Monitoramento de surtos de mormo nos equídeos em Alagoas, Brasil: achados clínicos, imunológicos, moleculares e anatomopatológico
Ciencia Rural(2021)
摘要
Glanders is an infectious and often lethal zoonotic disease of equines caused by the bacterium, Burkholderia mallei. This
condition is characterized by respiratory, lymphatic, and cutaneous lesions. In this study, we monitored the development of clinical symptoms
in animals naturally infected with B. mallei across different equine breeds and also isolated and characterized the disease-causing bacteria.
We studied two official glanders outbreaks in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. During the outbreaks, we performed clinical and immunological
follow-up of the animals, as well as euthanasia and anatomopathological examination. We also collected diagnostic materials for isolative,
phenotypic, molecular, and biological testing. We did not observe any clinical patterns of glanders among animals infected with the same
strain of B. mallei. Based on our results, we suggest that early diagnosis of infection should be made through highly sensitive and specific
immunoassays. In asymptomatic but positive test cases, we confirmed the importance of conducting pathological, microbiological, and
molecular examinations
