Pythiosis is caused by an aquatic fungus-like organism (Pythium insidiosum). It is considered an important public health issue as it can affect both animals and humans. This paper reports a case of gastrointestinal pythiosis in a dog. The patient was hospitalized for four days, during which the animal received supportive and symptomatic treatment. But the applied treatment was unsuccessful and the dog’s clinica...
About 700,000 deaths per year worldwide are caused of Healthcare-related infections (HAI). Result in significant patient morbidity and mortality, being is ranked the fourth leading cause of death in Brazil. Usually, HAI are caused by multidrug-resistance microorganisms (MDR), as well as Serratia marcescens, that is associated with healthcare-related infections causing high patient mortality and morbidity. This ...
Capnocytophaga canimorsus e Capnocytophaga cynodegmi são bacilos Gram-negativos encontrados na microbiota oral de cães e gatos capazes de infectar humanos através de mordidas, lambidas ou contato próximo aos animais. As manifestações clínicas vão desde inflamação local da lesão a sepse, podendo ser seguida por óbito em humanos. O objetivo do trabalho foi detectar C. canimorsus e C. cynodegmi em amostras de cur...
Bacteria of the genus Providencia are opportunistic pathogens in humans, widely distributed in the environment and associated with greater resistance to antibiotics, and this being uncommon the association with clinical diseases. This study reports the isolation of P. stuartii in two sheep that presented clinical signs of pneumonia. At necropsy there was severe and acute fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia. Histol...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01; Ehrlichia and Anaplasma species are the most common tick-borne disease (TBD) pathogens in dogs worldwide. Ehrlichia canis, the aetiological agent of the Canine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (CME), is known to replicate within the cytoplasm of mononuclear cells into clusters of organisms called morulae. However...
The central region of Brazil is known to be an endemic area for canine ehrlichiosis. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence rates of E. canis infection in dogs and in Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks collected from the dogs and their home environments. Serum samples and genomic DNA from the blood of 20 dogs and 299 ticks were analyzed by IFA and PCR assays in order to detect Ehrlich...
Foram estudados 26 casos de meningoencefalite por herpesvírus bovino (BoHV) diagnosticados entre 2010-2016, no Estado de Goiás (GO). A doença acometeu principalmente bovinos jovens, entre 60 dias a 18 meses de idade. Não houve associação entre os casos e o sexo dos bovinos e a sazonalidade. A doença foi observada em todas as cinco Mesorregiões do Estado, com uma frequência maior nas Mesorregiões Sul e Centro. O...
