| Abstract | Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is among the endemic diseases with priority relevance in the world, it is a neglected tropical and zoonotic disease that affects thousands of dogs and humans each year. The municipality of Barra is located in the western region of Bahia, has a land area of 11,414.405 km² and occupies the 43rd place in population in Bahia, being the fourth most populous in the western region of Bahia. The municipality has a unique and diverse landscape, characterized by being in the Cerrado/Caatinga transition zone, with a hot semi-arid climate. This work was carried out in the Settlement Ferradura, rural area of the municipality of Barra, Bahia, which is located 73 km from the headquarters and on the right bank of the Rio Grande (main tributary of the São Francisco River). The study aimed to investigate the epidemiological aspects of CVL in this community. Clinical and seroepidemiological investigations of CVL were carried out in all dogs in the community. The sera were analyzed using the indirect ELISA protocol with rLci5 antigen. The animals' guardians were interviewed to obtain general data about the dogs and to analyze their level of knowledge about CVL. Phlebotomine sandflies were captured using a CDC light trap distributed at 10 strategic points in the community. All activities were carried out between August and September 2022. A low knowledge of the tutors about the vector, the mode of transmission and the clinical signs of the disease was observed, which suggests the need for educational activities. Among the 62 dogs evaluated, 97% were of mixed breed and 100% sleep away from home, acting as yard guards, without any protection against insect bites. In serology, 14 dogs (23%) were reactive for the infection, of these, nine animals were aged up to 12 months (64%), two were between 1 and 4 years old (14%) and three aged between 5 and 10 years (21 %). Among the most common clinical signs observed are: lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly followed by hyperkeratosis on the muzzle, seborrheic dermatitis and alopecia. A total of 71 sandflies were captured in this study, and in 70% (07/10) of the residences that had traps installed, sandflies were captured. So far, it has been possible to identify 28 specimens of L. longipalpis, 24 (86%) males and 04 (14%) females. The analysis of the results of the present study allows us to conclude that: CVL is present in the Ferradura Settlement, since the dogs were seropositive for the protozoan and the vector was captured. | en_US |
