TI  - Paracoccidioidomycosis infection in domestic and wild mammals by Paracoccidioides 
      lutzii.

AB  - Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis that occurs in several Latin 
      American countries, especially in Brazil. It is caused by the thermo-dimorphic 
      fungus Paracoccidioides spp. Serological studies to detect animal infection 
      represent an excellent strategy for data on the agent's ecology. Although the 
      state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is an endemic area for PCM in humans, there is 
      scarce information available on the ecology of the agent in the region. This 
      study aimed to investigate the infection by Paracoccidioides lutzii in animals 
      living in RS, Brazil. A total of 85 wild mammals, 200 horses and 196 domestic 
      dogs, previously tested for infection by P. brasiliensis, were included in this 
      study. Serum samples from the animals were tested by ELISA to detect anti- 
      P. lutzii antibodies. From the 481 animals tested, 105 (21.8%) were seropositive 
      for IgG anti-P. lutzii. Of these, 54 were also positive for P. brasiliensis. A 
      total of 11 horses (10.5%), 30 dogs (28.8%) and 10 wild mammals (9.5%) were 
      positive only for P. lutzii (n=51). The detection of anti-P. lutzii antibodies in 
      animals of RS suggests that the fungus can be found in southern Brazil, despite 
      being described mainly in the midwest and southeast of the country.
