Leishmaniasis is an endemic disease present in 98 countries.In Brazil, the northeast region accounts for approximately half of cases humans, and has experienced increased number positive dogs.In this study, we investigated epidemiology canine leishmaniasis city Ilhéus, Bahia, using serological molecular techniques evaluated possible environmental risk factors associated clinical signs.Blood samples were collected from 560 dogs urban peri-urban areas northeastern Brazil.Genomic DNA was...
Wild animals have an ecological function and can serve as sentinels to identify infectious agents indicators of environmental health. Among the zoonotic pathogens, Salmonella spp. deserve special attention due their high worldwide prevalence ubiquity hosts. With aim investigating presence in wild birds from Atlantic Forest southern Bahia, Brazil, we collected 114 fecal samples (14 families) between 2016 2017. Fecal were by means cloacal swab subjected microbiological culture isolate serotype...
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency antibodies Toxoplasma gondii present in wild mammals that were trap captured forest fragments State Bahia, northeastern Brazil. A total 368 individuals (246 rodents, 104 marsupials and 18 bats) using live catch traps. Serum samples tested modified agglutination test, with a cut-off point at 1:25 dilution. occurrence T. 10.6% (39/368), being 16.3% (17/104) marsupials, 8.5% (21/246) 5.5% (1/18) bats. Antibody titers varied...
Ticks parasitize a wide variety of wild animals, including amphibians and reptiles. In addition to the possibility microorganism transmission these hosts, ticks can also cause severe bleeding, high parasitism lead death. Therefore, knowing diversity parasitizing reptiles is important for conservation preservation measures vertebrates. present study, we report by in from different Brazilian biomes (Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado Atlantic Forest). were collected deposited Herpetological Collection...
Salmonella spp. are known to persist in the environment. Wild animals believed act as important reservoirs, with antimicrobial resistance frequently occurring However, little is about role of wildlife Bahia a reservoir for Brazil. This study aimed isolate and characterize from Atlantic Forest Caatinga biomes considering indicators such animal species, degree anthropization, sampling area, feeding habits. Convenience characterization were conducted, followed by microbiological molecular...
