RESUMO:

With the increasing trend of the feline population in human homes, the risk of transmission of zoonotic agents increases. Part of feline diseases are caused by hemoparasites, and part of them already have zoonotic character. The diagnosis of feline hemoparasitosis is still challenging, as some infections occur in healthy cats and when symptomatic, the clinical signs are nonspecific. In this context, it aimed to evaluate blood samples from cats residing in Cacoal-RO using blood count, biochemistry and research of hemoparasites and one health. Cats sampled (n=100) were randomly chosen from rural and urban settings, including an animal shelter. Hematological analyzes were performed in an automatic counter - feline profile, biochemical analyzes in a semi-automatic device, the search for hemoparasites were performed with venous blood smears and capillaries stained with Giemsa. and on-site unique health analysis. Regarding hematological analyses, five animals (5/100) presented regenerative anemia. There was also elevation of liver enzymes in 18 (18/100) and 16 (16/100) cats, respectively, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Regenerative anemia and increased liver enzyme activities can be considered laboratory markers of hemoparasitosis. In this study, 23 (23/100) animals showed forms suggestive of hemoparasites, where inclusions similar to Anaplasma phagocytophilum was the most common finding (69.6%), followed by Anaplasma platys (21.7%), Ehrlichia sp (4, 3%), Mycoplasma sp. (13.0%), piroplasms (13.0%). Five animals (21.7%) had more than one form suggestive of hemoparasites on cytology, suggesting coinfection. Most cats in this study were clinically healthy, even with cytological and laboratory alterations. Through the analysis of one health, it was evidenced that the behavior of tutors and caregivers can put their health at risk, as well as that of the animals under their care. This study suggests the circulation of hemoparasites with zoonotic potential in cats domiciled in the city of Cacoal-RO and it is suggested that future studies using molecular biology be carried out to confirm these pathogens.
