| 4 | The first case report of Leishmania(leishmania) chagasi in Panthera leo in Brazil显示文摘We reported here the first known case of natural infection of a lion(Panthera leo-Linnaeus,1738) with Leishmania(Leithmania) chagasi(L.chagasi) in Brazil.The specimen was created by a circus handler in the state of Mato Grosso and was donated to the zoological park of the Federal University of Mato Crosso.Infection by I.chagasi was detected using a PCR-RFLP test.It was known that the domestic felids can act as reservoir of infection of L.chagasi in endemic areas, making it important that studies demonstrate their participation in the epidemiological chain. We demonstrate in this work that wild animals can have an important role in the epidemiological chain and must be considered in order to plan methods of control of this zoonosis. | Magyda AA Dahroug Arleana BPF Almeida Valéria RF Sousa Valéria Dutra Luciana D Guimares César E Soares Luciano Nakazato Roberto L de Souza | 2011 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2011，1，3： | 0 |
