The efficacy of conjunctival swab (CS) as a sampling method for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) diagnosis by PCR asymptomatic dogs was evaluated. CS compared to blood samples (B) and skin biopsies (SB), two less invasive potentially useful massive screening dogs. Thirty dogs, with serological parasitological positive tests, were used. analyzed methods: kDNA PCR-hybridization ITS-1 nPCR. DNA sample volume used 1.0 microL 10.0 respectively. Using the able detected parasite in 24/30 (80%) using...
Background We evaluated kDNA PCR/hybridization and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) targeting the gene of DNA polymerase Leishmania infantum for CVL diagnosis assessment parasite load in clinical samples obtained invasively non-invasively. Methodology/Principal Findings Eighty naturally infected dogs from an endemic urban area Brazil were used. Animals divided into two groups based on presence or absence sings. Skin biopsies, bone marrow, blood conjunctival swabs collected submitted to L....
A toxocaríase é uma doença zoonótica causada pelo parasito Toxocara canis, que tem como habitat o intestino delgado de cães. infecção humana ocorre através da ingestão ovos embrionados presentes no ambiente contaminado, consumo alimentos crus ou beber água contaminada com do parasito. Essa enfermidade ampla distribuição geográfica e a falta precauções controle doença, juntamente condições inadequadas vida dos animais, ampliam os riscos transmissão. Portanto, medidas profiláticas,...
