prevalence of neospora caninum and toxoplasma gondii in sheep and dogs from guarapuava farms, paraná state, brazil.	sheep and dog blood samples were collected from nine farms in the county of guarapuava, paraná, brazil. the indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat) was used to detect neospora caninum and toxoplasma gondii antibodies. herein, serum samples from 305 sheep were evaluated, being 29 (9.5%) and 157 (51.5%) seropositives to n. caninum and t. gondii, respectively. seven (29.1%) and five (20.8%) out of 24 dogs were seropositives to n. caninum and t. gondii, respectively. there were no differences amon ...	2007	17266999
[occurrence of anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies in swine and ovine slaughtered at municipality of guarapuava in the state of paraná, brazil].	this study evaluated sero-occurrence of toxoplasmosis in swine and ovine slaughtered in the municipality of guarapuava in the state of paraná. blood samples from 117 swine and 157 ovine were collected. indirect immunofluorescence assay (ifa) was used to detect igg anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies. serum samples were considered positive at dilutions >or=1:64. out of 117 swine blood sera, 10 (8.54%) were positive, while 11 out of 157 ovine samples (7.0%) showed a reaction to t. gondii antibodies. ...	2007	17588324
prion protein gene polymorphisms in sheep in the state of paraná, brazil.	to determine the polymorphisms of the prion protein gene in sheep from the state of paraná, brazil, 323 animals of meat breeds (suffolk, hampshire down, texel, ile de france, dorper, dorset, santa inês and crossbreds) were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis. the most frequent allele was arq, with a frequency of 0.61, followed by arr (0.30). vrq and ahq alleles were present at very low frequencies (0.13 and 0.05 respectively), and the arh allele was not found. s ...	2008	18752582
triclabendazole resistance involving fasciola hepatica in sheep and goats during an outbreak in almirante tamandare, paraná, brazil.	fasciolosis is a disease of extreme importance, occurring throughout brazil, with great economic losses to the animal industry. this study aims to determine the effectiveness of treatment against fasciola hepatica on a sheep and goat farm during an outbreak of fasciolosis, in which a high proportion of deaths occurred. the farm harbored 33 sheep and 60 goats of mixed breeds with varying weights and ages. parasite control was based on suppressive, monthly treatments with moxidectin. over the cour ...	2008	20059835
[occurrence of anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies in ovine from urban and periurban areas from curitiba, parana state].	this study evaluated occurrence of the toxoplasma gondii infection in ovine from urban and periurban areas of curitiba, state of paraná, southern of brazil. blood samples from 167 sheep from three farms were collected. elisa assay was used to detect igg anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies. of 167 ovine samples, 43 (25.75%) were positive. the parasite is widespread among sheep from urban and periurban areas of curitiba.	2009	20040195
virulence determinants in vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium vana isolated from different sources at university hospital of londrina, paraná, brazil.	enterococcus faecium, especially those showing multidrug resistance, has emerged as a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. however, relatively little is known about the virulence and pathogenesis of this species. the aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of four putative virulence determinants of e. faecium and to correlate them with phenotypic traits. using forty e. faecium vana-type isolates from hospitalized patients and their environmental vicinity, we ...	2010	21221940
preliminary evaluation of hitchens-pike-todd-hewitt medium (hpth) for detection of group b streptococci in pregnant women.	we aimed to compare hitchens-pike-todd-hewitt (hpth) enrichment broth, todd-hewitt broth, and direct culture onto blood sheep agar containing selective antimicrobial (aba) in screening group b streptococci (gbs) carriage in pregnant women. from april to june 2007, duplicate lower vaginal and duplicate anorectal specimens of 102 pregnant women at 35 weeks of gestation or more, who were assisted at santa casa de misericórdia hospital, maringá, paraná, brazil, were screened by gbs using hpth, todd- ...	2010	21089171
Serological survey of paracoccidioidomycosis in sheep.	The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of antibodies against Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in sheep from Guarapuava, Paraná State, Brazil. The seroepidemiological study was carried out in 262 sheep. The samples were analyzed by ELISA and immunodiffusion test using P. brasiliensis gp43 and exoantigen as antigens, respectively. Initially, two sheep were immunized with P. brasiliensis to evaluate whether contact with the fungal cells could induce a humoral immune response agains ...	2012	21850559
