• Abstract

  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…

• Abstract

  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…

  A relevant problem for the control of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is the absence of laboratory tests with good accuracy to diagnose the infection, particularly in dogs. Dogs are the main reservoirs and sources of parasite infection in urban areas in Brazil, so the control of VL in urban areas is based on actions taken regarding these hosts.To identify dogs infected with Leishmania infantu…

• Abstract

  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…
