“…High rates of PIV infection among these populations support incomplete immunization with infections and high rates of reinfection throughout life (9). Serologic studies have demonstrated common PIV exposure among wild hooved species in Alaska (67%) (28), the central Italian Alps (17%) (29), Argentina (43%) (30), Alberta (49%) (31), South Africa (25%) (32), and Quebec (82%-84%) (33).…”

“…Esses resultados são similares aos de GIRIO et al (2004) obtidos em amostras de veados-campeiros em estado feral da região de Nhecolândia, MS, e diferem dos encontrados, nos estados de Goiás e Mato Grosso do Sul, por MATHIAS et al (1999), título máximo de 400, e por UHART et al (2003) em amostras de veadoscampeiros de vida livre oriundas, respectivamente, dos estados de Goiás e Mato Grosso do Sul e da região dos Campos del Tuyú na Argentina, entre os anos de 1995 e 1998. Esses títulos sorológicos podem ser interpretados como uma infecção passageira ou uma imunidade de memória ou ainda um estágio inicial da leptospirose (FAINE, 1999).…”

RESUMOObjetivou-se verificar a ocorrência de anticorpos contra Leptospira e avaliar espacialmente a dispersão de cervos-dopantanal (Blastocerus dichotomus) de vida livre, que fossem reagentes, na bacia do Rio Paraná, estados de São Paulo e Mato Grosso do Sul. Foram examinadas, por meio do teste de soroaglutinação microscópica (SAM), 217 amostras de soro sanguíneo (77 machos e 140 fêmeas) de cervos-do-pantanal capturados em seis localidades na bacia do rio Paraná, entre os estados de São Paulo e Mato Grosso do Sul. Desse total, 130 (59,91%) amostras foram reagentes contra 12 diferentes sorovariedades de leptospiras patogênicas e 87 (40,09%) foram não reagentes. As sorovariedades mais encontradas foram: Autumnalis (20,28% dos animais examinados), Castellonis (13,36%) e Hardjo (11,98%). Os títulos sorológicos obtidos nas amostras reagentes variaram de 100 a 800. Com relação ao sexo, 52 (67,5%) machos e 78 (55,7%) fêmeas foram reagentes, não sendo observada diferença estatisticamente significativa (P>0,05). A comparação entre os animais jovens e adultos sororreagentes revelou que houve diferença significativa (P<0,01) com relação à idade; 65,1% dos adultos e 34,9% dos jovens foram reagentes. Quanto ao local de captura, observou-se que as frequências de reagentes diferiram significativamente. A dispersão espacial, obtida por imagens de satélite aliadas às informações do geoposicionamento de cada cervo-do-pantanal capturado, mostrou distribuição de cervos-do-pantanal reagentes na área estudada.

SUMMARYThe objective was to verify the occurrence of antibodies to Leptospira and to evaluate the spatial dispersion of free living mash deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) reactors, in the basin of Paraná River, states of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul. Through the microscopic agglutination test, we examined 217 serum samples (77 males and 140 females) of mash deer caught in six locations in the Paraná river basin between the states of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul. From this total, 130 (59.91%) samples reacted to 12 different serovars of pathogenic Leptospira, and 87 (40.09%) did not react. The more prevalent serovars found were Autumnalis (20.28% of the samples examined), Castellonis (13,36%) and Hardjo (11,98%). The serologic titers obtained in the reactive samples ranged from 100 to 800. Regarding the gender, 52 (67.5%) of the males and 78 (55.7%) of the females were reactors. There was no statistically significant difference between genders (P>0.05). The comparison between the frequency of reactors among adult and among young animals revealed a significant difference (P<0.01); 65.1% of the adult and 34.9% of the young animals were reactors. A significant difference was also observed among the local where animals were captured. The spatial dispersion, obtained by satellite images and georeferenced information of each mash deer captured, showed the distribution of mash deer reactors on the area studied.

“…Studies on wild animals often use manual methods with the hemocytomer (Almosny and Santos, 2001). Other examples of RBC counts for different species include Chital deer (Chapple et al, 1991), Brown mink (Weiss et al, 1994), Coatis (Silva et al, 1999), Pampas deer (Uhart et al, 2003), Pallas' cats (Brown et al, 2005), Capybaras (Madella et al, 2006) (Inoue et al, 2012), Moose (Rostal et al, 2012), Norwegian reindeer (Miller et al, 2013), Giant anteaters (Sanches et al, 2013) Black howler monkey (Santos et al, 2013). It is also possible to find studies on humans and domestic animals, that use the hemocitometer, e.g.…”

RBC count plays an important role in animal diagnosis. Despite the many technologies available in different automated hematology analyzers, when it comes to the blood of wild animals it is still difficult to find an easy and affordable solution for multiple species. This study aims to evaluate the proposed automatic red blood cell counter. Blood samples (1 ocelot -Leopardus pardalis, 1 monkey -Cebus apella, 1 coati -Nasua nasua, 62 dogs -Canis familiaris, and 5 horses -Equus caballus) were analyzed using three methods: 1-manual count, 2-automatic count by image, and 3-semi-automatic count by image; blood from dogs and horses were also analyzed by a fourth method: 4-automatic count by impedance. The counts in methods 2 and 3 were produced by the proposed red blood cell counter. Results were compared using Pearson's correlation and plots with different methods as the criterion standard. RBC counts in methods 1, 2, and 3 correlated very well with those in the method 4 (r ≥ 0.94). RBC counts produced by method 2 were highly correlated with method 3 (r = 0.998). The results indicate that the proposed method can be used as an automatic or semi-automatic counting method in clinics that are currently using the manual method for RBC assessment.
