Abstract

This study is aimed at detecting canine distemper, Ehrlichia canis and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) in stray dogs in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Seropédica, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. One hundred and fifty-eight canine blood samples from the two cities were collected and analyzed. Of these, 96 from stray dogs located at the Zoonosis Control Center and 62 from free-roaming animals near the Campus of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro. The animals were of both sexes, of different ages, of undefined breed and with an unknown vaccination history. The presence of one animal positive for canine distemper virus (1/38) and the absence of clinical cases indicated the susceptibility of the housed animals to the risk of a possible outbreak of the disease. However, high titers of anti-E. canis (35/38) and anti-B. burgdorferi s.l. antibodies (85/158) indicated that those hemoparasites were circulating in the study regions.
