SUMMARY:

The objective of this research was to determine the seroprevalence of Leishmania infantum in dogs in the city of Primavera do Leste, Mato Grosso, Brazil. A total of 109 serological samples from dogs were analyzed, using the Dual Path Platform immunochromatographic test, TR DPP® LVC BioManguinhos, and ELISA, EIE-LVC, BioManguinhos® (Fiocruz), respectively, as a screening and confirmatory test. In the screening diagnosis, DPP, 5/109 (4.6%) dogs were positive for anti-L. infantum antibodies. The samples of positive dogs were submitted to the confirmatory ELISA test, which only 1 (0.9%) was confirmed as positive, coming from an adult dog, asymptomatic, domiciled in the urban area, male, of the Siberian Husky breed. The results obtained are essential to fill the epidemiological gap of leishmaniasis in the region. From the existence of a positive dog in the city, Epidemiological Surveillance must be alert, proceeding with the surveillance and serological monitoring of dogs, as well as in the investigation of the existence of sandflies. Therefore, it is necessary that a health education program be implemented, ranging from the elucidation of leishmaniasis to aspects inherent to responsible ownership, in order to stimulate the prevention of the disease, reducing the pressure on the public health system.
