No. of bitstreams: 1 2011 - Erica Cristina Rocha Roier.pdf: 982721 bytes, checksum: 24c0654d64de8a5b21a0eea5376f828c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-28 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of antibodies against Neorickettsia risticii in horses in the microregion of Itagua? RJ, show possible associated factors and identify the agent by molecular techniques. The study was conducted in the districts of Serop?dica, Itagua? and Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro. The 350 blood samples were obtained by convenience from horse properties belonging to the region. Serologic testing was performed by Immunofluorescence Assay (IFAI) for N. risticii, being considered positive samples titer 1:50. To evaluate risk factors associated with the presence of antibodies to N. risticii an epidemiological questionnaire was applied to the owners or guardians of animals, which aimed especially farm characteristics and management of animals. Hematological and clinical evaluation was performed for all animals. Molecular analysis by a Real Time PCR was performed from leukocyte cover. The prevalence of antibodies anti-N.risticii in horses of the region of Itagua? was 26.3% (92/350). The frequencies of IgG anti-N.rristicii were 52.2% (48/92) for titers of 1:50, zero for titers of 1:100, 13% (12/92) for titles of 1:200, 28.3% (26/92) for evidence of 1:400 and 6.5% (6 / 92) for titles of 1:800. The age and quality level of the properties were associated (p <0.05) with horses seropositivity for N. risticii. DNA from N. risticii was not detectable in samples of this study. Also no significant changes in the clinical evaluation of animals was found in relation to seropositivity for the agent. Despite showing association (p <0.05) between the seropositivity of the animals and changes in white blood cell of negative animals, these changes were not outside reference limits for the species evaluated. The existence of horses seropositive for N. risticii indicates the presence of this agent in the microregion of Itagua?. / O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a preval?ncia de anticorpos contra Neorickettsia risticii em equinos na microrregi?o de Itagua?-RJ, demonstrar os poss?veis fatores associados e identificar o agente atrav?s de t?cnicas moleculares. O estudo foi conduzido nos munic?pios de Serop?dica, Itagua? e Mangaratiba, estado do Rio de Janeiro. As 350 amostras de sangue foram obtidas por conveni?ncia, das propriedades de cria??o de equinos pertencentes ? regi?o. O teste sorol?gico foi realizado atrav?s da Rea??o de Imunofluoresc?ncia Indireta (RIFI) para N. risticii, sendo consideradas positivas amostras com t?tulo 1:50. Para avalia??o dos fatores de risco associados ? presen?a de anticorpos de N. risticii, aplicou-se um question?rio epidemiol?gico com os propriet?rios e/ou respons?veis dos animais, destacando caracter?sticas da propriedade e manejo dos animais. Realizou-se hemograma e avalia??o cl?nica de todos os animais. As an?lises moleculares atrav?s da t?cnica de Real Time PCR foram realizadas a partir de capa leucocit?ria. A preval?ncia de anticorpos anti-N. risticii em equinos da microrregi?o de Itagua? foi de 26,3% (92/350) pela RIFI. As frequ?ncias de anticorpos IgG anti-N. risticii foram 52,2% (48/92) para titula??es de 1:50, zero para titula??es de 1:100, 13% (12/92) para t?tulos de 1:200, 28,3% (26/92) para t?tulos de 1:400 e 6,5% (6/92) para t?tulos de 1:800. A idade e o n?vel de qualidade das propriedades apresentaram associa??o (p<0,05) com a soropositividade dos equinos para N. risticii. N?o foi detectado o DNA de N. risticii nas amostras do presente estudo. Tamb?m n?o foram evidenciadas altera??es significativas na avalia??o clinica dos animais, em rela??o ? soropositividade para o agente. Apesar de haver associa??o (p<0,05) entre a soropositividade dos animais e altera??es no leucograma dos animais negativos, estas altera??es n?o estiveram fora dos limites de refer?ncia para a esp?cie animal avaliada. A exist?ncia de equinos soropositivos para N. risticii indica a circula??o desse agente na microrregi?o de Itagua?
