ABSTRACT In order to evaluate the effect of total parenteral nutrition associated with glutamine and enteral fluid therapy, associated or not with glutamine, on the lipidogram of horses subjected to starvation (phase 1) and refeeding (phase 2), 16 adult healthy horses were used, mixed breed, aged between four and fourteen years and average weight of 248.40 ± 2.28kg, divided into four experimental groups, with four animals per group: Group ENTGL: enteral fluid therapy with electrolytes associated with glutamine; Group PARGL: total parenteral nutrition associated with glutamine; Group ENTFL: enteral fluid therapy with electrolytes; and Group PARFL: parenteral fluid therapy. This study was divided into two phases: phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 1 consisted of performing exploratory laparotomy and beginning of starvation, in addition to the administration of treatments, according to the group, while phase 2 consisted of re-feeding the animals. Total cholesterol values remained within the normal range for the species throughout the experimental period, but there was a slight increase during phase 1, followed by a decrease in values in phase 2. Hypertriglyceridemia in the ENFL, ENTGL and PARFL groups during phase 1 occurred because of the negative energy balance. The provision of enteral fluid therapy with electrolytes and an energy source, with or without glutamine, or parenteral fluid therapy were not effective in reversing the effects of negative energy balance. Thus, therapeutic protocols that combine enteral or parenteral fluid therapy for prolonged periods and food deprivation need additional nutritional support to avoid the deleterious effects of negative energy balance.

RESUMO Com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da nutrição parenteral total associada à glutamina e da fluidoterapia enteral, associada ou não à glutamina, sobre o lipidograma de equinos submetidos à inanição (fase 1) e realimentação (fase 2), foram utilizados 16 equinos adultos hígidos, sem raça definida, com idade variando entre quatro e 14 anos e peso médio de 248,40 ± 2,28kg, divididos em quatro grupos experimentais, quatro animais por grupo: grupo ENTGL: fluidoterapia enteral com eletrólitos associada à glutamina; grupo II PARGL: nutrição parenteral total associada à glutamina; grupo ENTFL: fluidoterapia enteral com eletrólitos; e grupo PARFL: fluidoterapia parenteral. Este estudo foi dividido em duas fases: fase 1 e fase 2. A fase 1 consistiu na realização da laparotomia exploratória e no início da inanição, além da administração dos tratamentos, de acordo com o grupo; a fase 2 consistiu na realimentação dos animais. Os valores de colesterol total se mantiveram dentro da faixa de normalidade para a espécie durante todo o período experimental, porém houve discreta elevação ao longo da fase 1, seguida de diminuição dos valores na fase 2. Hipertrigliceridemia nos grupos ENTFL, ENTGL e PARFL durante a fase 1 ocorreu em decorrência do equilíbrio energético negativo. O fornecimento de fluidoterapia enteral com eletrólitos e uma fonte de energia, associada ou não à glutamina, ou o de fluidoterapia parenteral não foram efetivos em reverter os efeitos do equilíbrio energético negativo. Dessa forma, protocolos terapêuticos que associem fluidoterapia enteral ou parenteral por períodos prolongados e privação alimentar necessitam de suporte nutricional adicional para evitar os efeitos deletérios do equilíbrio energético negativo

Abstract The oxidative pathway and the alteration of the antioxidant defense have drawn attention to the pathophysiology of cervical cancer (CC). In our preliminary study, it was possible to corroborate the findings regarding the antioxidants of patients affected by CC. The total antioxidant activity and lipid peroxidation (LP) were evaluated in 14 people diagnosed with CC and 14 volunteers without CC (control group). Results showed low antioxidant activity in CC group. LP was not significant when analyzing CC group and control group. Our results indicate that changes in antioxidant defense may contribute to the pathophysiology of CC.

ABSTRACT This is the first attempt to assess life parameters of little tunny Euthynnus alletteratus in the southwestern Atlantic. Fin spines, liver, and gonad information from 345 fishes (330-780 mm fork length) sampled from artisanal landings between March 2018, and February 2019 were used to analyze age, growth, and sexual maturity. Age was estimated by counting and measuring increments in sectioned spines, and the von Bertalanffy growth function was used to fit length-at-age data. There was no significant difference between male and female size distributions. Gonadosomatic index peaked from November to February in both sexes, associated with the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) upwelling in temperatures between 15-18°C. Reproduction in cold waters has never been reported before and is possibly related to a richer environment for feeding and growth of larvae. The coefficient of variation among successive readings was 9.2%. The oldest fish was 5 years, and one annual increment for 2 and 3-year-old fish was observed to form associated with SACW. Little tunny growing in southeastern Brazil shows a higher growth rate and smaller asymptotic length when compared to most stocks in Mediterranean waters. Growth was not significantly affected by sex, and the von Bertalanffy growth parameters for all fish were L∞ = 791.9 mm, k = 0.42, and t0 = −0.97 yr-1. Length at first maturity is attained by 1-year-old fish of either sex (423-492 mm), suggesting that a small proportion (8%) of juveniles was recorded from fishery landings.

Phytochemical studies of the species Pavonia glazioviana were performed. Quercetin, kaempferol, acacetin, and trimethoxylated flavonoid compounds (which present biological activity) were isolated. We aimed to evaluate the in silico, in vitro, and ex vivo toxicity of flavonoid 5,7-dihydroxy-3,8,4'-trimethoxy (Pg-1) obtained from P. glazioviana through chemical structure analyses, toxicity assessment, and predictive bioactive properties, using human samples in in vitro tests. In silico analysis suggested that Pg-1 presents a good absorption index for penetrating biological membranes (for oral bioavailability), while also suggesting potential antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, anti-hemorrhagic, and apoptosis agonist bioactivities. Assessment of hemolytic and genotoxic effects revealed low hemolysis rates in red blood cells with no cellular toxicity in oral mucosa cells. The reduced cytotoxic activity suggested the safety of the concentrations used (500-1000 µg/mL), and demonstrated the varied interactions of Pg-1 with the analyzed cells. The data obtained in the present study suggested potential therapeutic application, and the non-toxic profile indicated viability for future studies.

Abstract Candida spp. is considered an important cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. Currently, the emergence and spread of resistant Candida isolates are being increasingly reported, making the development of new agents urgently needed. In this study, we showed the in vitro anti-Candida activity of seven synthetic 3-alkylpyridine alkaloid analogs. Among them, alkaloid 1 presented a potent antifungal effect, which was independent of its capacity of binding with the fungal membrane ergosterol or cell wall. Analog 1 showed fungistatic and fungicidal effects against C. albicans (MIC 7.8 μg/mL and MFC 62.5 μg/mL), C. glabrata, C. krusei (MIC and MFC 31.2 μg/mL), and C. tropicalis (MIC 31.2 μg/mL and MFC 125 μg/mL). The time kill-curve study showed that compound 1 has a potent fungicidal effect in vitro, eliminating C. albicans cells. Furthermore, an in vitro synergistic effect with ketoconazole was observed for compound 1. This compound also eliminated the yeast-to-hypha transition. However, it showed high cytotoxicity against mammalian cells. Taken together, these findings support the use of compound 1 as a prototype to develop new anti-Candida agents, but molecular modifications should be done to minimize the high cytotoxicity obtained.

Resumo Introdução: O vírus SARS-CoV-2 causa a COVID-19 e é responsável pela maior pandemia desde o surto de influenza H1N1 de 1918. Os sintomas clássicos da doença já foram bem definidos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde; entretanto, distúrbios olfativo-gustativos têm sido relatados em alguns estudos, mas ainda com várias lacunas no entendimento e no consenso sobre a condução clínica desses casos. Objetivo: Identificar evidências na literatura científica sobre os distúrbios olfativo-gustativos acerca da apresentação clínica, prevalência e possíveis tratamentos específicos associados à COVID-19. Método: Revisão sistemática de artigos publicados até 25 de abril de 2020 nas bases de dados: Medline, Cochrane Clinical Trials, ScienceDirect, Lilacs, Scopus e Google Schoolar, OpenGrey.eu, DissOnline, The New York Academy of Medicine e Research Gate. Foram critérios de inclusão: 1) Estudos com indivíduos com COVID-19; 2) Registro dos sinais/sintomas da COVID-19 e das funções olfativo-gustativa. Foram critérios de exclusão: 1) Estudos sobre coronavírus não humano; 2) Artigos de revisão; 3) Estudos experimentais (em animais ou in vitro); 4) Distúrbios olfativos-gustativos iniciados previamente à infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. A avaliação de risco de viés dos estudos selecionados foi feita por meio da escala de Newcastle-Ottawa. Resultados: Seis artigos dos 1.788 registros foram selecionados. Um total de 1.457 pacientes de diversas etnias foi avaliado; desses, 885 (60,7%) apresentaram perda do olfato e 822 (56,4%) perda do paladar, sendo as mulheres as mais afetadas. Os distúrbios olfativo-gustativos estiveram presentes mesmo sem obstrução nasal/rinorreia e com início mesmo antes dos sinais/sintomas clínicos da COVID-19; a recuperação do olfato/paladar, quando ocorre, geralmente se dá nas duas primeiras semanas após a resolução da doença. Há evidências de que os distúrbios olfativo-gustativos sejam fortes preditores de infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2, podendo-se recomendar o isolamento do paciente, já a partir da consulta médica, para evitar a disseminação do vírus. Não foram identificadas evidências científicas para tratamentos eficazes para qualquer dos distúrbios. Conclusão: Podem ocorrer distúrbios olfativo-gustativos em intensidades variáveis e prévios aos sintomas gerais da COVID-19, devem ser considerados como parte dos sintomas da doença, mesmo em quadros leves. Não há ainda evidências científicas de tratamentos específicos para tais distúrbios na COVID-19.

Abstract Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 virus causes COVID-19, and it is responsible for the largest pandemic since the 1918 H1N1 influenza outbreak. The classic symptoms of the disease have been well defined by the World Health Organization; however, olfactory/gustatory disorders have been reported in some studies, but there are still several missing points in the understanding and in the consensus about the clinical management of these cases. Objective: To identify evidence in the scientific literature about olfactory/gustatory disorders, their clinical presentation, prevalence and possible specific treatments associated with COVID-19. Methods: A systematic review of articles published up to April 25, 2020 was performed in Medline, Cochrane Clinical Trials, ScienceDirect, Lilacs, Scopus and Google Schoolar, OpenGrey.eu, DissOnline, The New York Academy of Medicine and Reasearch Gate. Inclusion criteria: (1) Studies on patients with COVID-19; (2) Records of COVID-19 signs/symptoms, and olfactory/gustatory functions. Exclusion criteria: (1) Studies on non-human coronavirus; (2) Review articles; (3) Experimental studies (in animals or in vitro); (4) Olfactory/gustatory disorders initiated prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The risk assessment of bias of the selected studies was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Six articles from the 1788 records met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. A total of 1457 patients of different ethnicities were assessed; of them, 885 (60.7%) and 822 (56.4%) had smell and taste disorders, respectively, with women being most often affected. There were olfactory/gustatory disorders even without nasal obstruction/rhinorrhea and beginning even before the signs/symptoms of COVID-19; the recovery of smell/taste, when it occurs, usually happened in the first two weeks after COVID-19 resolution. There is evidence that olfactory/gustatory disorders are strong predictors of infection by SARS-CoV-2, and it is possible to recommend patient isolation, as early as of the medical consultation, preventing the spread of the virus. No scientific evidence has been identified for effective treatments for any of the disorders. Conclusion: Olfactory/gustatory disorders may occur at varying intensities and prior to the general symptoms of COVID-19 and should be considered as part of the clinical features of COVID-19, even in mild cases. There is still no scientific evidence of specific treatments for such disorders in COVID-19 disease.

OBJECTIVES: We designed a cohort study to describe characteristics and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the largest public hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as Latin America becomes the epicenter of the pandemic. METHODS: This is the protocol for a study being conducted at an academic hospital in Brazil with 300 adult ICU beds dedicated to COVID-19 patients. We will include adult patients admitted to the ICU with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 during the study period. The main outcome is ICU survival at 28 days. Data will be collected prospectively and retrospectively by trained investigators from the hospital’s electronic medical records, using an electronic data capture tool. We will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, severity of disease, and laboratorial test results at admission. Information on the need for advanced life support and ventilator parameters will be collected during ICU stay. Patients will be followed up for 28 days in the ICU and 60 days in the hospital. We will plot Kaplan-Meier curves to estimate ICU and hospital survival and perform survival analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model to identify the main risk factors for mortality. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04378582. RESULTS: We expect to include a large sample of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU and to be able to provide data on admission characteristics, use of advanced life support, ICU survival at 28 days, and hospital survival at 60 days. CONCLUSIONS: This study will provide epidemiological data about critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Brazil, which could inform health policy and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries.

RESUMO A leishmaniose visceral (LV) é uma zoonose de grande impacto em saúde pública. A infecção nos gatos tem sido relatada nos países onde a doença é endêmica. Seu papel como reservatório não está satisfatoriamente elucidado, embora a transmissão do parasito de um felino infectado para vetor tenha sido reportada por xenodiagnóstico. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a presença de anticorpos anti-Leishmania spp. em animais da espécie felina em área endêmica para LV (Bauru-SP), por meio dos testes sorológicos de reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI) e ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA), e associá-los às variáveis: gênero, idade, raça e forma de criação. Foram testados soros de 276 felinos, dos quais 82 foram reagentes pelo método ELISA (29,71%), 17 pelo RIFI (6,15%) e 10 em ambos os testes (3,6%). Houve associação estatística significativa para a variável forma de criação, em que 100% dos animais errantes foram soropositivos a pelo menos um dos testes (P<0,005). Tal associação não foi encontrada para as demais variáveis analisadas (P>0,05). Não houve concordância entre o resultado dos testes, pois o método ELISA é mais sensível que o método RIFI.

ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonosis with a great impact on public health. Infection in cats has been reported in countries where the disease is endemic. Its role as reservoir is not satisfactorily elucidated, although transmission of the parasite from an infected feline to vector has been reported by xenodiagnosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of anti-Leishmania spp antibodies in feline animals in an area endemic to LV (Bauru-SP), using the serological tests of Indirect Immunofluorescence Reaction (IFR) and ELISA and variables: gender, age, race and form of creation. Samples of 276 felines were tested, of which 82 were ELISA reagents (29,71%), 17 by IFR (6,15%) and 10 in both tests (3,6%). There was a significant statistical association for the variable form of breeding, where 100% of the wandering animals were seropositive to at least one of the tests (P <0,005). Such association was not found for the other variables analyzed (P >0,05). There was no concordance between the results of the tests, since the ELISA method is more sensitive than the RIFI method.

ABSTRACT Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin and Clemants (Syn: Chenopodium ambrosioides L.), Amaranthaceae, is a plant with antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiparasitic and antitumor properties that is commonly used in Brazilian folk medicine. In this work we performed the optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction of flavonoids in the aerial parts of D. ambrosioides. The flavonoid concentrations, as rutin equivalents, were quantified with the aid of a validated spectrophotometric method. The Box–Behnken (33) design with response surface methodology, for the independent variables, extraction time, temperature, and ethanol content, were used for the optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction. The analytical method was selective, linear, without matrix interference, accurate, precise and robust. The best conditions for the ultrasound-assisted extraction of flavonoids were: time of 60 min, temperature of 57 °C and ethanol content of 57% (w/w). The methods of extracting and quantifying flavonoids developed in the present study have provided be eco-friendly, simple, and useful to determine the flavonoid content, expressed as rutin equivalents, in the aerial parts of D. ambrosioides.

OBJECTIVES: This prospective, randomized, open-label study aimed to compare the effects of antihypertensive treatment based on amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide on the circulating microparticles and central blood pressure values of hypertensive patients. METHODS: The effects of treatments on circulating microparticles were assessed during monotherapy and after the consecutive addition of valsartan and rosuvastatin followed by the withdrawal of rosuvastatin. Each treatment period lasted for 30 days. Central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity were measured at the end of each period. Endothelial, monocyte, and platelet circulating microparticles were determined by flow cytometry. Central blood pressure values and pulse wave velocity were recorded at the end of each treatment period. RESULTS: No differences in brachial blood pressure were observed between the treatment groups throughout the study. Although similar central blood pressure values were observed during monotherapy, lower systolic and diastolic central blood pressure values and early and late blood pressure peaks were observed in the amlodipine arm after the addition of valsartan alone or combined with rosuvastatin. Hydrochlorothiazide-based therapy was associated with a lower number of endothelial microparticles throughout the study, whereas a higher number of platelet microparticles was observed after rosuvastatin withdrawal in the amlodipine arm. CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar brachial blood pressure values between groups throughout the study, exposure to amlodipine was associated with lower central blood pressure values after combination with valsartan, indicating a beneficial interaction. Differences between circulating microparticles were modest and were mainly influenced by rosuvastatin withdrawal in the amlodipine arm.

The scientific publication landscape is changing quickly, with an enormous increase in options and models. Articles can be published in a complex variety of journals that differ in their presentation format (online-only or in-print), editorial organizations that maintain them (commercial and/or society-based), editorial handling (academic or professional editors), editorial board composition (academic or professional), payment options to cover editorial costs (open access or pay-to-read), indexation, visibility, branding, and other aspects. Additionally, online submissions of non-revised versions of manuscripts prior to seeking publication in a peer-reviewed journal (a practice known as pre-printing) are a growing trend in biological sciences. In this changing landscape, researchers in biochemistry and molecular biology must re-think their priorities in terms of scientific output dissemination. The evaluation processes and institutional funding for scientific publications should also be revised accordingly. This article presents the results of discussions within the Department of Biochemistry, University of São Paulo, on this subject.

Abstract: Four novel Cr (III), Co (II) and Ni (II) complexes with 2-thiazoline-2-tiol derivative ligands were synthesized and characterized using elemental, physiochemical, and spectroscopy analytical methods. The results showed the formation of ligands coordinated by sulfur atoms of the C = S bond to the L1 ligand and by the sulfur atom of the C-S bond and/or nitrogen of the intra C-ring bond of the L2 ligand. The activity of the complexes against Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts of clinical importance was evaluated by broth microdilution method. The best result was obtained to L2-Ni compound against E. cloacae (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) = 62.5 µg/mL). Additionally, the compounds showed anti-Candida activity (MIC values ranging from 250 to 500 µg/mL), except the L1-Cr that was not active against any tested microorganism.

The aim of this study was to evaluate intake, performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of lambs fed finishing diets containing 0%, 7.5% and 15% safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius) as a replacement for corn and soybean meal. Thirty-six male lambs with mean bodyweight of 17.9 ± 1.8 kg were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: C0: no safflower seeds, C7.5: 7.5%safflower seeds in diet (DM basis), and C15: 15% safflower seeds in diet (DM basis). The lambs were fed in pens of two and thus there were six replicates per treatment. Performance and carcass characteristics were not affected by including safflower seeds in their diet. Animals fed 7.5% safflower seeds had greater dry matter intake. There was a linear effect of increasing the redness (a*) of meat with the amount of safflower, where a mean of 15.77 was found for lambs that received the C15 diet. With increasing levels of safflower, the concentration of fatty acids C14:0, C17:0, and C22:1 increased. However, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, C18:2) was reduced in lambs fed C15. A concentration of 0.461 g/100 g meat was observed for animals that consumed C7.5. Thus, lambs fed a diet containing 7.5% safflower had the greatest dry matter intake, carcass fat, and concentration of conjugated linoleic acid in their meat, and enhanced meat colour.

RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar e comparar o efeito inflamatório, por meio da determinação de proteínas de fase aguda, produzido por dois protocolos cirúrgicos distintos de ovariohisterectomia em cadelas. Para tanto, foram determinadas as concentrações de proteína C reativa (CRP) e haptoglobina (Hp) de 17 cadelas, sem raça definida, adultas, sendo nove animais submetidos à ovariohisterectomia pela técnica convencional por laparotomia e oito a ovariohisterectomia pela técnica minimamente invasiva. Para avaliar a resposta de fase aguda causada pelo trauma cirúrgico, amostras de sangue foram obtidas antes dos procedimentos cirúrgicos e em quatro momentos distintos após as cirurgias (24, 48 horas e sete dias) para as dosagens de CRP e Hp, com kit comercial ELISA e via ensaio de ligação com a hemoglobina, respectivamente, validados para o uso em cães. Como não houve distribuição normal dos dados, utilizou-se o teste de Kruskall-Wallis para comparação das variáveis quantitativas entre os dois grupos. Os testes de Friedman e One-way ANOVA foram usados para comparações múltiplas entre os momentos avaliados, sendo considerado P<0,05 como significante. Houve diferença significativa (P<0,0001) para as concentrações de CRP 24 horas após o procedimento cirúrgico entre os dois protocolos utilizados. Não houve diferença significativa para as concentrações de Hp entre os dois protocolos cirúrgicos. Foram evidenciadas alterações significativas para as concentrações de CRP e Hp 24 e 48 horas após as ovariohisterectomias, independentemente da técnica cirúrgica utilizada. As concentrações de CRP e Hp demonstraram o efeito inflamatório imediato induzido pela ovariohisterectomia convencional e minimamente invasiva.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate and to compare the possible inflammatory changes by screening acute phase proteins concentrations in healthy bitches subjected to ovariohysterectomy. Minimally invasive and conventional (laparotomy) ovariohysterectomies were performed in 17 client-owned adult female mixed breed dogs. Nine animals were subjected to minimally invasive and eight animals to conventional ovariohysterectomy. Blood samples were taken before surgery, 24, 48 hours, and seven days postoperatively. Serum C-reactive concentration was determined by a commercial ELISA kit and serum haptoglobin concentration was measured via hemoglobin binding assay, both previously validated for use in dogs. As the data did not meet the normal distribution criteria, the nonparametric Kruskall-Wallis was performed to compare quantitative variables between groups. One-way ANOVA and the Friedman test were used for multiple comparisons between time points, with a P<0.05 considered significant. C-reactive protein concentration was significantly different (P<0.0001) at 24 hours postoperatively between groups. There was no significant difference in haptoglobin concentration between groups. C-reactive protein and haptoglobin concentrations were significantly different at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively for minimally invasive and conventional ovariohisterectomies. These findings provided an overview of the short-term inflammatory effects produced by minimally invasive and conventional ovariohysterectomies.

RESUMO: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os parasitas gastrintestinais e pulmonares que acometem bezerros bem como a possível influência de fatores climáticos e da idade no parasitismo. Para isso, durante um período de 12 meses (setembro de 2014 a agosto de 2015), amostras de fezes foram coletadas a cada três meses diretamente da ampola retal de 140 bezerros mestiços (dois a 12 meses de idade), clinicamente saudáveis, pertencentes a duas propriedades leiteiras localizadas nos municípios de Botucatu (n=53) e Manduri (n=87), estado de São Paulo. Realizou-se a contagem de ovos por grama de fezes pela técnica de McMaster modificada com sensibilidade de 50 ovos por grama de fezes (OPG). Coproculturas foram realizadas em pool de amostras para a obtenção das larvas infectantes (L3). Larvas de primeiro estágio de Dictyocaulus viviparus foram recuperadas pela modificação da técnica de Baermann. Os dados não se apresentaram normalmente distribuídos (Shapiro-Wilk), e o teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis foi utilizado para avaliar os dados de OPG em relação às estações do ano e faixa etária. Para comparações múltiplas, empregou-se o pós-teste de Dunn. Foi verificado que em Manduri, no inverno, houve um aumento significativo (P<0,0001) na contagem de OPG em comparação as demais estações do ano. Em Botucatu, os animais com dois a três meses de idade apresentaram maiores contagens de OPG quando comparados aos animais de oito a 12 meses de idade (P=0,01). A prevalência e a média global de animais positivos para ovos do tipo Strongylida, em Botucatu, foi de 81,1% e 340, respectivamente, e em Manduri foi de 83,9% e 854, respectivamente. Em adição, de maneira geral, foram encontrados ovos de Strongyloides spp., Moniezia spp., Trichuris spp. e oocistos de Eimeria spp. Foram recuperadas, em ordem de prevalência, larvas infectantes de Cooperia spp., Haemonchus spp., Oesophagostomum spp. e Trichostrongylus spp. Larvas de D. viviparus foram recuperadas somente na propriedade de Botucatu durante todo o ano, com exceção da primavera.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the occurrence of gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites in calves and to evaluate seasonal and age patterns in parasitism. For this, we used 140 clinically healthy crossbreed calves (two to 12 months old) that belonged to two private farms in the municipalities of Botucatu (n=53) and Manduri (n=87), São Paulo state, Brazil. The calves were monitored for 12 months (from September 2014 to August 2015). Fecal samples were collected directly from the rectum every three months. Fecal egg counts were determined using the modified McMaster technique with a sensitivity of 50 eggs per gram of feces (EPG). Coproculture was performed on pooled samples to identify Strongylida infective larvae. First-stage larvae of Dictyocaulus viviparus were extracted by a modified Baermann method. The data showed non-normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk) and the nonparametric Kruskall-Wallis test was employed to evaluate the EPG data by seasons and age groups. Dunn’s post-test was used for multiple comparisons (P<0.05). The calves from Manduri farm showed significantly higher fecal egg counts (P<0.0001) in the winter when compared to other seasons. At Botucatu farm, young calves (2-3 months old) showed significantly higher EPG than old calves (8-12 months) (P=0.01). The prevalence and overall mean of animals positive for Strongylida type-eggs were 81.1% and 340 in Botucatu, respectively, versus 83.9% and 854 in Manduri, respectively. Furthermore, we found Strongyloides spp., Moniezia spp., and Trichuris spp. eggs and Eimeria spp. oocysts. The prevalent genera in all coprocultures in decreasing order were: Cooperia spp., Haemonchus spp., Oesophagostomum spp., and Trichostrongylus spp. First-stage larvae of Dictyocaulus viviparus were found only in Botucatu farm samples throughout the year, except in spring.
