    ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to describe lesions in four birds, victims of collisions with aircraft, coming from the International Airport of Recife/Guararapes Gilberto Freyre, Pernambuco, Brazil. Contused wounds were predominant in birds in this study, characterized by the presence of fractures, bruises and hematomas and justified by the blunt action promoted by the type of vulnerant agent involved (aircraft). The analysis under medico-legal veterinary aspect of lesions in bird strike is essential, because in addition to the attempt to establish a standard for differentiating the aircraft lesions, it can guide the bird strike hazard management programs at airports, since the necropsy allows the identification of the species involved or at least facilitates the obtaining biological material for identification

    RESUMO Objetivou-se com este estudo pesquisar a ocorrĂȘncia de anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii em carcarĂĄs (Caracara plancus) capturados no Aeroporto Internacional do Recife/Guararapes Gilberto Freyre, Pernambuco, Brasil. Foram analisadas 115 amostras de soros sanguĂ­neos pelo teste de aglutinação modificada (IgG, MAT≄25) utilizando taquizoĂ­tos inativados em formalina. Do total de amostras analisadas, 5,21% (6/115) foram positivas para presença de anticorpos anti-T. gondii, 16,67% com tĂ­tulo 1:25 (1/06) e 83,33% (5/06) com tĂ­tulo 1:50. A ocorrĂȘncia de anticorpos em carcarĂĄs procedentes de regiĂŁo aeroportuĂĄria fomenta a preocupação em relação a aspectos ainda pouco elucidados, relacionados principalmente Ă  inserção de aves silvestres na cadeia epidemiolĂłgica da toxoplasmose conectada Ă  ação antrĂłpica, tornando prĂłxima a interação entre animais silvestres, domĂ©sticos e o homem. Dessa forma, Ă© notĂłria a necessidade de estudos relacionados Ă  dinĂąmica de transmissĂŁo entre os diferentes genĂłtipos existentes nessa trĂ­ade e sua relação com o meio ambiente, a fim de determinar a influĂȘncia dessa espĂ©cie animal na cadeia epidemiolĂłgica da toxoplasmose

    Objetivou-se com este estudo investigar a ocorrĂȘncia de Mycoplasma spp., Mycoplasma galissepticum (MG) e Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) em psitacĂ­deos de cativeiro localizado no estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Foram estudadas 85 aves provenientes do Parque Estadual Dois IrmĂŁos, localizado no estado do Pernambuco, Brasil. De cada psitacĂ­deo analisado foram obtidas trĂȘs amostras por meio de swabs da cloaca, palato e conjuntiva totalizando 255 amostras. As amostras coletadas foram submetidas Ă  extração de DNA e Ă  reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR), sendo as positivas submetidas ao isolamento em ĂĄgar Frey. O DNA de Mycoplasma spp. foi detectado em 16,47% (14/85) dos psitacĂ­deos estudados. Das 255 amostras analisadas, 6,66% (17/255) foram positivas para a presença de Mycoplasma spp., sendo 41,18% (7/17) provenientes da conjuntiva, 35,29% (6/17) do palato e 23,53% (4/17) da cloaca. Nenhuma amostra foi positiva para MG ou MS na PCR. Os resultados obtidos permitem confirmar a presença do DNA de Mycoplasma spp. em conjuntiva, palato e cloaca nas aves estudadas. Foram detectadas colĂŽnias semelhantes a membros da classe Mollicutes em 17,64% das amostras (3/17). Esse Ă© o primeiro relato da presença de Mycoplasma spp. em psitacĂ­deos de cativeiro no Nordeste do Brasil

    <p></p><p>ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in carcarĂĄs (Caracara plancus) captured in the Recife/Guararapes Gilberto Freyre International Airport, in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. 115 samples of blood sera were tested by the Modified Agglutination Test technique (IgG, MAT > 25) using tachyzoites inactivated in formalin. Of the total of the analyzed samples, 5,21% (6/115) were positive for the presence of antibodies against T. gondii, 16,67% with a titer of 1:25 (1/06) and 83,33% (5/06) with a titration of 1:50. The occurrence of antibodies in caracaras coming from airport region generate concern about aspects still poorly understood, mainly related to the inclusion of wild birds in the epidemiological chain of toxoplasmosis connected to human action, making close interaction between wild animals, domestic and man. Thus, the need for studies related to the dynamics of transmission between the different existing genotypes in this triad is evident as is its relationship with the environment to determine the influence of this animal species in the epidemiological chain of toxoplasmosis.</p><p></p
