Abroca-da-cana, Diatraea saccharalis, é considerada a principal praga da cana-de-açúcar, causando prejuízos de maneira direta e indireta. Entre os danos diretos, devido à abertura de galerias no interior do colmo da planta pela lagarta, podemos citar a redução da translocação de seiva e a quebra e perda de peso de colmos.

Additionally, this study evaluated the effect of different structures of the relationship matrix (A and H) on the estimation of genetic parameters and on the prediction accuracy of breeding values. There were 13,524 animals for visual scores of conformation (CS), finishing precocity (FP), and muscling (MS) and 1,753, 1,747, and 1,564 for LM area (LMA), backfat thickness (BF), and HCW, respectively. Of these, 1,566 animals were genotyped using a high-density panel containing 777,962 SNP. Six analyses were performed using multitrait animal models, each including the 3 visual scores and 1 carcass trait. For the visual scores, the model included direct additive genetic and residual random effects and the fixed effects of contemporary group (defined by year of birth, management group at yearling, and farm) and the linear effect of age of animal at yearling. The same model was used for the carcass traits, replacing the effect of age of animal at yearling with the linear effect of age of animal at slaughter. The variance and covariance components were estimated by the REML method in analyses using the numerator relationship matrix (A) or combining the genomic and the numerator relationship matrices (H). The heritability estimates for the visual scores obtained with the 2 methods were similar and of moderate magnitude (0.23-0.34), indicating that these traits should response to direct selection. The heritabilities for LMA, BF, and HCW were 0.13, 0.07, and 0.17, respectively, using matrix A and 0.29, 0.16, and 0.23, respectively, using matrix H. The genetic correlations between the visual scores and carcass traits were positive, and higher correlations were generally obtained when matrix H was used. Considering the difficulties and cost of measuring carcass traits postmortem, visual scores of CS, FP, and MS could be used as selection criteria to improve HCW, BF, and LMA. The use of genomic information permitted the detection of greater additive genetic variability for LMA and BF. For HCW, the high magnitude of the genetic correlations with visual scores was probably sufficient to recover genetic variability. The methods provided similar breeding value accuracies, especially for the visual scores.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi padronizar um protocolo de quantificação de Babesia bovis que possibilitasse comparar o nível de infecção dos animais de diferentes grupos genéticos e faixas etárias. Foram utilizadas amostras de sangue colhidas de 150 bovinos, criados em regiões endêmicas para as babesioses. Após a extração do DNA, foram realizadas reações de RT-PCR para todos os indivíduos. A curva padrão foi elaborada a partir da purificação e quantificação dos produtos de PCR. Foram observadas diferenças significativas (P
