“…Leishmaniasis in cats coinfected with FIV and FeLV has been reported in the literature (Grevot et al 2005;Duarte et al 2010). However, immunosuppression caused by infection by these viruses and the relationship with feline leishmaniasis should be further investigated (Poli et al 2002;Grevot et al (Kaneko et al 1997). 2005).…”

“…However, immunosuppression caused by infection by these viruses and the relationship with feline leishmaniasis should be further investigated (Poli et al 2002;Grevot et al (Kaneko et al 1997). 2005). In this work, one of the animals with VL tested positive for FIV, and it is suspected that retroviral coinfections increase the susceptibility of cats to leishmaniasis, being the only one to present clinic manifestation (weight loss).…”

S U M M A R YFeline leishmaniasis has been reported in various parts of the world in recent years, occurring mainly in areas where zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is endemic. The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of natural infection by Leishmania spp. in domestic cats (Felis catus) in the municipality of Teresina, Piauí state, Brazil, an endemic area of VL in Brazil. The prevalence of infection by Leishmania spp. in the population under study was 4% (3/83) in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and 4% (3/83) by smear observation and isolation in a culture medium, using popliteal lymphnode sample. Only one of the three infected cats was positive for ELISA, also being positive for feline immunodeficiency virus. In the haematologic parameters, normocytic normochromic anaemia was the most common change, being present in the three infected animals. In the biochemical measurements also were observed alterations in infected animals. The Leishmania spp. strains isolated from the culture medium were characterized as L. infantum. The presence of L. infantum infection in cats in the city of Teresina, an area endemic for VL, suggests the possible involvement of these animals in the epidemiological chain of L. infantum in high-transmission areas.

“…The occurrence of Leishmania infection in animals without immunossupression suggests that other factors must determine the susceptibility, although the literature has reported cases of leishmaniasis in cats positive for both viruses, whose action is essentially immunosuppressive (POLI et al 2002;GREVOT et al 2005). In theory, this favors parasitic infection in these animals, which have high degree of natural immunological resistance (VITA et al 2005).…”

The seroprevalence of infection by Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, and Leishmania spp. was detected through an indirect immunofluorescence in 70 cats from the Andradina Municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil. Anti-T. gondii antibodies (titer >64) were detected in 15.7% (11/70) of animals, whereas positivity for N. caninum (titer 16) was not observed in any animal. Of the cats from urban and rural areas, 10.4% (5/48) and 27.2% (6/22) were positive for T. gondii, respectively. Breed, age, food, and contact with animals of other species were significant for considering the positivity for T. gondii (P ≤ 0.0001). Cats having access to streets (17.1%, 11/64), cats cohabiting with rats (19.6%, 10/51), and cats feeding on homemade food and raw milk (27.2%, 6/22) were positive for T. gondii. In addition, 4.2% (3/70) of the cats were positive for Leishmania spp. by ELISA technique and negative by IFAT without coinfection with T. gondii and Leishmania spp. There was no serological positivity against feline immunodeficiency virus or feline leukemia virus. In conclusion, T. gondii infection in part of the feline population from Andradina is not linked to immunosuppressions or coinfections but probably to postnatal infection in association with the type of diet and presence of rats.

“…Visceral forms of disease have also been described in cats and include weight loss, dehydration, lymphadenopathy, lymphomegaly and hepatic, splenic, respiratory and digestive disorders (Ozon et al, 1998;Hervás et al, 1999;Pennisi et al, 2004;Grevot et al, 2005;Leiva et al, 2005;Vita et al, 2005;Ayllon et al, 2008;Nasereddin et al, 2008;Silva et al, 2010).…”
