No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Background: Considering the importance of leptospirosis in sheep farming and public health and the significance of identifying which serogroups circulate in sheep within each region, the objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and spatial distribution of the most frequent serogroups ...
Epidemiological survey for goat leptospirosis in two distinct biomes in Northea...
Viana, Maira Porto; Silva, José Dêvede da; Lima, Ana Milena César; Alves, Francisco Selmo Fernandes; Pinheiro, Raymundo RizaldoCaprine breeding is a largely exploited activity in Brazil, with a herd of over 10 million goats concentrated mostly in the Northeast region, which contains 93.9% of the national herd. However, this region is affected by huge losses due to inappropriate management and illness occurrence, such as leptospirosis, a reproductive disease that causes economic and productive losses. Considering these previous statemen...
Epidemiological characterization and risk factors associated with Brucella ovis...
Lima, Ana Milena César; Alves, Francisco Selmo Fernandes; Alves, Samilly Mesquita; Santos, Vanderlan Warlington Souza dos; Andrioli, AliceThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of ovine brucellosis in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, and Sergipe. A seroepidemiological survey was carried out in 121 properties under 23 municipalities between 2011 and 2012. The 1,034 serological samples collected from the sheep were subjected to the agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test using kits produced by the Paraná Institute of Technology (TECPA...
Study of metalloproteinases in the blood of goats experimentally infected with ...
Galiza, Ylana Santos de; Eloy, Angela Maria Xavier; Pinheiro, Raymundo Rizaldo; Peixoto, Renato Mesquita; Lima, Ana Milena CésarCaprine arthritis encephalitis is a lentiviral disease that leads to considerable losses in goat farming. In the acute phase of viral infection, though antiviral antibodies are produced by the host’s immune system, they are not sufficient to be detected by serological tests. Acute infections begin with an incubation period, during which the viral genome replicates and host innate responses are initiated. Matrix...
Seroepidemiological study of maedi-visna in sheep in Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte...
Alves, Samilly Mesquita; Teixeira, Maria Fátima da Silva; Pinheiro, Raymundo Rizaldo; Alves, Francisco Selmo Fernandes; Lima, Ana Milena CésarThe production performance of a livestock herd can be compromised by various diseases. In sheep, maedi-visna (MV) infections, which have a chronic nature, are caused by a virus (maedi-visna virus (MVV)) belonging to the genus Lentivirus of the Retroviridae family. The infection can cause significant economic losses and has considerable health impacts on sheep breeding in production systems. Due to the importanc...
