SUMMARY:

The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of infection by Leishmania spp. In dogs in the city of Primavera do Leste, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In addition, a comparative analysis was performed between the diagnostic tests for leishmaniasis. A total of 109 serological samples from dogs were analyzed, using the Dual Path Platform immunochromatographic test, TR DPP® LVC Bio-Manguinhos and ELISA, EIE-LVC, Bio-Manguinhos® (Fiocruz), respectively as a screening and confirmatory test. At the screening diagnosis, DPP, 5/109 (4,6%) dogs were positive for anti-L infantum chagasi antibodies. All samples were submitted to the confirmatory ELISA test, only 1 (0,9%) sample was positive, coming from an adult dog, domiciled in the urban area, male, of the Siberian Husky Breed. The agreement between serological tests was moderate (k=0,323). The results obtained are fundamental to fill the epidemiological gap of leishmaniasis in the region. From the existence of a positive dog in the city, the Epidemiological Surveillance must be on alert, proceeding with the surveillance and serological monitoring of dogs, as well as in the investigation of the existence of sandflies and their breeding sites. Therefore, it is necessary that a health education program can be implemented in a broad way, in order to stimulate the prevention of the disease, reducing the pressure on the public health system.
