    Listeria monocytogenes é um patógeno relevante veiculado por alimentos. Sua identificação precisa é importante para a correta determinação do risco associado à ingestão do alimento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a ocorrência das espécies de Listeria spp. em amostras de salsichas tipo hot dog e carne moída bovina, comercializadas a granel no Distrito Federal. Foram analisadas 162 amostras, sendo 127 de salsichas tipo hot dog e 35 amostras de carne moída bovina. O isolamento e a identificação do gênero foram feitos por metodologia convencional e a distinção das espécies foi verificada por kit bioquímico específico (API-Listeria®) e por análise de restrição de fragmentos da reação em cadeia da polimerase (RFLP-PCR) do gene 23 rRNA. Foram isoladas 26 cepas de Listeria spp. das amostras de salsichas tipo hot dog, sendo identificadas 18 cepas de Listeria innocua e 08 cepas de Listeria monocytogenes. Das 35 amostras de carne moída bovina, foram isoladas 16 cepas de Listeria spp., sendo identificadas 12 cepas de Listeria innocua e 04 de Listeria monocytogenes. Houve concordância total na distinção das espécies de Listeria spp. através dos dois métodos empregados. A presença de Listeria spp. em amostras de salsicha do tipo hot dog a granel e em carne moída bovina a granel, de estabelecimentos comerciais do Distrito Federal, representa risco à saúde do consumidor.Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen disclosed by foods. Its accurate identification is important for the correct determination of the risk associated with the ingestion of food. The aim of this research was to determine the occurrence of Listeria spp. in samples of hot dog sausages and ground beef, sold in bulk in the Federal District. A total of 162 samples, 127 hot dog sausages and 35 samples of ground beef cattle, were analyzed. The isolation and identification of the genus were made by conventional methodology and distinction of species was verified by specific biochemical kit (API-Listeria®) and by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) of 23S rRNA gene. Twenty-six strains of Listeria spp. were isolated. Samples of hot dog sausages identified 18 strains of Listeria innocua and 08 strains of Listeria monocytogenes. Of the 35 samples of ground beef cattle were isolated, 16 strains of Listeria spp., 12 strains of Listeria innocua and 04 strains of Listeria monocytogenes. There was total agreement in the distinction of Listeria species using the two methods. The presence of Listeria spp. in samples of hot dog sausages and ground beef, sold in bulk in commercial establishment of the Federal District represents a risk to consumer health

    NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

    Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
