A key step in the dynamics of vector-borne diseases is role seasonality. Trypanosoma cruzi a protozoan that causes Chagas disease. Some wild mammals are considered natural hosts, yet not all show same response to infection. We explored effect T. on blood parameters two mammal carnivores, coati (Nasua narica) and raccoon (Procyon lotor), were naturally infected summer winter seasons. The study was carried out Zoological Park "Parque Museo de la Venta," Southeastern Mexico. Blood samples...

Bats can host pathogenic organisms such as viruses and fungi, but little is known about the pathogenicity of their parasites. Hemoparasites are frequently recorded in Neotropical bats, particularly Litomosoides (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae), effect on bats scarcely known. In this work, microfilariae were identified four (8%) out 51 sampled frugivorous belonging to three different species: Artibeus aztecus, jamaicensis, lituratus, which located Yautepec, Morelos, Mexico. Two infected animals...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a clinical and epidemiological problem of worldwide impact that affects the economy emotional state patient. Control condition is complicated due to multidrug resistance pathogens associated with disease. Considering difficulty in carrying out effective treatment antimicrobials, it necessary propose alternatives improve status patients. With this purpose, previous study, safety immunostimulant capacity polyvalent lysate designated UNAM-HIMFG prepared...

Coatis (Nasua narica) and raccoons (Procyon lotor) potentially play an important role in zoonotic diseases because they may carry pathogens can transmit them to humans. To date, our understanding of the immune function these two carnivores is deficient. The aim this study was compare number leucocyte subtypes phagocytic capacity between coati raccoon. Blood samples were collected, characterized counted by flow cytometry microscopy, respectively. Phagocytosis analysed kinetic assay....

Bats are important natural reservoir hosts of a diverse range viruses that can be transmitted to humans and have been suggested play an role in the Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission cycle. However, exact these animals as reservoirs for flaviviruses is still controversial. To further expand our understanding bats ZIKV cycle Latin America, we carried out experimental infection wild-caught Artibeus lituratus sampled several free-living neotropical across three countries region. Experimental was...

Nowadays, the third part of parrots in world is endangered or vulnerable; an alternative for their preservation assisted reproduction captivity through hormonal manipulation.In birds, GnRH main hormone which controls reproductive physiology, it known there are three types: GnRH-I, GnRH-II and GnRH-III, involved release inhibition luteinizing follicle stimulant to control gonadal gametic development.The objective this study was, evaluate effect administrating synthetic GnRH-I testicular...

Es importante diseñar técnicas eficientes, prácticas y fáciles de realizar para valorar la integridad acrosomal los espermatozoides. El objetivo fue evaluar técnica modificada tinción Giemsa valoración del borde apical normal (NAR) en espermatozoides mamíferos. Se evaluaron 140 laminillas 4 diferentes mamíferos (bovinos, ovinos, porcinos humanos), se dividieron dos grupos (70 por grupo). primer grupo, evaluó NAR con clásica el segundo, Giemsa. compararon porcentajes acrosomas tiempos cada...
