Resumo
Este estudo foi realizado objetivando-se detectar e identificar a presença de material genômico de agentes pertencentes à Família Anaplasmataceae em 55 cães com inclusões citoplasmáticas encontrados em células leucocitárias granulocíticas, monocíticas e plaquetas, compatíveis com infecção por Ehrlichia canis, E. chaffeensis, E. ewingii, A. phagocytophilum, A. platys ou Neorickettsia risticii. A ocorrência natural de Babesia canis também foi avaliada pois vetor Rhipicephalus sanguineus, é o principal carrapato encontrado em cães no Brasil. Também objetivou-se realizar, através da utilização de técnicas de Seqüenciamento de um fragmento do gene 16S rRNA, a caracterização parcial dos fragmentos das amostras positivas encontradas neste estudo, e comparar as seqüências dos fragmentos obtidos com as seqüências apresentadas previamente no GenBank, iniciando a realização de estudos filogenéticos das seqüências encontradas. Amostras de sangue foram colhidas de 25 e 30 cães atendidos nos Hospitais Veterinários da Universidade Estadual Paulista-Unesp, Câmpus de Jaboticabal-SP e Universidade para o Desenvolvimento do Estado e da região do Pantanal-UNIDERP, Campo Grande- MS, respectivamente. Dentre as inclusões citoplasmáticas encontradas neste estudo foi observado uma grande diversidade na morfologia, tamanho, coloração e localização das inclusões. DNA de agentes Família Anaplasmataceae foram detectados em 45/55 das amostras sangüíneas examinadas (81,8%), sendo destas 32 (58,18%) e 13 (23,63%) positivas para Ehrlichia canis e Anaplasma platys, respectivamente. Dez animais que foram incluídos neste estudo por apresentarem inclusões citoplasmáticas foram negativos quando uma segunda confecção de esfregaço de papa leucocitária corada pelo Giemsa foi realizada, e também...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the natural occurrence of Anaplasmataceae agents (Ehrlichia canis, E. chaffeensis, E. ewingii, A. phagocytophilum, A. platys and Neorickettsia risticii) using molecular techniques. For this purpose a group of fifty-five supposedly infected dogs from two different Brazilian states (São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul) that showed suggestive Anaplasmataceae agent intracitoplasmic inclusions in white blood cells and platelets were analysed. The natural occurrence of Babesia canis was also evaluated, because its vector is also Brazilian dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Sequencing of a partial phragment of 16S rRNA gene from the positive samples were performed to conduct phylogenetic study. The evaluated blood cells of the studied dog population displayed a wide variety in shapes, sizes, stain pattern and localization of the inclusions. Anaplasmataceae DNA were amplified in 45/55 (81.8%) examined blood samples. Thirty-two samples were positive for E. canis (58.18%) and thirteen for Anaplasma platys (23.63%). Ten animals were negative by PCR and an analyses of a second Buffy coat smear. The obtained nucleotide sequences were analysed for similarity of the 16S rRNA gene sequence using Blast with other sequences available in the GenBank database. The sequences obtained from E. canis positive were closely related to E. canis from Spain (Acession number AY 394465) presenting an identity percentage of between 94.82% and 99.67%. Sequences from Anaplasma sp and Anaplasma platys positive samples were closely related to A. platys from Venezuela (Genbank Acession number AF 399917) presenting an identity betwwen 96.52% and 99.69%, and A. platys from Spain (Genbank Acession number AY 530 806\0 presenting...
