Abstract

Many researchers have questioned about the involvement of domestic animals as sources of infection to man in endemic areas of ACL in the Southeast and South region of Brazil. In the State of Espírito Santo, the role of dogs as "reservoirs" of L. (Y.) braziliensis in the ancient zone covering atlantic forest was confirmed finding high rates of infection among dogs. For the State of São Paulo, we have the same concem in relation to the vertebrate source of infection, probabJy represented by dogs. In this study we carried out two inquiries in arder to investigate the Leishmania infection in canine population: in Itupeva (Jundiaí region) and Eldorado (Ribeira River VaJIey region) cities, which are all endemic areas. For the first time it was employed, the skin test (ST) with particulated antigen of Leishmania (Y.) braziliensis was Emplayed and, indirected immunofluorescence test (I1T) with antigens of L. (Y.) braziliensis, L. (L.) chagasi, and L.(L.) arnazonensis used in parallel. In Itupeva, from 56 inquired dogs, 10 (17,9%) were reactive for at least one of the two tests, when accepted any value of reactivity. In Eldorado, only 6 out 77 (7,8%) dogs revealed some reactivity. These results indicate to be promising and very practical the use of ST under field conditions for trial the natural infection of L. (Y.) braziliensis in animaIs suspected with any importance as source of infection. By these studies it seems to be minor the participation of dogs in maintenance of parasite in the nature in Eldorado, but the data observed in Itupeva strengthen the necessity of better knowledge about involvement of dogs in the Leishmania circulation. Probably dogs play role in different degrees of relationship with Leishmania in different regions. We believe that such results would be fundamental for definition of control strategies.
