Abstract Occurrence of infection or exposure to Ehrlichia canis, Hepatozoon canis and Rickettsia spp. was detected in feral cats living in two fragments from Atlantic rainforest, in Natal, RN, Brazil, and in dogs living around the parks. While serum samples were collected from 155 animals (53 cats livin...

First report of antibodies to Neospora spp. in horses from Portugal

Abstract Neospora spp. are intracellular protozoa with worldwide distribution and closely related to Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect a variety of mammals including horses. From September 2013 to June 2014, 185 horses from northern, central and southern parts of mainland Portugal were randomly sampled...

Detection of a putative novel genotype of Ehrlichia sp. from opossums (Didelphis aurita) from Brazil

Abstract Erlichiosis affects humans and animals worldwide. Its distribution and prevalence depends on the presence of tick vectors and hosts in one geographic area. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of Ehrlichia spp. and Anaplasma spp. in opossums (Didelphis sp.) from the St...

Effect of Sweeteners on Root Dentine Demineralization Using a Microcosm Biofilm Model

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of commercial sweeteners on root dentin demineralization using a microcosm biofilm model. Bovine dentin specimens with pre-determined surface hardness were randomized into six groups according to the studied sweeteners: sucralose, stevia, ...

Antibacterial activity of the skin secretion of Phyllomedusa azurea (Anura: Hylidae) from the Central Brazil Cerrado

Rev. biol. trop; 67 (1), 2019
Abstract Phyllomedusa azurea is a frog species well distributed geographically in South America, including Brazilian biomes as Pantanal and Cerrado. Compared with other anurans from the Phyllomedusinae family, there are few reports on the bioactive potential of skin-derived molecules from this species. I...

Cyanobacteria populations in rice soils: rotation effects

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (1), 2019
Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de rotaciones arroceras sobre la población de cianobacterias durante el ciclo de cultivo. El estudio se condujo en Entre Ríos (Argentina). Se evaluaron cuatro rotaciones: arroz-soja (AS); arroz-soja-maíz-soja (ASMS): arroz-arroz (AA) y arroz-pradera (A...

Evidencia molecular de la ocurrencia de bacterias celulolíticas del género Cohnella en especies neotropicales de Nasutitermitinae colectadas en el NEA
Molecular evidence that cellulolytic bacterial genus Cohnella is widespread among Neotropical Nasutitermitinae from NE Argentina

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (1), 2019
Cohnella is a highly cellulolytic bacterial genus, which can be found in a variety of habitats. The aim of this study was to assess its presence in the digestive tract of termite species collected in North-eastern Argentina: Nasutitermes aquilinus, N. corniger and Cortaritermes fulviceps. Gut homogenates...

Encapsulación de Weissella paramesenteroides y su aplicación en residuos de pescado
Weissella paramesenteroides encapsulation and its application in the use of fish wastes

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (1), 2019
The goal of the present study was to evaluate the encapsulation of Weissella paramesenteroides, isolated from bee bread, as a technological tool for its use in biological fish silage. The pH decrease in fish silages using the bacteria encapsulated and in a non-encapsulated form was compared. W. paramesen...
