Chronic ingestion of Brachiaria spp. by cattle causes in the liver fibrosis, atrophy of left lobe, compensatory hypertrophy of the right lobe, and bile duct proliferation. Typically, these lesions are associated with accumulation in the hepatic parenchyma of cluster with foamy macrophages. This study surveyed bovine livers with those lesions in a slaughterhouse in Central Brazil and estimated the economic losses caused by condemnation of such affected livers. During the study period, 488,476 cattle were slaughter in this particular abattoir. From 5,295 livers condemned due to fibrosis, 192 with lesions were sampled and studied. Economic calculations permitted to infer that the condemnations represented a loss of R$ 108,817.60. It is concluded that the condemnation of livers due to brachiaria-induced fibrosis causes significant economic losses for the meat industry due to condemnation of 23.6 tons of beef liver with an estimate annual loss of more than R$ 100,000.00 in a single slaughterhouse.

A ingestão crônica de braquiária induz lesões hepáticas em bovinos caracterizadas por fibrose, atrofia do lobo esquerdo, hipertrofia compensatória do lobo direito e proliferação de ductos biliares. Tipicamente, essas lesões são associadas com agregados de macrófagos espumosos no parênquima hepático. Nesse trabalho foram estudados fígados com essas lesões num abatedouro frigorífico do Brasil Central e as perdas econômicas causadas pela condenação de tais fígados afetados foram estimadas. Durante o período estudado, 488.476 bovinos foram abatidos nesse matadouro frigorífico, dos quais 5.295 fígados foram condenados devido à fibrose, e 192 com lesão hepática foram estudados. Cálculos econômicos permitiram inferir que essas condenações representaram uma perda de R$ 108.817,60. Conclui-se que a condenação de fígados em razão de fibrose induzida pela ingestão de braquiária causa uma perda significativa para a indústria de carne e produtos bovinos devido à condenação de 23,6 toneladas de fígado em um ano em apenas um frigorífico, com perdas estimadas acima de R$ 100.000,00.

Spirochaetes transmitted by ticks are microorganisms of worldwide distribution, which infect wild, domestic animals and human beings. A total of 300 equine sera from four municipalities: Ananideua (58), Belém (61), Castanhal (131), and Santa Izabel do Pará (50), were evaluated for Borrelia burgdorferi by an Elisa test. There were no significant differences (P<0.05) among municipalities, breed, sex or husbandry. A total of 80 (26.7%) horses were B. burgdorferi positive with titles of 1:800, 72 (90%) horses, 1:1.600, 6 (7.5%) horses, and 1:3.200, 2 (2.5%) horses. The results were similar to those in the USA, where related frequencies ranged from 7 to 75% in asymptomatic seropositive horses. The presence of anti-B.burgdorferi homologous antibodies in horses from four municipalities in the metropolitan mesorregion of Belém suggests the possibility of occurrence of human cases in the region.

The objective was to genotypically compare 35 samples of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis obtained from abscesses of sheep and goats diagnosed with caseous lymphadenitis originated from 5 different municipalities in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco, Brazil. The RFLP-PCR technique with Hpy-Ch4 and Msp I and Pst I Msp I restriction enzimes was used to fingerprint the genes rpoB and pld, respectively. The results demonstrate that there was no difference on the fragments banding pattern among samples, independently of the host species or geographic area studied, defining a homogeneous profile of C. pseudotuberculosis responsible for superficial abscesses for the region.

Lyme disease is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetae) and transmitted through ticks (Ixodidae). Many species of domestic and wild animals are affected. The dog is an important reservoir in the domiciliary environment. The disease affects the joints and causes alterations in other organs. Blood serum samples from 143 dogs, living in the counties of Seropédica, Itaguaí and Rio de Janeiro, were analyzed with the indirect ELISA test, to search for antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi latu sensu. Average positive results were 48.25%, 41.9% in Seropédica, 4.9% in Itaguaí and 1.4% in Rio de Janeiro. The titres varied from 1:400 to 1:6400. The prevalence was lower (p< 0.05) in dogs up to one year of age than in older dogs, with significant difference. Between males and females was no statistical difference with positives titres. The result of this survey should draw attention to the occurrence of Borrelia sp in the area studied, considering the importance of Lyme disease as an emerging zoonosis.

Abstract in English:
ABSTRACT.- Soares C.O., Souza J.C.P., Madruga C.R., Madureira R.C., Massard C.L. & Fonseca A.H. 2000. [Seroprevalence of Babesia bovis in cattle in the "Norte Fluminense" mesoregion.] Soroprevalência de Babesia bovis em bovinos na mesorregião Norte Fluminense. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 20(2):75-79. Depto Parasitologia Animal, Univ. Fed. Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Km 47, Seropédica, RJ 23890-000, Brazil.
Serumprevalence of antibodies against Babesia bovis were studied by the indirect EnzymeLinked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Sera samples from 532 bovines of nine municipalities in the "Norte Fluminense" mesoregion, state of Rio de Janeiro, were analysed. The results showed that 484 (90.98%) were positive by indirect ELISA, ofwhich were: 20.30% with a titre of 1:500, 35.72% of 1:1000, 20.87% of 1:2000, 7.33% of 1:4000, 2.82% of 1:8000, 2.63% of 1 :16000, 0.56% of1 :32000, 0.75% of 1 :64000, and 9.02%were negative. The prevalence analysis was done within three age groups: 1 to 3 years (n= 110), 3 to 6 years (n= 241) and > 6 years (n = 181), of which 98.18%, 90.87% and 86. 7 4% were positive, respectively. There were significant ditferences (P < 0,05) between the 1 to 3 year-group and other age groups. The young animals are less susceptible to the disease than older animals. According to the breed, 91.44% of beef cattle (n= 444) and 88.64% of dairy cattle (n= 88) were positive. Regarding the sex, 90.54% of the females (n = 497) and 97 .14% of the males (n = 35) were positive. There were no significant ditferences between breeding types and the sexes (P > 0.05). There were significant ditferences (P < 0.0001) between the prevalence in the ditferent municipalities. The infection by B. bovis in this mesoregion is heterogeneous, although the seroprevalence showed that the region has to be considered enzootically stable. The epidemiological situation requires immunization only of animals coming from other areas.

RESUMO.- Soares C.O., Souza J.C.P., Madruga C.R., Madureira R.C., Massard C.L. & Fonseca A.H. 2000. [Seroprevalence of Babesia bovis in cattle in the "Norte Fluminense" mesoregion.] Soroprevalência de Babesia bovis em bovinos na mesorregião Norte Fluminense. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 20(2):75-79. Depto Parasitologia Animal, Univ. Fed. Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Km 47, Seropédica, RJ 23890-000, Brazil.
Estudou-se a soroprevalência de anticorpos anti Babesia bovis em bovinos de nove municípios na mesorregião Norte Fluminense do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Realizou-se o ensaio de imunoadsorção enzimática (ELISA) indireto em 532 amostras de soro de bovinos. A análise soroepidemiológica revelou 484 (90,98%) animais reagentes positivos ao ELISA indireto, dos quais: 20,30% com título de 1 :500, 35,72% com título de 1 :1000, 20,87% com título de 1 :2000, 7,33% com título de 1 :4000, 2,82% com título de 1 :8000, 2,63% com título de 1 :16000, 0,56% com título de 1 :32000, 0,75% com título de 1 :64000 e 9,02% foram negativos. A análise da prevalência segundo a faixa etária foi realizada dividindo-se em três grupos etários: 1 a 3 anos (n = 110), 3 a 6 anos (n = 241) e maior que 6 anos (n= 181), onde 98,18%, 90,87% e 86,74% dos animais foram positivos, respectivamente. Houve diferença significativa (P<0,05) do grupo etário de 1 a 3 anos com os demais grupos, caracterizando que os animais jovens são menos susceptíveis à doença clínica que os animais mais velhos. Segundo a aptidão zootécnica 91,44% dos bovinos com aptidão para corte (n= 444) e 88,64% dos bovinos com aptidão para leite (n= 88) foram positivos. Em relação ao sexo, 90,54% das fêmeas (n= 497) e 97, 14% dos machos (n= 35) foram positivos. Não houve diferença significativa entre as aptidões zootécnicas e entre os sexos (P>0,05). A prevalência entre os municípios diferiu significativamente (P<0,0001), demonstrando que a infecção por B. bovis em bovinos não é homogênea na mesorregião. A soroprevalência encontrada caracteriza esta mesorregião como uma área de estabilidade enzoótica para B. bovis. Nesta circunstância epidemiológia faz-se necessário a imunização, apenas, de animais importados de outras áreas para esta mesorregião.
