- Abstract
Nonhuman primates have long been studied and managed in research centers, zoos, and farms, but there is still a lack of information regarding their illnesses. The present study aimed to establish the echocardiographic parameters of normality among primates of the genus Ateles (spider monkey) that are housed at the Zoo of the City of Rio de Janeiro – RIOZOO Foundation. Nine specimens of the same species were used, 5 females and 4 males, that were clinically healthy, young adults, with an approximate captive age of 2 to 3 years, and an average weight of 8.5 kg. The animals were physically restrained with a net and soon after, chemical containment was carried out by means of an association of ketamine hydrochloride at a dose of 8 mg per kg and midazolam at 0.5 mg per kg, intramuscularly. The animals were submitted to chemical restraint to establish the clinical evaluation, blood collection for complete blood count and biochemical measurements, urine collection for urinalysis, chest X-ray in the ventro-dorsal and latero-lateral positions, and electrocardiographic exams, with all the parameters within the normal range, in addition to echocardiographic examination, which became the means by which the study parameters were acquired. During this examination, the following values were evaluated: cardiac output, ejection fraction, final cardiac volume, heart rate, left atrial diameter, aorta diameter, ratio between the diameters of the left atrium and aorta artery, thickness of the interventricular septum in diastole, diameter of the left ventricle in diastole, thickness of the free wall of the left ventricle in diastole, thickness of the interventricular septum in systole, diameter of the left ventricle in systole, thickness of the free wall of the left ventricle in the systole, left ventricular end systolic volume, left ventricular end diastolic volume, septum bending fraction, fraction of curving of the posterior wall, septal separation, and shortening fraction. With the d, Há tempos primatas não humanos são estudados e manejados em centros de pesquisa, zoológicos e criatórios, porém há ainda hoje uma carência de informações sobre suas enfermidades. O presente estudo teve o objetivo de estabelecer os parâmetros ecocardiográficos de normalidade, de primatas do gênero Ateles (macaco-aranha) alojados no Jardim Zoológico da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro – Fundação RIOZOO. Foram utilizados 9 exemplares da espécie, clinicamente saudáveis, sendo 5 fêmeas e 4 machos, adultos jovens, com idade de cativeiro aproximada de 2 a 3 anos, e peso médio de 8.5 kg. Os animais foram contidos fisicamente com puçá de rede e logo após foi realizada a contenção química por meio de uma associação de cloridrato de cetamina na dose de 8 mg por kg e midazolam a 0.5 mg por kg, por via intramuscular. Os indivíduos foram submetidos à contenção química para estabelecimento de avaliação clínica, coleta de sangue para hemograma e dosagens bioquímicas, coleta de urina para urinálise, radiografia de tórax nas posições ventro-dorsal e latero-lateral, exames eletrocardiográficos, estando todos os parâmetros dentro da faixa de normalidade, além do exame ecocardiográfico, que veio a ser o meio pelo qual foram adquiridos os parâmetros do estudo. Durante este exame foram avaliados os seguintes valores: débito cardíaco, fração de ejeção, volume final cardíaco, frequência cardíaca, diâmetro do átrio esquerdo, diâmetro da aorta, relação entre os diâmetros do átrio esquerdo e da artéria aorta, espessura do septo interventricular na diástole, diâmetro do ventrículo esquerdo na diástole, espessura da parede livre do ventrículo esquerdo na diástole, espessura do septo interventricular na sístole, diâmetro do ventrículo esquerdo na sístole, espessura da parede livre do ventrículo esquerdo na sístole, volume sistólico final do ventrículo esquerdo, volume diastólico final do ventrículo esquerdo, fração de encurvamento de septo, fração de encurvamento da parede posterior, separação septal e f

- Abstract
Owning wild species as pets is becoming more and more common. Consequently, experience in caring for them has grown, resulting in the diagnosis of numerous diseases. Among these are cardiovascular disorders, especially in parrots. However, the lack of specificity or the absence of clinical signs of these diseases make it difficult to assess cardiovascular issues during the physical examination of birds. This leads to underdiagnosis of these conditions, with the majority being diagnosed post-mortem. This study reports the cardiovascular findings in post-mortem examinations of individuals of the species Amazona aestiva (true parrot) of Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres do Rio de Janeiro (CETAS-RJ) and is the first record of myxomatous degeneration of the left atrioventricular valve in this species., A criação de espécies silvestres como animais de estimação vem aumentando e ganhando espaço na vida familiar e, como consequência, os cuidados com os mesmos aumentaram, permitindo o diagnóstico de inúmeras enfermidades. Dentre elas, estão as doenças cardiovasculares, em especial nos psitaciformes. Entretanto, a inespecificidade ou mesmo a ausência de sinais clínicos associados à dificuldade da avaliação do sistema cardiovascular no exame físico das aves faz com que tais alterações sejam subdiagnosticadas na rotina clínica, sendo a maioria dos casos diagnosticados post mortem. O presente trabalho relata as alterações cardiovasculares reveladas em exame post mortem em indivíduos da espécie Amazona aestiva (papagaio verdadeiro) provenientes do Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres do Rio de Janeiro (CETAS-RJ) e faz o primeiro registro de degeneração mixomatosa da valva atrioventricular esquerda nesta espécie.

- Abstract
Corticosteroids are drugs widely used in veterinary neurology due to their recognized analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, their use in high doses and long terms may result in undesirable effects and disorders in other systems. This study describes the prevalence of dogs with neurological diseases referred to a veterinary neurology reference service with previous prescription of corticosteroids. For the retrospective study 284 medical records of dogs were evaluated in the period between August 2017 and April 2019. Of these, 194 (68%) patients already had medical care by another veterinary, and, 100 (52%) had previous prescription for the corticosteroid use. After the diagnosis, the dose was suspended in 28% of the cases, adjusted in 41% and maintained in 31%. Dogs with immunosuppressive doses prescription were the most affected, and the medication was adjusted or suspended in 71% and 21% of the cases, respectively. In conclusion, the therapy for neurological diseases is still strongly associated with the indiscriminate use of corticosteroids, without a dose correlation with the desired effect., Os corticosteroides são fármacos muito utilizados na neurologia veterinária devido a sua reconhecida potência analgésica e anti-inflamatória, porém, seu uso em doses altas e a longo prazo pode determinar efeitos indesejáveis e desordens em outros sistemas. Este trabalho descreve a prevalência de cães com afecções neurológicas encaminhados a um serviço de neurologia veterinária com prescrição prévia de corticosteroides. O estudo foi conduzido retrospectivamente a partir do atendimento de cães no período de agosto de 2017 a abril de 2019. Ao todo 284 prontuários foram avaliados. Destes, 194 (68%) pacientes já possuíam atendimento por outro veterinário, sendo que, 100 (52%) apresentavam prescrição para o uso da medicação. Após o diagnóstico, a dose foi suspensa em 28% dos casos, ajustada em 41% e mantida em 31%. Os cães com prescrição prévia de doses imunossupressoras foram os mais alterados, sendo a medicação ajustada ou suspensa em 71% e 21% dos casos, respectivamente. Conclui-se que a terapêutica para afecções neurológicas ainda está fortemente associada à administração indiscriminada de corticosteroides, sem uma correlação da dose com o efeito desejado.

Background: Ocular biometrics is an easy to perform, safe, non-invasive and low-cost exam that provides immediate results with excellent definition. Brachycephalic dogs have a high risk of developing eye problems, and the early appearance is frequent due to factors linked to anatomical conformation. The aim of the present study was to perform eye biometrics in French Bulldog dogs through ultrasound, correlating with body and head size. Materials, Methods & Results: Clinical examination, ophthalmic examination and ocular biometrics were performed using B-mode ultrasonography, using a 10 megahertz frequency transducer in 30 French Bulldog dogs, aged 1-6 years old, male and females from the Br Lord's Staff kennel and the Radiovet - Rio de Janeiro veterinary clinic. A drop of anesthetic eye drops containing 1% tetracaine hydrochloride and 0.1% phenylephrine hydrochloride was instilled and the direct contact technique was performed with the cornea with the help of sterile water-soluble lubricating acoustic gel between the transducer and the examined eye. These measurements were correlated with cephalic measurements (frontal-occipital distance, skull circumference, distance between the zygomatic arches and frontal-nasal distance) and with body measurements (length of the dog from the cranial end of the sternum to the ischial tuberosity and height of the withers from the cranial angle of the scapula to the ground). No chemical restraint was necessary. Dogs were positioned seated or in sternal decubitus, with slight physical restraint. All measurements were performed by the same examiner. There was no significant difference between the parameters of male and female eye biometrics and there was no difference between the measurements of the right and left eyes. The mean value of axial bulb length was 19.51 ± 0.58 mm, for the thickness of the lens, 6.71 ± 0.66 mm, for depth of the anterior chamber, 2.36 ± 0.89 mm and for the depth of the vitreous chamber, 10.44 ± 1.32 mm, showing the same pattern as other studies with brachycephalic dogs. The size of the dog or skull did not interfere with the measurements of eye biometrics. Discussion: The French Bulldog breed was selected for this study due to the scarcity of publications on ocular biometrics in brachycephalic breeds.The knowledge of ocular biometrics is extremely important for the understanding and early diagnosis of some anomalies related to the growth of ocular structures. It is an essential method of exploration and diagnosis of diseases of the eye bulb and orbit, being indicated to evaluate variations in size, shape and position of the eye bulb. The casuistry of these dogs with eye diseases in the ophthalmological clinical routine is large, since they have a high risk of developing eye problems. Ultrasonography is an easy to access and safe, non-invasive exam and the direct corneal contact technique allows clearer images. As there was no significant difference in measurements of intraocular structures between the right and left eyes, the normal eye can be a reliable parameter to establish the prosthetic eye bulb for the injured or enucleated eye. In the present study, there were 21 females and 9 males, which may have generated interference in these values since there was no sex ratio. The measurements of axial length, lenticular thickness, depth of the anterior chamber and the vitreous chamber had values similar to other studies with brachycephalic dogs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PASSERIFORMES ,COMPUTER software - Abstract
Nematódeos filarídeos da família Onchocercidae são capazes de parasitar tecidos e cavidades de aves, dentre eles o trinca-ferro (Saltator similis) da ordem Passeriformes. A transmissão ocorre a partir da microfilária liberada através da picada do hospedeiro intermediário, como insetos e outros artrópodes hematófagos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar análises morfológica e morfométrica de microfilárias em trinca-ferro, proveniente de apreensão e encaminhado à um Centro de Triagem de Animas Silvestres (CETAS). Foi confeccionado esfregaço sanguíneo de um trinca-ferro intensamente parasitado, onde foram observadas 605 microfilárias e, posteriormente, efetuadas imagens de 30 espécimes utilizando o microscópio OlympusBX51® e software CellSens Standard. O comprimento total do corpo foi, em média, de 158,89µm. A extremidade anterior (EA) de todos os espécimes apresentaram-se arredondadas com espaço cefálico curto (2,67µm de largura e 3,22µm de comprimento). O anel nervoso (AN) foi indicado a partir de um breve rompimento no sistema celular proximal à EA, e a distância até a EA foi, em média, de 34,09µm. O poro excretor (PE) foi identificado como uma abertura lateral curta e pálida, na região medial do corpo, e a distância média até a EA foi de 50,36µm. O poro anal foi semelhante ao PE, porém localizado próximo a extremidade posterior (EP), sendo a distância média até a EP de 27,03µm. A base da cauda foi delimitada no início do afunilamento do corpo, terminando pontiaguda, e medindo, em média, 18,91µm de comprimento e 2,32µm de largura. Os aspectos morfológicos apresentaram-se homogêneos tanto em coloração quanto em formato. A microscopia é uma técnica simples, de baixo custo e amplamente disponível na rotina, auxiliando no diagnóstico das microfilárias em aves. É possível que a identificação seja feita por características morfológicas e morfométricas através do esfregaço sanguíneo, porém com este método, é possível identificar apenas a nível de gênero devido a semelhança na morfologia das microfilárias. Apesar dos métodos moleculares permitirem a identificação de espécies de filarídeos aviários, apenas alguns possuem a caracterização molecular disponível. Assim, a associação de métodos diagnósticos é recomendada para que haja maior sensibilidade e especificidade a fim de identificar o filarídeo aviário na ave hospedeira. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ,GASTROINTESTINAL system ,PUBLIC health ,VETERINARY medicine - Abstract
Background: Cryptosporidium is an important protozoan in public health and veterinary medicine that often causes diarrhea in an array of hosts in developed/developing countries. Infection of the gastrointestinal system is the most common, but the respiratory system and other sites can also be affected, especially in birds and immunocompromised individuals. Transmission occurs through ingestion or inhalation of oocysts. The number of wild animals, including those in the class of birds, infected with this parasite has grown in recent years. This study aimed to report parasitism by Cryptosporidium spp. in captive-raised birds of family Psittacidae at the Rio City Zoo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Materials, Methods & Results: Thirty-three pools of fecal samples of the species Amazona aestiva, Amazona amazonica, Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, Ara auricollis, Ara canga, Ara glaucogularis, Ara macao, Ara manilapa, Ara maracana, Ara rubrogenys, Aratinga erythrogenys, Aratinga cactorum, Aratinga auerea, Aratinga mitrata, Aratinga auricapilla, Aratinga jandaia, Aratinga wagleri, Aratinga leucophthalmus, Brotogeris acuticaudata, Cynoliseus patagonus, Caracopsis vasa, Diopsittaca nobilis, Graydidascalus brachyurus, Muopsitta monachus, Nangayus nenday, Pionites melancephala, Pionites leucogaster, Pionus menstruus, Pionus chalcopteus, Pionus maxiliani, Pyrrhura perlata, Pyrrhura leucotis, and Triclharia malachitacea, kept in separate enclosures, were analyzed using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detection of parasitic antigens. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) was conducted in order to identify the species Cryptosporidium in the positive samples targeting the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU rRNA), followed by sequencing and analysis of the DNA amplicons. Cryptosporidium spp. antigen was detected in three (9%) of the thirtythree pools assessed, corresponding to the following species of family Psittacidae: Jandaya parakeet (Aratinga jandaya), Red-shouldered macaw (Diopsittaca nobilis), and Blue-headed parrot (Pionus menstruus). Positivity of the three samples was confirmed by qPCR analysis, but it was not possible to identify the species of Cryptosporidium by this technique. Discussion: Zoonotic diseases, such as cryptosporidiosis, have been reported in wild and captive-bred animals worldwide. Several species of the class of birds are parasitized by Cryptosporidium spp. Infection in order Psittaciformes has been described in some species raised in captivity in Brazil; however, no reports of Cryptosporidium spp. infecting the following species of order Psittaciformes: Jandaya parakeet (Aratinga jandaia), Red-breasted macaw (Diopsittaca nobilis), and Blue-headed parrot (Pionus menstrus), were found in the specific scientific literature. The present study detected infection by Cryptosporidium spp. in three species of order Psittaciformes using ELISA and confirmed the positivity of the samples by qPCR, but the species of Cryptosporidium could not be identified. These infected birds should be carefully investigated, with identification of the species and analysis of their zoonotic potential, because they can be sources of environmental contamination and infection for the caregivers, visitors, and other animals of the Zoo. This is the first report of parasitism by Cryptosporidium spp. in these species of family Psittacidae in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
