Situação epidemiológica da brucelose bovina no Estado do Paraná

Realizou-se um estudo para caracterizar a situação epidemiológica da brucelose bovina no Estado do Paraná. O Estado foi estratificado em sete circuitos produtores ou regiões. Em cada circuito foram amostradas aleatoriamente cerca de 300 propriedades e, dentro dessas, foi escolhido de forma aleatória um número pré-estabelecido de animais, dos quais foi obtida uma amostra de sangue. No total, foram amostrados 14....

Estudos de prevalência da brucelose bovina no âmbito do Programa Nacional de Co...

As estratégias de combate à brucelose bovina são bastante conhecidas e, até o momento, os resultados são divergentes. No Brasil, o Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) implementou, em 2001, o Programa Nacional de Controle e Erradicação da Brucelose e Tuberculose. Conhecer a situação epidemiológica da brucelose no início de um programa de controle permite: 1 - escolher as melhores estratégi...

Effectiveness of homologous inactivated Streptococcus agalactiae vaccine by imm...

Tilapia is the most important group between cultivated fish. Intensive handling systems are characterized by high rate of stocking of fish making them susceptible to infectious diseases. The streptococcosis is one of the diseases that cause great economic losses. The objective of the study was to test a vaccine administered by immersion bath (b.i.) against Streptococcus agalactiae and challenge with homologous ...

474 milking herds from the north region of Paraná State were analyzed in this study. The herds were characterized for average productivity, genetic group, exploration and milking systems. Two milk samples (bulk or brass) were collected monthly from each farm, totalizing 21.957 samples. They were processed to determine fat, protein and somatic cells count (SCC) at Centralized Analyses Laboratory from Milking Her...

Isolation of Prototheca spp. from cows with mastitis, bulk tanks milk and in th...

The dairy cattle mammary gland infections cause serious economic losses to dairy farmers due to the decrease in milk production, therapeutic procedures and culling of chronic infected animals. High incidence of mastitis in herds also alters both the composition and the quality of the milk. Mastitis pathogens can also cause infections and poisoning in humans. In the last years, emphasis has been given to intrama...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the chilling tanks effectiveness on the reduction of microbial contamination of poultry carcasses from an abattoir, from March to September 2005. Poultry samples were taken in three times, in the beginning, middle and in the end of morning turn, in a total of 60 samples, 20 in each sampling time before the entrance in the chilling tank and other 60 samples, 20 in each sa...

Risk factors associated to leptospirosis in dogs in Londrina City - PR

Leptosporosis is a re-emergent zoonosis associated to close contact between man and dogs. It is important to determine whether the canine leptospirosis risk factors are similar to those of man or are variables exclusive to the species habitat and management. The objective of this study was to identify the individual and environmental variables most frequently associated with seropositive dogs attended in the Ve...
