Relatos da técnica de implante de penas na reabilitação de aves silvestres no Centro de Recuperação de Animais Silvestres do Parque Ecológico do Tietê, São Paulo, SP. A técnica de implante de penas é utilizada para reparar rêmiges e retrizes danificadas, restaurando a capacidade de voo destas aves e, consequentemente, diminuindo o tempo necessário para a reabilitação. É uma técnica muito antiga utilizada principalmente em rapinas, mas pode ser aplicada em outras aves. Os incidentes com linhas de pipa, o manuseio inadequado na contenção ou transporte, o corte de penas e as condições precárias em cativeiros irregulares são as principais causas da incapacidade de voo das aves recebidas no Centro de Recuperação de Animais Silvestres do Parque Ecológico do Tietê (CRAS-PET), localizado entre os municípios de Guarulhos e São Paulo, no estado de São Paulo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar os procedimentos de coleta, a técnica de implante de penas em rêmiges, além dos resultados obtidos pelo CRAS-PET com a utilização desta técnica na reabilitação de aves silvestres. A técnica foi aplicada em 85 indivíduos, de 17 espécies, sendo Asio clamator a espécie mais representativa com 27,1% dos procedimentos. A metodologia de substituição total da pena foi adotada para todos os indivíduos, a quantidade de penas foi variável entre três e 37 rêmiges implantadas por indivíduo. Para o banco de penas, o método por corte completo com tesoura de precisão no cálamo mostrou-se rápido e eficiente, as hastes de bambu e o cálamo de outra pena foram mais adequados por serem leves e flexíveis. A cola a base de etilcianoacrilato de média viscosidade apresentou melhor resultado tanto para a manipulação quanto no tempo de secagem.  A anestesia geral com isoflurano foi a mais positiva para o procedimento, pois é mais célere e diminui a agitação da ave na recuperação anestésica. A técnica de implante mostrou-se uma excelente ferramenta na reabilitação de animais silvestres e os resultados mostraram uma opção rápida e confiável de reparar penas de voo danificadas e, consequentemente, reestabelecer o voo de aves silvestres em reabilitação.

Seeds used to plant wheat, corn and rice crops in Brazil are treated with the insecticide carbofuran associated with the dye rhodamine B, attracting granivorous birds and causing mortality during sowing. The objective of this study was to evaluate if using camouflaged seeds can minimize mortality caused by the ingestion of seeds with carbofuran. Alternatives for reducing mortality, such as using carbofuran without rhodamine B or replacing carbofuran by carbosulfan, were compared. Three experiments were carried out in regions of known bird mortality in the states of Paraná and São Paulo, Brazil, using conventional sowing over plowed soil in the traditional planting system, 15,896 kg of seeds in 111.46 ha. Bird carcasses were collected and dissected to unveil which poisoned seed treatments had caused birds' deaths. The mortality mounted to 296 birds of 11 species. Eared doves were the most numerous casualties (263). There was significant correlation between mortality and number of consumed seeds. The consumption of camouflaged seeds was lower than that of commercial seeds treated with rhodamine B. The mortality caused by seeds with both rhodamine B and carbofuran was higher than mortality caused by seeds camouflaged only with carbofuran. The replacement of carbofuran with carbosulfan also seemingly reduced mortality, but carbosulfan mortality might have been underestimated as a result of the apparent movement of affected birds after exposure. Seeds treated with carbofuran and rhodamine B and without any dye, were attractive. Because legal requirement for seeds treated with pesticides to be differentiated by dying, the substitution of rhodamine B by camouflaging must be encouraged.

West Nile (WNV) and Usutu (USUV) viruses are mosquito-borne flaviviruses. Thanks to their importance as zoonotic diseases, a regional plan for surveillance of Arboviruses was implemented in Emilia-Romagna in 2009. The province of Ferrara belongs to the Emilia-Romagna region, and it is an endemic territory for these viruses, with favorable ecological conditions for abundance of mosquitoes and wild birds. From 2015 to 2019, we collected 1842 dead-found birds at a wildlife rehabilitation center, which were analysed by three different PCRs for the detection of WNV and USUV genomes. August was characterized by the highest infection rate for both viruses. Columbiformes scored the highest USUV prevalence (8%), while Galliformes and Strigiformes reported the highest prevalence for WNV (13%). Among Passeriformes (the most populated Order), Turdus merula was the most abundant species and scored the highest prevalence for both viruses. To optimize passive surveillance plans, monitoring should be focused on the summer and towards the avian species more prone to infection by both viruses.

This paper reports additional information about a mange outbreak by the mite Allopsoroptoides galli in a commercial egg-laying hen facility in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. About half of the 76,000 multi-age birds of the flock were affected. Experimental infestations carried out on naive hens resulted in clinical signs similar to those diagnosed in naturally infested hens, such as generalized scaly dermatitis, presence of mucus-like material and yellowish crusts on the skin and around the calami, feather loss and strong unpleasant odor. About 30% drop of egg production was estimated. The possible source of infestation were wild birds identified on the ground and roofs of the sheds.

Background: In light of the few reports from intertropical latitudes and their conflicting results, we aimed to replicate and update the investigation of seasonal patterns of suicide occurrences in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Data relating to male and female suicides were extracted from the Mortality Information Enhancement Program (PRO-AIM), the official health statistics of the municipality of São Paulo. Seasonality was assessed by studying distribution of suicides over time using cosinor analyses. Results: There were 6,916 registered suicides (76.7% men), with an average of 39.0 ± 7.0 observed suicides per month. For the total sample and for both sexes, cosinor analysis estimated a significant seasonal pattern. For the total sample and for males suicide peaked in November (late spring) with a trough in May–June (late autumn). For females, the estimated peak occurred in January, and the trough in June–July. Conclusions: A seasonal pattern of suicides was found for both males and females, peaking in spring/summer and dipping in fall/winter. The scarcity of reports from intertropical latitudes warrants promoting more studies in this area.
