Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonosis with worldwide distribution. Its control has a direct impact on public health and livestock production. This study estimated the prevalence of infected herds and adult bovines and evaluated risk factors associated with the presence of tuberculosis within herds in the state of Paraná. The state was divided in seven livestock regions and independent sampling was performed. A tota...
The purpose of this work was to research the Salmonella spp. and indicators microorganisms (total coliforms-CT, thermotolerant coliforms-CTT, mesophlic aerobes-AM and psychotrophic microorganisms) in poultry carcasses and chilling tanks water in a poultry slaughterhouse in north of Paraná state. Had been analyzed 120 poultry carcasses (60 before the entrance in the chilling tank and 60 after the exit of the chi...
One hundred fourteen primiparous cows wre analized. They wre from nine milk properties of the west region of São Paulo sate. On the seventh day of lactation. 42 (36.84%) showed infections in 69 (41.07%) quarters. The main aetiologic agents of the intramammary infections on the seventh day were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CMS) with 53,62%, followed by Corynebacterium spp with 26r08% and coagulase-positive ...

The laboratory animal house of Biologic Science Center of Londrina State University maintains and breeds several species of animals and stray dogs trapped in citíes of Paraná State. In this paper w e r e utilized for leptospirosis research, 325 wistar r...
We describe the first occurrence of Swine Hemorrhagic Syndrome (SHS) in Paraná State, Brazil. Forty seven pigs, raised in an intensive production system farm were affected by SHS dying within 24 to 72 hours of starting the clinical signs. All animals presented progressive joint swollen with hemorrhagic skin and oro-nasal bleeding. Hemorrhagic lesions, located on subcutaneous and muscular tissues, were observed ...
This work describes the etiology of a postweaning diarrhoea focus in a intensive piggery. The results of identification procedures showed the simultaneous occurrence of Escherichia coli, rotavirus, picobirnavirus and Cryptosporidium parvum. In VERO cells culture, was detected the LT (termolabile toxin) production by three E. coli samples and VT (verotoxin) production by five samples.; No presente trabalho é des...
A total of 493 hollander cows were examinated through California Mastitis Test (CMT) in the northern Paraná, for the purpose of studying the occurence of Corynebacterium bovis on subclinical bovine mastitis. Among the 225 milk samples that were positive in the CMT, the C. bovis was isolated in 58 (25,77%). The average microscopic count of somatic cells in milk samples with C. bovis was 1.032.420 cells/ml and th...
A total of 493 hollanders cows were examinated through California Mastitis Test (CMT) in the North region of Paraná, with target of studing the occurence of coagulase negative staphylococci on subclinical bovine mastitis. From these ones, 150 (30,4%) were positives in one or more quarters, making up a total of 225 milk samples. In 98 (43.5%) cultures, were isolated staphylococci, being 40 (40,8%) coagulase nega...
Foram estudadas 71 cepas de estafilococos coagulase-positivas isoladas de cães com lesões características de piodermatite. Através das diferentes provas bioquímicas utilizadas, 52(73,24%) amostras foram identificadas como S. intermedius e 19 (26,26%) como S. aureus. Todas as cepas foram testadas frente a 10 substâncias antimicrobianas, demonstrando uma acentuada resistência para a penicilina G, ampicilina, tetr...
No presente trabalho foram estudadas 25 culturas de E.coli isoladas de leitões com diarréia, quanto a produção dos seguintes fatores de virulência: enterotoxina terlábil (LT), enterotoxina termoestável (STa) e os fatores de colonização K88 e K99. Foi testada a produção de hemolisina, colicina V e resistência a drogas antimicrobianas, além do estudo de transferência por conjugação dos plasmidios Col V, STa, Hly ...
