“…The coinfection of these agents is common, as both use the same vector for infection of the host (SANTOS et al, 2013). The occurrence of these pathogens is similar to that obtained by Witter et al (2013), who studied symptomatic canines within the same area. It is important to note that the canines in this study had no apparent clinical symptoms of the infection.…”

The transfusion of blood components is common in a veterinary clinic; however, the safety of this therapeutic measure cannot always be guaranteed. Studies show a high risk of haemoparasite transmission during blood transfusion in canines. These parasites include Leishmania chagasi, Anaplasma platys, and Ehrlichia canis, which are endemic to the city of Cuiabá. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of L. chagasi, Trypanosoma cruzi, Babesia (canis) vogeli, A. platys, and E. canis in canine blood donor candidates, and identify possible factors associated with the infection of these agents. Sixty-six canines were evaluated using serologic and molecular tests, for the presence of the Leishmania species. While one canine sample showed a positive result for L. chagasi with indirect fluorescent antibody test, with titer of 1:40, and seven canine samples were positive using DPP, all other samples were negative when using PCR and ELISA. All canines were negative for T. cruzi when using PCR. The B. (c.) vogeli infection was identified in one canine and A. platys was identified in six canines. E. canis was identified in 17 canines, with a prevalence of 25.7%. There were no significant factors associated with the infection of the pathogens investigated. Given the observation of infection, even in the absence of clinical symptoms, emphasis must be placed on the need for the use of more sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for the screening of donor canines.

“…Melo et al (2011) reported a prevalence of 74.4% in urban and of 67.5% in rural dogs (overall frequency of 70.9%), whereas Witter et al (2013) informed a seroprevalence of 70.1%; in this last study the frequency of E. canis infection was of 23.3% by PCR. On the other hand, also in Brazil a prevalence of E. canis of 41.5% by IFA and of 9.4% was found in cats (Braga et al, 2014).…”

Infection by Ehrlichia canis in dogs causes the worldwide tick-borne disease called canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME), and the presence of E. canis has been serologically demonstrated in all continents, with prevalence ranging from 0.2 to 80%. In southern Mexico, a prevalence of 44% was found, whereas in the northwest part of the country it varies from 21 to 49%. In the present study, a commercial kit for the detection of antibodies against E. canis was used in 391 dogs from the city of Monterrey, which is located at northeast of Mexico. A total of 54 samples were positive, giving a prevalence of 13%. According to sex, prevalence was 14% for males and 13% for females. Positive animals varied in age from 21 to 132 months old and only 10 of them presented ticks. As in the southern and northwest parts of Mexico, CME is present in northeast region, although with a lower prevalence.

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar os achados hematológicos em sangue periférico e medula óssea em cães infectados por Ehrlichia spp. e Anaplasma spp.. Avaliaram-se 44 cães com suspeita clínica de hemoparasitose, de diferentes raças, idades e de ambos os sexos, submetidos ao exame sorológico pelo SNAP Test, a análises hematológicas e mielograma. Dos 44 cães avaliados, 63,6% (28/44) foram sorologicamente reagentes, sendo 57,1% (16/28) positivos para Ehrlichia spp., 21,4% (6/28) para Anaplasma spp. e 21,4% (6/28) de coinfectados. A trombocitopenia foi a alteração hematológica mais frequente em cães positivos para Ehrlichia spp., presente em 93,7% (15/16) (p=0,015) dos animais, enquanto a anemia macrocítica e hipocrômica prevaleceu em 66,7% (4/6) (p=0,010) dos animais infectados por Anaplasma spp.. Ao mielograma, 62,5% (10/16) (p=0,005) dos animais positivos para Ehrlichia spp. apresentaram hipoplasia medular e 75,0% (12/16) (p=0,044) diminuição do índice mieloide:eritroide (M:E). Nos animais positivos para Anaplasma spp., destacou-se a hiperplasia da série eritroide em 50,0% (3/6) (p=0,022) dos cães. Não houve associação significativa em nenhuma das análises com o grupo coinfecção (p>0,05). Os resultados obtidos neste estudo permitem inferir que o somatório de métodos laboratoriais é essencial na caracterização das hemoparasitoses em cães, agregando valor e permitindo uma efetiva consolidação do diagnóstico relacionado a essas doenças.
