Vegetation cover and biodiversity reduce parasite infection in wild hosts across ecological levels and scales

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2023, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Land use changes and biodiversity loss critically disrupts ecosystem functioning and are major drivers of infectious disease outbreaks. Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is a multi‐host parasite whose epidemiology has changed due to the expansion of anthropogenic activities over natural areas.

Socioenvironmental Factors Influencing Distribution and Intensity of Soil‐Transmitted Helminthiasis in the Brazilian Amazon: Challenges for the 2030 Agenda

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Soil‐transmitted helminthiasis (STHs) are poverty‐related diseases with high prevalence rates in developing countries. The present study aims to describe the epidemiological scenario of STHs in an urban population in the Brazilian Amazon. A cross‐sectional survey (n = 349 children aged 1–15 years) was carried out to obtain faecal samples and ...

Assessment of the experimental infection by Echinostoma paraensei (Lie & Basch, 1967) (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) in two Biomphalaria tenagophila (D’Orbigny, 1835) (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) isolates resistant and susceptible to Schistosoma mansoni (Sambon, 1907) (Trematoda: Schistosomatidae)

open access: yesBiotemas, 2017
Different isolates of Biomphalaria tenagophila show a large spectrum of compatibility to the trematode Schistosoma mansoni, ranging from entirely refractory to highly susceptible. The aim of this study was to verify the pattern of compatibility of two B.

Rio Doce Acoustic Surveys of Fish Biomass and Aquatic Habitat

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 615-621, September 2020., 2020
ABSTRACT Following the failure of the Fundão mine tailings dam in Brazil, approximately 32 million cubic meters of Fe ore tailings were released into the downstream riverine system. The postevent monitoring surveys implemented the use of noninvasive acoustic methods to improve the understanding of the fish biomass distribution patterns and aquatic ...

Degradation of the Organochlorinated Herbicide Diuron by Rainforest Basidiomycetes

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The main organochlorinated compounds used on agricultural crops are often recalcitrant, affecting nontarget organisms and contaminating rivers or groundwater. Diuron (N‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)‐N ′,N ′‐dimethylurea) is a chlorinated herbicide widely used in sugarcane plantations.

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile and Biofilm Production of Microorganisms Isolated from Oropharynx of Rupornis magnirostris (Gmelin, 1788) and Caracara plancus (Miller, 1777)

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The aim of this preliminary study was to identify microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance profile and biofilm producers in oropharynx of Rupornis magnirostris and Caracara plancus. Six R. magnirostris and six C. plancus maintained in Triage Center for Wild Animals (CETAS) facilities were studied.

Inorganic carbon shortage may limit the development of submersed macrophytes in habitats of the Paraná River basin Baixas concentrações de carbono inorgânico podem limitar o desenvolvimento de macrófitas submersas em habitats do alto rio Paraná

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2011
AIM: In this investigation we carried out an experiment to assess whether the growth of Egeria najas and E. densa (two rooted submersed Hydrocharitacea, native to South America) are limited by inorganic carbon or not; METHODS: We measured the early plant
