Evaluation of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Infection in Dairy Goats

Abstract: Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic mycosis that affects mainly rural workers in Brazil and other Latin American countries. The participation of domestic and wild animal species in the ecoepidemiology of paracoccidioidomycosis is not well understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate P. brasiliensis infection in dairy goats. The humoral immune response to the gp43 antigen, the main antigen used for paracoccidioidomycosis serodiagnosis and seroe… Show more

“…Epidemiological studies of PCM in domestic and wild animals have been based mainly on immunological reactions using crude paracoccidioidin and purified gp43 as antigens [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]32]. Previously, our research group showed high rates of gp43 ELISA positivity in dogs [6], horses [9], sheep [12], goats [13], pigs [29], rabbits [30] and wild monkeys [15] from Paraná State, Brazil.…”

“…Previously, our research group showed high rates of gp43 ELISA positivity in dogs [6], horses [9], sheep [12], goats [13], pigs [29], rabbits [30] and wild monkeys [15] from Paraná State, Brazil. The present study reinforces that ELISA is a useful method for detection of P. brasiliensis infection in animals.…”

“…The rabbits experimentally infected with P. brasiliensis produced antibodies against gp43, suggesting that this antigen can be useful for epidemiological studies of PCM in this species. Other domestic animals such as dogs, cows, sheep, chickens and goats also showed humoral immune response against gp43 antigen after immunisation with P. brasiliensis cells.…”

“…The infection of domestic and wild animals by P. brasiliensis occurs frequently as reported in several epidemiological studies with dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, goats coati‐mundi, felines, monkeys and armadillos, although natural disease was reported only in two dogs, a cat and a southern two‐toed sloth …”
