A historical review of the techniques of recovery of parasites for their detect...
Soares,Felipe Augusto; Benitez,Aline do Nascimento; Santos,Bianca Martins dos; Loiola,Saulo Hudson Nery; Rosa,Stefany Laryssa; Nagata,Walter BertequiniAbstract Since the early 20th century, the detection of intestinal parasites has improved with the development of several techniques for parasitic structures recovery and identification, which differ in sensitivity, specificity, practicality, cost, and infrastructure demand. This study aims to review, in chronological order, the stool examination techniques and discuss their advantages, limitations, and perspec...
Spatial and seroepidemiology of canine visceral leishmaniasis in an endemic Sou...
Rodrigues,Tamiris Fagundes; Benitez,Aline do Nascimento; Sevá,Anaiá da Paixão; Okamura,Lucas Hidenori; Galvão,André Batista; Gomes,Jancarlo FerreiraAbstract INTRODUCTION: Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a public health problem, and its prevalence is associated with the coexistence of vectors and reservoirs. CVL is a protozoonosis caused by Leishmania infantum that is endemic in the southeast region of Brazil. Thus, vector and canine reservoir control strategies are needed to reduce its burden. This study aimed to verify the CVL seroprevalence and ep...
Characterization of prenatal healthcare for implementation of congenital toxopl...
Benitez,Aline do Nascimento; Gomes,Jancarlo Ferreira; Dias,Milenne Ura Seixas Santos; Navarro,Italmar Teodorico; Mitsuka-Breganó,ReginaABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Prenatal toxoplasmosis remains a neglected disease worldwide and few government programs focusing on its prevention are available. Success in these programs has been extensively reported in the literature, yet the strategies used for their implementation, as a model for such actions in different communities, have not been described. OBJECTIVE: To describe the aspects of prenatal care strate...
Comparative study of five techniques for the diagnosis of canine gastrointestin...
Coelho,Willian Marinho Dourado; Gomes,Jancarlo Ferreira; Falcão,Alexandre Xavier; Santos,Bianca Martins dos; Soares,Felipe AugustoDifferences in the efficacy of diagnostic techniques employed in the parasitological examination of feces are a limiting factor of this laboratory procedure in the field of Veterinary Parasitology. To verify advances in this type of examination in dogs, we conducted a study using a new technique (TFGII/Dog). Fifty naturally infected dogs were housed in individual stalls, and their feces were evaluated comparati...

Participaram do estudo 400 cabritos, com idade entre três e 360 dias, de ambos os sexos, com e sem padrão racial definido, procedentes de 25 estabelecimentos rurais distribuídos em três circuitos. As fezes foram cadastradas de acordo com o aspecto e cor, distribuídas em tubos ...
Redescription and taxonomical considerations about Aonchotheca (Aonchotheca) pu...
Cardia,Daniel Fontana Ferreira; Hoppe,Estevam Guilherme Lux; Tebaldi,José Hairton; Fornazari,Felipe; Menozzi,Benedito Donizete; Langoni,HelioPterothominx pulchra (Freitas, 1934) are little known gastric nematodes of Nyctinomops laticaudatus (Chiroptera: Molossidae). Information about the occurrence and host range of these parasites in Neotropical region is still scanty, and the only two morphological descriptions available in the literature are divergent about the presence or absence of a spiny spicular sheath in males, which may lead to incorrect t...
A new laboratorial method for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites in dogs
Coelho,Willian Marinho Dourado; Gomes,Jancarlo Ferreira; Amarante,Alessandro Francisco Talamini do; Bresciani,Katia Denise Saraiva; Lumina,GiulianoIn this study, we aimed to introduce a new technique calledTF-Test Modified∕Dog for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites in dogs. Fecal samples from 106 dogs were processed by the technique TF-Test Modified∕Dog and the techniques of centrifugation-flotation in zinc sulfate, simple-flotation by saturated solution of sodium chloride, direct microscopy exam and TF-Test Conventional. Sensitivity was higher i...
Molecular and parasitological detection of Leishmania spp. in a dipteran of the...
Coelho,Willian Marinho Dourado; Bresciani,Katia Denise SaraivaLeishmaniasis is an important chronic zoonosis caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania spp. The major vectors of this protozoosis are sand flies, and Lutzomyia longipalpis is considered the main species implicated in the transmission of American Visceral Leishmaniasis in Brazil. The presence of the parasite's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in ectoparasites such as ticks and fleas has prompted speculations about...
Occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in goat kids
Coelho,Willian Marinho Dourado; Amarante,Alessandro Francisco Talamini do; Bresciani,Katia Denise SaraivaFecal samples from male and female goat kids, of different breeds and up to one year of age, were analyzed to determine egg and oocyst counts per gram of feces (EPG and OPG, respectively), and fecal culturing was performed to identify nematode genera. Helminth eggs and Eimeria spp. oocysts were found in 93.06% (188/202) and 77.22% (156/202) of the fecal samples, respectively. From fecal cultures, the following ...
