From a canine case of american cutaneous leishmaniasis in the locality of Santa Rita de Cássia, municipality of Barra Mansa, Rio de Janeiro, a serological survey was performed on 177 dogs and 43 cats. Evaluation of the canine serum samples showed that 10% had a positive reaction in the indirect immunofluorescence test and 10.7% in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Among the feline serum samples tested, none of the animals had a positive reaction in the indirect immunofluorescence test and only one (2.4%) showed a positive reaction in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The detection of an autochthonous case of Leishmania braziliensis in Barra Mansa gives warning that a focus of american cutaneous leishmaniasis is possibly becoming established in this region.
在里约热内卢州巴拉曼萨市圣丽塔·德卡西亚地区的一例犬类美洲皮肤利什曼病病例中，对177只狗和43只猫进行了血清学调查。犬血清样本评估显示，10%在间接免疫荧光试验中呈阳性反应，10.7%在酶联免疫吸附测定中呈阳性反应。在所检测的猫血清样本中，没有动物在间接免疫荧光试验中呈阳性反应，只有一只（2.4%）在酶联免疫吸附测定中呈阳性反应。在巴拉曼萨检测到一例本地巴西利什曼原虫病例，这警示该地区可能正在形成一个美洲皮肤利什曼病疫源地。
