SUMMARY:

Research about infectious agents in indigenous population are scarce not only in Brazil, but around the world. Historically, indigenous people are marginalized, and until nowadays, face disproportionately high rates of poverty and diseases. Serological investigation regarding infectious agents in animals that live in indigenous communities can work as important tools to demonstrate epidemiological diseases parameters and can support to design policies animal programs to improve livestock quality, since most of indigenous families use livestock as food supply. In addition, contribute to control and prevent illness in this population, considering that 70% of the diagnosed disease in human arose from animals. The aim of this study was to investigate infectious agents in two indigenous populations, Northeast of Brazil, Pernambuco estate, Xukuru ethnic, in Pesqueira country and Fulni-ô ethnic located in Águas Belas country. In the Xukuru community, 180 sheeps (Ovis aries) sera and 108 goats (Capra aegagrus hicus) sera were analyzed, diagnosis for Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum was performed using Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA), whereas for Leptospira spp. Microscopic Aagglutination Test (MAT) was employed. In the Fulni-ô population the research was executed in 66 canine sera by IFA for T. gondii and N. caninum, for the diagnosis of Leptospira spp. MAT, whereas Leishmania spp. kit TR DPP® 7 Canine Visceral Leishmaniosis Bio-Manguinhos was used. The results obtained in the Xukuru ethnic demonstrated that 16,6% of the sheeps and 11,1% goats showed antibodies against T. gondii; 10,5% of the sheeps and 20,73 of the goats were seropositive for N. caninum, while 15% of the sheeps and 19,4% of the goats were Leptospira spp. positive reaction. In the Fulni-ô population the analyses showed a frequency of 46,9% for T. gondii; 9,09% for N. caninum; 22,72% for Leishmania spp. and 18,18% for Leptospira spp. in the dogs. The results obtained in this study evidenced that important infectious agents for animal and human medicine are propagated in indigenous populations in Pernambuco estate and evidence the requirement of animal monitoring, besides the necessity of health programs in this population.
