The elements related to the morphology of the liver of paca (Cuniculus paca), the second largest rodent of the Brazilian fauna, were observed; this species present zootechnical potential. Eight animals from the animals sector of Faculdade de Ciencias Agrarias e Veterinarias - Campus of Jaboticabal - UNESP, which is duly certified by IBAMA as an experimental breeding institute, were used. Through a dissection procedure, it was found that the liver of the paca is located in the cranial portion of the abdomen, immediately after the diaphragm, to which it is connected by the triangular, coronary, and falciform ligaments, having its bigger part located right to the medium plan. The liver of this rodent presents the following lobation: right lateral lobe, right medial lobe, quadrate lobe, left medial lobe, and left lateral lobe, besides the caudate lobe formed by the papillary process of caudate lobe and the caudate process of caudate lobe. Gallbladder is located between the quadrate and right medial lobes. Fragments of this organ were collected, fixed, and histologically prepared, being the samples analyzed through light microscopy. It was microscopically observed that intralobular connective tissue is scarce, basically it consists polyhedral hepatocytes organized into cords interposed between sinusoids and the portal triads are found in the lobe, consisting of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and biliary duct.

Atualmente o uso indiscriminado e não criterioso de antibióticos está causando um aumento alarmante de resistência bacteriana chegando a ser considerado um problema de saúde pública. Nesse contexto, a utilização do peptídeo antimicrobiano (PAM) Hylina-a1 proveniente de uma rã da fauna brasileira está sendo estudado. Sua atuação na membrana celular dificulta a ocorrência de resistência bacteriana. No entanto, o uso de PAMs ainda apresenta problemas principalmente relacionados à disponibilidade, eficácia e toxicidade. A fim de contornar esses problemas, este trabalho teve como objetivo principal avaliar a incorporação deste peptídeo a um sistema líquido cristalino nanoestruturado com capacidade de regular a liberação e proteger os peptídeos da degradação química e física mantendo a bioatividade. O sistema líquido cristalino foi preparado com fosfatidilcolina de soja (FS), oleato de sódio (OS) e Tween 20 (TW), colesterol (CHO) e tampão fosfato, sendo que alguns pontos apresentaram fases líquido-cristalinas do tipo lamelar. Para os estudos posteriores foi escolhido um ponto com características visuais de viscosidade apropriadas ao uso tópico e a este se incorporou o peptídeo. A obtenção do peptídeo por meio da SPFS foi viável, obtendo-se materiais com alto índice de pureza. No ensaio de reologia a formulação apresentou-se como fluido pseudoplástico não–Newtoniano, com a presença de tixotropia; sendo possível também confirmar a incorporação do peptídeo ao sistema. A espectroscopia UV e a CLAE comprovaram que a maior parte do peptídeo é incorporada à fase líquido-cristalina do sistema. Os ensaios biológicos mostraram que o sistema líquido-cristalino possui atividade contra bactérias muito menor que o peptídeo livre. Este fato foi atribuído à baixa liberação do peptídeo pelo sistema
Estimativa da diversidade genética de Queixadas (Tayassu pecari) da região do Taboco (Corguinho, MS)

The Brazilian fauna has been constantly threatened by deforestation and forest fragmentation. As a result, many populations become isolated and small which negatively impacts their genetic diversity, putting them at a higher risk of extinction than large and stable populations. The aim of this work was to estimate the genetic diversity of white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) in the region of Taboco (Corguinho, MS), a fragmented area; and to compare these estimates with that obtained previously for two populations from Brazilian Pantanal, which is considered a relatively well-preserved biome and where the species is not threatened. A total of 18 blood and 72 hair samples of white-lipped peccaries had their DNA extracted and amplified for five polymorphic microsatellite loci. With the individuals identified, genetic diversity indicators (such as number of alleles, allelic richness, expected end and observed) and the inbreeding coefficient FIS were calculated. In addition, to verify if the population suffered a recent population bottleneck, we used the tests implemented in the program Bottleneck. The population of Taboco showed no evidence of recent population bottleneck (p > 0.05) or inbreeding (FIS = 0.008; p > 0.022). In addition, the levels of genetic diversity in this population (mean number of alleles = 2.60; mean allelic richness = 2.56 mean observed and expected heterozygosities = 0.45 and 0.47, respectively) were statistically similar to those found previously for the two populations from Pantanal (p > 0,05); although the region of Taboco is more impacted than the Pantanal. Even though we showed no evidence of loss of genetic diversity, it does not mean that the population is not suffering with fragmentation; but that there was not sufficient time to evidence the genetic changes. In addition, may be occurring gene flow with populations of nearby fragments, which is maintaining... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Diversity of Ephemeroptera (Insecta) of the Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar, southeastern Brazil. The aim of this study was to inventory the mayfly fauna, based on nymphal and alate stages, in Serra da Mantiqueira and in Serra do Mar, Sao Paulo State, as well as to present information about habitats used by the genera. Nymphs were collected in several streams and mesohabitats with a Surber sampler and the winged stages with light attraction methods, entomological nets, and Malaise traps. In all, eight families and 33 genera were recorded, representing a very significant portion of the Brazilian fauna (80% of families and 49% of genera). Furthermore, it was possible to identify 11 species, of which two are new records for the state: Tricorythodes santarita Traver and Caenis reissi Malzacher. Despite the high diversity recorded, the accumulation curves presented an ascending form, indicating an increase in the number of genera with additional sampling effort. The high richness found in these areas are in agreement with the high biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest biome and the sampling effort employed, which included the use of different methods, the collection of both nymphs and winged stages, and the sampling of a large area with diverse streams and habitats.
