Malaria, visceral leishmaniasis and yellow fever, today among some of the main vector diseases are known as control; the risk of diseases, its zoonotic and has been affected by forest destruction, risk characteristics, which non-biologically occupy Goiás, mostly occupy the state of Goiás. Thus, we seek to understand this relationship, through data available on official platforms. Where the study revealed that the largest municipality of cases of elaborated diseases is in the municipality of Goiânia for three cases of elaborated diseases when considered in the intermediate region, it is not the highest prevalence of the same. There is a greater concentration of diseases in the central and northern regions of the state. When confronted with the different land uses after 1985, savanna cases for both malaria and malaria increased the urban encounter to reduce land and increase structure. Already confronting the period of land use 2007, it did not occur that the cases of malaria in the municipalities that are necessary for the use and for leishmaniasis in the largest post-use regions for the urban area. It demonstrates, therefore, that the State is turning to activities that end up devastating more and more the cerrado, which probably culminates in vector migrations to an area and peri-urban that has increasingly presented territorial and population growth, or that is, diseases that were mostly rural, have been urbanizing in the face of anthropization of the cerrado.

Background:The giant anteater is a Xenarthra of the Myrmecophagidae family. It is classified in Brazil as vulnerable specie, however, in Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul it is probably extinct. In an attempt to contribute to the preservation of the species, many injured animals are referred for treatment and rehabilitation, but the lack of information about morphology may hinder a more efficient clinical-surgical approach. The knowledge on the topography, dimensions and morphology of lymph nodes of a given species is essential for medical practice. The aim of this study was to identify and describe the general morphology of the superficial lymph nodes of Myrmecophaga tridactyla. Materials, Methods & Results: Ten cadavers of adult Myrmecophaga tridactyla were used in this study. They were fixed and preserved with 10% formaldehyde solution and dissected throughout their length to locate their superficial lymph nodes. Lymph nodes of each center were removed for mesoscopic analysis. Measurements of width, length and thickness were obtained by a digital caliper. The superficial lymph nodes observed in the head were the mandibular and the intermandibular, while in the neck were identified superficial cervical and deep cervical lymph nodes. In the thoracic limbs, the axillary and the axillary accessory lymph nodes were present. In the pelvic limbs just one lymph node, the femoral, was observed, located in the thick subcutaneous fascia of the medial surface of the thigh. The main anatomical differences found in the lymph nodes of M. tridactyla are the absence of parotid, popliteal and subiliac lymph nodes and the presence of intermandibular lymph nodes and the developed femoral lymph nodes, which are unique in the pelvic limbs of this species. Moreover, some superficial lymph nodes were formed by several small lymph nodes, forming clusters, as observed in the proper and accessory axillary and femoral lymph nodes. Discussion: The lymph nodes of the head, neck and forelimbs of the M. tridactyla followed the pattern observed in domestic animals and rats, while the morphological pattern of the lymph nodes of the head and the hindlimb differed from that described in domestic animals. Different from the dogs and ruminants where a range of superficial lymph nodes can be normally palpated, such as the mandibular; retropharyngeal; superficial cervical; subiliac; popliteal; mammary and superficial inguinal, only the femoral lymph nodes are palpable in M. tridactyla. The main reasons for this are the greater thickness of the skin and the absence of certain classic lymphocytes in the anteater. The peculiar anatomical features of the head and neck of M. tridactyla may have induced changes in the lymph centers of these regions when compared to the morphologic pattern of the terrestrial mammals in general. The lymph drainage of the neck, forelimbs and trunk wall was considered to be similar to that of dog, since there is equivalence of lymph nodes between these two species. The lymphatic afferents of the abdominal wall, gluteal reg...

Background: Liposarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of lipoblasts with low incidence in dogs, representing 1.7% of neoplasms diagnosed in the spleen. In veterinary medicine, this neoplasm is classified morphologically into the myxoid, well-differentiated, undifferentiated and pleomorphic subtypes, the latter being one of the most aggressive forms, mainly in cavity organs. This study reports a case of primary splenic pleomorphic liposarcoma in a female dog, addressing anatomopathological and immunohistochemical aspects.Case: A 14-year-old, 35 kg female mongrel canine with a history of absence of defecation, progressive weight loss, difficulty walking, sensitivity to abdominal palpation, prostration, pale mucous membranes, tachypnea and abdominal distention. The condition evolved to death and, on necroscopy, there was an increase in splenic volume with neoformation of whitish and reddish color, measuring 32 × 27 cm in its largest axes and weighing 8.9 kg. The neoformation exhibited areas of firm and soft consistency, and sectioning revealed the existence of focal areas of extensive necrosis and cavity collections of different diameters that allowed the flow of liquid serous contents with a brownish red color. Microscopy showed cells of neoplastic morphology infiltrating the splenic parenchyma, mostly with slightly acidophilic cytoplasm and few intracytoplasmic lipid vacuoles, which varied in size and distribution. The nuclei of the cells were large, eccentric and irregular, with round to oval morphology, grossly lacy chromatin and single or multiple evident nucleoli. These cells exhibited marked anisocytosis, anisokaryosis and pleomorphism, with more than one mitotic figure per high magnification field visible. Moderately inflammatory infiltrate, predominantly lymphocytic, permeated the neoplastic cells, and marked depletion of lymphoid follicles and atrophy of the red pulp were found in the remaining splenic parenchyma. Immunohistochemical tests revealed marked and discrete immunostaining for anti-vimentin and anti-S100 antibodies, respectively. No staining was observed for anti-pan cytokeratin, anti-desmin, anti-alpha smooth muscle actin or anti-CD20 antibodies. Based on anatomopathological and immunohistochemical aspects, it was concluded to be a splenic pleomorphic liposarcoma of primary origin.Discussion: the spleen is not a common anatomical site for the development of liposarcoma, a neoplasm whose origin remains unclear. Similar to what occurs in humans, liposarcoma is believed to develop from the adipose tissue of the splenic hilum. Thus, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of invasive abdominal tumors. For the identification and classification of liposarcoma as a pleomorphic subtype, we considered mainly histological findings such as marked cell atypia and intracytoplasmic lipid vacuoles, which may or may not be present in neoplastic cells. Immunohistochemical examination favored the diagnosis of liposarcoma, regardless of the subtype, due to the marked immunostaining for the anti-vimentin antibody, unlike immunostaining for the anti-S100 antibody, for which it was variable. This fact is related to adipocyte differentiation, where lower amounts of intracytoplasmic lipids translate into lower immunostaining intensity for anti-S100. Histological and immunostaining aspects should be regarded with caution in the diagnosis of pleomorphic liposarcoma, as it is a distinct neoplastic entity, with a complex karyotype and without correlation with the other subtypes.
