“…The prevalence of 12.32% for FIV and 5.80% for FeLV in Fortaleza-CE varied from the results found, through serological methods, in other cities of Brazil: 0.78% and 0.36% in São Paulo (Santos et al, 2013), 5.63% and 0.33% in Araçatuba-SP (Sobrinho et al, 2011) for FIV and FeLV, respectively, and 38.3% in Pelotas and Rio Grande-RS for FeLV (Meinerz et al, 2010). Felines with FIV and FeLV detected by PCR or nested PCR were 4.14% and 47.0% in Belo Horizonte (Teixeira et al, 2007;Coelho et al, 2011), respectively, and 15.70% for FIV in Pelotas -RS (Silva et al, 2014), and there was no presence of co-infection of these diseases in these studies.…”

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) are important etiologic agents of immunosuppressive diseases in felines. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of these retroviruses in domestic cats in Fortaleza, Ceará and the epidemiological factors associated with these infections. Between 2015 and 2016, 138 blood samples were collected and tested for FIV and FeLV by the enzyme immunoadsorption assay (ELISA). Parameters such as breed, gender, age, reproductive status, multi-cat environment, outdoor access and clinical manifestations were evaluated. The results showed that 12.32% were positive for FIV, 5.80% for FeLV and 1.45% for co-infection (FIV/FeLV). FIV+ animals were mostly mixed breed, neutered male adult cats, with indoor lifestyle and living in a multi-cat household. The most common clinical manifestation observed was disorders of the oral cavity. Factors found to increase the risk for FeLV seropositivity include mixed breed, young, spayed female cats, indoor lifestyle living in a multi-cat household were the most common epidemiological factors observed. The most common clinical manifestation was anorexia and apathy. The prevalence of these viruses were relatively high, compared with other region of Brazil. This study demonstrated that mixed breed, castrated, multi-cat environment and indoor lifestyle animals are of greater relevance for FIV and FeLV infection diseases. Factors related to cat demographics and health such as age, sex and type of household are important predictors for seropositive status to FeLV or FIV in Fortaleza. High prevalence of FeLV or FIV observed in our study is of concern, in view of the immunosuppressive potential of the two pathogens.

“…The prevalence of FIP (3.7%; 19/520) identified during this investigation was similar to that observed in other reports from Brazil, where a prevalence of 1.12% (49/4,357) was described in São Paulo (SANTOS et al, 2013) and 2.03% (13/638) in Rio Grande do Sul (OLIVEIRA et al, 2003). Epidemiological studies done in other countries have revealed prevalence levels of FIP that varied between 0.52% (60/11,535) in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA (PESTEANU-SOMOGYI et al, 2006), and in 1.41% (231/16,275) from Munich, Germany (RIEMER et al, 2016).…”

The prevalence levels identified in Brazil might be related to the fact that cat owners do not frequently submit their pets for necropsy evaluation at veterinary hospitals due to financial constraints (SANTOS et al, 2013), which probably underestimates the prevalence of this disease.…”

“…There is little information relative to the epidemiology of FIP in Brazil, with studies based predominantly on disease prevalence (OLIVEIRA et al, 2003;SANTOS et al, 2013). This study describes the epidemiological data and pathological findings observed in a population of cats with FIP, and estimated the degree of tissue destruction in organs frequently affected in this disease.…”

“…Epidemiological studies of FIP have been reported from different countries, demonstrating that cats with less one-year-old and cats living in shelters are more predisposed to contracting FIP, including Australia (NORRIS et al, 2005;BELL et al, 2006;WORTHING et al, 2012), Austria (BENETKA et al, 2004), Brazil (OLIVEIRA et al, 2003;SANTOS et al, 2013), Japan (TANAKA et al, 2015), Turkey (TEKELIOGLU et al, 2015), USA (HARTMANN, 2005;PESTEANU-SOMOGYI et al, 2006;PEDERSEN, 2009), and Germany (RIEMER et al, 2016). However, none of these have investigated the degree of tissue destruction associated with FIP.…”

The study describes the epidemiological and pathological findings observed in a population of cats with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and estimated the degree of tissue destruction in the kidney, brain, and liver. A retrospective study was performed to determine the number of cats with a histopathological diagnosis of FIP between 2005-2016, at the Laboratory of Animal Pathology, Universidade Estadual de Londrina. The histopathological alterations in selected organs (brain, liver and kidneys) associated with FIP were described and then compared with a scoring system to estimate the degree of tissue destruction. FIP was diagnosed in 3.7% (19/520) of all cats necropsied during the 11-year period; sexual and breed predominance were not identified. Cats that were less than one-year-old were more frequently diagnosed with FIP. Pyogranulomatous nephritis with vasculitis (94.7%; 18/19), coagulative renal necrosis (84.2%; 16/19), hepatocellular necrosis (57.9; 11/19), and necrotizing leptomeningitis (47.4%; 9/19) were the most frequent lesions observed. Moreover, FIP-associated renal lesions were more severe and frequently observed when compared with those in the brain and liver. It is proposed that necrosis be considered as an important lesion associated with FIP that should be included in the histopathological diagnosis of this disease. Key words: Coagulative necrosis. Feline. Histopathology. Lesional score. Pyogranulomas. Vasculitis. ResumoEste estudo descreve os achados epidemiológicos e patológicos observados em uma população de gatos com peritonite infecciosa felina (PIF) e mensurou o grau de lesão tecidual no rim, cérebro e fígado. Realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo para determinar o número de gatos com diagnóstico histopatológico de PIF entre 2005-2016, no Laboratório de Patologia Animal, na Universidade Estadual de Londrina. As alterações histopatológicas associadas à PIF em órgãos selecionados (cérebro, fígado e rins) foram descritas e comparadas com um sistema de pontuação para estimar o grau de lesão tecidual. A PIF foi diagnosticada em 3,7% (19/520) de todos os gatos necropsiados durante o período de 11 anos. Não houve diferença estatística para sexo e raça. Gatos que tinham menos de um ano de idade foram frequentemente diagnosticados com PIF. As lesões mais frequentes observadas foram nefrite piogranulomatosa com vasculite (94,7%; 18/19), necrose renal coagulante (84,2%, 16/19), necrose hepatocelular (57,9%; 11) e leptomeningite necrotizante (47,9%; 9/19). Além disso, as lesões renais associadas ao PIF foram mais graves e frequentes quando comparadas com as do cérebro e fígado. Propõe-se que a necrose seja considerada como uma importante lesão associada a PIF que deve ser incluída no diagnóstico histopatológico desta doença. Palavras-chave: Necrose coagulativa. Felino.

The feline leukemia virus (FeLV), causes a fatal disease for the Felidae family and is one of the main retroviral diseases in felines, and therefore has a diagnostic and preventive interest in animal health. Objective: of the study was to determine the frequency of FeLV by being diagnosed in four municipalities in the south of the Aburrá Valley, Colombia, using the records of the area diagnostic centers.
