| observations on the feeding habits of lutzomyia longipalpis (lutz & neiva, 1912) (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) in campo grande, an endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis in mato grosso do sul, brazil. | sand flies were captured weekly with cdc light traps from december 2003 to november 2005 in three areas of campo grande, in the brazilian state of mato grosso do sul. these areas incorporated two patches of remnant forest and five houses. the blood meals of engorged female sand flies were identified using the avidin-biotin system of immunoenzymatic elisa capture. most (327/355) of the females analysed were lutzomyia longipalpis, of which 66.4% reacted with human blood, 64.8% with that of birds a ... | 2008 | 18611387 |
| high genetic diversity in rdrp gene of brazilian porcine sapovirus strains. | sapovirus is one genus within caliciviridae family that causes diarrhea in humans and animals. sapovirus (sav) has been classified into seven genogroups (gi to gvii). the giii, gvi, and gvii, which prototype is cowden, jj681, and k7/jp strains, respectively, infect pigs. the objective of this study was to characterize wild-type brazilian sav strains from piglet stool samples and determine sav infection frequency, age distribution and association with diarrheic disease. stool samples from 113 pig ... | 2008 | 18403136 |
| detection of pneumocystis spp. in lung samples from pigs in brazil. | the genus pneumocystis is composed of opportunistic fungi currently considered as specific pulmonary pathogens in humans and other mammals. in pigs, pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) could create significant economical losses due to its detrimental effects on growth, food conversion, and carcass/viscera condemnation. this study revealed that pneumocystis organisms could be detected by grocott's staining or immunohistochemistry in 36.9% of 564 slaughtered pigs from two geographic regions of brazil. th ... | 2007 | 17654265 |
| g and p genotypes of group a rotavirus strains circulating in calves in brazil, 1996-1999. | fifty fecal samples from calves with diarrhea, positive for group a rotavirus by enzyme immunoassay (eia) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (page) were analyzed by a nested multiplex reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (nested multiplex/rt-pcr) for identification of p and g genotypes. samples were collected between 1996 and 1999 from eight dairy and/or beef cattle herds located in the mato grosso do sul, são paulo, goiás and paraná states, brazil. complete genotyping was possibl ... | 2004 | 15066719 |
| detection of lawsonia intracellularis in faeces of swine from the main producing regions in brazil. | swine proliferative enteropathy is an enteric disease caused by lawsonia intracellularis which affects animals between 6 and 20 weeks of age, causing diarrhea, anorexia, and poor growth. the presence of l. intracellularis was evaluated in the faecal samples of 636 swine from 75 randomly chosen herds in the main swine-producing regions of brazil. the pathogen was detected by the polymerase chain reaction method (pcr) using l. intracellularis specific primers. a 319-bp dna fragment specific for l. ... | 1999 | 10408095 |
| epidemiological factors related to the transmission risk of trypanosoma cruzi in a quilombola community, state of mato grosso do sul, brazil. | this work was an epidemiological investigation of the risk of trypanosoma cruzi transmission in the rural quilombola community of furnas do dionízio, state of mato grosso do sul, brazil. | 2011 | 22031072 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in swine matrices in nova mutum and diamantino, mato grosso, brazil. | this report aimed to assess the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in 708 swine matrices in nova mutum and diamantino in the state of mato grosso, central-west brazil. serum samples were examined by indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat). it was found a seroprevalence of 12.8%, considering titers ≥ 64. therefore, the data reinforce the need for appropriate management of swine raising to minimize the risk of infection of pigs with t. gondii. | 2010 | 21184704 |
| ochratoxin a in serum of swine from different brazilian states. | the aims of the current study were to monitor the presence of ochratoxin a (ota) in the serum of slaughtered swine and to investigate its distribution in 4 major geographical regions of brazil. a total of 400 samples of serum were collected from 4 major states of brazil (100 samples each). ochratoxin a concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. in santa catarina state, 60% of the samples had ota concentrations ranging from 4.01 to 75.4 mg/l. in mato grosso state, 7 ... | 2010 | 20807935 |
| animal cysticercosis in indigenous brazilian villages. | sanitary inspection of beef and pork meat has been the major tool for diagnosing animal cysticercosis and for preventing taeniasis in brazil. the indigenous villages jaguapiru and bororo are located close to the urban area of the municipality of dourados in the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil, where precarious basic sanitation conditions are observed. both cattle and pigs are raised for self-consumption of meat and milk as well as for sale on the external market, generally without official s ... | 2010 | 20624354 |
| serological and molecular investigation of the prevalence of aujeszky's disease in feral swine (sus scrofa) in the subregions of the pantanal wetland, brazil. | the feral swine (fs) originated from the domestic pig and is present throughout the brazilian wetland plain (the pantanal). aujeszky's disease (ad) was first serologically confirmed in the state of mato grosso do sul (ms) in 2001; however, there was no viral confirmation. the aim of this study was to investigate antibodies against-suhv-1 in the sera of feral swine in the studied areas, detect suhv-1 through pcr and classify the viral genome. among the 218 animals sampled, 186 were analyzed by el ... | 2013 | 23639473 |
| genetic characterisation of porcine circovirus type 2 (pcv2) strains from feral pigs in the brazilian pantanal: an opportunity to reconstruct the history of pcv2 evolution. | since its discovery, porcine circovirus type 2 has emerged as one of the most relevant swine infectious diseases, causing relevant economic losses for the pig industry. while four genotypes were identified, only three (pcv2a, pcv2b and pcv2d) are currently circulating and display a worldwide distribution. another genotype, pcv2c, has been described only once in danish archive samples collected between 1980 and 1990. in addition to commercial pigs, pcv2 has been demonstrated to infect wild boars ... | 2015 | 25975522 |
