SUMMARY:

Leishmaniasis are among the most prevalent and neglected endemic diseases worldwide, being of great importance in public health. Visceral leishmaniasis is an infectious zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum, an obligate intracellular parasite of the cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system of vertebrate hosts. The transmission of the parasite to humans and animals occurs primarily through the bite of infected female sandflies, popularly known as “straw mosquitoes”. In the Southeast region of Brazil, the municipality of Volta Redonda, in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro, has been presenting cases of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL), in addition to reported human cases. Chapter I of the thesis aimed to carry out a survey of cases of canine visceral leishmaniasis (LVC) at the Centro de Controle de Zoonoses (CCZ) in the municipality of Volta Redonda (VR), in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in the period from January 2016 to December 2020, using the VICON SAGA Platform for georeferencing the cases. It was observed that the search/demand for diagnosis in the CCZ of the city of Volta Redonda has been increasing over the years; the number of animals diagnosed with CVL increased by 286% in the research period; skin lesions are the main clinical alterations found in patients positive for CVL; the large number of neighborhoods presenting positive cases of CVL alerts to the occurrence of the disease, mainly in urban areas; the VICON SAGA platform made it possible to identify areas with the highest occurrence of CVL and, consequently, the areas at greatest risk; the profile of the animals treated at the CCZ of VR are SRD animals, with short hair, medium size and showing nonspecific clinical signs. Chapter II aimed to carry out a systematic review to elucidate the main epidemiological factors associated with CVL in South America from 2000 to 2020, using PubMed, Lilacs, Web of Science and Scopus platforms as databases. Of the 3076 articles found, 20 epidemiological studies were selected. It is concluded that factors associated with the environment are the most studied in all epidemiological studies and the closer the shelters for dogs are to forest regions, the greater the chance of infection by L. infantum; it is not possible to establish an association between race and a higher occurrence of L. infantum infection; articles that were able to establish correlation with age, reported that adult animals are the most exposed.
