Com o intuito de se estudar a presença de suínos portadores renais de leptospiras foram colhidas 131 amostras sanguíneas e os respectivos rins de animais durante o abate em abatedouro da região de Botucatu-SP. Pela prova de Soroaglutinação Microscópica obteve-se 48 amostras sorológicas positivas para um ou mais sorovar de Leptospira spp., com uma taxa de ocorrência de anticorpos anti-leptospira de 36,64%, e maior importância para o sorovar icterohaemorrhagiae. Para a pesquisa do agente nos rins, das 88 amostras renais submetidas a cultura em meio de EMJH e analisadas pela prova de PCR, foi isolado e detectado o agente em uma única amostra renal, pertencente a um animal soropositivo. Embora não tenha sido possível a comparação estatística, em termos de sensibilidade e especificidade das duas provas de detecção do agente a partir de amostras renais, a PCR mostrou-se mais rápida e prática na pesquisa de portadores renais. Pelo isolamento obtido, ressalta-se a importância desses animais como possíveis transmissores da doença para trabalhadores de abatedouro e inspetores de carne.

Leptospirosis was seroepidemiologically investigated in 775 dogs from Botucatu, state of Sao Paulo, in blood samples collected during the annual anti-rabies vaccination campaign. The samples were collected from 14 out of the 45 vaccination stations geographically distributed in five different municipal districts, with a territorial urban area of 31Km2. Samples were taken from 449 males and 326 females; 564 were of undetermined breed, and 211 were pedigree animals; ages ranged from 3 months to 20 years. Diagnosis included the microscopic serum agglutination tests using 12 Leptospira spp serovars. Serological results and epidemiological variables were compared using Goodman and chi-square tests, with χ=0.05. There were 119 (15.3%) positive samples for 11 serovars; the most important was canicola with 48 (40.3%), followed by pyrogenes 41 (34.5%). Statistical analysis showed significant difference for: breed, 17.7% positive in undetermined breeds and 9.0% in pedigrees; and sex, 18.4% positive in males and 11.0% in females. There was no statistically significant difference in relation to age with uniform distribution of positives.

The objectives were to assess incidence of pregnancy losses, associate this outcome with immunization programs against reproductive diseases, and evaluate the effects of vaccination against bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and Leptospira spp., on reproductive efficiency of Brazilian cow-calf operations. In experiment 1, 7614 lactating Nelore cows from 18 ranches were assigned to the same estrus synchronization and fixed-time AI protocol (ESFTAI; Days -11 to 0). Pregnancy status was determined with transrectal ultrasonography on Days 30 and 120 after AI. Pregnancy loss was deemed to have occurred when cows were pregnant on Day 30 but nonpregnant on Day 120. Incidence of pregnancy loss across all ranches was 4.1%; pregnancy losses were detected (P < 0.10) in 14 ranches but not detected (P > 0.11) in four ranches. Pregnancy loss was lower (P ≤ 0.02) in ranches that vaccinated against BoHV-1, BVDV, and Leptospira spp. compared with ranches that did not vaccinate, or only vaccinated against Leptospira spp. In experiments 2 and 3, lactating Nelore cows (N = 1950 and 2793, respectively) from ranches that did not have a history of vaccinating against reproductive diseases (experiment 2), or only vaccinated against Leptospira spp. (experiment 3), were assigned to the same ESFTAI used in experiment 1. Within each ranch, cows received (VAC) or not (CON) vaccination against BoHV-1, BVDV, and Leptospira spp. at the beginning of the ESFTAI (Day -11) and 30 days after (Day 41) AI. In experiment 2, VAC cows had greater (P ≤ 0.05) pregnancy rates compared with CON on Days 30 and 120. In experiments 2 and 3, pregnancy loss was reduced (P ≤ 0.03) in primiparous VAC cows compared with CON cohorts. In experiment 4, 367 primiparous, lactating Nelore cows previously vaccinated against Leptospira spp. were assigned to the same ESFTAI used in experiment 1. Cows received VAC, or the same vaccine 30 days before (Day -41) and at the beginning (Day -11) of the ESFTAI (PREVAC). Pregnancy rates on Days 30 and 120 were greater (P ≤ 0.05) in PREVAC cows compared with VAC cows. In conclusion, pregnancy losses affected reproductive and overall efficiency of Brazilian cow-calf operations, and might be directly associated with BoHV-1, BVDV, and Leptospira spp. infections. Hence, vaccinating cows against these pathogens, particularly when both doses are administered before fixed-time AI, improved reproductive performance in Brazilian cow-calf systems. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Four experiments evaluated the effects of vaccination against bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and Leptospira spp. on reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows without (experiments 1, 2, and 3) or with previous vaccination against these diseases (experiment 4). Cows were assigned to a fixed-time AI protocol (FTAI; d -11 to 0) in all experiments, as well as AI 12. h upon estrus detection in experiment 3. Pregnancy status was determined with transrectal ultrasonography on d 30 and 71 (d 60 for experiment 3) after AI. Pregnancy loss was considered in cows pregnant on d 30 but non-pregnant on the subsequent evaluation. In experiment 1, 853 cows received (VAC) or not (CON) vaccination against BoHV-1, BVDV, and Leptospira spp. at the beginning of the FTAI (d -11) and 30. d after AI. Pregnancy loss was reduced (P=0.03) in VAC cows compared with CON. In experiment 2, 287 cows received VAC or CON 30. d prior to (d -41) and at the beginning (d -11) of the FTAI. Pregnancy rates on d 30 and 71 were greater (P≤0.03) in VAC cows compared with CON. In experiment 3, 1680 cows with more than 28. d in milk were randomly assigned to receive VAC or CON with doses administered 14. d apart, and inseminated within 15-135. d after the second dose. Pregnancy rates on d 30 and 60 were greater (P≤0.02) in VAC cows compared with CON. In experiment 4, 820 cows received (REVAC) or not (CON) revaccination against BoHV-1, BVDV, and Leptospira spp. at the beginning of the FTAI protocol (d -11). Pregnancy rates and loss were similar (P≥0.54) between treatments. Hence, vaccinating naïve cows against BoHV-1, BVDV, and Leptospira spp. improved reproductive efficiency in dairy production systems, particularly when both doses were administered prior to AI. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

O objetivo do trabalho foi a detecção de anticorpos anti - Brucella abortus e anti – Leptospira interrogans em soros de eqüídeos e seus tratadores nos bairros das cidades de Belém e Ananindeua, abrangendo os meses de abril a agosto de 2005, utilizando para este fim, 195 soros sanguíneos de eqüídeos e 70 soros sanguíneos de homens que manipulavam os animais direta ou indiretamente. Para a pesquisa de animais sororeagentes à B. abortus, foram usadas as provas do Antígeno Acidificado Tamponado (AAT) como teste de triagem e a Soro Aglutinação Lenta em Tubos (SAL) e o teste do 2-Mercaptoetanol (2-ME), como teste confirmatórios. Para a Leptospirose, foi utilizada a prova de Soroaglutinação Microscópica (SAM), sendo realizada a triagem dos soros frente à 25 sorovares de L. interrogans, considerando-se positivos aquelas amostras com titulação igual ou maior que 100. De 195 amostras de soros sanguíneos de eqüídeos, 184 (94,87%) foram positivas para todos os sorovares analisados, sendo que os mais frequentemente encontrados foram: Patoc, Automnalis, Ictehaemohragiae, Pyrogenes e Bratislava. Para as amostras sanguíneas de homens, a positividade foi de 49 (70%) de soros reagentes, com os sorovares Patoc, Ictehaemohragiae, Bratislava, Butembo, Copenhageni e Automnalis os mais detectados. Das amostras positivas de animais e seus respectivos tratadores, 47/70 (67,14%) foram semelhantes para os mesmos sorovares de Leptospira spp., sendo que 2/70 (2,86%) amostras foram negativas em ambos os grupos pesquisados, 2/70 (2,86%) foram somente positivas em homens e 19/70 (27,14%) foram exclusivamente positivas nas amostras de soros de eqüídeos. Os bairros do Coqueiro, Guamá, 40 horas, Barreiro e Bengui apresentaram a maior percentagem de casos soropositivos. Não houve diferença significativa em relação às outras variantes estudadas, como: idade (animal e homem), tempo de serviço (animal e homem), espécie do animal, escore corporal do animal e grau de instrução do homem. Tanto nos animais quanto nos homens não foram detectadas reações positivas para B. abortus.
