摘要：
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with canine visceral leishmaniasis in Paraiba State. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 411 dogs in four municipalities of Paraiba State. The seroprevalence was assessed by using ELISA. Results: The seroprevalence ranged from 7.2% to 20%. The risk factors that were associated with the disease were the presence of ticks and contact with other animals. Conclusions: The seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis is high in Paraiba, indicating the need for health authorities to resume visceral leishmaniasis control activities. The ruralization of suburban areas in the region tends to homogenize the risk factors between suburban and rural areas.
