    A atuação do médico veterinário de animais silvestres vem crescendo nos últimos anos, com isso, a procura de estudantes da graduação e pós-graduação nesta área também está aumentando. Desse modo, as universidades estão tendo que se adequar a esta demanda, visto que muitos currículos não possuem esta especificidade em sua grade. O presente trabalho tem objetivo de avaliar o papel do NURFS-CETAS/UFPEL na formação de graduandos do curso de medicina veterinária e pós-graduandos de Programas da área na Universidade Federal de Pelotas. 

    DIOCTOPHYMA RENALE (GOEZE, 1782) COLLET- MEYGRET, 1802 (DIOCTOPHYMATIDAE) EM GALICTIS CUJA (MOLINA, 1782) (MUSTELIDAE) NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRASIL

    The objective of the study was to record the occurrence of Dioctophyma renale (Goeze, 1782) Collet- Meygret, 1802 in Galictis cuja Molina, 1782 in southern Brazil. Three specimens of G. cuja were found dead by running over on highways in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and sent to the Laboratory of Parasitology of Wild Animals of the Federal University of Pelotas. Helminths were collected from the kidneys and the abdominal cavity with a mean intensity of infection of 4.66 helminths / host. In Brazil, D. renale had been reported parasitizing G. cuja only in the state of Paraná. Dioctophyma renale is reported for the first time in G. cuja in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.O objetivo do trabalho foi registrar a ocorrência de Dioctophyma renale (Goeze, 1782) Collet- Meygret, 1802, em Galictis cuja Molina, 1782 no sul do Brasil. Três espécimes de G. cuja foram encontrados mortos por atropelamento em rodovias no município de Pelotas, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil e encaminhados ao laboratório de Parasitologia de Animais Silvestres da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Os helmintos foram coletados dos rins e cavidade abdominal com intensidade média de infecção de 4,66 helmintos/hospedeiro. No Brasil, D. renale foi relatado parasitando G. cuja somente no Estado do Paraná. Registra-se a primeira ocorrência de D. renale em G. cuja no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

    Helminthological studies with Chelidae freshwater turtles in South America were conducted in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, where nematodes, digeneans and monogeneans were reported. In this context, the study aims to report new cases of gastrointestinal helminth parasites of Acanthochelys spixii, Hydromedusa tectifera, and Phrynops hilarii. A total of 65 hosts from the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were examined. Seven taxa belonging to Nematoda, Digenea, and Monogenoidea have new cases on hosts Chelidae in South America, as well as a Nematoda and two Digenea have new host cases for Brazil. Thus, the study expands the knowledge about the diversity of helminths and the geographic distribution of taxa associated with Chelidae turtles

    The identification of the fungal species belonging to the healthy microflora in animals is a precondition for the recognition of pathological processes causing them. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of potentially pathogenic fungi in the feces of wild birds collected in Screening Centers. Samples were collected from the feces of 50 cages with different species of birds. The samples were processed according to the modified method STAIB and the plates incubated at 32 °C for up to ten days with daily observation for detection of fungal growth. The isolation of the following species was observed: Malassezia pachydermatis, Candida albicans, C. famata, C. guilliermondii, C. sphaerica, C. globosa, C. catenulata, C. ciferri, C. intermedia, Cryptococcus laurentii, Trichosporon asahii, Geotrichum klebahnii, Aspergillus spp., A. niger and Penicillium spp. Knowing the character of some opportunistic fungi is important in identifying them, facilitating the adoption of preventive measures, such as proper cleaning of cages, since the accumulation of excreta may indicate a risk for both health professionals and centers for screening public health
