Abstract

Diseases such as those caused by feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) represent health problems for cats. Feline leishmaniasis (FL) has been reported in several cities across the country. The objective was to carry out a clinical-epidemiological and laboratory study of FIV, FeLV and FL in cats from shelters in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Blood samples and swabs from the conjunctival and nasal mucosa were obtained from 75 cats, from four animal shelters. Serology for FIV and FeLV was performed. For Leishmania, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on blood, conjunctiva and nasal mucosa. In the immunochromatographic serological test, seven cats tested positive for FIV and none for FeLV. No samples was positive in PCR for Leishmania. The study showed that despite the presence of human and canine leishmaniasis in the studied region, Leishmania spp. were absent in the cats studied. To avoid an increase in contagion in shelters, it is essential isolate cats with FIV.

巴西南马托格罗索州收容所中猫的猫免疫缺陷病毒、猫白血病病毒和利什曼原虫感染率。

由猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）和猫白血病病毒（FeLV）引起的疾病是猫的健康问题。全国多个城市都有猫利什曼病（FL）的报道。这项研究的目的是对巴西南马托格罗索州多拉多斯市收容所中猫的 FIV、FeLV 和 FL 进行临床流行病学和实验室研究。研究人员从四个动物收容所的 75 只猫身上采集了血液样本以及结膜和鼻黏膜拭子。对猫进行了 FIV 和 FeLV 血清学检测。对于利什曼原虫，则对血液、结膜和鼻粘膜进行了聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测。在免疫层析血清学检测中，有 7 只猫的 FIV 检测呈阳性，没有任何一只猫的 FeLV 检测呈阳性。没有样本在利什曼原虫 PCR 检测中呈阳性。研究表明，尽管研究地区存在人类利什曼病和犬利什曼病，但所研究的猫中没有利什曼原虫。为了避免收容所中传染病的增加，必须对患有 FIV 的猫进行隔离。
