Resumo: |
Observations of clinical cases suspected of distemper, attended at the Veterinary Hospital at the Federal University of Viçosa, indicate that the dogs vaccinated in stores which commercialize agropecuary products showed a greater frequency of the disease compared to the ones vaccinated at veterinary clinics. Having as the objective of this study the evaluation of the answer to the vaccines commercialized in different stores and following or not the vaccination protocol indicated by the literature, the antibody titers against the distemper in dogs serum in the urban area of the city of Viçosa-MG was determined. To carry out this experiment, a blood serum sample was obtained from each of the 150 selected dogs. These animals were healthy and were between six months to six years old. The animals belong to several breeds and both sex. The dogs were selected following pre-established characteristics to form five groups of 30 animals each: A) dogs vaccinated in veterinary clinics following the literature patterns; B) dogs vaccinated in veterinary clinics not following the indicated protocol; C) dogs vaccinated in agropecuary product stores following the indicated protocol; D) dogs vaccinated in agropecuary product stores not following the indicated protocol; E) dogs not vaccinated. The antibody titers were measured in each animal serum through the serum neutralizing test. According to the results of this study, it was concluded that the vaccination against distemper is important, considering the difference between the titers of vaccinated and non-vaccinated dogs. There is no difference in relation to vaccinating in veterinary clinics or agropecuary product stores, if the vaccination is carried out following the vaccination protocol indicated by the literature. The quality of the vaccines commercialized in veterinary clinics and agropecuary products stores should be evaluated due to the great percentage of negative titer and titers below the ones considered protective in all the vaccinated dogs groups. |
