SEROLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN DOGS
Abstract
Infectious diseases are of great importance in veterinary medical clinics. Brazil has shown a significant reduction in many infectious diseases, through effective instruments in the early diagnosis of infectious diseases and consequently the adoption of prevention and control measures. Serological tests are fundamental in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, as they are effective in concluding diagnoses and prognosis, in addition to contributing to the epidemiological surveillance of diseases. This study aims to contribute with relevant information for the serological diagnoses of brucellosis, parvovirus and leptospirosis diseases. Laboratory diagnostics of infectious diseases are important in dogs to isolate infected animals and prevent secondary infections of susceptible animals that have contact with sick dogs. The clinical diagnosis is undefined, as several other viral pathogens can cause common symptoms in dogs, such as coronavirus, adenovirus, morbillivirus, rotavirus, reovirus, norovirus. Therefore, serological diagnosis is a fundamental tool within veterinary medicine, to diagnose and treat in a specific way the occurrence of common pathologies among dogs.
