Orientador: Prof. Dr. Claudio José Barros de CarvalhoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Biológicas (Entomologia). Defesa : Curitiba, 19/02/2018Inclui referências: p.96-104Área de concentração : EntomologiaResumo: Muscidae é uma das famílias mais diversas da ordem Diptera, com mais de 5210 espécies descritas, ocorrendo em todas as regiões biogeográficas. O gênero Dolichophaonia de Carvalho, 1993 pode ser reconhecido pelas seguintes características: veia M reta ou levemente curvada em direção ao ápice, cerda posterodorsal da tíbia posterior (calcar) duas vezes mais longa que a espessura da tíbia e asa sem cílios, exceto a veia Costa. A monofilia do gênero é suportada por dois caracteres da probóscide da fêmea: esclerotização saliente na região posterior (premento) e forte ponta em forma de gancho na região anterior do clípeo. O gênero possui 27 espécies, das quais 25 ocorrem na Região Neotropical e duas são da Região Neártica. Os adultos em geral alimenta-se de matéria em decomposição incluindo esterco, mas podem ser polinizadores. Os imaturos são predadores obrigatórios de outras larvas de insetos. O objetivo desse trabalho foi revisar as espécies de Dolichophaonia, com o objetivo de atualizar as diagnoses e redescrições das espécies, incluindo uma chave de identificação para o gênero. Como resultados, três novas espécies do gênero são descritas (localidades-tipo: Cananéia, São Paulo, Brasil; Monteverde, Punta, Costa Rica; Boca Colorado, Madre de Dios, Peru) e a distribuição das espécies foi atualizada. Mapas de distribuição foram elaboradas e images da terminália masculina e feminina de todas as espécies foram disponibilizadas. Além disso, uma análise filogenética com dados morfológicos de todas as espécies de Dolichophaonia e uma análise filogenética com dados moleculares da subfamília Phaoniinae são apresentadas.Abstract: Muscidae is a high diverse family of Diptera, with about 5210 species found in all biogeographical region. The Neotropical genus Dolichophaonia de Carvalho, 1993 can be recognized by the follow characteristics: vein M straight or slightly curved toward apex, hind tibia with a posterodorsal seta (calcar) two times longer than tibia thickness and wings without cilia, except Costal vein. Two characters from female proboscis support the monophyly: strong sclerotinization on posterior region (premento) and a hook-like tip on anterior region of clypeus. The genus has 27 species, including 25 from Neotropical Region and two from Neartic Region. Adults feed on decaying matter including dung and can be pollinators. The immature are obligatory predators of others insect larvae. The aim of this study was review all species of Dolichophaonia, improving diagnosis and species redescriptions, including an identification key. As result, three new species were described (type locality: Cananéia, São Paulo, Brazil; Monteverde, Punta, Costa Rica; Boca Colorado, Madre de Dios, Peru), the species distribution was updated and distributional maps were provided, also images of male and female genitaly were provided. A phylogenetic analysis using morphological data of all Dolichophaonia species and a phylogenetic analysis, using molecular data of some taxa of subfamily Phaoniinae were provided

New records of the Neotropical genus Phaonantho Albuquerque (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

The genus Phaonantho Albuquerque (Anthomyiidae) comprises three species: P. mallochi (Curran), P. benevola Couri, and P. sordilloae Pamplona & Couri. These species are distributed in the neotropics. In this study, we updated the distributional knowledge for Phaonantho species, including the first record of the genus in Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Mexico, and additional new records to Brazil

Neodexiopsis Malloch (Diptera, Muscidae) from Ecuador: description of new species and a key to the species

ABSTRACT Neodexiopsis Malloch (Diptera, Muscidae) is a member of the subfamily Coenosiinae, with more than a hundred species recorded in the Neotropical region. In Ecuador, it is known by four species, which may be an underestimated number. We describe five new species based on recently collected material: Neodexiopsis bicoloratta new species, N. longialata new species, N. nigrocalyptrata new species, N. plana new species, and N. secunda new species. A key to segregating all the recorded species from Ecuador is presented. The male and female terminalia of the new species were dissected and illustrated. Images of the habitus of the adult from the new species are presented

Exposure of workers to occupational heat during the application of phytosanitary products in coffee crop

During the application of phytosanitary products in coffee trees, workers may be exposed to temperatures that could compromise their health. Exposure to occupational heat can lead to progressive dehydration, cramps, exhaustion and the possibility of thermal shock. Thus, knowing the levels of occupational heat that workers are exposed becomes important. This study aimed to evaluate workers’ occupational exposure to heat during the application of phytosanitary products with manual costal pump in the coffee crops. The case study was developed at the IFSULDEMINAS school farm - Campus Inconfidentes in the months of September and October 2017. The occupational heat in the coffee crop was evaluated using the WBGTAVERAGE method, using TGD 400 thermal stress meter. The WBGT values found were compared to the exposure limits of NR 15 for the purposes of insalubrity classification and with NHO 06 for acclimatized and non-acclimatized workers. The results showed that the WBGT found is below the tolerance limit of NR 15, for the month of September. In October, the tolerance limit was exceeded in the period from 11:00 a.m. to 2:59 p.m., considering a continuous heavy activity and rest in the workplace, and the activity considered unhealthy. Considering the criteria of the NHO 06 it was observed that the limits of occupational exposure were exceeded in the month of October, for acclimatized and non-acclimatized workers. In September the occupational exposure limit of NHO 06 was exceeded only for non-acclimated workers. Therefore, the workers should be submitted to acclimatization during the phytosanitary application activity in the month of October

Schwannoma celular retroperitoneal

We present the case of a female patient, 35 years old, who had a complaint of sporadic left flank pain for 5 years. She said she had no comorbidities. The results of the laboratory tests did not show abnormalities. Previous ultrasonography of the urinary tract (without the use of color Doppler) described a possible single cyst postero-inferiorly to the left renal pelvis. In recent ultrasound we observed that topography massive oval formation markedly hypoechoic with discrete intermingled flow. Subsequent abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging characterized retroperitoneal mass along the hilum of the left kidney, associated with renal dimensional reduction and ipsilateral hydronephrosis. Histological diagnosis after tumor excision: cell schwannoma (Antoni A histological standard only).Apresentamos o caso de paciente do gênero feminino, 35 anos, atendida com queixa de dores esporá- dicas no flanco esquerdo por 5 anos. Negou comorbidades. Exames laboratoriais sem anormalidades. Ultrassonografias prévias do aparelho urinário (sem o uso de Doppler colorido) descreveram possível cisto simples póstero-inferiormente a pelve renal esquerda. Em ultrassonografia recente observou-se, nessa topografia, volumosa formação ovalada, acentuadamente hipoecóica, com discreto fluxo de permeio. Tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética abdominais subsequentes caracterizaram massa retroperitoneal junto ao hilo do rim esquerdo, associada à redução dimensional renal e hidronefrose ipsilaterais. Diagnóstico histológico pós-exérese tumoral: schwannoma celular (somente padrão histológico Antoni A)

SEROLOGICAL DETECTION OF HEPATITIS A VIRUS IN FREE-RANGING NEOTROPICAL PRIMATES (Sapajus spp., Alouatta caraya) FROM THE PARANÁ RIVER BASIN, BRAZIL

Nonhuman primates are considered as the natural hosts of Hepatitis A virus (HAV), as well as other pathogens, and can serve as natural sentinels to investigate epizootics and endemic diseases that are of public health importance. During this study, blood samples were collected from 112 Neotropical primates (NTPs) (Sapajus nigritus and S. cay, n = 75; Alouatta caraya, n = 37) trap-captured at the Paraná River basin, Brazil, located between the States of Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul. Anti-HAV IgG antibodies were detected in 4.5% (5/112) of NTPs, specifically in 6.7% (5/75) of Sapajus spp. and 0% (0/37) of A. caraya. In addition, all samples were negative for the presence of IgM anti-HAV antibodies. These results suggest that free-ranging NTPs were exposed to HAV within the geographical regions evaluated
