, Rodolfo CordeiroVisceral leishmaniasis has a great impact on public health, and dogs are considered the maindomestic reservoir of Leishmania infantum, the causal parasite. In this study, 159 animalsnaturally infected by L. infantum from an endemic area of Brazil were evaluated through ananalysis of cellular responses, using flow cytometry, and of the hematological parameters.The results confirmed that disease progression is as...
Evaluation of change in canine diagnosis Protocol adopted by the visceral Leish...
Vital, Wendel Coura; Ker, Henrique Gama; Roatt, Bruno Mendes; Soares, Rodrigo Dian de Oliveira Aguiar; Leal, Gleisiane Gomes de AlmeidaThe techniques used for diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) in Brazil ELISA and IFAT have been extensively questioned because of the accuracy of these tests. A recent change in the diagnosis protocol excluded IFAT and included the Dual-Path Platform (DPP). We evaluated the prevalence and incidence rates of Leishmania spp. before and after the change in the protocol. In addition, based on our result...
Risk factors for seroconversion by Leishmania infantum in a cohort of dogs from...
Vital, Wendel Coura; Reis, Alexandre Barbosa; Fausto, Maria Arlene; Leal, Gleisiane Gomes de Almeida; Marques, Marcos José; Veloso, Vanja MariaVisceral leishmaniasis (VL) has recently emerged in various urban and peri-urban areas of Brazil and other countries. Understanding the urbanization of VL requires identification of risk factors associated with human and canine infection. To determine the predictors of risk for canine VL, a survey was conducted of 1,443 dogs, from which a cohort was selected (n = 455) and evaluated for approximately 26 months. ...
