Descreve-se um caso de infertilidade de um jumento SRD confirmada por meio de microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET). O espermiograma, avaliado sob microscopia ótica, revelou baixa motilidade e alta concentração de anormalidades espermáticas do tipo gota citoplasmática proximal. O material foi avaliado por MET, observando-se um acúmulo desordenado de microtúbulos causando protusões irregulares na região do colo espermático. O último teste realizado correspondeu ao de fertilidade in vivo, utilizando-se quatro éguas portadoras de bom histórico reprodutivo, nas quais não foi possível confirmar nenhuma prenhez. Frente aos resultados obtidos, associados aos achados da MET, estabeleceu-se o diagnóstico de infertilidade associada a defeito microtubular dos espermatozóides.

Com o intuito de se estudar a presença de suínos portadores renais de leptospiras foram colhidas 131 amostras sanguíneas e os respectivos rins de animais durante o abate em abatedouro da região de Botucatu-SP. Pela prova de Soroaglutinação Microscópica obteve-se 48 amostras sorológicas positivas para um ou mais sorovar de Leptospira spp., com uma taxa de ocorrência de anticorpos anti-leptospira de 36,64%, e maior importância para o sorovar icterohaemorrhagiae. Para a pesquisa do agente nos rins, das 88 amostras renais submetidas a cultura em meio de EMJH e analisadas pela prova de PCR, foi isolado e detectado o agente em uma única amostra renal, pertencente a um animal soropositivo. Embora não tenha sido possível a comparação estatística, em termos de sensibilidade e especificidade das duas provas de detecção do agente a partir de amostras renais, a PCR mostrou-se mais rápida e prática na pesquisa de portadores renais. Pelo isolamento obtido, ressalta-se a importância desses animais como possíveis transmissores da doença para trabalhadores de abatedouro e inspetores de carne.

A região do litoral norte do Estado de São Paulo registrou 14, 30 e 104 casos de leishmaniose tegumentar americana nos anos de 1993, 1994 e 1995 respectivamente. Com objetivo de caracterizar a fauna e a distribuição sazonal e horária das espécies de flebotomíneos foram realizadas coletas quinzenais de formas adultas durante o período de dezembro de 1995 a novembro de 1996, utilizando-se armadilhas luminosas do tipo CDC, no interior da residência, no peridomicílio e na mata durante 12 horas a partir do crepúsculo vespertino. No peridomicílio foi utilizada, durante 6 horas também a partir do crepúsculo vespertino, armadilha de Shannon instalada a 100 metros da casa. A cada 3 meses esta armadilha foi utilizada durante 12 horas. Foram observadas flutuações das densidades populacionais, bem como as ocorrências intra e extradomiciliar das espécies predominantes. Lutzomyia intermedia foi a espécie mais abundante nas diferentes armadilhas utilizadas e nos ambientes investigados.

Dois ensaios foram conduzidos durante a safra das águas de 1987, no estado do Paraná, visando o controle químico do crestamento bacteriano comum do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), na cultivar Rio Negro. Os produtos sulfato de estreptomicina + oxitetraciclina, oxicloreto de cobre + zineb, oxicloreto de cobre + mancozeb e oxicloreto de cobre, foram aplicados em pulverização, por três vezes, durante a safra. Foi observada baixa eficiência no controle dessa bacteriose, diante da elevada severidade do crestamento bacteriano nas folhas, alta incidência em vagens e elevada população de X. camnpestris pv. phaseoli nas sementes. Houve incremento na produtividade devido à aplicação de oxicloreto de cobre + zineb e oxicloreto de cobre + mancozeb.

The neuromodulatory effect of nitric oxide (NO) on glutamatergic transmission within the NTS related to cardiovascular regulation has been widely investigated. Activation of glutamatergic receptors in the NTS stimulates the production and release of NO and other nitrosyl substances with neurotransmitter/neuromodulator properties. The presence of NOS, including the protein nNOS and its mRNA in vagal afferent terminals in the NTS and nodose ganglion cells suggest that NO can act on glutamatergic transmission. We previously reported that iontophoresis of L-NAME on NTS neurons receiving vagal afferent inputs significantly decreased the number of action potentials evoked by iontophoretic application of AMPA. In addition, iontophoresis of the NO donor papaNONOate enhanced spontaneous discharge and the number of action potentials elicited by AMPA, suggesting that NO could be facilitating AMPA-mediated neuronal transmission within the NTS. Furthermore, the changes in renal sympathetic discharge during activation of baroreceptors and cardiopulmonary receptors involve activation of AMPA and NMDA receptors in the NTS and these responses are attenuated by microinjection of L-NAME in the NTS of conscious and anesthetized rats. Cardiovascular responses elicited by application of NO in the NTS are closely similar to those obtained after activation of vagal afferent inputs, and L-glutamate is the main neurotransmitter of vagal afferent fibers. In this review we discuss the possible neuromodulatory mechanisms of central produced/released NO on glutamatergic transmission within the NTS.

Leptospirosis was seroepidemiologically investigated in 775 dogs from Botucatu, state of Sao Paulo, in blood samples collected during the annual anti-rabies vaccination campaign. The samples were collected from 14 out of the 45 vaccination stations geographically distributed in five different municipal districts, with a territorial urban area of 31Km2. Samples were taken from 449 males and 326 females; 564 were of undetermined breed, and 211 were pedigree animals; ages ranged from 3 months to 20 years. Diagnosis included the microscopic serum agglutination tests using 12 Leptospira spp serovars. Serological results and epidemiological variables were compared using Goodman and chi-square tests, with χ=0.05. There were 119 (15.3%) positive samples for 11 serovars; the most important was canicola with 48 (40.3%), followed by pyrogenes 41 (34.5%). Statistical analysis showed significant difference for: breed, 17.7% positive in undetermined breeds and 9.0% in pedigrees; and sex, 18.4% positive in males and 11.0% in females. There was no statistically significant difference in relation to age with uniform distribution of positives.

Purpose: To evaluate and correlate in the rabbit the possible changes caused by mitomycin C under the scleral flap in the ciliary epithelium with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Methods: The eyes of 32 albino rabbits were studied and divided in 4 experimental groups. The right eye (RE) was intended for the experimental groups and the left eye (LE) for the controls. Group I (G1) was formed by 8 eyes that received 0,5 mg/ml of mitomycin C under the scleral flap and were examined after 15 days. Group II (G2) differed from G1 only in the time of the exam, after 30 days. Group III (G3) was formed by 8 eyes that received 0,2 mg/ml of mitomycin C under the scleral flap and were examined after 15 days. Group IV (G4) differed from group 3 just in the time of the exam, after 30 days. In each eye the internal ciliary epithelium were examined with TEM. Results: The following changes in the internal ciliary epithelium were observed in groups G2, G3, and G4 with TEM: discontinuous and irregular basement membrane, more irregular and electron-dense nucleous, enlargement among interdigitation, edematous mitochondria and myelin figures. These alterations were not found in all the animals of the groups. Group G 1 did not present alterations. Roughness in groups G 1, G2, G3 and G4 were observed with SEM. In groups G 1 and G2 continuity solutions were also observed. Conclusion: Mitomycin C in 0,2 mg/ml and 0,5 mg/ml concentrations caused changes in the internal ciliary epithelium 15 and 30 days after, with TEM and SEM. There was no correlation between dosage, time and with TEM and SEM.

Objective Determining conditions regarding possible zoonosis transmission risk based on Ilha Solteira-São Paulo citizens' habits aimed at establishing concrete recommendations for the corresponding local authorities to reduce some risk factors. Methods100 focalized interviews were held on Ilha Solteira's urban perimeter during April 2008. The people interviewed were adults who lived or worked in houses in the study area. Results This research found a significant number of cat and/or dog owners who allowed their pets to stay in internal areas of their houses. They did not define a specific place for animals to defecate and/or urinate or did not arrange appropriate final disposal of such waste. Conclusion Local authorities must make greater efforts at educating Ilha Solteira pets' owners and providing them with information and encouraging greater citizen commitment and awareness to improve habits related to caring for pets/animal sand reducing zoonosis transmission risk factors.
