A PCR method for the rapid identification and discrimination of thermophilic Campylobacter jejuni coli was developed by using a gene encoding protein involved in siderophore transport (ceuE). nucleotide sequence divergence approximately 13% ceuE genes C. facilitated design two species-specific primer sets. The specificity amplification reactions confirmed nonradioactively labelled internal oligonucleotide hybridization probes each these species.
Bats play key ecological roles, also hosting many zoonotic pathogens. Neotropical bat microbiota is still poorly known. We speculate that their dietary habits strongly influence richness and antibiotic-resistance patterns, which represent growing serious public health environmental issue. Here we describe the aerobic of bats from an Atlantic Forest remnant in Southeastern Brazil, patterns bacteria clinical importance. Oral rectal cavities 113 Carlos Botelho State Park were swabbed. Samples...
Plasmodium (Novyella) nucleophilum was identified using microscopy and PCR, in an Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) that died São Paulo Zoo, Brazil. This parasite is characterized by elongated gametocytes, small meronts with scant cytoplasm, less than eight merozoites mainly for having all the stages appressed to nuclei of infected erythrocytes. Additionally, (Haemamoeba) sp. same blood sample. The latter lacks nucleophilic large roundish trophozoites, each a prominent centrally...
Stingless bees are vital pollinators in tropical and neotropical regions, emphasizing the need to conserve these species. However, resource scarcity, particularly pollen, during certain periods negatively impacts bee health pollination efficiency. To address this, we developed a fermented protein feed using microorganisms from pollen of Melipona quadrifasciata, species commonly found Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The consisted bran mixture, sugar syrup, an inoculant derived species’ pollen....
Abstract The southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) is one of the two species muriquis (genus Brachyteles), largest body sized nonhuman primate from Neotropics. Deforestation and illegal hunting have led to a continuing decline in population, leading their current classification as critically endangered. lack reference genome for genus Brachyteles prevents scientists taking full advantage genomic tools improve conservation status. This study reports first whole-genome assemblies...
Background Trypanosoma cruzi is a multi-host parasite that infects dozens of mammalian species in the most variable wild environments Americas. Between 2013 and 2018, autochthonous infections by T. were suspected three European wolves ( Canis lupus ) an orange dwarf porcupine Coendou spinosus from Fundação Parque Zoológico de São Paulo (FPZSP), Brazil, current Coordenadoria Fauna Silvestre (CFS), which inserted remnant Atlantic rainforest inside one biggest populous municipality world. This...
Up until the recent past, zoos served limited function, primarily existing for entertainment value. Today’s zoos, however, are serving many roles, chief among them: species conservation of captive animals. The biggest zoo in Brazil, S?o Paulo Zoological Park Foundation, has its 2000 animals and wild cats. presence domestic cats living freely is common can be a source spreading disease. aim this study was to verify variety prevalence parasites found feces felids (feral wild) Zoo. results...
Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of worldwide distribution that affect vertebrates and can transmit pathogens to animals humans. The Zoological Park Foundation São Paulo (FPZSP) is located in a Conservation Unit one the most important remaining fragments Atlantic Rainforest biome suburbs Paulo, Brazil. FPZSP houses more than 3,000 wild on exhibit, breeding programs environmental education programs, also attracts migratory birds free-roaming wildlife. This study focused identifying diversity...
Rattus norvegicus (Mammalia: Rodentia) is a widespread and synanthropic rodent, broadly used in medical experiments. It can also be for feeding captive animals zoos. Parasitological surveys are important to guarantee the health of both staff responsible their management. The aim this study was identify intestinal parasites offered as food from São Paulo Zoo, demonstrate importance sanitary hurdling, disease control biosecurity. identified protozoan were Eimeria sp., Entamoeba Spironucleus...
Captive animals commonly have infections by direct life cycle parasites, since they are easily transmitted between individuals. However, diagnosing these in the laboratory is challenging due to wide variety of parasite, their stages and available diagnose techniques, being difficult choose best one. The present study sampled a group captive Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) from São Paulo Zoological Park Foundation, Paulo, Brazil, test compare different coproscopical techniques applied...
Summary Ramphastidae (Aves: Piciformes) are animals recognized for their exuberant colours and long bill, with distribution range from south Mexico to north Argentina. They important seed dispersers eating little vertebrates eventually. When in captivity, usually live limited spaces, high density near by species that do not share a evolution history, facilitating the occurrence of infectious diseases what they may have competent immune system against, including parasitic ones. This study...
Kerstersia gyiorum is a Gram-negative bacterium found in various animals, including humans, where it has been associated with infections. Knowledge of the basic biology K. essential to understand evolutionary strategies niche adaptation and how this organism contributes infectious diseases; however, genomic data about very limited, especially from non-human hosts. In work, we sequenced 12 genomes isolated healthy free-living brown-throated sloths ( Bradypus variegatus ) Parque Estadual das...
Abstract The black lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus ) is an endangered primate species, restricted to the Atlantic Forest fragments of São Paulo state, Brazil, with estimated wild population ~1600 individuals. Integrative studies between zoo (ex situ) and (in animals are crucial modern conservation programs. They can demonstrate a substantial impact One Health concept, interdisciplinary research frontier regarding relations human, animal, environmental health. Studies populations...
