猫免疫缺陷病毒 (FIV) 和猫白血病病毒 (FeLV) 等疾病是猫的健康问题。全国多个城市均报告了猫科利什曼病（FL）。目的是对来自巴西南马托格罗索州多拉多斯避难所的猫进行 FIV、FeLV 和 FL 的临床流行病学和实验室研究。从四个动物收容所的 75 只猫身上采集了血样以及结膜和鼻粘膜拭子。进行了 FIV 和 FeLV 的血清学检查。对于利什曼原虫，对血液、结膜和鼻粘膜进行聚合酶链反应（PCR）。在免疫色谱血清学检测中，有 7 只猫的 FIV 检测呈阳性，没有一只猫的 FeLV 呈阳性。 PCR 检测中没有样本呈利什曼原虫阳性。研究表明，尽管研究地区存在人类和犬类利什曼病，利什曼原虫属。在所研究的猫中不存在。为了避免收容所内的传染增加，必须隔离感染 FIV 的猫。

Diseases such as those caused by feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) represent health problems for cats. Feline leishmaniasis (FL) has been reported in several cities across the country. The objective was to carry out a clinical-epidemiological and laboratory study of FIV, FeLV and FL in cats from shelters in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Blood samples and swabs from the conjunctival and nasal mucosa were obtained from 75 cats, from four animal shelters. Serology for FIV and FeLV was performed. For Leishmania, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on blood, conjunctiva and nasal mucosa. In the immunochromatographic serological test, seven cats tested positive for FIV and none for FeLV. No samples was positive in PCR for Leishmania. The study showed that despite the presence of human and canine leishmaniasis in the studied region, Leishmania spp. were absent in the cats studied. To avoid an increase in contagion in shelters, it is essential isolate cats with FIV.
