Ribeiro,Márcio G.; Nardi Júnior,Geraldo de; Megid,Jane; Franco,Marília M.J.; Guerra,Simony T.; Portilho,Fábio V.R.; Rodrigues,Sérgio A.; Paes,Antonio C.ABSTRACT: Tetanus is characterized by high case fatality rates in horses. Comprehensive case series studies involving equine tetanus from different geographic areas enable the evaluation of prognosis, efficacy of treatment, and control measures. We retrospectively investigated some selected epidemiological data (breed, age, gender, use of the horses, history of vaccination, seasonality, presence of wound/histor...
Ticks infesting wild small rodents in three areas of the state of São Paulo, Br...
Martins,Thiago Fernandes; Peres,Marina Gea; Costa,Francisco Borges; Bacchiega,Thais Silva; Appolinario,Camila MicheleABSTRACT: From May to September 2011, a total of 138 wild rodents of the Cricetidae family were collected in the cities of Anhembi, Bofete and Torre de Pedra, in São Paulo State. All animals were examined for the presence of ticks, which were collected and identified at species level in the laboratory by morphological examination (for adults, nymphs and larvae) and molecular biology, by sequencing of a fragment...
Viral type characterization and clinical aspects of canine parvovirus in natura...
Monteiro,Kyssia; Allendorf,Susan D.; Vicente,Acácia F.; Appolinário,Camila M.; Peres,Marina G.; Cortez,Adriana; Heinemann,Marcos B.; Megid,JaneABSTRACT: Since the first isolation of canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) in late 70’s new virus types as CPV-2a and CPV-2b have been emerged and becoming prevalent in natural canine population and more recently, a third subtype was identified , CPV-2c. The main purpose of this study was to detect and characterize canine parvovirus currently present in Central-West region of São Paulo state, in Brazil. Fecal samp...

Paula,Carolina Lechinski de; Mioni,Mateus de Souza Ribeiro; Appolinário,Camila Michele; Katayama,Edson Ryuiti; Allendorf,Susan Dora; Megid,JaneA brucelose é uma importante zoonose causada por bactérias do gênero Brucella. O homem é infectado pelo contato com as secreções reprodutivas como placenta, lóquios placentários, sêmen e secreções penianas de animais infectados ou pelo consumo de leite e derivados não pasteurizados. Com o objetivo de pesquisar a presença da bactéria no leite, foram avaliadas, através da técnica da reação em cadeia da polimerase...

Silva,Rodrigo Costa da; Caffaro,Karen; Paula,Carolina Lechinski; Risseti,Rafaela Mastrangelo; Langoni,Helio; Megid,Jane; Melanchauski,Mariana SerranoToxoplasmosis and leishmaniasis are two worldwide zoonoses caused by the protozoan parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Leishmania spp., respectively. This report describes the clinical and laboratorial findings of a co-infection with both parasites in a 4-year-old female dog suspected of ehrlichiosis that presented anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobulinemia, tachyzoite-like structures to the lung ...
Evaluation of short-interfering RNAs treatment in experimental rabies due to wi...
Appolinario,Camila Michele; Allendorf,Susan Dora; Peres,Marina Gea; Fonseca,Clovis Reynaldo; Vicente,Acacia FerreiraABSTRACTWe have evaluated the efficacy of short-interfering RNAs targeting the nucleoprotein gene and also the brain immune response in treated and non-treated infected mice. Mice were inoculated with wild-type virus, classified as dog (hv2) or vampire bat (hv3) variants and both groups were treated or leaved as controls. No difference was observed in the lethality rate between treated and non-treated groups, a...
Fluorescent antibody test, quantitative polymerase chain reaction pattern and c...
Appolinário,Camila; Allendorf,Susan Dora; Vicente,Acácia Ferreira; Ribeiro,Bruna Devidé; Fonseca,Clóvis Reinaldo da; Antunes,João MarceloABSTRACTRabies virus (RABV) isolated from different mammals seems to have unique characteristics that influence the outcome of infection. RABV circulates in nature and is maintained by reservoirs that are responsible for the persistence of the disease for almost 4000 years. Considering the different pattern of pathogenicity of RABV strains in naturally and experimentally infected animals, the aim of this study ...

Foram utilizados 60 cães apresentando quadro neurológico da cinomose com evolução de 10 dias. Os animais foram internados e receberam tratamento de suporte; foram avaliados diariamente e realizados hemograma, dosagem bioquímica e exame de urina tipo I. Os grupos 1...
Canine distemper virus infection in a lesser grison (Galictis cuja): first repo...
Megid,Jane; Teixeira,Carlos R.; Cortez,Adriana; Heinemann,Marcos B.; Antunes,João M.A.P.; Fornazari,Felipe; Rassy,Fabricio B.; Richtzenhain,Leonardo J.Infectious diseases in wild animals have been increasing as a result of their habitat alterations and closer contact with domestic animals. Canine distemper virus (CDV) has been reported in several species of wild carnivores, presenting a threat to wildlife conservation. We described the first case of canine distemper virus infection in lesser grison (Galictis cuja). A free-ranging individual, with no visible c...
Soropositividade para brucelose em suínos em abatedouros
Rosa,Diego C.; Garcia,Keila C.O.D.; Megid,JaneO presente trabalho teve por objetivo investigar a soropositividade para brucelose em suínos em abatedouros. Foram coletados 910 soros de suínos, procedentes de 30 propriedades, abatidos em frigoríficos da região central do estado de São Paulo, e submetidos às provas de soroaglutinaçao com antígeno tamponado acidificado (AAT) e 2-Mercaptoetanol (2-Me) objetivando determinar a ocorrência da enfermidade nesta esp...
