This disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, including Brazil. However, information on its prevalence in dogs in some Brazilian states remains limited. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of canine leishmaniasis in Rio Branco, Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 375 dogs aged &gt; 6 months. Two distinct serological methods, dual path platform test (DPP) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were used to investigate the occurrence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies. The results showed a seroprevalence of 38.1%, indicating that the disease occurred in this region. Blood samples considered positive in at least one of the serological methods were subjected to conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which confirmed the presence of infection in 28.3% (106\/375) of the total samples. This is the first study to provide detailed information on the seroprevalence of canine leishmaniasis in dogs in Rio Branco, highlighting the importance of disease surveillance and control. Effective actions, such as education campaigns on sand fly prevention and control measures, are necessary to reduce the occurrence of canine and human leishmaniasis in cities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612024072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,2]],"date-time":"2024-12-02T12:32:19Z","timestamp":1733142739000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Occurrence of Leishmania spp. DNA and specific antibodies in dogs from Acre State, Rio Branco, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Gleice Kelly Carvalho","family":"Bento","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Acre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leticia Gomes","family":"Zanfagnini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Acre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcia Dalastra","family":"Laurenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thayse Yumie","family":"Tomokane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vania Lucia Ribeiro da","family":"Matta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soraia Figueiredo","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Paran\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5080-7799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ac\u00e1cio Duarte","family":"Pacheco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Acre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1430","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjx094","article-title":"Occurrence and Probability Maps of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lutzomyia cruzi (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) in Brazil","volume":"54","author":"Andrade-Filho JD","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Med Entomol"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1590\/0074-02760200157","article-title":"An overview of the sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) followed by the detection of Leishmania DNA and blood meal identification in the state of Acre, Amazonian Brazil","volume":"115","author":"Araujo-Pereira T","year":"2020","journal-title":"Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Aspectos da fauna flebotom\u00ednea (Diptera: Psychodidae) e da infec\u00e7\u00e3o por Leishmania spp. em c\u00e3es dom\u00e9sticos em uma \u00e1rea de alta incid\u00eancia de leishmaniose tegumentar em Rio Branco, Acre","author":"\u00c1vila MM","year":"2018"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"531","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pt.2012.08.007","article-title":"Canine leishmaniosis in the Old and New Worlds: unveiled similarities and differences","volume":"28","author":"Dantas-Torres F","year":"2012","journal-title":"Trends Parasitol"},{"key":"ref5","article-title":"Leishmania infantum infection rate in dogs housed in open-admission shelters is higher than of domiciled dogs in an endemic area of canine visceral leishmaniasis.
