Resumo
We report the occurrence of tungiasis in 21 dogs raised at six different farms
in the municipality of Jataí, State of Goiás, from May to September, 1998.
The animais presented diffículties remaining in the standing position and
were often licking their feet. Moreover, they also presented a diminished
response to their master's commands. Animais were examined, and we
verified smalí and slightly yellowish nodular lesions with dark centered dots
in the pad tissue. Ectoparasites found in the inner part of these lesions were
identified as Tunga penetrans mature females. We observed that dogs had
frequent and close contact with pigs and cattle in ali studied properties. This
fact in addition to the lack of information by the owners were regarded as the
most important burdens for control of the infestation in the region. Ali dogs were treated with triclorfon 4% solution which was applied directly to the
sore sites. The animais recovered within approximately 20 days.
