A relevant problem for the control of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is the lack of laboratory tests with good accuracy to diagnose the infection, particularly in dogs. Dogs are the main reservoir and source of infection of the causing agent of VL in urban areas in Brazil, Leishmania infantum chagasi. Therefore, VL control in urban areas is based on actions taken on these hosts. To identify …
Sirenians are monogastric herbivorous aquatic mammals of tropical and subtropical distribution, with occurrence of two species in Brazil: Trichechus inunguis or Amazonian manatee, occurring throughout the Amazon Basin, and Trichechus manatus manatus or Antillean manatee, which inhabits coastal systems and tropical and subtropical rivers in the area of the West Atlantic from the Bahamas to…
Toxoplasma gondii is considered as the primary cause of congenital disease, miscarriage and stillbirth in humans and farm animals. In congenital diseases neurological manifestations such as eye disease and hydrocephalus are common. Toxoplasma gondii infections do not always result in clinical manifestations. Rather, it is quite frequent occurrence of asymptomatic infections in both animal…
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a subunit vaccine against leishmaniasis in dogs as well as the use of a repellent insecticide-impregnated collar through a cohort study to be conducted in two regions, being one with a high transmission and the other with a low transmission of canine visceral leishmaniasis. To this end, we propose the construction of eight cohorts, four of …

The Sarcocystidae family belongs to the Apicomplexa phylum and is composed of three subfamilies and their respective genera: Sarcocystinae (Frenkelia and Sarcocystis); Cystoisosporinae (Cystoisospora); and Toxoplasmatinae (Besnoitia, Hammondia, Neospora, and Toxoplasma). The life cycle of Sarcocystids is characterized by definitive and intermediate hosts, in which infections are generally…
Emerging infectious and parasitic diseases may have serious implications for the conservation status of vulnerable wild species, and it is well known that aquatic mammals are exposed to a wide variety of infections. However, there is a shortage of scientific information regarding the prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) and in Antillean manat…
Giardia duodenalis is a protozoan of worldwide distribution responsible for causing enteric infections in a wide variety of mammals, including humans. It is considered a species complex, in which the isolates can be classified into seven distinct genetic groupings (assemblages A, B, C, D, E, F, G), but morphologically indistinguishable. The genetic groups of G. duodenalis have different s…
