During studies on the participation of larval Odonata in the life cycle of trematodes carried out at the Pampulha reservoir, Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between May and September 2011, dragonfly larvae, Orthemis discolor (Burmeister, 1839) and Perithemis mooma Kirby, 1889, were found harboring metacercariae identified as Eumegacetes medioximusBraun, 1901. This is the first report and morphological description of metacercariae of E. medioximus in the Neotropical region.

Melanoides tuberculata that naturally harbored trematode larvae were collected at the Pampulha dam, Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais, Brazil), during malacological surveys conducted from 2006 to 2010. From 7,164 specimens of M. tuberculata collected, 25 (0.35%) were infected by cercariae, which have been morphologically characterized as belonging to the Megalurous group, genus Philophthalmus. Excysted metacercariae were used for successful experimental infection of Gallus gallus domesticus, and adult parasites recovered from the nictitating membranes of chickens were identified as Philophthalmus gralli. This is the first report of P. gralli in M. tuberculata in Brazil.

Studies on fish parasites in Pampulha dam, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, found specimens of Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859 harboring natural infection by larval stages of tapeworms. A total of 250 specimens of P. reticulata were collected and analyzed between February and August 2010, of which 23 were found infected (prevalence 9.2%) with one metacestode each (mean intensity 1, mean abundance 0.09). The analyses of the parasites, particularly the morphology of rostellar hooks, made it possible to identify Glossocercus auritus (Rudolphi, 1818). This is the first report of G. auritus metacestode in South America and P. reticulata is a newly known host for this parasite.

Cyrtophora Simon, 1864 comprises 36 species that occur in the Old World and Australia. Cyrtophora citricola (Forskål, 1775) is widespread and has been introduced in the Neotropical region, in Colombia and Hispaniola. Here is presented the first record of this species in Brazil, in the municipalities of Belo Horizonte and Prudente de Morais, State of Minas Gerais. The specimens studied show variations in coloration and in the abdomen's format, but the genital structure is the same as observed in specimens of C. citricola.

Fatores bióticos a abióticos são importantes agentes de declínio de árvores de interesse na arborização urbana. Este trabalho objetivou a investigação dos problemas fitossanitários (desfolhamento e morte progressiva de ramos) apresentados por Ficus microcarpa (Moraceae) localizados no canteiro central da Avenida Bernardo Monteiro, em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Análises entomológicas e amostras de plantas infectadas revelaram que os agentes causadores da queda de folhas e da morte progressiva de ramos dos Ficus microcarpa são, respectivamente, a mosca-branca-dos-fícus - Singhiella simplex (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) e o fungo Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griffon & Maubl. (= Botryodiplodia theobromae Pat.).

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar o consumo de medicamentos e fatores associados (sócio-demográficos, condições de saúde e uso de serviços de saúde) em uma amostra representativa de 1.598 pessoas com 60+ anos de idade, residentes na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. A variável dependente foi o número de medicamentos consumido nas duas semanas precedentes. A prevalência do uso de medicamentos foi de 72,1% e a média de medicamentos consumidos igual a 2,18, predominando aqueles com ação sobre o sistema cardiovascular. O consumo de qualquer número de medicamentos apresentou associação independente com sexo feminino, idade (80+ anos), ter visitado um médico e apresentar alguma condição crônica. O consumo de maior número de medicamentos (5+) apresentou associações significativas com escolaridade (8+ anos, OR = 2,28) e pior auto-avaliação da saúde (razoável, OR = 5,45; ruim/muito ruim, OR = 5,35). Os resultados deste trabalho mostram que o tipo de medicamento consumido e os fatores associados a esse consumo foram muito semelhantes ao observado em outras populações, sugerindo que existe uma certa uniformidade no consumo e nos seus determinantes, entre populações diferentes.

Pleurolophocercous cercariae emerged from naturally infected Melanoides tuberculata from Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were used to perform experimental infection of laboratory-reared Poecilia reticulata. Mature metacercariae were obtained from the gills of fishes and force-fed to Mus musculus. The adult parasites which recovered from small intestines of mice were identified as Centrocestus formosanus. This is the first report of M. tuberculata as intermediate host of this heterophyid in Brazil.

The dimension of choice and adherence to healthy lifestyles is in the area of social constructions made in representations of individuals and had not yet been included in the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (VIGITEL) analysis systems. This article aims to understand, in individual narratives, representations contained in the trajectories of people's lives selected from the 2010 VIGITEL sample, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It is a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory. Thirty in-depth and open interviews with subjects selected from the 2010 VIGITEL sample were conducted in Belo Horizonte in the State of Minas Gerais. The Structural Analysis of Narrative technique was used to reveal the content of speeches. Age and heredity representations related to NCDs are part of the spectrum of current scientific information. Learning from childhood onwards is the basis of care. The lack of comprehension of the pathophysiology of NCDs, and the depth of representations of illness and death related to communicable diseases, is partly responsible for the difficulty of preventing NCDs.
