A serological survey in free-ranging crab-eating foxes (Canidae: Cerdocyon thous) and brown-nosed coatis (Procyonidae: Nasua nasua) was performed in the Nhecolândia sub-region of the Brazilian Pantanal to evaluate the presence of anti-smooth Brucella antibodies on those wild populations. The detection of anti-smooth Brucella antibodies was performed by the Rose Bengal Test (RBT) as screening test and the Fluorescence Polarization Assay (FPA) as a confirmatory test. The frequency of smooth Brucella seropositive animals were 13.2% (5/38, 95% CI: 4.4% - 28.1%) for crab-eating foxes and 8.8% (3/34, 95% CI: 1.9% -23.7%) for brown-nosed coatis. No association was found between seropositivity for brucellosis and gender or age. The results of this study suggest exposure to or infection of crab-eating fox and brown-nosed coati from the Brazilian Pantanal by Brucella spp
Um inquérito sorológico em quatis (Procyonidae: Nasua nasua) e lobinhos (Canidae: Cerdocyon thous) de vida livre foi conduzido na sub-região da Nhecolândia do Pantanal Sulmatogrossense para avaliar a presença de anticorpos anti-Brucella (fenótipo liso). A pesquisa de anticorpos anti-Brucella foi realizada pelo teste do antígeno acidificado tamponado, utilizado como teste de triagem e pelo teste de polarização fluorescente, utilizado como teste confirmatório. A frequência de animais soropositivos para anticorpos anti-Brucella foi de 13,2% (5/38, IC 95%: 4,4% - 28,1%) para lobinhos e de 8,8% (3/34, IC 95%: 1,9% - 23,7%) para coatis. Não foi encontrada associação entre a soropositividade para brucelose e gênero ou idade. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem exposição a ou infecção de lobinhos e quatis do Pantanal Brasileiro por Brucella spp
