A Educação Popular, por meio da extensão universitária, se torna um elo de acesso à educação acadêmica e valorização dos saberes locais no contexto social brasileiro. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar a experiência dois discentes do Curso Fisioterapia que organizaram facilitaram oficinas para prevenção Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) Má Postura moradores cidade distritos Ibimirim/PE partir Projeto “UFPE meu Quintal”. Foram oferecidas três cujas dinâmicas...
Abstract The small red brocket deer Mazama bororo is one of the most endangered in Neotropics. great morphological similarities with three other sympatric species, coupled fact that they inhabit densely forested habitats complicate detection and prevent use traditional methodologies for accurate identification species. ability to determine presence this species an area crucial estimating its distribution range, critical establishing conservation management strategies. Here we describe a fast...
Abstract The small red brocket deer Mazama bororo is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, a biome that has been greatly fragmented and altered by human activities. This elusive species morphologically similar americana dwarf nana , genetic typing necessary for reliable identification. To determine geographical range of M. more accurately, we conducted non-invasive sampling using scat detection dogs trained locate faeces. We surveyed 46 protected areas located within species’ potential...
Aim . The aim of the present paper was to evaluate genotypic diversity S. mutans in caries-free and caries-active preschool children Brazil. Design Twenty-eight were examined regarding caries experience by dmft index. DNA from 280 isolates extracted. evaluated using PCR method, with primers for glucosyltransferase gene. genetic analyzed arbitrary primed-PCR (AP-PCR) reactions. differences between dmft/caries test Spearman's correlation. Results Spearman correlation showed a strong...

Nine isolates of Botryosphaeria spp. were evaluated for their growth and the production cell wall-lytic enzymes (laccase, pectinase beta-1,3-glucanase) when grown on basal medium in absence presence laccase inducer, veratryl alcohol (VA). The genetic relationship among nine collected from different host plants was determined by RAPD analyses. ITS sequence analysis showed eight closely related classified as rhodina, one isolate ribis. resolved into three main clusters based upon levels...
A sobrevivência de bactérias probióticas durante o trânsito no trato gastrointestinal é fundamental, e implica na capacidade dos microrganismos à acidez do estômago a bile para que elas possam exercer os seus efeitos benéficos sobre hospedeiro. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, "in vitro", cepas Lactobacillus originadas material fecal crianças um ano idade processo seleção probióticos. Linhagens comerciais L. casei (Lc 01TM) acidophilus (La-05 TM) foram utilizadas como controle. primeira...
Paca (Cuniculus paca Linnaeus, 1766) is the second largest rodent found in Brazil. The quality of meat and a long tradition hunting have contributed to decline natural populations this species. Hunting strictly prohibited Brazil, but spite restriction, no forensic tools are available for identification meat. We describe an efficient method, based on single nucleotide polymorphisms cytochrome b gene, that can be used differentiate biological material derived from those domestic species...
O conhecimento das enterobactérias presentes em Gavião-carijó pode trazer uma compreensão sobre as doenças infecciosas que podem acometer essa ave, como também outros animais e/ou humanos, além de mais informações espécie grande importância ecológica. Desta forma, o objetivo do estudo foi determinar na cloaca Gaviões-carijós cativos e seu perfil susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos. Inicialmente, foram coletadas amostras cloacais nove espécimes com auxílio swabs. As plaqueadas ágar MacConkey,...
Abstract Five microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized within the woolly mouse opossum ( Micoureus paraguayanus ), a Neotropical marsupial, using an enrichment cloning procedure. Between four seven alleles detected per locus, with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.358 to 0.560. These microsatellites should provide useful markers in variety of genetic analyses examine parentage, inbreeding, population structure dynamics fragmented forest habitats.
The identification of mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms is one the most efficient methods for species differentiation. Genotyping molecular markers using PCR/RFLP a reliable, sensitive and inexpensive method detection specific mutations. major causes decline in Sirenia populations are accidental intentional catches, collisions with boats habitat loss. goal present study was to identify, silico, nucleotide mutations cytochrome b gene that can be used future development forensic tools capable...
The zoanthid Palythoa caribaeorum secretes a large quantity of mucus that acts as substrate for microbial communities. Culturable bacteria associated with P. in northeastern Brazil were evaluated through 16S rRNA gene sequences. Proteobacteria was the dominant group, followed by Actinobacteria and Firmicutes. Vibrio most common genus, although other groups ability to produce biosurfactants compounds antimicrobial activity also present. studies culturable marine may contribute understanding...
Prion diseases are neurodegenerative fatal disorders that affect human and non-human mammals. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids regarded as public health problem in North America, polymorphisms at specific codons the PRNP gene associated with this disease. To assess potential CWD susceptibility South American free-ranging deer, presence these was examined Mazama gouazoubira, Ozotoceros bezoarticus Blastocerus dichotomus. Despite lack reports Brazil, (95, 96, 116,...
The aim of this preliminary study was to identify microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance profile and biofilm producers in oropharynx Rupornis magnirostris Caracara plancus . Six R. six C. maintained Triage Center for Wild Animals (CETAS) facilities were studied. Coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS), enterobacteria, yeasts identified by the biochemical analysis or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. analyzed according CLSI. production evaluated Congo red violet crystal staining methods....
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze the reproductive stage, histology and morphometry of ovary Dermanura cinerea in an Atlantic Forest fragments Biological Reserve Saltinho, Pernambuco, Brazil. Adult females were captured monthly by mist net, during two consecutive nights from June/2014 November/2015. The meteorological data provided National Institute Meteorology grouped together with data, six periods: period I (June August/2014), II (September November/2014), III (December/2014...
O conhecimento da morfologia macro e microscópica do trato intestinal gavião de beira estrada (Rupornis magniostris) pode trazer uma maior compreensão seus hábitos alimentares, auxiliar nas informações sobre as relações interespecíficas, vez que essas aves são predadores topo, sendo importantes agentes bióticos na manutenção dos ecossistemas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar morfologicamente gavião-carijó. Para a análise foram utilizadas doze espécimes (seis para morfometria...
