Abstract

Abstract Background This study evaluated the exposure of dogs to three different Ehrlichia spp. in the south and central regions of the United States where vector-borne disease prevalence has been previously difficult to ascertain, particularly beyond the metropolitan areas. Methods Dog blood samples (n = 8,662) were submitted from 14 veterinary colleges, 6 private veterinary practices and 4 diagnostic laboratories across this region. Samples were tested for E. canis, E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii specific antibodies using peptide microtiter ELISAs. Results Overall, E. canis, E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii seroprevalence was 0.8%, 2.8%, and 5.1%, respectively. The highest E. canis seroprevalence (2.3%) was found in a region encompassing Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. E. chaffeensis seroreactivity was 6.6% in the central region (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma) and 4.6% in the southeast region (Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia). Seroreactivity to E. ewingii was also highest in the central region (14.6%) followed by the southeast region (5.9%). The geospatial pattern derived from E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii seropositive samples was similar to previous reports based on E. chaffeensis seroreactivity in white-tailed deer and the distribution of human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) cases reported by the CDC. Conclusions The results of this study provide the first large scale regional documentation of exposure to E. canis, E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii in pet dogs, highlighting regional differences in seroprevalence and providing the basis for heightened awareness of these emerging vector-borne pathogens by veterinarians and public health agencies.

14. Variation of the physical-chemical parameters of diverse water bodies for study of diatom distribution and composition for forensic investigations

Author

Portugal, M., Couto, C., Madureira-Carvalho, A., and Ribeiro, C.

Abstract

Background: Diatoms are microalgae of fundamental ecological role in aquatic ecosystems; however, these microorganisms have been shown to provide valuable information for forensic investigations. Due to the characteristic diatom distribution in a water body, the presence of diatoms in objects may allow to correlate to a specific aquatic system and/or a suspect. Additionally, in cases of suspicious of death by drowning, the presence of diatoms in some organs and/or bones may give important information to support confirmation [1-3]. The occurrence of diatoms, concerning diversity and frequency in a water body, depends on temporal and physical-chemical water parameters [3,4]. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the seasonal and spatial variation of the physical-chemical parameters of different water for further correlation with the presence and geo-temporal variation of diatom composition. Methods: Six sampling points were selected in different regions of the Porto District: two wells (Póvoa de Varzim and Paredes); two on the Asprela streams; two in the natural reserve area of the Ave River. Samples were collected seasonally (Summer, Autumn and Winter) and temperature, conductivity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate were measured. Water samples aliquots were separated for further analysis for diatom composition. Results: The results showed a seasonal and spatial variation of physical-chemical water parameters. High levels of turbidity were found in autumn, in all water bodies and the sampling point located in natural reserve showed the highest value (589.6 NTU), and the highest content of nutrient which may affect diatom composition. Preliminary studies showed a low occurrence of diatom in well water samples. Conclusions: These results suggest that, for these water bodies, the presence of suspended diatom may be low which may difficult the use of these organisms for forensic investigation. Nevertheless, further experiments are ongoing to correlate physical-chemical parameters with composition of other water bodies., Scientific Letters, Vol. 1 No. Sup 1 (2023)

15. MDA effects on morphophysiology and reproduction of Daphnia magna – preliminary data

Author

Morão, A. M., Carvalho, A. R., Couto, C., Carrola, J. S., Costa, P., Castro, B., Tiritan, M. E., and Ribeiro, C.

Abstract

Background: Psychoactive substances and their metabolites are considered emergent contaminants, raising environmental concerns due to the continuous input into aquatic ecosystems [1]. MDA (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) is a pharmacologically active substance that represents the major metabolite of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA); MDA may be present in MDMA preparations or occur as an illegal psychoactive substance [2]. Considering the possible implementation of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy along with the increased recreational interest in MDA, the presence of MDA in aquatic ecosystems is expected to increase as well as its effects on non-target organisms, including invertebrates [1,3]. Since the ecotoxicological impact of MDA remains unknown, studying its toxic effects on an environmentally relevant organism is most important. Objective: This work aimed to assess the effects of possible MDA-induced toxicity on Daphnia magna through the evaluation of morphophysiological and reproductive endpoints. Methods: Neonates (, Scientific Letters, Vol. 1 No. Sup 1 (2023)

Abstract

O aço inoxidável possui várias características desejáveis num material estrutural. Embora inicialmente mais caras do que em aço carbono convencional, as estruturas em aço inoxidável podem ser competitivas. Os aços inoxidáveis austeníticos são geralmente os mais utilizados para aplicações estruturais, mas recentemente tem sido demonstrado algum interesse no uso de aços ferríticos e austeníticos-ferríticos (Duplex), devido a vantagens específicas, tais como a muito boa resistência ao desgaste e à corrosão dos duplex e a menor percentagem de níquel nos ferríticos, o que reduz seu preço. Relativamente à resistência estrutural ao fogo, para se ter uma boa compreensão da resistência global dos elementos estruturais é importante analisar a resistência da secção transversal, que é diretamente afetada pela ocorrência de instabilidades locais nas placas esbeltas que compõe a secção. Assim, este trabalho apresenta um estudo numérico sobre o comportamento de placas isoladas a temperaturas elevadas, correspondendo à alma (elemento interno) e banzos (elementos salientes) de secções I, comparando as capacidades de suporte de carga últimas obtidas numericamente com as obtidas através de fórmulas de cálculo (como as propostas pelo método das larguras efetivas do Eurocódigo 3). São analisados, com o programa de elementos finitos SAFIR, elementos salientes sujeitos à compressão e elementos internos sujeitos à compressão ou à flexão. Dado que as diferentes classes de aço inoxidável dos grupos austenítico, ferrítico e duplex exibem diferentes reduções da resistência mecânica a temperaturas elevadas, o foco deste estudo será a influência da classe de aço inoxidável nas previsões da resistência última de placas esbeltas. published
