American visceral leishmaniasis is a zoonosis caused by Leishmania infantum and transmitted by the bite of the sand flies Lutzomia longipalpis.The main domestic reservoir is the dog, while foxes and opposums are the known wild reservoirs. However, identification of natural infections with L. infantum in rodents appears for need of investigating the participation of these rodents how source of infection of the parasite. In the present work the Leishmania infantum infection was investigated in rodents captured in Rio Grande do Norte, aiming at to offer subsidies to the understanding of the epidemic chains of LVA in the State. Thirteen Galea spixii were distributed in four groups, being G1 the group control with four animals and the others, G2, G3 and G4, with three animals each. Those animals were intraperitoneally inoculated with 107 promastigotas of L. infantum and accompanied for, respectively, 30, 90 and 180 days. Weekly the animals were monitored as for the corporal weight and rectal temperature. At the end of each stipulated period the animals were killed. Blood were used for determination of the parameters biochemical and haematological, PCR, ELISA, microscopic examination and cultivation in NNN medium. Liver, spleen and lymph node were used in Giemsa-stained impression and cultivation in NNN medium. Liver and spleen fragments were still used in PCR and histopathological, respectively. At the same time 79 rodents of the species Rattus rattus, Bolomys lasiurus, Oligoryzomys nigripis, Oryzomys subflavus and Trichomys apereoides were captured in the Municipal districts of Brejinho, Campo Grande, Coronel Ezequiel, Passa e Fica and Vázea for identification of natural infection with L. infantum. Evidence of infection was checked by direct examination of Giemsa-stained impression of liver, spleen and blood and culture of these tissues in NNN medium. Antibodies were researched by ELISA. They were not found differences among the weigh corporal final, rectal temperature and biochemical and haematological parameters of the Galea spixii controls and infected. The rectal temperature of the animals varied from 36OC to 40OC. For the first time values of the haematocrit (33,6% to 42,8%), hemoglobin (10,2 to 14,5g/dl), erythrocyts number (4,67x106 to 6,90x106/mm3), total leukocytes (0,9x103 to 9,2x103/mm3), platelets (49x103 to 509x103/mm3) total proteins (1,56 to 6,06 g/dl), albumin (1,34 to 3,05 g/dl) and globulins (0,20 to 3,01 g/dl) of the Galea spixii were determined. The lymphocytes were the most abundant leucocytes. Infection for L. infantum was diagnosed in two animals euthanasied 180 days after the infection. In one of the animals was also identified antibodies anti-Leishmania. The parasite was not found in none of the five other species of rodents captured. Galea spixii are resistant to the infection for L. infantum and they are not good models for the study for visceral leishmaniose, although they can act as infection sources. More studies are necessary to determine the paper of the rodents in the epidemic chain of transmission of the visceral leishmaniose in the State of Rio Grande do Norte

A ocorrência de Myxomycetes sobre plantas vivas de Hedychium coronarium Koenig foi registrada nos Municípios de Botucatu (22o52 S e 48o26 W) e Itatinga (23o08 S e 48o38 W), São Paulo, região Sudeste do Brasil. Foram encontrados esporóforos sobre brácteas florais, restos de flores e sobre folhas adjacentes às inflorescências em plantas vivas, evidenciando ser este um ambiente favorável ao desenvolvimento de Myxomycetes. Cinco espécies foram encontradas: Didymium bahiense Gottsb., D. nigripes (Link) Fr. (Didymiaceae), Physarum compressum Alb. & Schwein., P. pusillum (Berk. & M. A. Curtis) G. Lister (Physaraceae) e Arcyria cinerea (Bull.) Pers. (Arcyriaceae). Todas podem ser consideradas espécies florícolas, embora haja registros mais freqüentes de sua ocorrência sobre componentes da serapilheira. Este é o primeiro relato da ocorrência de Myxomycetes neste tipo de microhabitat para o Brasil.

A Síndrome Pulmonar por Hantavírus (SPH) vem sendo diagnosticada na Amazônia brasileira desde 1995. Até dezembro de 2010 já foram diagnosticados 289 casos na Amazônia brasileira, registrados nos estados do Mato Grosso, Pará, Maranhão, Amazonas e Rondônia. O objetivo geral do presente estudo foi caracterizar geneticamente cepas de hantavirus circulantes nesses estados. Foram utilizadas amostras de vísceras de roedores silvestres positivos para anticorpos IgG contra hantavírus, capturados em estudos ecoepidemiológicos, realizados nos municípios de Itacoatiara/AM, Alto Paraíso/RO e Campo Novo do Parecis/MT, e soro/sangue de casos humanos de SPH provenientes dos municípios da área de influência da BR-163, nos estados do Pará e Mato Grosso, Tomé-Açu/PA, Tangará da Serra/MT, além de pool de vísceras de um óbito procedente de Anajatuba/MA. As amostras foram submetidas à extração de RNA viral, seguida das reações de RT-Hemi-Nested-PCR para amostras de roedores, RT-Nested-PCR para amostras de humanos e sequenciamento nucleotídico, utilizando o método de Sanger e o pirossequenciamento, sendo, posteriormente, verificados quanto a aspectos como, identidade (BLAST search), similaridade (SimPlot) e homologia nucleotídica e aminoacídica com outros hantavírus (Clustal W). Foram obtidas as sequências parciais dos hantavírus em cinco roedores da espécie Oligoryzomys microtis (n=2 de Itacoatiara/AM; n=3 de Alto Paraíso/RO) e em oito amostras de humanos (n=1 de Tomé-Açu/PA; n=1 de Altamira/Cachoeira da Serra; n=1 de Novo Progresso/PA; n=1 de Guarantã do Norte/MT; n=1 de Anajatuba/MA e n=3 de Altamira/Castelo dos Sonhos). Com a utilização da estratégia do pirossequenciamento foram obtidas as sequências completas do gene N, S-RNA dos hantavírus em três roedores (n=2 de Alto Paraíso/RO e n=1 de Campo Novo do Parecis/MT) e dois casos humanos (n=1 de Tangará da Serra/MT e n=1 de Novo Progresso/PA). As análises das sequências completas demonstraram a presença de ORFs para uma possível proteína NSs, já descrita para outros hantavírus. As análises filogenéticas entre as sequências obtidas neste estudo e de outros hantavírus disponíveis no GenBank sugerem que, o vírus Castelo dos Sonhos é o responsável pelos casos de SPH em municípios da área de influência da BR-163, obtendo-se, pela primeira vez, a sequência completa desse vírus em roedor Oligoryzomys utiaritensis, capturado no Mato Grosso; confirmou-se a circulação contínua do vírus Laguna Negra-like, associado aos casos de SPH no estado do Mato Grosso; o vírus Mamoré-like foi detectado pela primeira vez em roedores O.microtis, nos estado do Amazonas e Rondônia, porém não associado a casos humanos; o vírus Anajatuba foi o responsável por um caso de óbito proveniente do Maranhão. Esse trabalho servirá como suporte para estudos moleculares e epidemiológicos futuros, pois, fornece dados inéditos acerca da transmissão das hantaviroses na Amazônia brasileira.

Esta revisión sistemática de la literatura tuvo como objetivo investigar sobre la depresión en personas con epilepsia en la última década (2005-2015), enfocándose en identificar en el paciente con epilepsia: características sociodemográficas, prevalencia de la depresión, tipos de intervención para el manejo de la depresión, factores asociados con la aparición y el mantenimiento de la depresión y por último, identificar las tendencias en investigación en el estudio de la depresión en pacientes con epilepsia. Se revisaron 103 artículos publicados entre 2005 y 2015 en bases de datos especializadas. Los resultados revelaron que la prevalencia de depresión en pacientes con epilepsia es diversa y oscila en un rango amplio entre 3 y 70 %, por otro lado, que las principales características sociodemográficas asociadas a la depresión está el ser mujer, tener un estado civil soltero y tener una edad comprendida entre los 25 y los 45 años. A esto se añade, que los tratamientos conformados por terapia psicológica y fármacos, son la mejor opción para garantizar la eficacia en los resultados del manejo de la depresión en los pacientes con epilepsia. Con respecto a los factores asociados a la aparición de la depresión en pacientes con epilepsia, se identificaron causas tanto neurobiológicas como psicosociales, asimismo los factores principales asociados al mantenimiento fueron una percepción de baja calidad de vida y una baja auto-eficacia. Y finalmente los tipos de investigación más comunes son de tipo aplicado, de carácter descriptivo, transversales y de medición cuantitativa.
