Abstract

The objective of this study was to report the main characteristics of dogs collected by the Center for Zoonosis Control (CCZ) of the municipality of Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte-RN. Data were collected from 100 dogs via separate sheets, containing sex, race, age, clinical data and reason for withdrawal. Among the animals captured 60% were male and 40% females, where 79% showed no racial pattern set and 21% with breed. The age group most affected was between 1 and 5 years of age, accounting for 77% of animals evaluated. Among the animals collected 73% were due to illness, where the Visceral Leishmaniasis was highlighted with 72.6% of cases and 13.7% were suspected symptoms of this disease. The other dogs were collected because they are unwanted by the owners of wandering and other diseases.
