The quantitative knowledge of hydrological parameters (rainfall and flow) and their spatial and temporal variability on the regions or basins should be understood as essential to the efficient planning and management of water resources. Because the Ivinhema Basin, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, represents an important inductor on the region agricultural development, characterized as a major producer of grains and meat, it was used to characterize the hydrological study. Knowing the rainfall, flow and drainage area of each of the studied affluent, it was calculated the proportion of contribution of the affluent. To that end, it was proposed the concepts of potential and real contributions, aiming to identify the proportion of contribution of each of the affluent to the formation of the flow in the Ivinhema Basin. The results revealed that: the highest rainfall in the Ivinhema Basin occurred in the headwater regions; the mean specific flow of long duration reduces from the headwater to the mouth of Ivinhema Basin; the Sub-basin of Dorado's River has the highest potential and real contribution for the formation of the Ivinhema Basin flow; and the drainage areas of the affluent Dourados and Vacaria contribute with 53% flow of the basin.

Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is a tuberous plant belonging to the Araceae family whose tuber is the 14th most consumed food crop in the world. Characterized as an unconventional vegetable, taro is grown in Brazil as a subsistence crop, but in recent years began to gain commercial importance, especially in the states of Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. To avoid loss of genetic diversity of the local varieties traditionally grown in Brazil a core collection for taro germplasm has been developed by the Instituto Capixaba de Pesquisa, Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural do estado do Espirito Santo (Incaper). The aim of this study was to perform a molecular characterization of the seven regional core collections. Genetic diversity of the cultivars was investigated by using SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) polymorphisms, in seven loci (Xuqtem55, Xuqtem73, Xuqtem84, Xuqtem88, Xuqtem91, Xuqtem97 and Xuqtem110). Genetic diversity of the cultivars, based on the seven microsatellite alleles, was evaluated by using the software GelCompar II, showed that the loci Xuqtem73, Xuqtem88 and Xuqtem110 were the most informative, featuring 7, 10 and 8 alleles, respectively, a percentage of cultivars with polymorphic alleles of 85, 57 and 100% and identical PIC of 0.91. Based on Xuqtem110 locus analysis, the seven cultivars were grouped in two clusters. Chinês Regional Incaper cultivar was originated from Chinês cultivar which originated the São Bento cultivar, corroborating previous results. Macaquinho and Chinês cultivars were shown to be the primitive ones originating the allelic collections found in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Espirito Santo.

Herein we describe spawning and egg guarding in the erythrinid fish Hoplias malabaricus observed in the southern Pantanal (19° 34' S and 57° 00' W), state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Nests were depressions built on sandy soil in flooded areas, and contained a mean of 8,197 ± 2,204 eggs (N = 4); the mean diameter of eggs was 1.44 ± 0.09 mm (N = 400). Among 11 nests observed, eight were guarded by males and three by the pair. One male remained in the nest for six days, and two pairs remained guarding the eggs for at least three days before being captured. Females (N = 2) captured in the nest contained oocytes in their ovaries. Our observations suggest that male parental care is the normal form of parental care in H. malabaricus, but biparental care also seems to occur.

We used a test-negative design to estimate the vaccine effectiveness of Ad26.COV2.S (Janssen) against symptomatic COVID-19 and clinical outcomes in Mato-Grosso do Sul, Brazil. We analyzed 11,817 RT-PCR tests. The mean age was 37 (SD=17) years, 2,308 (20%) of individuals more or equal than 50 years and almost two-thirds of the population was Brown/Pardo. Adjusted effectiveness against symptomatic COVID-19 after 28 days of the single dose was 50.9% (95% CI, 35.5-63.0). Adjusted effectiveness against clinical outcomes was 72.9% (95% CI, 35.1-91.1) for hospitalization, 92.5% (95% CI, 54.9-99.6) for ICU admission, 88.7% (95% CI, 17.9-99.5) for mechanical ventilation and 90.5% (95% CI, 31.5-99.6) for death. Despite lacking precision on some estimates, a single dose of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine continues to protect specially for severe forms of COVID-19 in the context of new variants.

O ambiente SIG (Sistema de Informações Geográficas) é o ideal para integrar dados, informações e cartas de naturezas diferentes. Por exemplo, dados climáticos e cartas topográficas ou de solos podem ser analisados em conjunto, levando toda a informação para uma base comum, o que permite a sua integração e uso. A Equação Universal de Perdas dos Solos (EUPS ou USLE) é atualmente utilizada, com sucesso, como uma forma para a avaliação da perda dos solos por erosão laminar e foi aplicada para a Bacia do Rio Taquarizinho (ao Sul de Coxim, Mato Grosso do Sul), região que apresentou grandes modificações no tipo de uso e ocupação do solo no período analisado. Neste trabalho são apresentados os parâmetros envolvidos com a USLE, alguns obtidos da digitalização de cartas temáticas e tabelas como de Erosividade das chuvas (R), Erodibilidade do solo (K) ou Uso e Manejo do Solo e Práticas Conservacionistas (CP) e outros, como Comprimento (L) e Declividade de vertentes (S,) obtidos em ambiente SIG, através de dados topográficos. O ambiente SIG permitiu a completa integração entre os dados para a obtenção dos parâmetros da USLE e os resultados. Para a Bacia do Rio Taquarizinho a USLE foi aplicada em três diferentes momentos: 1966, 1985 e 1996. Esta aplicação multitemporal mostrou a tendência evolutiva do processo erosivo na região. Para os valores absolutos da taxa de erosão laminar dos solos, de 1966 a 1996, em alguns locais, o desmatamento implicou num aumento da taxa de erosão laminar dos solos em mais de 50 vezes. As perdas médias anuais de solo por erosão laminar foram representadas por valores médios, para toda a Bacia do Taquarizinho, de 4,44 ton/ha. para 1966, de 5,53 ton/ha. para 1985 e de 8,65 ton/ha. para 1996. MULTITEMPORAL EVALUATION OF SOIL LOSS IN THE TAQUARIZINHO BASIN, MATO GROSSO DO SUL - BRAZIL Abstract The GIS - Geographic Information System environment is ideal for integrating data, information and different kinds of maps. For example, climate data and topographic or soil cover maps can be analyzed together, bringing all the information into a common base, thus permitting integration and use. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is currently used successfully as a form of evaluating soil loss via laminar erosion, and it was applied to the Taquarizinho River Basin (to the south of Coxim, Mato Grosso do Sul State), a region which showed great changes in the type of use and occupation of the soil during the period analyzed. In the present work are presented the parameters involved in the USLE, some obtained from the digitalization of thematic maps and tables, such as the Rain Erosive Potential (R), Soil Erodability (K), and Cover and Management of the Soil and Conservation Practices (CP), and others, such as Length (L) and Slope Declivity (S), obtained from the GIS environment, from topographic data. The GIS environment permitted a complete integration between the data used to obtain the USLE parameters, and the results. For the Taquarizinho River Basin, the USLE was applied to three different periods: 1966, 1985 and 1996. This multi-temporal application showed a tendency of evolving erosion in the region. Calculations of the absolute values of rates of laminar erosion of the soils indicate that deforestation has lead to an increase of more than fifty times in such erosion, from 1966 to 1996. The mean annual losses of soil from laminar erosion for the entire Taquarizinho River Basin are calculated to have been 4.44 ton/ha in 1996, 5.53 ton/ha in 1985, and 8.65 ton/ha in 1996.

Abstract Neonate alloimmune neutropenia (NAIN) is caused by the transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies directed against antigens on the infant’s neutrophils. To date, there are scant studies about its clinical characteristics and characterization of antineutrophil antibodies though some case reports are found. In this study we analyzed 11 cases with NAIN from January 2005 to December 2007. The diagnosis of NAIN was confirmed by the transient neutropenia less than 500/μl of absolute neutrophil count (ANC), the detection of maternal antineutrophil antibody, the incompatibility of neutrophil antigens between parents, and their mothers without autoimmune diseases. Antineutrophil antibodies were detected by granulocyte indirect immunofluorescence test using flow cytometry. To quantify the strength of the antibodies, the ratio of the mean fluorescence channel of each sample to that of control serum was expressed as relative fluorescence intensity according to the method reported previously (Blood99: 3468, 2002). The median age at diagnosis in NAIN patients was 8 days after birth ranged from 0 to 30 days. The average of ANC at the presentation was 170/μl ranged from 0 to 500/μl. All antineutrophil antibodies detected in sera of both neonates and their mothers were against HNA-1 antigens. The alloantibody against HNA-1a was found in 2 cases, that against HNA-1b was in 6 cases, and that against FcγR IIIb was found in 3 cases. The fact that the frequencies of homozygote of HNA-1a and HNA-1b in Japanese population were approximately 50% and 12%, respectively may reflect the frequency of alloantibody specificity in NAIN. During the neutropenic period, 7 cases with NAIN showed mild to moderate infections associated with neutropenia, such as pyrexia and pyodermia. In contrast, 4 of 11 cases with NAIN did not have any infectious episodes in their clinical course. In all patients, the spontaneous recovery of neutropenia with the disappearance of alloantibody was observed within 6 months (median 85 days ranged from 3 weeks to 6 months). The duration until spontaneous resolution of neutropenia was dependent on the strength of alloantibody found in sera of the mothers and neonates. Two patients with significantly high strength of alloantibodies had the relatively long duration to restore the neutropenia(4 months and 6 months). In conclusion, the specificity of antineutrophil antibodies in patients with alloimmune neutropenia is dependent on the frequencies of neutrophil antigens in Japanese population. The quantification of alloantibodies in neonates and their mothers may be useful in considering the clinical course of neutropenia in neonates.

Cattle ticks Rhipicephalus(Boophilus) microplus are mainly controlled in Brazil by means of acaricide products, without any official policies in this regard. Acaricides continue to be sold indiscriminately, and this has contributed towards making the problem of resistance widespread, thus making diagnosis and monitoring of tick resistance essential. Here, bioassays (larval packet test) were performed on tick populations from the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul regarding their susceptibility to cypermethrin, deltamethrin and flumethrin. All the tick samples tested showed resistance to cypermethrin (10) (resistance factor (RF) ranging from 5.6 to 80.3) and deltamethrin (10) (RF ranging from 2.4 to 83.1). Six out of eight populations were resistant to flumethrin (RF ranging from 3.8 to 8.2). PCR molecular analyses did not show any T2134A mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene, in any of the sampled populations. The results from this study highlight the critical status of resistance of the cattle tick to synthetic pyrethroids in the regions studied. Further studies are needed to identify the mechanisms responsible for the resistant phenotypes observed in the bioassays. This was the first detection of flumethrin resistance in Brazil.
