Human intestinal parasites constitute a problem in most tropical countries, causing death or physical and mental disorders. Their diagnosis usually relies on the visual analysis of microscopy images, with error rates that may range from moderate to high. The has been addressed via computational image analysis, but only for few species images free fecal impurities. In routine, impurities are real challenge automatic analysis. We have circumvented this by method can segment classify, bright...
On 12 January 2024, Cabo Verde was officially certified by the WHO as a malaria-free country after six consecutive years without local transmission. This study analysed malaria history of from 1953 to certification in highlighted valuable lessons learned, and discussed challenges for prevention reintroduction. Malaria data last 35 (1988–2022) were using descriptive analyses, cases mapped USGS National Map Viewer. From 1988 2022, 3,089 reported, 2.381 (77.1%) locally 708 (22.9%) imported....
Despite the existence of therapeutic and prophylactic measures, gastrointestinal parasites are common in pets. Due to zoonotic potential some species, parasitic protozoa helminths great importance public health. In this study, we investigated occurrence main domestic dog puppies city Araçatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. One hundred fecal samples were collected from dogs up six months age. Parasites diagnosed using three methods; Willis’, Faust's malachite green coproparasitological...
O manejo adequado da dor no pós-operatório de cirurgias ortopédicas desempenha um papel fundamental na recuperação do paciente, influenciando a mobilização precoce, qualidade reabilitação e redução tempo internação. controle inadequado pode levar complicações como imobilidade prolongada, aumento consumo opioides piora vida. Diante disso, esta revisão sistemática teve objetivo analisar as principais estratégias anestésicas utilizadas pós-operatória em ortopédicas, com foco eficácia analgesia...
ABSTRACT This study presents the first cytogenetic characterization of Pseudoloricaria laeviuscula, a species widely distributed in Amazon and Tocantins-Araguaia basins. Individuals collected from Negro River, Amazonas, Brazil, exhibited diploid chromosome number (2n) 54, with karyotypic formula 14m + 10sm 4st 26a fundamental 82. The nucleolus organizer region (NOR) was interstitially located on pair subtelocentric chromosomes, confirmed via FISH using 18S rDNA probe. Constitutive...

Intestinal parasitosis constitutes a serious health problem in most tropical countries. The diagnosis of enteroparasites laboratory routine relies on the examination stool samples using optical microscopy and error rates usually range from moderate to high. Approaches based automatic image analysis have been proposed, but methods are specific for some species, them computationally expensive, acquisition focus manual. We present solution automate 15 common species Brazil, sensitive...
Abstract Intestinal parasitic infections are currently a source of concern for Public Health agencies in developing and developed countries. Since three ovum‐and‐parasite stool examinations have been demonstrated to provide sensitive results, we designed practical economical kit (TF‐Test) that is now commercially available (Immunoassay Com. Ind. Ltda., São Paulo, Brazil). This allows the separate collection fecal specimens into preservative solution. The then pooled, double‐filtered,...
After a gastroenteritis outbreak of unknown etiology in the municipality Sebastião da Grama, SãoPaulo, Brazil, we conducted parasitological survey to establish epidemiological profile enteroparasitosis children and staff members attending public urban schools operation town. The cross-sectional study evaluated 172 aged 11 months 6 years old 33 19 58 old. Overall, 96 (55.81%) 20 (60.61%) were mono-parasitized, while (33.72%) 4 (12.12%) workers poly-parasitized. Protozoa (88.37%; 72.73%) was...
Although leptospirosis has been considered a major concern in urban areas, no study to date spatially and simultaneously compared both owner dog serology households of cities. Accordingly, the aim present was assess seroprevalence Leptospira antibodies, evaluate associated risk factors conduct spatial analyses 565 randomly selected households, which included 597 owners 729 dogs Londrina, Southern Brazil. Seropositivity by MAT were detected 11/597 (1.84%) 155/729 (21.26%) dogs. The evaluated...
Intestinal parasitosis is highly prevalent worldwide, being among the main causes of illness and death in humans. Currently, laboratory diagnosis intestinal parasites accomplished through manual technical procedures, mostly developed decades ago, which justifies development more sensitive practical techniques. Therefore, objective this study was to develop, evaluate, validate a new parasitological technique referred as TF-Test Modified, comparison three conventional techniques: Conventional;...
Gastrointestinal helminthosis in ruminants cause considerable economic losses, with marked impairment of productivity these animals, especially poor management systems and parasite control programs. Infections caused by helminths represent an obstacle to the expansion sheep industry. Furthermore, high burdens were associated increased mortality calves. The recommended methods for gastrointestinal not always have practical applicability. We discuss important epidemiological aspects concerning...
Because canine intestinal parasites are considered cosmopolitan, they carry significant zoonotic potential to public health. These etiological agents routinely diagnosed using microscopic examination commonly used because of its low cost, simple execution, and direct evidence. However, there reports in the literature on poor performance this test due moderate sensitivity resulting from frequent errors, procedures interpretation. Therefore, improve diagnostic efficiency veterinary medicine,...
In this study, we aimed to introduce a new technique calledTF-Test Modified∕Dog for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites in dogs. Fecal samples from 106 dogs were processed by TF-Test and techniques centrifugation-flotation zinc sulfate, simple-flotation saturated solution sodium chloride, direct microscopy exam Conventional. Sensitivity was higher (98.41%), followed flotation sulfate (77.78%), Conventional (73.02%), chloride (55.55%), (30.16%). The diagnostic efficiency varied 58.49%...
Differences in the efficacy of diagnostic techniques employed parasitological examination feces are a limiting factor this laboratory procedure field Veterinary Parasitology. To verify advances type dogs, we conducted study using new technique (TFGII/Dog). Fifty naturally infected dogs were housed individual stalls, and their evaluated comparatively four other conventional techniques. The TFGII/Dog showed high levels sensitivity efficiency, surpassing accuracy with kappa concordance index...
Techniques for diagnosing intestinal parasites need technological advancements in the preanalytical (collection/processing) and analytical (detection) stages. The dissolved air flotation (DAF) technique effectively recovers from processed feces routine diagnosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a practical affordable alternative to modernize analysis stage of microscopy images generates high efficiency parasitological examination feces.
