Gastrointestinal nematodes resistant to anthelmintics have been reported in several regions of Brazil, and they may be associated with economic losses for the cattle industry. This study aimed evaluate resistance status gastrointestinal from naturally infected beef commercially available anthelmintics, as well test efficacy combinations against multi-resistant nematodes. Ten farms located Rio Grande do Sul state were selected by: farmers' consent; extensive raising system; availability...

ABSTRACT: This study aims to describe the molecular detection of Sarcocystis neurona, Toxoplasma gondii, and Neospora caninum in brain samples obtained from bovine fetuses at a slaughterhouse South Brazil. Brain 35 asymptomatic pregnant beef cows underwent nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplify fragment 18S rRNA gene specific S. T. N. caninum. The amplicons were subjected two-step digestion process: first, with restriction enzyme DdeI, which differentiates gondii neurona;...

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular protozoan that can infect humans and all warm-blooded animals. Objective: The present study aimed to isolate genetically characterize T. gondii in sheep meat. Methods: was conducted a slaughterhouse, samples of masseter muscles, tongue, heart, diaphragm, blood were collected from 50 sheep. sera subjected indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) detect anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies. cutoff point used 1:64. Tissue...

Abstract Carcasses of road-killed wild animals provide critical insights into animal health and environmental conditions. However, data on the presence lung parasites their effects white-eared opossums are limited. This study examines pathological (Didelphis albiventris) found in northern Paraná, Brazil. We collected processed samples from 21 using standard histological techniques. Lung nematodes were preserved identified by morphological traits. Heterostrongylus heterostrongylus (Travassos,...

Upper digestive tract (UDT) cancer is rare in cattle, however Southern Brazil, the UDT squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are relatively common and have been associated with bracken fern consumption presence of papillomas. Although a theory pathogenesis considers bovine papillomavirus type 4 (BPV-4) as cofactor development these SCCs, some aspects etiopathogenesis this disease need to be more investigated. In fact, detection BPV-4 papillomas scarce other regions world has not performed Brazil....

The biological activities and the structural arrangement of adevonin, a novel antimicrobial peptide, were investigated. trypsin inhibitor ApTI, isolated from Adenanthera pavonina seeds, was used as template for screening 18-amino acid peptides with predicted activity. Adevonin presented activity minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging 1.86 to 7.35 µM against both Gram-positive – negative bacterial strains. Moreover, adevonin exerted time-kill effects within 10 min susceptible...

ABSTRACT: Given the numerous reports of anthelminthic resistance sheep nematodes to different anthelmintic compounds, this study aimed evaluate status gastrointestinal from naturally infected monepantel in state Rio Grande do Sul. Four farms that present extensive raising system and absence treatment for 60 days were selected study. Lambs counts eggs per gram feces (EPG) ≥200 (sensitivity 50 EPG) one day (D-1) before select randomly separated into two groups, a control group an experimental...

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the frequency of anti-Neospora caninum antibody detection in three samples and sampling methods: A prevalence study, routine diagnostic laboratory samples, fetal bovine serum samples. These were collected from cattle Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil, analyzed using indirect immunofluorescence reaction technique. For each method, a historical was used as reference for comparison. In 1,248 2020 2022. The N. RS state 22.8% (285/1248). figure...
