“…It has been reported that 25% of patients co-infected with HIV developed severe encephalitis (Tarekegn, et al, 2020). This coccidia reduces the quality of life of infected individuals (Flegr & Horacek, 2017) causing, according to some studies, behavioral changes such as schizophrenia, alzheimer and parkinson's diseases attention deficit, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Bichuette, et al, 2017;El Mouhawess, et al, 2020).…”

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis of great importance for public health since it is referenced as causing changes in human fetuses and animals. This research aims at comparing the knowledge of 165 basic education professionals before and after a blended learning online course (180-hour) on toxoplasmosis. A health education course on major urban zoonoses was offered once a year between 2009 and 2013 on the Virtual Learning Environment TelEduc platform. An open question questionnaire on Toxoplasmosis was applied before and after the specific module, and the responses were categorized according to the literature review theme. The initial and final evaluations addressed issues such as toxoplasmosis etiologic agent, clinical signs in animals and humans, and form of transmission and prevention. Toxoplasmosis general knowledge increased significantly (p<0.0001) after the course. The results showed that the continuing education of teachers through Distance Learning and Blended Learning Course contributed to the acquisition of knowledge.

RESUMOEm solos argilosos, nas áreas irrigadas e cultivadas com semeadura direta o problema da compactação subsuperficial associada às preocupações com o manejo adequado da adubação nitrogenada, são desafios que necessitam de soluções. Desse modo, propôs-se o estudo com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento do arroz de terras altas em semeadura direta sob os efeitos de diferentes tipos de rompimento do solo e doses de N. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos casualizados com 12 tratamentos constituídos pela combinação de dois mecanismos de rompimento do solo (disco duplo e escarificador) e doses de nitrogênio (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 e 125 kg ha -1 ) em cobertura no sistema de semeadura direta e 4 repetições. Foram avaliados: número de panículas.m -2 , número de espiguetas granadas e chochas, massa de 100 grãos, produtividade de grãos. De acordo com os resultados obtidos pode-se concluir que houve influência positiva nos diferentes mecanismos e doses de N utilizados. O aumento nas doses de N em cobertura propiciou, em média, um acréscimo de 11,0 % na produtividade do arroz, na dose de 75 kg ha -1 comparado com a testemunha sem N. Palavras-chave:Oryza sativa L., escarificador, semeadura direta.

The concept of animal welfare has been widely studied and discussed in recent years. This is a science, which seeks an improvement in the quality of life of animals, ensuring that they have the right to their 5 basic freedoms respected. Animal welfare practices seek to have animals express their natural behavior, even when they are in captivity, ensuring their physical and psychological health. Such techniques help in the adaptation of the animal to the environment, especially in captive animals and in breeding. There is a direct relationship between the implementation of animal welfare practices and the ability of them to adapt and have a good quality of life in the environment in which it was inserted. The growing increase in ornamental bird breeding and as pets has revealed the need to study and ensure welfare practices in the rearing of these animals. One of the techniques used to ensure animal welfare is the implementation of different types of environmental enrichments. Environmental enrichment seeks through different techniques and materials to provide more attractive and stimulating environments to animals, allowing interaction between animals and animal-environment, enabling them to enjoy and explore the environment, optimizing the available spaces, providing opportunities for the development of behaviors and natural abilities of the species, reducing the stress caused by space limitation and absence of stimuli. The objective of this work was to relate animal welfare in the implementation of environmental enrichment in two breeding stake of geese and mallards, one for ornamental and domestic purposes, birds being reared as pets. In particular describe the creation, report the implementation of three types of environmental enrichment: food, physical and social, and response of birds after the implementation of this technique of animal welfare promotion. The results of the implementation of food, physical and social environmental enrichment, to improve the well-being of birds, were verified in both breedings, obtaining a positive result. There was an improvement in the behavior of the animals, which is closer to the natural in both groups, attesting to improvement in quality of life and providing physical and psychological well-being to birds.
