Abstract

Glanders is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the bacteria Burkholderia mallei that affects horses, mules and donkeys. In 2015, an outbreak of the disease occurred in Brazil and this was responsible for the change in the National Plan for Equine Health. This,  made the program undergo updates, specifically regarding the strategies for combating and preventing the disease. The work focused on aiming to perform epidemiological survey of glanders cases that were reported in the state of Paraná between 2010 and 2022. In adition, it evaluated the level of knowledge among veterinarian students and professionals about the disease. The survey was conducted by collecting data from the platforms of Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abstecimento e Agência de Desenvolvimento Agropecuário do Paraná. The level of knowledge of professionals and students in Paraná was analysed through a virtual questionnaire, made available only to students of veterinary medicine and professionals. The answers were submitted through descriptive analysis, chi-square tests, and multiple comparisons. The state of Paraná registered 14 cases in this period, throughout the state and no correlation between them. The p-values obtained from the study indicated a significant difference between answers from professionals versus students of Paraná. Also regarding the correct answers among professionals in Paraná who are or are not qualified to perform blood collection for the glanders test and the correct answers among academics in the state in their different years, the difference is not significant. The combined data regarding the correctness of all responses were not favorable, showing that the desired level of knowledge about the disease is still limited, this, make it difficult to implement control and prophylaxis measures for the disease.
