Therefore, studies on this species provide important data for public health. Thus, the objective of the present study was to ascertain the seroprevalence of canine VL (CVL) and the associated factors in the Brejo Paraibano microregion, northeastern Brazil. A total of 409 dogs were sampled from the eight municipalities of the microregion: Alagoa Grande, Alagoa Nova, Areia, Bananeiras, Borborema, Matinhas, Pil\u00f5es and Serraria. The diagnosis of CVL was made using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA S7\u00ae), through which the prevalence observed was 29.3%. By robust Poisson regression analysis two factors were associated with seroprevalence: illiterate\/incomplete elementary owner\u2019s education level (prevalence ratio = 1.57; 95% CI = 1.05\u20132.34; p-value = 0.027) and tick infestation (prevalence ratio = 1.82; 95% CI = 1.27\u20132.61; p-value = 0.001). It is concluded that the seroprevalence of CVL in the Brejo Paraibano microregion is high. The factors associated with seroprevalence indicated the importance to develop socioeducational actions on the population, and the finding that tick infestation was associated with seroprevalence shows that there is a need for investigation regarding the role of ticks in the epidemiology of CVL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612020014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,19]],"date-time":"2020-05-19T23:36:33Z","timestamp":1589931393000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["High seroprevalence and associated factors for visceral leishmaniasis in dogs in a transmission area of Para\u00edba state, Northeastern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Maria das Gra\u00e7as da Silva","family":"Bernardino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D\u00e9bora Ferreira do Santos","family":"Angelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raizza Barros Sousa","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edijanio Galdino da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laysa Freire Franco e","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ant\u00f4nio Fernando de Melo","family":"Vaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcia Almeida de","family":"Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina de Sousa Am\u00e9rico Batista","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clebert Jos\u00e9","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1777-7348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e9rgio Santos de","family":"Azevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Campina Grande,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Meteorologia \u2013 chuvas","year":"2019"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-015-0763-z","article-title":"Molecular detection of tick-borne rickettsial and protozoan pathogens in domestic dogs from Turkey.
