Resumo
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and epidemiological aspects of
canine visceral leishmaniasis in Lago Norte and Sobradinho II, administrative
regions of the Federal District. Census surveys were conducted in four localities
of the Federal District where the data were collected and blood sampled from
5,551 dogs in Lago Norte and from 272 dogs in Varjão and from 836 dogs from
Bananal and Engenho Velho communities in Sobradinho II. We evaluated age,
sex, breed, presence of clinical signs, wooded homes, the presence of the
garden, organic material, home situation and the presence of chicken in the
properties. The sera samples were submitted to indirect immunofluorescence
test (IFA), and samples with reagent titers greater than or equal to 1:40 were
considered positive. Prevalences of 6.66% (17/255), 13.13% (44/335), 15.40%
(61/396) and 22.32% (1013/4538), were found in Varjão, Engenho Velho, Bananal
and Lago Norte. Regarding age, 10.90% (70/643) were aged up to one year,
considered a young population, 22.40% (619/2763) were at one to six years of
age, considered as a middle-aged population, and 24.00% (297/1236) were older
than six years of age, corresponding to old animals. Regarding the presence or
absence of clinical signs, 30.31% (238/785) had some clinical changes and
18.61% (846/4544) showed no clinical changes. One can conclude that this
canine visceral leishmanias is distributed in different regions of the Federal
District being the location, the age and the presence of clinical changes the
highest risk factors The knowledge gained on the prevalence of leishmaniasis in
dogs will allow the establishment of effective strategies for control actions.
