In the last few years number of human cases American visceral leishmaniasis in Metropolitan Region Belo Horizonte (MRBH), Minas Gerais, Brazil has increased, indicating an elevation transmission rate disease. The total notified MRBH since 1994, when first case was identified, up to 1999 345 which 223 (65%) were from city itself, urbanization disease this region Gerais. age distribution shows a higher prevalence children 0-4 old, responsible for 28.9% notifications. Clinical and immunological...
The physical characteristics of the environment influence composition, distribution and behavior vectors mammalian hosts involved in transmission visceral leishmaniasis (VL), thereby affecting epidemiology disease. In Brazil, urbanization human VL is a recent phenomenon represents an issue particular concern to local health authorities. present study aimed establish degree spatial dependency between canine municipality Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, identify priority risk areas which stricter...
The existence of free-roaming dogs raises important issues in animal welfare and public health. A proper understanding these animals' ecology is useful as a necessary input to plan strategies control populations. present study addresses the population dynamics effectiveness sterilization unrestricted using capture recapture procedures suitable for open Every two months, over period 14 we captured, tagged, released recaptured regions city southeast region Brazil. In one animals were also...
The overpopulation of dogs and cats is a global concern that involves animal welfare public health, with awareness respect for the care companion animals, as well surgical intervention, being important controlling reproduction cats. This study aimed to report results obtained by neutering campaign in city Mãe do Rio, state Pará.

Background Evaluation of the quality evidence in systematic reviews (SRs) is essential for assertive decision-making. Although Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development and (GRADE) affords a consolidated approach rating level evidence, its application complex time-consuming. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to overcome these barriers. Design Analytical experimental study. Objective The objective develop appraise proof-of-concept AI-powered tool semiautomation an adaptation...
Although cases of leishmaniasis co-infection have been described in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients as well those who undergone organ transplants, to our knowledge, the present report is first documented case simultaneous cutaneous, visceral and ocular due Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis a transplant patient. The patient had using immunosuppressive drugs since receiving transplanted kidney. clinical signs included fever, thoracic pain, hepatosplenomegaly, leucopenia anemia....
Identification of the zoonotic reservoir is important for leishmaniasis control program. A number (wild) animal species may serve as hosts, including opossum Didelphis marsupialis. survey carried out in specimens (n = 111) from metropolitan region Belo Horizonte, an focus human Brazil, reported. All animals were serologically tested with indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and direct agglutination tests (DAT) based on L. (L.) donovani or (V.) braziliensis antigen. sub-population 20)...
The direct agglutination test (DAT) based on a freeze-dried antigen and the rK39 dipstick were evaluated for sero-diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). sensitivity specificity both tests determined using sera from confirmed VL patients (n = 21), healthy controls 19) with other infectious diseases 42). DAT had 100%. 85.7% 82%. Both also used to screen blood samples 15) serum suspects 61). found all positive tested 98.4% positive. In contrast, detected in 9/15 (60%) antibodies against...
The transmission of Leishmania involves several species sand flies that are closely associated with various parasites and reservoirs, differing cycles in Brazil. A study on the phlebotomine composition has been conducted municipality Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil, an endemic area for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), which intense occurrence visceral (VL) cases. In order to populations their seasonality, CDC light traps (HP model) were distributed 15 houses presented at least one case CL or...
