Abstract Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. due to roads (hereafter road‐kill) can affect dynamic populations many species and can, therefore, increase risk local decline or extinction. This especially true in Brazil, where plans for network upgrading expansion overlaps biodiversity hotspot areas, which are high importance global conservation. Researchers, conservationists planners face challenge define a national strategy...
Abstract Anaplasmataceae agents are obligatory intracellular Gram-negative α-proteobacteria that transmitted mostly by arthropod vectors. Although mammals of the Superorder Xenarthra (sloths, anteaters, and armadillos) have been implicated as reservoirs for several zoonotic agents, only few studies sought to detect in this group mammals. This study aimed investigate occurrence genetic diversity Anaplasma spp. Ehrlichia blood spleen samples free-living from four different states Brazil (São...
Although mammals of the superorder Xenarthra are considered hosts a wide range zoonotic agents, works aiming at investigating role these animals as for bacteria with potential rare. The present study aimed to investigate occurrence and molecularly characterize Coxiella burnetii haemoplasma (haemotropic mycoplasmas) DNA in blood spleen samples from 397 free-living (233 sloths, 107 anteaters 57 armadillos) five Brazilian states (Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Pará, Rondônia Rio Grande Sul)....
The superorder Xenarthra consists of sloths, anteaters and armadillos, mammals originated from South America currently distributed the south North to America. present study aimed investigate occurrence genetic diversity Bartonella spp. in blood spleen samples free-living states São Paulo (SP), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Rondônia (RO) Pará (PA). Based on a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay, nuoG gene fragment was detected 1.51% (5/330) samples: 4 six-banded armadillos (Euphractus...
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is one of the most important tick-borne diseases worldwide, with multisystemic presentations. Immune dysregulation has been proposed as primary mechanism involved in its pathogenesis and tissue injury dogs CME. Experimental infection German Shepherd present study demonstrated that CME caused marked pathological changes their lymph nodes spleen, also gave rise to mononuclear infiltration organs tissues. Immunophenotyping cells nodes, spleen injured tissues...
South American opossums (Didelphis spp.) are definitive hosts of Sarcocystis neurona, speeri, lindsayi and falcatula. In Brazil, diverse studies have demonstrated a high frequency falcatula-like in sporocysts derived from opossums, genetic diversity has been observed surface antigen-encoding genes (SAGs). this study, spp. Didelphis albiventris aurita the cities Campo Grande São Paulo, was accessed by sequencing SAG2, SAG3, SAG4, first internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1) cytochrome c oxidase...
The main goal of this dataset is a compilation geo-referenced road-kill data from published and unpublished road surveys. encompasses records 45 personal communications 26 studies in peer-reviewed journals, theses, reports. comprises 21,512 records, 83% which are identified to the species level (n = 450 species). This can be used identify taxa seem vulnerable traffic, analyze temporal spatial patterns at local, regional, national scales also understand effects on population persistence....
Clostridium perfringens types A and C, which are gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria, can cause necrotic enteritis in birds. Although is considered a commensal organism the avian intestinal tract, association with severe stress, other infectious agents, or immunosuppressive conditions, it disease outbreaks. This report describes occurrence of caused by C macaws (Ara ararauna). Two adult male blue gold maintained zoo exhibit were presented for postmortem examinations after...
Aberrations of genes/proteins regulating cell cycle and growth, increased proliferation telomerase activity (TA) are documentable in glioblastoma multiforme. TA is more frequently detectable secondary glioblastoma, which also characterized by p53 mutation/overexpression. Discordant telomere (Te) length values have been reported glioblastomas with without TA. In 31 glioblastomas, pre-existing astrocytoma was not documented, we compared cases for the expression p53, EGFR, c-Myc, MIB-1...
Abstract As the second-largest Neotropical carnivore, cougars (Puma concolor) are especially important for maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem health. Five wild adult concolor), found roadkilled in highways Northeastern region São Paulo, were evaluated search parasites. Ten species representing nine families identified. The most prevalent helminths Uncinaria bidens, Lagochilascaris major, Spirometra sp., Oncicola canis, followed by Cylicospirura subaequalis, Toxascaris leonina, Taenia...
Abstract The aim of this study was to report, for the first time, occurrence hippoboscid fly Ornithoctona erythrocephala on a red-legged seriema (Cariama cristata). A Diptera specimen found among feathers free-living seriema, which referred necropsy at Wild Animal Pathology Service, UNESP Jaboticabal. collected, stored in absolute alcohol, and shipped Institute Biosciences Federal University Mato Grosso do Sul proper identification. Based morphological characters, identified as female...
This report presents a description of natural infection an adult free-living guira cuckoo with Paratanaisia confusa. Histological and morphological evaluations renal parasite samples were performed. The analysis the parasites revealed spiny tegument, characteristic P. confusa helminthes. Although macroscopic alterations absent in kidneys, histopathology inside collecting ducts causing dilatation destruction lining epithelial cells addition to small focal inflammatory infiltrates parenchyma....
Abstract Digenetic eucotylids of the Paratanaisia genus are widely reported parasites avian renal system. The infection, commonly in free-living and zoo-housed birds, is described for first time a domiciled bird, cockatiel kept as pet bird with free access to yard outdoors. was received at Veterinary Hospital, where clinical radiographic evaluations suggested case heavy-metal poisoning. Although supportive care chelating agent, it died next day. necropsy showed friable kidneys congestion...
Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are Apicomplexan intracellular protozoan parasites that affect numerous animal species, thus leading to severe diseases economic losses, depending on the vertebrate species involved. The role of avian in maintaining transmission these coccidia has been studied for several years as they tend serve a potential source infection mammals humans. present study aimed assess serological exposure Orinoco goose (Neochen jubata) T. N. caninum. Between 2010 2013,...
Over the past years, number of neoplasm cases reported in nonhuman primates have considerably increased, with hepatocellular tumors several species. Here a case report extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma an adult male Black Howler Monkey (Alouatta caraya) is presented. The animal, kept as pet, was admitted at Veterinary Hospital presented clinical signs cholestasis. After unsuccessful drug treatment, animal submitted to cholecystoduodenostomy. During surgical procedure, hepatobiliary system...
The aim of this study was to characterize the trade unconventional pets in city Concórdia, Santa Catarina. Twelve establishments that animals or food were visually inspected and respective owners requested fill a questionnaire. It found birds are most commercialized group (77%) these establishments, followed by rabbits (55.5%), rodents (55.5%) black-bellied sliders (44.4%). These acquired from legalized informal breeders quarantine not usually performed. Regarding feed, indicated seed...
Abstract Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurological disease caused by Sarcocystis neurona. Immunofluorescence antibody tests (IFATs) have been widely used to identify exposure of horses S. neurona in Brazil. Here we IFAT search for IgG antibodies against falcatula-like (Dal-CG23) and (SN138) sera from 342 sampled Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state (Midwestern), São Paulo, Paulo (Southeastern), The 1:25 cutoff value was chosen maximize sensitivity the test. were detected...
ABSTRACT An adult, female, 31kg body weight, free range Myrmecophaga tridactyla was referred for medical consultation due to apathy, dehydration, intense flatulence and fetid stools. The animal submitted chemical restraint physical examination, blood count, fecal analysis, vaginal cytology abdominal ultrasonography were performed. Good nutritional status clinical variables within the normal observed at examination. At leukocytes, spermatozoa a large proportion of cornified cells...
