Doenças de notificação compulsória em animais de produção no período de 2011 a 2014 no estado do Maranhão

Abstract

ResumoO objetivo do estudo foi realizar levantamento das doenças de notificação compulsória (DNC's) em animais de produção ocorridas no período de 2011 a 2014 no Estado do Maranhão, utilizando os condensados estaduais dos informes mensais, formulário de investigação de doenças inicial (FORM-INs) AbstractThe aim of the study was conducted survey of notifiable diseases (DNC's) in farm animals occurred in the period from 2011 to 2014 in the state of Maranhão, using state condensates of monthly reports, initial disease investigation form (FORM-INs) and complementary disease research form (FORM-COMs) of the State Agricultural Defense Agency. During this period, they evaluated 165 cases of suspected DNC's, classified into three categories: (I) nerve disease (EN), (II) vesicular diseases (EV) and (III) other diseases (DE). During the study period, the EN led notifications (n= 119; 72.12%), followed by EV (n = 30; 18,19) and DE (n = 16; 9.69%), the three distributed a vast area of Maranhão territory. Considering the suspected cases observed in this study, the definitive diagnosis of 63 DNC's was established, including rabies, botulism, clostridial diseases, smallpox, stomatitis vesicular type Indiana III, MCF, ectima contagious and glanders, with the involvement of cattle, horses, donkeys, mules and goats. The remaining patients (n = 102; 61.81%) after thorough investigation, were classified as non-traumatic diseases or infectious origin and discarded the possibility of DNC's. Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that the DNC's are present in the state of Maranhão. However, the incipient active surveillance hinders a real assessment of the problem in the state.Keywords: diagnosis, herds, infectious diseases, retrospective study. IntroduçãoAs doenças de notificação compulsória (DNC's) são definidas como doenças inscritas em uma lista pela autoridade veterinária e cuja presença deve ser levada ao seu conhecimento assim que for detectada ou observada uma suspeita, em conformidade com a regulamentação nacional (OIE, 2011, Brasil, 2013.Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos obtidos na área da saúde animal nas últimas décadas, as DNC's, são observadas e configuram como um fator limitante para a produção animal e um fator complicador para a saúde pública, principalmente aquelas que não dispõem de mecanismos eficazes de prevenção e controle ou que apresentam uma associação com causas ambientais, sociais e econômicas para sua ocorrência (Lima, 2008).

Historical highlights regarding glanders, from 2007 to 2017, in the state of Maranhão, Brazil

“…Although, Pará and Maranhão are neighboring states, the techniques used may have been the main difference between the results, since the technique performed in Pará was ELISAi, a technique with greater sensitivity than the CFT. However, the results from our retrospective study are similar to those from a survey carried out in the Maranhão lowlands (Baixada Maranhense), in which the CFT showed that 0.48% of the horses were positive (CHAVES et al, 2016).…”

“…It is characterized by chronic and acute stages, and leads to notable economic losses, with sociocultural importance. Although, the first records on glanders disease in Brazil dated from the beginning of the 19 th century, through importation of equids from Europe, cases are now being detected again, as seen in the state of Maranhão (KORTEPETER et al, 2001;VAN ZANDT et al, 2013;CHAVES et al, 2016). These infectious and contagious conditions are caused by Burkholderia mallei, a facultative intracellular…”

Bacterial pneumonia in horses associated with Escherichia coli infection: report of five cases

“…Another disease that was included in the list of differential diagnoses was glanders. It is a reemerging disease in the country with outbreaks in several states in the Northeast and Southeast (Chaves et al, 2016). According to Ramos et al (2021), between 2010 and 2019, 69 cases of glanders were diagnosed in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, making this disease one of the differential diagnoses of diseases of the respiratory system.…”

Avaliação epidemiológica do mormo no Brasil

“…Este fato pode estar relacionado com a presença maciça ainda nesta região do uso dos equídeos como meio de transporte e trabalho, aliado a falhas de manejo sanitário, o que torna os animais mais propensos ao contágio. Vários estudos vêm sendo desenvolvidos no Brasil para identificação dos casos, surtos e estudo da prevalência da doença (Machado et al, 2013;Chaves et al, 2015;Chaves et al, 2016). Devido a gravidade da afecção para a saúde humana e animal, medidas preventivas eficazes devem ser tomadas para conter o avanço da doença no Brasil.…”
