The objective of this study was to evaluate testicular changes and the presence of Leishmania sp. intesticles of dogs with Visceral Leishmaniasis (LV). The animals were obtained from Teresina Zoonosis ControlAdministration, and taken to the kennels of Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Piauí(UFPI), where they stayed for two months and were subsequently euthanized for removal of the testicles. 12 dogswere used, 06 positive (GI) and 06 negative (GII) for LV and conducted examinations of histopathology andimmunohistochemistry (IMH) of the testicles. All were negative by IMH technique and by histopathology. In thisstudy, we observed testicular lesions in all animals, with no direct relationship between the presence ofLeishmania sp. and intensity of the damage found in the reproductive system, reducing the possibility of venerealtransmission between oligositomatics dogs.(AU)
