25. TOXOPLASMOSIS IN MEXICO: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION IN HUMANS AND ANIMALS
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease widely distributed throughout the world, infecting a wide variety of animal species including humans. In Mexico, this parasite has been detected in different parts of the country, particularly in the tropical areas where the parasite can remain infective for long periods of time due to the environmental conditions (i.e. h

26. Ecology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sinai: linking parasites, vectors and hosts
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected clinical form of public health importance that is quite prevalent in the northern and eastern parts of Egypt. A comprehensive study over seven years (January 2005-December 2011) was conducted to track CL transmission with respect to both sandfly vectors and animal reservoirs. The study identified six sandfly specie

27. Clinical research in pediatric organ transplantation
Solid organ transplantation has greatly improved survival in children with end-stage disease, becoming one of the main treatment options in this population. Nonetheless, there are significant challenges associated with validating and optimizing the effects of these interventions in clinical trials. Therefore, we reviewed the main issues related to conducting

28. Caracterização da comunidade de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em paisagem agrícola fragmentada / Characterization of the mid and large bodied mammal community in a fragmented agricultural landscape
Agricultural expansion is a major cause of habitat fragmentation, leading to a reduction and isolation of natural areas. It is therefore important to understand the role of agricultural landscape structure and dynamics in maintaining local biodiversity. We aimed to describe how the structure and dynamics of an agricultural landscape influenced the community

29. Efeitos do inseticida endossulfam sobre a morfologia e a morfometria testicular em morcegos frugívoros Artibeus lituratus (OLFERS, 1818) / Effects of the endosulfan on the testicular morphology and morphometry in fruit bats Artibeus lituratus (OLFERS, 1818)
Large amounts of agricultural chemicals are discharged into the environment in Brazil. These pesticides are often used to destroy or impair the activity of organisms that attack crops. There are some reports in the literature concerning the decline of many wildlife populations as a result of contamination of their habitats by pesticides. One of the putative

30. Biogeographical aspects of the occurrence of Nyssomyia neivai and Nyssomyia intermedia (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a sympatric area of the Brazilian savannah
Nyssomyia intermedia and Nyssomyia neivai constitute a species complex associated with Leishmania transmission. The aim of this study was to analyse the ecological profiles of the Ny. intermedia and Ny. neivai populations in a sympatric area in the Brazilian savannah along the banks of the Velhas River. Captures were performed from July 2003-June 2005 in two

31. Aerobic fungi in the rumen fluid from dairy cattle fed different sources of forage
The objective of this study was to evaluate the aerobic microbiota of the rumen fluid from Holstein cows and heifers fed different tropical forage in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 30 samples of rumen fluid from cows fed with sorghum silage were collected: 32 from cows fed Brachiaria brizantha, 12 from heifers that received sorghum silage and

32. Persistency of lactation using random regression models and different fixed regression modeling approaches
Milk yield test-day records on the first three lactations of 25,500 Holstein cows were used to estimate genetic parameters and predict breeding values for nine measures of persistency and 305-d milk yield in a random regression animal model using two criteria to define the fixed regression. Legendre polynomials of fourth and fifth orders were used to model t

33. Evolução e ecologia de tricomas em Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): estruturas morfológicas de defesa anti-herbivoria? / Evolution and ecology of trichomes in Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): morphological structures of anti-herbivory defense?
This thesis focused on the evolutionary-ecology of trichomes in the tribe Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae), and in the potential defensive role of these structures against herbivores. More specifically, we characterized four trichome morphotypes found in vegetative plant parts of representatives of the Bignonieae, as well as studied the macro-evolutionary patterns

34. Tratamento com topiramato melhora a sensibilidade hipotalâmica à insulina em camundongos obesos / Topiramate improves insulin sigmalling the hypothalamus of mice on high-fat diet
Topiramate (TPM) is an anticonvulsant drug used for the treatment of epilepsy and prophylaxis of migraine. Weight loss is a frequently side effect reported in patients and animal models treated with TPM. In animal models topiramate may increase levels of hypothalamic corticotropic-releasing hormone (CRH), which is an anorexigenic neuropeptide and may decreas

35. Variação geográfica de Hylaeamys yunganus (Thomas, 1902) na América do Sul (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) / Geographic variation and phylogeography of Hylaeamys yunganus (Thomas, 1902) (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae)
Hylaeamys yunganus is a rodent of the Oryzomyini tribe presenting samples distributed through the Amazon rainforests and occupies a wide altitudinal gradient, which extends from sea level up to ca. 2,000m. Information available in the literature suggests that populations of H. yunganus from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and western Brazil have large bod

36. A estrutura populacional da quiropterofauna em sub-bosque florestal: o uso da amostragem sistemática / Bats population structure in understory forest: use of systematic sampling
Os métodos de amostragem por conveniência procuram maximizar o volume das amostras e podem, neste sentido, ser bastante eficazes, porém, o esperado é que venham a comprometer a acurácia e a precisão na representação de espécies em sub-bosque floretal. Isto se deve ao fato dos pesquisadores, usualmente, alocarem as redes-neblina em locais conhecidos
