isolation and identification of 9-methylgermacrene-b as the putative sex pheromone of lutzomyia cruzi (mangabeira, 1938) (diptera: psychodidae).	lutzomyia (lutzomyia) cruzi has been named as a probable vector of leishmania chagasi in corumbá, mato grosso do sul, brazil. taxonomically l. cruzi is closely related to the l. longipalpis species complex. females of l. cruzi and l. longipalpis are morphologically indistinguishable and associated males must be examined carefully to confirm identifications. chemical analysis hexane extracts of male l. cruzi has revealed the presence of a 9-methylgermacrene-b (c16), a homosesquiterpene (mw 218) p ...	2002	12048580

serological evidence of paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in chickens from paraná and mato grosso do sul states, brazil.	the objective of this study was to detect antibodies against paracoccidioides brasiliensis in free-range and caged chickens gallus domesticus. initially, the humoral immune response of two chickens immunized with p. brasiliensis was evaluated. both animals showed the production of antibodies to gp43, the major p. brasiliensis antigen. the seroepidemiological survey was conducted in chickens from the pantanal region in mato grosso do sul state (free-range n = 40) and from northern region of paran ...	2011	20853143
serological detection of west nile virus in horses and chicken from pantanal, brazil.	in an effort to detect west nile virus (wnv) in brazil, we sampled serum from horses and chickens from the pantanal region of the state of mato grosso and tested for flavivirus-reactive antibodies by blocking elisa. the positive samples were further confirmed for serological evidence of wnv infection in three (8%) of the 38 horses and one (3.2%) of the 31 chickens using an 80% plaque-reduction neutralisation test (prnt80). these results provide evidence of the circulation of wnv in chickens and ...	2012	23295763
a temporal study of salmonella enterica serotypes from broiler farms in brazil.	the present study analyzes the characteristics of salmonella spp. from broiler chicken farms in brazil. in total, 82 salmonella spp. strains were characterized by serotyping, determining susceptibility to antimicrobials, and using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge). fifteen salmonella serotypes were identified, among which minnesota (40.24%), infantis (14.63%), heidelberg (7.31%), senftenberg (6.09%), and mbandaka (6.09%) were the most frequent. salmonella minnesota occurred mostly in the s ...	2015	25595481
