“…Mesmo sendo comum o achado de canídeos parasitados por Leishmania sp. (Silva et al 2000, Gomes et al 2002, Luppi et al 2008, Lima et al 2009, Souza et al 2010, dentre estes C. thous (Courtenay et al 1996), pelo menos um estudo aponta que esta espécie, comparada aos cães domésticos, teve um papel irrelevante como reservatório da doença na Ilha de Marajó, Pará, Brasil (Courtenay et al 2002).…”

In South America, some wild canids are considered natural reservoirs of Leishmania chagasi. The immunological response of wild canids to Leishmania is not well understood, and the development of diagnostic methods is necessary for such purpose. In the present study, the standardization of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the serodiagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazilian species of wild canids is described. Serum and plasma samples from 12 captive wild canids were studied: seven from maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus), three from hoary foxes (Lycalopex vetulus), and two from crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous). Samples from C. brachyurus and L. vetulus, both captive in an endemic area for VL, presenting clinical disease and positivity in Indirect Immunofluorescence Reaction and Polymerase Chain Reaction tests were used as positive controls. The antibody anti-dog IgG and Protein A, both conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, were compared in indirect ELISA tests which detected four (04/12) and three (03/12) seropositive C. brachyurus for anti-Leishmania antibodies, respectively. The ELISA tests were able to clearly distinguish negative from positive samples, as the mean optical density (OD) of the negative samples was 4.8 and 15.5 times lower than those of the positive ones either using anti-dog IgG and Protein A, respectively. Samples from three ELISA -positive C. brachyurus were analyzed by Western blotting and identified immunodominant bands of 19, 22, 24, 45 and 66 kDa, among 22 protein bands detected. The ELISAs with protein A and anti-dog IgG showed respectively excellent (Kappa = 1.0; p<0.001) and moderate (Kappa = 0.8; p<0.0015) agreement with the Western blotting assay. The ELISA tests showed to be adequate for screening studies to identify antibody responses, thus indicating contact with Leishmania infection by wild canids.INDEX TERMS: Wild canids, Leishmania, visceral leishmaniasis, ELISA, protein A.

“…Although this species have been getting attention in Parasitology recently (CATENACCI, GRISE, DA SILVA et al, 2010;LUX HOPPE, ARAÚJO DE LIMA, TEBALDI et al, 2010;NAVA, VENZAL, LABRUNA, et al 2010;SOUZA, ALMEIDA ADO, FREITAS et al 2010), we could find information in other fields of study such as anatomy (BARISSON, LOURO, DIAS et al, 2012). Classic titles, describe the anatomy of arterial system of the domestic animals in details (EVANS and CHRISTENSEN, 1979;GETTY, 1986;KÖNIG and LIEBICH, 2011) but not in wild carnivores.…”

Despite it is widely distributed in South America, there are few data about the anatomy of the Crab-eating fox. Once the domestic dog can be used as model for clinical and surgical approaches, the anatomical differences found between the Crab-eating fox and the domestic dog are important. The aim of this study is to describe the supplied areas of the femoral artery and its respective branches in Crab-eating Fox (Cerdocyon thous) and compare them with domestic dogs. Two pelvic limbs from one adult male animal originated from the Niteroi Zoo were used. The vascular system was filled with neoprene latex and fixed with 10% formalin to make the dissection easier. The results displayed similar arrangement for the branches of the femoral artery of the Crabeating Fox in comparison with domestic dogs, except for the Lateral circumflex femoral artery. This artery not only supplied the Satorius muscle, Quadriceps femoris muscle but also the ventral part of the lateral abdominal wall. This study brings data to applied anatomy and biodiversity.

Assim como a LTA, é considerada, primariamente, como uma zoonose, sendo provocada pelo parasita Leishmania infantum nos países da América do Sul (SOUZA et al, 2010).…”

RESUMOEste texto descreve a realização de atividades educativas com crianças, jovens e adultos de escolas públicas do município de Viçosa, Alagoas, sobre as principais formas de controle e prevenção de doenças transmitidas por vetores biológicos, com um foco maior em dengue e leishmanioses. Inicialmente, foi aplicado um questionário epidemiológico com moradores locais para investigar o nível de conhecimento da população sobre o assunto abordado. A partir da análise dos resultados, a equipe desenvolveu e apresentou palestras e fôlderes sobre as doenças e suas principais formas de prevenção. Foram exibidas, ainda, animações educativas de consulta pública de acordo com a faixa etária dos participantes, sendo divididas para o público infantil e o de jovens/adultos. Pode-se notar, ao final das apresentações, a interação dos participantes com os temas explanados por meio de questionamentos e esclarecimentos orais sobre as doenças apresentadas.Palavras-chave: Atividades educativas. Mosquitos. Flebotomíneos. ABSTRACTThis paper describes the educational activities carried out with children, young people and adults from public schools in Viçosa, Alagoas state, Brazil.
