Leptospira interrogans infection in tegu lizard (Tupinambis merianae), Brazil
Fernandes,Juciê Jales; Pinheiro,Tiago Junior; Costa,Diego Figueiredo; Araújo Júnior,João Pessoa; Malossi,Camila Dantas; Ullmann,Leila SabrinaABSTRACT: We used 12 tegu lizards (Tupinambis merianae) from northeastern Brazil, and we reported nine (75%) Leptospira sp. PCR-positive animals and six (50%) seropositive. Leptospira sp. DNA sequencing revealed 99% similarity with L. interrogans. Our findings indicated that this species may play a role in the transmission of human leptospirosis.

Risk factors associated with Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in goats in the S...
Santos,Carolina de Sousa Américo Batista; Azevedo,Sérgio Santos de; Soares,Herbert Sousa; Higino,Severino Silvano dos Santos; Pena,Hilda Fátima de JesusA cross-sectional study based on planned sampling was carried out to determine flock-level risk factors associated with Toxoplasma gondii antibody prevalence in dairy goat flocks in a semiarid region of northeastern Brazil. Serum samples from 975 adult dairy goats from 110 flocks were examined by indirect immonufluorescent antibody test (IFAT), using cut-off point at 1:64 dilution. From the 110 flocks, 77 prese...
