Good manufacturing practices of minimally processed vegetables reduce contamina...
Maldonade, Iriani Rodrigues; Ginani, Verônica Cortez; Riquette, Roberta Figueiredo Resende; Gonçalves, Rodrigo Gurgel; Mendes, Vinícios SilveiraConsumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables is quick, easy and healthy, especially when eaten without cooking. However, they might be a source of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and parasitological contamination of fresh RTE vegetables produced in agroindustries in the Federal District of Brazil (FD), and to correlate contamination with good ...

The role of gallery forests in maintaining Phlebotominae populations: potential...
Machado, Tâmara Dias Oliveira; Souza, Thaís Tâmara Castro Minuzzi; Ferreira, Tauana de Sousa; Freire, Luciana Pereira; Timbó, Renata VelôzoBackground: knowledge on synanthropic phlebotomines and their natural infection by Leishmania is necessary for the identification of potential areas for leishmaniasis occurrence. Objective: to analyse the occurrence of Phlebotominae in gallery forests and household units (HUs) in the city of Palmas and to determine the rate of natural infection by trypanosomatids. Methods: gallery forests and adjacent household...
Geographic distribution of phlebotomine sandfly species (Diptera: Psychodidae) ...
Almeida, Paulo Silva de; Andrade, Andrey José de; Sciamarelli, Alan; Raizer, Josué; Menegatti, Jaqueline AparecidaThis study updates the geographic distributions of phlebotomine species in Central-West Brazil and analyses the climatic factors associated with their occurrence. The data were obtained from the entomology services of the state departments of health in Central-West Brazil, scientific collections and a literature review of articles from 1962-2014. Ecological niche models were produced for sandfly species with mo...

Gonçalves, Rodrigo Gurgel; Cuba, César Augusto CubaPsammolestes tertius Lent & Jurberg, 1965 is a sylvatic triatomine bug species that occurs in thornbird nests in Brazil. We studied infestation of 527 nests of Phacellodomus rufifrons Wied, 1821 and Phacellodomus ruber Vieillot, 1817 by P. tertius in eight Brazilian states across the Cerrado and Caatinga ecoregions. Psammolestes tertius occurred in 44% of the nests, mainly in those of P. ruber. Overall, 3,261 s...
Intestinal parasites in two indigenous ethnic groups in northwestern Amazonia
Oliveira, Raylene Andrade; Gonçalves, Rodrigo Gurgel; Machado, Eleuza RodriguesAproximadamente 90% da população no noroeste da Amazônia é composta de grupos indígenas e o acesso deles aos serviços de saúde ainda é um desafio. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a frequência de parasitos em dois grupos indígenas (Baré e Baniwa) no noroeste da Amazônia. Amostras de fezes de 270 indivíduos (199 Baniwa e 71 Baré) foram analisadas pelos métodos de Richie e sedimentação espontânea. Foram det...
