A study of the comparative morphology and life history of S. fülleborni, S. cebus, and S. simiae in both the parasitic and free-living generations under different environmental conditions, and their comparison with the free-living stages from faeces of Old World and New World primates has led to the conclusion that the three species should be synonymized into one, for which the name Strongyloides fülleborni von Linstow (1905) has priority.

AbstractMales, females, and larvae of Carios fonsecai sp. nov. are described from free-living ticks collected in a cave at Bonito, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The presence of cheeks and legs with micromammillate cuticle makes adults of C. fonsecai morphologically related to a group of argasid species (mostly bat-associated) formerly classified into the subgenus Alectorobius, genus Ornithodoros. Examination of larvae indicates that C. fonsecai is clearly distinct from most of the previously described Carios species formerly classified into the subgenus Alectorobius, based primarily on its larger body size, dorsal setae number, dorsal plate shape, and hypostomal morphology. On the other hand, the larva of C. fonsecai is most similar to Carios peropteryx, and Carios peruvianus, from which differences in dorsal plate length and width, tarsal setae, and hypostome characteristics are useful for morphological differentiation. The mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence of C. fonsecai showed to be closest (85–88% identity) to several corresponding sequences of different Carios species available in GenBank. Bats identified as Peropteryx macrotis and Desmodus rotundus were found infested by C. fonsecai larvae in the same cave where the type series was collected. C. fonsecai showed to be aggressive to humans in the laboratory.

ABSTRACT: Rabies is among the most common neurological disease in cattle in Brazil, causing significant economic losses. Data on the economic impact of rabies in livestock are available in several countries. However, in Brazil, these data focus mainly on the public health point o view, emphasizing the costs related to the prevention of rabies in humans, in dogs, or wildlife. Specific studies carried out in different regions of Brazil indicate critical economic losses caused by rabies in cattle in this country. However, the studies on the losses caused by the disease in cattle lack a detailed analysis of the affected rural properties based on data from official disease control agencies. The objective of this work was to evaluate the economic impact of bovine rabies, and its mitigation through antirabies vaccination in rural properties in Mato Grosso do Sul, Midwestern Brazil.

Introduction:Pharmaceutical services for public health emergencies, such as the Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic, are relevant for service effectiveness in the Brazilian health system. Pharmacists can act strategically in risk reduction. However, official guidelines do not consider pharmaceutical services when approaching health emergencies.Aim:To identify and understand primary healthcare pharmacist interventions in risk reduction for the recent ZIKV epidemic in Brazil.Methods:The study took place in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, in November 2017. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed, including general issues related to knowledge of Zika, risk communication, and the pharmacist's role in patient care for ZIKV disease. The instrument was pre-tested. Primary healthcare center (PHC) pharmacists were subsequently interviewed. Aspects related to knowledge, risk reduction measures, and role were categorized and analyzed. The project received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the Sergio Arouca National School of Public Health.Results:Forty-two of the 48 PHC pharmacists in Campo Grande were interviewed. Risk reduction measures were cited by most interviewees. Among these strategies, 92% were collective measures, such as making information available for the population (30%) and for the health workers (8%), and vector control strategies (43%). Use of mosquito nets was the most cited individual risk-reduction strategy. Only one pharmacist cited risk for pregnant women and suggested birth control as a strategy. Another pharmacist pointed to ZIKV “treatment.” No interviewee mentioned measures related to preparedness of pharmaceutical services.Discussion:PHC pharmacists do not place themselves at the frontline of risk reduction for the ZIKV epidemic. In the face of potential hazards and consequences of this disease, action by pharmacists is deemed critical. This study highlights pharmacist's misconceptions and lack of focused knowledge, pointing to the need for training and capacity-building in order to increase quality of care and positive management of future epidemics.

Abstract The aim of this study was to report, for the first time, the occurrence of the hippoboscid fly Ornithoctona erythrocephala on a red-legged seriema (Cariama cristata). A Diptera specimen was found among the feathers of a free-living red-legged seriema, which was referred to necropsy at the Wild Animal Pathology Service, UNESP Jaboticabal. The fly was collected, stored in absolute alcohol, and shipped to the Institute of Biosciences of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul for proper identification. Based on morphological characters, the specimen was identified as a female of Ornithoctona erythrocephala. This study provides a report on a new host for O. erythrocephala.

This is a case study of homicides carried out within the Second Section of the Justice Court, in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It has been observed that: most homicides are carried out by males (95,7%), Afro-Brazilians (62,9%), between 15 and 25 years (45,7%), illiterate or with incomplete schooling (74,3%), and unemployed (18,6%). It was also observed that the victims' profiles are very similar. Most homicides take place on public streets (41,4%), in the city suburbs, between 20 and 24 o'clock, (51,4%). In 50,0% of the cases, the victim did not receive help from any public health service. In the cases where any family member helped (37,41%), the victims were taken to the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Hospital. Firearms were the prevailing weapons (70,0%) and motives for all crimes were futile, or banal; in most cases (57,0%), alcohol was involved.
