INTRODUCTION
The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with canine visceral leishmaniasis in Paraíba State.
METHODS
Blood samples were collected from 411 dogs in four municipalities of Paraíba State. The seroprevalence was assessed by using ELISA.
RESULTS
The seroprevalence ranged from 7.2% to 20%. The risk factors that were associated with the disease were the presence of ticks and contact with other animals.
CONCLUSIONS
The seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis is high in Paraíba, indicating the need for health authorities to resume visceral leishmaniasis control activities. The ruralization of suburban areas in the region tends to homogenize the risk factors between suburban and rural areas.
引言
本研究的目的是确定帕拉伊巴州犬内脏利什曼病的血清流行率及相关危险因素。
方法
从帕拉伊巴州四个市的411只犬采集血样。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法评估血清流行率。
结果
血清流行率在7.2%至20%之间。与该病相关的危险因素是蜱虫的存在以及与其他动物接触。
结论
帕拉伊巴州犬内脏利什曼病的血清流行率很高，这表明卫生当局有必要恢复内脏利什曼病的防控活动。该地区郊区的乡村化倾向于使郊区和农村地区的危险因素趋于一致。
