| Abstract | As in humans, sub-clinical infection by arboviruses in domestic animals is common; however, its detection only
occurs during epizootics and the silent circulation of some arboviruses may remain undetected. The objective of the
present paper was to assess the current circulation of arboviruses in the Nhecolândia sub-region of South Pantanal,
Brazil. Sera from a total of 135 horses, of which 75 were immunized with bivalent vaccine composed of inactive
Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) and 60 were unvaccinated,
were submitted to thorough viral isolation, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and neutralization
tests for Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), EEEV, WEEV and Mayaro virus (MAYV). No virus was
isolated and viral nucleic-acid detection by RT-PCR was also negative. Nevertheless, the prevalence of neutralizing
antibodies in horses older than seven months was 43.7% for SLEV in equines regardless of vaccine status, and 36.4%
for WEEV and 47.7% for EEEV in unvaccinated horses. There was no evidence of MAYV infections. The serologic
evidence of circulation of arboviruses responsible for equine and human encephalitis, without recent official reports
of clinical infections in the area, suggests that the Nhecolândia sub-region in South Pantanal is an important area
for detection of silent activity of arboviruses in Brazil. | pt_BR |
