| Popis: | portuguesO estudo avaliou a ocorrencia de Leishmania spp. em equideos do municipio de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, regiao Sudeste do Brasil. Amostras de soro foram coletadas de 257 equideos clinicamente saudaveis em Uberlândia, para avaliar a presenca de anticorpos contra Leishmania spp. pela tecnica de reacao de imunofluorescencia indireta - RIFI. Afora isto, um inquerito epidemiologico foi realizado para avaliar possiveis fatores de risco (especie, idade, sexo, atividade economica e contato com animais domesticos e selvagens) associado com a presenca de anticorpos contra Leishmania spp. A soroprevalencia total contra Leishmania spp. foi 24,1% (62/257), representando 22,7% (55/242) de equinos, 50% (4/8) de mulas e 42,9%(3/7) de poneis. A variavel especie foi o unico fator de risco significativo na soroprevalencia da Leishmania spp. Palavras-chave: spp.; equideos; sorologia; epidemiologia. EnglishThis study evaluated the occurrence of Leishmania spp. in equids from Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. Serum samples from 257 healthy equids of Uberlândia were assessed for the presence of antibodies against Leishmania spp. by using the indirect fluorescent-antibody test. Additionally, an epidemiological survey was done to evaluate the possible risk factors (species of equids, age, gender, economic activity, and contact with domestic and wild animals) associated with the presence of antibodies against Leishmania spp. The total seroprevalence against Leishmania spp. was 24.1% (62/257); representing seroprevalence levels of 22.7% (55/242) in horses, 50% (4/8) in mules, and 42.9% (3/7) in ponies from all regions evaluated. The species of equid was the only factor that contributed to an elevated seroprevalence of Leishmania spp. Key words: equids; serology; epidemiology. |
