Canine leishmaniasis (original) (raw)
Canine leishmaniasis (LEESH-ma-NIGH-ah-sis) is a zoonotic disease (see human leishmaniasis) caused by Leishmania parasites transmitted by the bite of an infected phlebotomine sandfly. Canine leishmaniasis was first identified in Europe in 1903, and in 1940, 40% of all dogs in Rome were determined to be positive for leishmaniasis. Traditionally thought of as a disease only found near the Mediterranean basin, 2008 research claims new findings are evidence that canine leishmaniasis is currently expanding in continental climate areas of northwestern Italy, far from the recognized disease-endemic areas along the Mediterranean coasts. Cases of leishmaniasis began appearing in North America in 2000, and, as of 2008, Leishmania-positive foxhounds have been reported in 22 U.S. states and two Canadi

| dbo:abstract | Canine leishmaniasis (LEESH-ma-NIGH-ah-sis) is a zoonotic disease (see human leishmaniasis) caused by Leishmania parasites transmitted by the bite of an infected phlebotomine sandfly. Canine leishmaniasis was first identified in Europe in 1903, and in 1940, 40% of all dogs in Rome were determined to be positive for leishmaniasis. Traditionally thought of as a disease only found near the Mediterranean basin, 2008 research claims new findings are evidence that canine leishmaniasis is currently expanding in continental climate areas of northwestern Italy, far from the recognized disease-endemic areas along the Mediterranean coasts. Cases of leishmaniasis began appearing in North America in 2000, and, as of 2008, Leishmania-positive foxhounds have been reported in 22 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. (en) A leishmaniose canina é a infeção por leishmaniose em cães. Os sintomas mais comuns são aumento de volume dos gânglios linfáticos, crescimento exagerado das unhas, perda de pelo, úlceras e descamação da pele, emagrecimento e atrofia muscular, hemorragias nasais, anemia e alterações nos rins, fígado e articulações. No entanto, o cão pode ser portador da doença sem manifestar sintomas. A doença é causada pelo parasita Leishmania infantum, que também pode infetar o ser humano e outros animais como os gatos, raposas e roedores. Nas regiões endémicas, a principal vetor de transmissão do parasita é a picada de insetos flebótomos fêmeas das espécies Phlebotomus perniciosus e P. ariasi, embora possa também ser transmitida por transfusão sanguínea, contacto directo ou por via venérea. O inseto alimenta-se sobretudo ao final da tarde. Os cães em maior risco são os que vivem a maior parte do tempo no exterior, os cães de raças exóticas, os de pelo curto e os de idade superior a dois anos. O período de incubação varia de um mês a dois ou mais anos. A prevenção consiste em impedir a picada do mosquito mediante aplicação de insecticidas na forma de coleira ou pulverização e rastreios regulares. O diagnóstico baseia-se nos sintomas e é confirmado por análises laboratoriais que detectam a presença no sangue do parasita ou de anticorpos do parasita. O risco de transmissão do cão para o ser humano é pequeno e, mesmo quando é transmitido, a percentagem de cura é superior a 95%. (pt) |
