Modificações na técnica de mini-FLOTAC para amostras de fezes bovinas e ovinas para facilitar a rotina de campo
Haemoparasites are one of the most important groups of bird parasites, with emphasis on the genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon and Trypanosoma. Zoos sustain different wild animals and are valuable tools for the education and conservation of species. The conditions of captive animals differ from wild animals, as zoos have sufficient availability of food throughout the year, protection against predators and veterinary care for animals. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of haemoparasites in captive birds of the Sabiá Municipal Park Zoo, municipality of Uberlândia, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Blood samples were collected from the alveolar vein puncture to make blood swabs. This material was fixed with methanol, stained by the GIEMSA technique and examined under optical microscope. A total of 46 birds (19 species) were analyzed and only three individuals (6.52%) were positive for Plasmodium sp. The hosts were Pavo cristatus and Tyto furcata. This low positivity was expected, since haemoparasites do not generally present high infection rates among birds. Even if a parasite is not pathogenic for a given species, these individuals are important reservoirs for the infection of more vulnerable species. Differences in the prevalence and intensity of infection of these hosts depend on the virulence of the parasite, ability of the host to respond to such infections and vector availability. This low prevalence rate suggests a good health status of the captive birds in the study area.

O Ensino Médio é uma fase em que os estudantes lidam com as expectativas sobre o futuro e ingresso ao Ensino Superior. Assim, atividades extensionistas sobre o tema são importantes para auxiliá-los na escolha profissional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a realização da Feira de Ciências Agrárias de Monte Carmelo e apresentar seu impacto diante dos estudantes participantes. A Feira foi um evento de extensão que trouxe os estudantes do Ensino Médio para a universidade e promoveu palestras com temas relacionados à Educação Superior e aos cursos de Agronomia e Engenharia Florestal, visitas aos laboratórios e atividades práticas. Ao final do evento, os participantes responderam um questionário sobre seu aprendizado e o quanto a Feira foi capaz de ajudá-los na escolha profissional. Os resultados mostraram que 43,5% dos estudantes participaram da Feira porque queriam adquirir conhecimentos sobre Ciências Agrárias, pois pretendiam seguir uma carreira desta área de conhecimento. Além disso, 58% dos alunos disseram que nunca participaram de evento semelhante devido à falta de oferta desse tipo de atividade. Além disso, 93% dos participantes consideraram que a Feira os ajudou na decisão da escolha profissional. Por fim, cerca de 70% deles se interessaram em fazer Agronomia, enquanto 17% afirmaram que fariam Engenharia Florestal. A realização de atividades extensionistas como esta proporciona uma aproximação entre a universidade e a comunidade escolar, permitindo que as instituições divulguem conhecimento acadêmico e busquem despertar nos jovens a vontade de ingressar no Ensino Superior. Palavras-chave: Atividade Extensionista, Relação Instituição-Comunidade, Escolha Profissional Monte Carmelo Agrarian Sciences Fair: experience report on a university extension project with high school students Abstract: High School is a period in which students deal with their expectations concerning the future, and the university entrance. Thus, extension activities on the subject are important for their career selection process. This paper aimed at reporting Monte Carmelo Agricultural Sciences Fair and its impact on the participants. The Fair was an extension event that brought high school students to the university and promoted lectures on themes related to Higher Education, Agronomy and Forest Engineering courses, laboratory tours and practical activities. At the end of the event, the participants answered a questionnaire on what they had learned, and how helpful the Fair was in their career selection process. According to the results, 43.5% of the students took part in the event in order to acquire knowledge on Agrarian Sciences, due to their future plans to pursue this career. In addition, 58% of the students claimed they had never participated in a similar event due to the lack of offer of this type of activity. Moreover, 93% of the participants claimed that the Fair was helpful in the career selection process. Finally, approximately 70% of them developed an interest in studying Agronomy, while 17% said they would study Forest Engineering. The fulfillment of such activities brings the University and the school community together, allowing the institutions to disseminate academic knowledge, and to attempt to arouse in the youngsters the desire to pursue Higher Education.
