Summary
Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is one of the most important diseases that affects equines worldwide. It is a disease of mandatory notification, because it does not have treatment or a vaccine of wide effectiveness and it causes great impacts, mainly economic. The infectious agent of the disease is the virus which belongs to the family Retroviridae, genus Lentivirus, the Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV). Serological diagnosis is the main way to detect this persistent disease, since the clinical signs are not exclusive. The clinical course of EIA is variable and nonspecific in the case of a persistently chronic disease with recurrent viremia cycles of clinical episodes of anemia, fever and thrombocytopenia, but the majority is asymptomatic. This research is being carried out with the objective of reporting the occurrence of EIAV in horses used in equestrian tourism in the Jericoacoara National Park - Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio).In addition, to reporting changes observed in clinical and hematological evaluations of the naturally infected animals. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee on the Use of Animals (CEUA / INTA-2019.07.008-P). In the Park there are approximately 150 horses working directly on ecological equestrian tourism, of which 93 horses of varying ages and both sexes were evaluated, complete blood count, biochemical profile tests and diagnostic test for EIA, AGID. Of them, the occurrence of EIAV was identified in 14 (14/93 - 15%) of the animals. From the results of the complete blood, the most observed changes were low globular volume and reduced concentration of red blood cells. Regarding the biochemical profile, the animals showed significant changes in the concentration of total proteins, globulins, gammaglutamyltransferase and alkaline phosphatase, but we emphasize that we still need careful studies to correlate these changes to EIA. With the results it became clear the high occurrence of EIAV in the Jericoacoara National Park demonstrating the endemic character of this region. The identification of regions such as the Park, which has a high risk of transmission from EIA, can help the implementation of control measures through the service of official agencies, with the implementation of effective prophylactic action, adopting stricter rules for traffic control equines between high-risk regions, as well as health education and elimination of positive animals.
