Popis: Trypanosoma is a hemoflagellate protozoan that infects a variety of animal species and is transmitted in different ways. It is a zoonosis and anthropozoonosis of great importance in veterinary medicine. The present work aims to describe the clinical and laboratory alterations in a free-living dog in a rural area, infected by Trypanosoma spp, treated in the municipality of Sinop, north of Mato Grosso. Blood samples were collected for blood count, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, creatinine, creatine kinase concentrations. The results found were a normochromic microcytic anemia, lymphopenia, trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma spp. ALT and creatinine measurements were normal, but the serum creatine kinase level was above normal limits. Imidocarb dipropionate at a dose of 7 mg / kg subcutaneously in a single dose was prescribed.
