Snakes represent a wide and diverse group of species and have anatomical particularities, such as the renal sexual segment (RSS), a structure located in the kidneys and formed from the hypertrophy of the urinary ducts and nephrons. This study aims at describing the histological aspects of the RSS of Boa constrictor, Epicrates cenchria and Corallus hortulanus, all of which are Brazilian snake species from the Boidae family. The reproductive system and kidneys of five male specimens of E. cenchria, three male specimens of C. hortulanus and two male specimens of B. constrictor were obtained. Tissue samples were processed histologically and different stains used (Toluidine Blue, Alcian Blue and Periodic Acid Schiff). The histological evaluation of the RSS of E. cenchria, C. hortulanus and B. constrictor shows that the RSS in these species varies when comparing individuals in the reproductive period with those which are not. It also allows for the observation of the segment's secretory activity in animals in the reproductive stage (mature sperm in the lumen of the seminiferous tubules) as well as in those which are not. Finally, the histological evaluation also reveals the variation of the secretion product in individuals in the reproductive period, in those which are not, and also among individuals within the same reproductive stage.

Between December 2016 and April 2017, a spate of abortions occurred in a closed dairy herd from the central eastern region of Paraná, Brazil, in which 75 cows aborted. To identify its cause, organ fragments were collected from an aborted fetus for histopathology, and the blood samples from a stillborn, 4 aborted fetuses, and 9 farm dogs for indirect fluorescent antibody technique (IFAT). These tests found multifocal non-suppurative encephalitis, periportal hepatitis, and multifocal lymphoplasmacytic myocarditis, and detected anti-Neospora antibodies in all aborted fetuses, and in 5 of the 9 dogs. DNA of Neospora caninum was detected in the brain tissue of an aborted fetus. Blood samples of 340 cows and 146 heifers showed 33.5% and 30.8% seropositivity, respectively. In this closed herd, the parasite was probably introduced by infected domesticated or wild carnivores inhabiting the farm, through the infective oocysts present in their stool. Resumo Um surto de abortamento com 75 abortos ocorreu em um rebanho fechado de vacas leiteiras da região centro Leste do Paraná entre dezembro e abril de 2017. Para chegar ao diagnóstico, fragmentos de órgãos foram coletados de um feto abortado e submetidos para histopatologia; e amostras de sangue foram coletadas de 1 natimorto, de 4 fetos abortados e de 9 cães da propriedade, para detecção de anticorpos pela reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI). Foram encontradas encefalite multifocal não supurativa, hepatite periportal e miocardite linfoplasmocitária multifocal. Anticorpos anti-Neospora foram detectados em todos os fetos abortados e em 5 dos 9 cães. DNA de N. caninum foi detectado no tecido cerebral de um dos fetos abortados. Amostras sanguíneas de 340 vacas e 146 novilhas mostraram uma soropositividade para N. caninum de 33,5% e 30,8%, respectivamente. Nesse rebanho fechado, o parasita foi introduzido possivelmente pelas fezes de cães domésticos ou selvagens infectados que habitam a propriedade.

A two-month-old lamb showing signs of severe neurological disease characterized by muscular tremors, hypermetria, and motor incoordination was submitted to the Veterinary Pathology Laboratory - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. At necropsy, the major findings were a marked reduction of the size of the cerebellum and bilateral dilatation of the lateral ventricles. Microscopically, areas of cellular disorganization in the cerebellar cortex, reduction of the granular layer of cerebellum associated with decreased density of cells, and the presence of large cytoplasmic vacuoles in the molecular layer were observed. Neurons of the gray matter of the brain and macrophages of the mesenteric lymph nodes stained positively by the immunohistochemistry test using the monoclonal antibody 15C5 against Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus. Taken together, those results are consistent with a pestivirus infection, either Border Disease Virus (BDV) or BVDV.

Sete caprinos receberam, por sonda esofágica, uma suspensão aquosa de folhas verdes de Trema micrantha moídas e um outro recebeu folhas verdes da planta à vontade. Os sinais clínicos iniciaram-se 2 dias após a ingestão e ocorreram em seis caprinos, cinco dos quais morreram em até 4 dias. Os animais doentes permaneciam longos períodos em estação, com cabeça baixa, olhar fixo, apáticos e inapetentes. Tenesmo, incoordenação e movimentos rítmicos laterais da cabeça também foram observados. T. micrantha mostrou-se tóxica a partir de 30g/kg de peso corporal. A alteração macroscópica mais significativa foi observada no fígado, que se apresentou friável, amarelado e com acentuado padrão lobular. Ao corte, havia áreas vermelhas, deprimidas e entremeadas por áreas mais claras. Em um animal, a coloração do fígado era vermelha, homogênea, mais clara que o normal e sem evidenciação do padrão lobular. Petéquias foram constatadas entre a escápula e o esterno, no epicárdio, no mediastino e nas serosas dos órgãos da cavidade abdominal. A principal alteração histológica foi necrose coagulativa centro-lobular que, em alguns casos, atingia todo o lóbulo, associada à congestão, hemorragia e alterações degenerativas nos hepatócitos circunjacentes. No sistema nervoso, havia tumefação de neurônios, mais proeminente no córtex frontal, associado a edema perineuronal e perivascular.

Although, serological assays for detecting immune response against Toxoplasma gondii in goats and sheep are frequent in Brazil, studies showing lesions and confirmation of infectious causes of abortion in goats in the state of Rio de Janeiro have not been reported. This study aimed to describe an abortion outbreak caused by T. gondii in a goat herd in the state of Rio de Janeiro. At histological examination, necrotizing encephalitis and lymphoplasmacytic myositis were observed in goat fetuses submitted to necropsy. The diagnoses were confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which revealed positive marking structures compatible with T. gondii bradyzoites in the brain and skeletal muscle cysts. T. gondii should be included among the causes of abortion in goats in the Southeast region of Brazil. RESUMO: Embora sejam frequentes as pesquisas sorológicas da toxoplasmose em caprinos e ovinos no Brasil, os estudos que apresentam as lesões e a confirmação das causas infecciosas de aborto em caprinos no estado do Rio de Janeiro não foram encontrados. Neste trabalho descreve-se Toxoplasma gondii como causa de aborto em uma criação de caprinos no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Ao exame histológico foi observada encefalite necrosante e miosite linfoplasmocítica nos fetos caprinos submetidos à necropsia. A confirmação do diagnóstico foi realizada com o exame de imuno-histoquímica, que revelou marcação positiva de cistos com bradizoítos de T. gondii no encéfalo e em músculo esquelético. T. gondii deve ser incluído entre as causas de aborto em cabras na região sudeste do Brasil.

The present work describes the occurrence of two conidiobolomycosis outbreaks in Santa Ines breedsheep, in the state of Bahia. The first outbreak (FO) occurred in a property located in Santo Estevao city,involving three animals, and the second outbreak (SO) occurred in a property in Entre Rios city, affecting one sheep. In both outbreaks, the clinical findings were characterized by progressive weight loss, dyspnea, andbloody serous nasal discharge. In the FO was also observed unilateral craniofacial asymmetry, associatedwith exophthalmia and epiphora of the right eye. Autopsies performed on the three FO sheep showeda large mass predominantly yellowish-white with red-black areas of the uneven surface, finely granular,moist and crumbly located in the ethmoidal region, invading the nasopharyngeal, choana, sinuses, retrobulbar region, who infiltrated the cribriform plate and reached the meninges. In two sheep of the FO, themass reached the front portion of the brain. In SO sheep it was found, on the mucous membrane of thenasal vestibule, small red-black multifocal to coalescing nodules, with eroded surface and hyperemiaof the nasal turbinates with hemorrhagic catarrhal secretion, and in the most rostral portion of nasalcavity, the mucosa had a irregular, wet, bleeding and red-black surface, with blackish gray and brownishareas, displaying partial focal destruction of nasal turbinates. Microscopic examination of granulomatouslesions revealed multiple areas of coagulation necrosis containing intense reaction of Splendore-Hoeppliassociated with negative images of fungal hyphae and granulomatous inflammation. In all cases, theGMS and PAS staining showed numerous wide hyphae, with bulbous distension at one end. By PCRtechnique it was characterized Conidiobolus lamprauges by analysis of serum samples of two sheep andparaffin block lesions of one sheep. Immunohistochemical analyzes were positive for C. lamprauges inall animals. It can be proved, for the first time, the occurrence of nasopharyngeal / rhinocerebral andrhinofacial conidiobolomycosis infection by C. lamprauges in the state of Bahia., O presente trabalho descreve a ocorrência de dois surtos de conidiobolomicose em ovinos da raça Santa Inês,no Estado da Bahia. O primeiro surto (PS) ocorreu em uma propriedade localizada no município de SantoEstevão, acometendo três animais, e o segundo surto (SS) em uma propriedade no município de Entre Rios,acometendo um ovino. Em ambos os surtos o quadro clínico caracterizou-se por emagrecimento progressivo,dispneia e descarga nasal serossanguinolenta. No PS observou-se ainda assimetria craniofacial unilateral,associada à exoftalmia e epífora direitas. As necropsias realizadas nos três ovinos do PS evidenciaramgrande massa predominantemente branco-amarelada, com áreas vermelho enegrecidas de superfícieirregular, finamente granular, úmida e friável localizada na região etmoidal, que invadia a nasofaringe, ascoanas, os seios nasais, a região retro bulbar, e se infiltrava na placa cribiforme e alcançava as meninges.Em dois ovinos do PS a massa atingia a porção frontal do cérebro. No ovino do SS verificou-se, na mucosado vestíbulo nasal pequenos nódulos multifocais a coalescentes, vermelho enegrecidos, com superfícieerodida, bem como hiperemia das conchas nasais com secreção catarral hemorrágica e, na porção maisrostral da cavidade nasal, a mucosa encontrava-se com superfície irregular úmida, hemorrágica, vermelhaenegrecida com áreas acinzentadas e amarronzadas, exibindo destruição focal parcial das conchasnasais. O exame microscópico das lesões granulomatosas revelou, em geral, múltiplas áreas de necrosede coagulação contendo intensa reação de Splendore-Hoeppli, associadas a imagens negativas de hifasfúngicas e inflamação granulomatosa. Em todos os casos a coloração pelo GMS e PAS evidenciou diversashifas largas, raramente septadas com dilatação balonosa em uma das extremidades. Por meio da técnicade PCR caracterizou-se Conidiobolus lamprauges, realizada nas amostras de soro de dois ovinos e naslesões emblocadas em parafina de um ovino. As análises imunohistoquímicas resultaram positivas paraC. lamprauges em todos os animais. Comprova-se, pela primeira vez, a ocorrência de conidiobolomicosenasofaríngea/rinocerebral e rinofacial por C. lamprauges no Estado da Bahia.

Background: Lead poisoning is one of the major toxic diseases of cattle. Contamination occurs with ingestion of products containing lead, especially batteries, or through contaminated pastures and water sources. Clinical signs are neurological and necropsy findings and histopathological changes may vary depending on the clinical presentation. Although the disease is widely reported in the literature, there are rare descriptions of intoxication in cattle raised in military training areas. This work describes the epidemiological, clinical and anatomopathological features of an outbreak of lead poisoning in cattle kept in a military artillery training camp. Case: Fifteen cattle out of a herd of sixty 4-6 year-old, mixed breed castrated males were affected. The cattle were held in a 100 ha of native pasture used for military artillery training. After three weeks in this area, the affected cattle had predominantly neurological clinical manifestations, characterized by somnolence, ambulatory incoordination, muscle tremors, bruxism, aimless walking, blindness and decubitus. The clinical course was 24-72 h. Eight of the 15 affected cattle died and two were necropsied. Necropsy finds were non-specific and the histological lesions of both necropsied cattle were restricted to the brain and kidneys. Laminar neuronal necrosis, neuropil vacuolization (spongiosis) and vascular endothelial hypertrophy were observed in the telencephalic cortex. Additionally there was astrocytic degeneration and neuronophagia. There was degeneration and necrosis of renal tubular epithelium and in one bovine there were intranuclear inclusion bodies in the renal epithelial cells; these inclusion bodies were highlighted using both modified Ziehl-Neelsen and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stains The levels of lead found in the kidneys and livers of the two necropsied cattle were respectively 51.7 μg/g and 41.00 μg/g for one of the necropsied cattle; and 431μg/g and 39.0 μg/g for the other. After the diagnosis of intoxication, cattle were removed from the area and the remaining seven affected bovines recovered. Discussion: The diagnosis of lead poisoning in cattle in the current study was based on epidemiological, clinical, anatomopathological data and in the determination of lead levels in the kidney and liver. The association of these data provides an invaluable aid in confirming a presumptive diagnosis of lead poisoning. Pasturing on military artillery training fields is a rarely described form source of lead for the intoxication in bovine species. In such cases, cattle may ingest the lead directly from the soil or through contaminated pastures containing lead dust on the surface of the leaves. Histologically, laminar neuronal necrosis in the telencephalic cortex, associated with tubular necrosis and intranuclear inclusion bodies in tubular epithelial cells, are characteristic features of the intoxication. These changes are usually associated with ischemic anoxia in the nervous system and alteration in nuclear function which interferes in gene expression in the kidney. Lead poisoning in cattle should be differentiated from other neurological conditions, especially rabies, hepatic encephalopathy and several causes of polioencephalomalacia. Areas of military artillery training are unfit for the development of agricultural exploitation activities, as they represent potential sources of contamination for livestock.

Leishmania infantum chagasi liver parasite load was compared to hemostatic abnormalities, as well as to clinical, laboratorial, and histopathological findings in dogs with visceral leishmaniasis. The liver parasite load of 30 dogs L. infantum chagasi naturally-infected was evaluated by quantitative real- time PCR and the results were compared with serum biochemistry and primary and secondary hemostasis findings. Moreover, hepatic histological lesions were described in these dogs. Prolonged bleeding time, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), were observed in the group with visceral leishmaniasis. Eleven dogs presented inflammatory liver lesions, with predominance of mild multifocal mononuclear periportal hepatitis. No association between the presence of parasites and abnormalities in screening tests was observed by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The clinical progression in leishmaniasis is associated with the occurrence of hemorrhagic diathesis, which depends not only on the presence of the parasite but also the inflammatory process, compromised immunological response, hepatic and renal failure in symptomatic dogs. Resumo A carga parasitária de Leishmania infantum chagasi do fígado foi comparada às anormalidades hemostáticas, bem como aos achados clínicos, laboratoriais e histopatológicos em cães com leishmaniose visceral. A carga parasitária do fígado de 30 cães naturalmente infectados por L. infantum chagasi foi avaliada por PCR quantitativo em tempo real e os resultados foram comparados com bioquímica sérica e achados de hemostasia primária e secundária. Além disso, foram descritas as lesões hepáticas nestes cães. Prolongado tempo de sangramento, tempo de protrombina (TP) e tempo de tromboplastina parcial ativada (TTPA) foram observados no grupo com leishmaniose visceral. Onze cães apresentaram lesões inflamatórias no fígado, predominando hepatite periportal mononuclear multifocal. Não foi observada associação entre a presença de parasitos e as anormalidades nos testes laboratoriais por correlação de Spearman. A progressão clínica na leishmaniose está associada com a ocorrência de diátese hemorrágica, que depende não só da presença do parasito, mas também do processo inflamatório, do comprometimento da resposta imunológica e da falência renal e hepática em cães sintomáticos.

Abortos e mortes neonatais são causas importantes de perdas reprodutivas na bovinocultura. Abortos causados por anomalias congênitas são esporádicos, mas podem ocorrer de forma epidêmica. Um levantamento retrospectivo realizado no setor de Patologia Veterinária da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul incluiu 307 casos de aborto bovino submetidos de setembro de 2001 a março de 2007. Em dez casos (3,5%), foram observadas anomalias congênitas, das quais, artrogripose, Amorphus globosus e fenda palatina (palatosquise) foram as mais freqüentes. Causas infecciosas foram investigadas, mas somente infecção por BVDV foi detectada por imunoistoquímica em um aborto com porencefalia. __________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Abortion, stillbirth and neonatal death are important causes of production losses to the livestock industry. Abortions caused by congenital anomalies may occur sporadically, or appear in epidemics. This retrospective study was conducted at Laboratory of Veterinary Pathology of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, and included 307 cases of bovine abortion submitted for diagnosis from September 2001 to March 2007. Most of them were from southern Brazil. Ten cases (3.25%) of congenital anomalies were seen. The most frequent congenital anomalies were artrogryposis, Amorphous globosus, and cleft palate (palatoschisis). Infectious causes were investigated, but only BVDV infection was detected by immunohistochemistry in one case, which was affected with porencephalia.

Suinos [Patologia veterinaria] ,Suínos [Aborto animal] ,Suinos [Natimortalidade] ,Agentes infecciosos - Abstract
O estudo resultou em dois artigos principais relacionados ao aborto suíno de origem viral e outros dois relatos de caso de aborto suíno de origem bacteriana. O primeiro artigo retrata a análise de 117 casos de aborto durante 1,5 anos. A causa de aborto foi identificada em 25,5% dos casos. Infecção por parvovírus suíno foi observada em 16,2% dos fetos. Aborto bacteriano foi diagnosticado em 5,1% dos casos (6/117), seguido por infecção de PCV2 (3,4%) e associações (2,5%). No segundo artigo, casos de aborto e natimortalidade suína por co-infecção entre circovírus suíno tipo 2 (PCV2) e parvovírus suíno (PPV) foram descritos, onde sete de 121 (5,78%) fetos suínos abortados apresentavam lesões compatíveis com origem viral e foram positivos pelas técnicas de imunoistoquímica e PCR para PCV2. Além disso, três (2,47%) desses sete casos também foram confirmados como co-infectados com PPV através da PCR. Dilatação ventricular, áreas pálidas no miocárdio e edema de mesocólon foram as alterações macroscópicas observadas. Lesões microscópicas incluíram miocardite não supurativa, necrose e fibrose cardíacas, focos de mineralização e corpúsculos de inclusão em cardiomiócitos e pneumonia intersticial mononuclear. O terceiro artigo retrata lesões de pele observadas em um feto suíno abortado devido à infecção por Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, enfatizando seus aspectos macroscópicos, histopatológicos e microbiológicos. No quarto artigo é descrito um caso de aborto suíno por Escherichia coli O157: H7 em que dois fetos analisados apresentavam lesões macroscópicas caracterizadas por líquido e fibrina na cavidade torácica e abdominal e petéquias no pericárdio. Microscopicamente foram observadas broncopneumonia supurativa e pleurite supurativa foram observadas. O teste de imunoistoquímica foi positivo para E. coli O157: H7. This study resulted in two main articles on viral swine abortion and two articles describing bacterial swine abortion. The first article 117 cases of swine abortion were analyzed during 1.5 year period. The cause of swine abortion was identified in 25.5% of cases. Parvovirus infection was observed in 16.2% of fetuses. Bacterial infection accounted for 5.1% (6/117) followed by PCV2 infection 3.4% (4/117) and associations 2.5% (3/117). In the second article swine abortion and stillbirth cases by co-infection between porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and porcine parvovirus was describe in which 7/121 (5.78%) swine fetuses had lesions consistent with viral cause and showed both positive anti-PCV2 immunostaining as well as PCV2-PCR. In samples from 3 (2.47 per cent) of these 7 fetuses, co-infection with PPV was confirmed by Nested-PCR. Ventricular dilatation, myocardial pale areas, and mesocolic edema were the gross lesions observed. Microscopic lesions included non-suppurative myocarditis, myocardial necrosis and fibrosis, mineralization foci and intranuclear inclusion bodies in cardiomyocytes, and interstitial mononuclear pneumonia. In the third article describes skin lesions in an aborted swine fetus due to Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae with special emphasis on macroscopic, histopathology and microbiology aspects. In the forth article a case about swine abortion due to Escherichia coli O157:H7 is described, in which two fetuses analyzed showed macroscopic lesions characterized by fluid with fibrin exudation in the corporal cavities and petechial hemorrhages in the pericardium. Microscopically, these lesions were characterized by focally-extensive suppurative pleuritis and fibrin-purulent interstitial bronchopneumonia in which were abundant gram-negative rods with morphology consistent with Escherichia coli. The immunohistochemistry test was positive for E. coli O157:H7.

Suíno - doenças ,Aborto ,animal diseases ,virus diseases ,Natimorto ,reproductive and urinary physiology - Abstract
Estudou-se retrospectivamente (2005-2007) a associação de casos de abortos e natimortos suínos com infecções por circovírus suíno (PCV) tipos 1 e 2 e parvovírus suíno (PPV). Outros agentes patogênicos foram pesquisados em amostras de fetos com lesões. O estudo incluiu natimortos e fetos mumificados de tamanhos variados. Dilatação ventricular, áreas pálidas miocárdicas e edema de mesocólon foram as lesões macroscópicas observadas. Escherichia coli coinfectou com PCV2 as amostras dos casos com edema de mesocólon. Lesões microscópicas incluíram miocardite não supurativa, necrose e fibrose miocárdicas, focos de mineralização e corpúsculos de inclusão em cardiomiócitos e pneumonia intersticial mononuclear. Entre os 121 fetos suínos abortados ou natimortos analisados, sete (5,78%) tinham lesões compatíveis com origem viral e foram positivos pelas técnicas de imunoistoquímica e PCR para PCV2. Além disso, três (2.47%) desses sete casos também foram confirmados como co-infectados com PPV através da PCR. Antígenos de PCV2 foram observados principalmente em macrógafos e no interior de miócitos dos fetos suínos abortados e natimortos. PCV2 e PPV foram detectados em diferentes estágios de gestação. PCV1 não foi associado isoladamente com feto ou natimorto afetado, mas estava presente em associação com PCV2 e/ou PPV em alguns desses produtos. Esses achados indicam que a infecção por PCV2, isoladamente ou em associação com PPV, deve ser considerada no diagnóstico de aborto infeccioso suíno no Brasil. __________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Porcine circovirus types 1 and 2 (PCV1, PCV2) and porcine parvovirus (PPV) are widespread in pig populations around the world. Nevertheless, only PCV2 has been associated with different clinical syndromes, thus representing a major problem to the pig industry. The association of cases of swine abortions and stillborns with PCV1 and PCV2 and PPV was studied retrospectively (2005-2007). Additional pathogens were also investigated in lesioned fetuses. The studied litters included stillborn piglets and several mummified fetuses of varied sizes. Ventricular dilatation, myocardial pale areas, and mesocolic edema were the gross lesions. Escherichia coli was detected as co-infecting with PCV2 the cases in which mesocolic edema was seen. Microscopic lesions included non-suppurative myocarditis, myocardial necrosis and fibrosis, mineralization foci and intranuclear inclusion bodies in cardiomyocytes, and interstitial mononuclear pneumonia. Samples from 7 (5.78 per cent) of 121 aborted fetuses and stillborn piglets had lesions consistent with a viral cause and showed both positive anti-PCV2 immunostaining as well as PCV2-PCR. In samples from 3 (2.47 per cent) of these 7 fetuses, coinfection with PPV was confirmed by Nested-PCR. Both viruses were detected in fetuses at different stages of gestation. Viral antigens of PCV2 were detected by immunohistochemistry mainly in macrophages and myocytes. PCV1 individually was not detected in any of these affected fetuses, but it was associated with PCV2 and/or PPV in some of them. These findings indicate that PCV2 alone or in association with PPV should be kept in mind when investigating causes of infectious abortion in pigs in Brazil.

Imunoistoquímica ,Neospora caninum ,Bovinos [Aborto] - Abstract
Um total de 237 fetos bovinos abortados foram enviados ao Setor de Patologia Veterinária da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul entre junho de 1999 e maio de 2004. Tecidos destes fetos foram analisados através da histologia e imunoistoquímica (IHQ) anti-Neospora caninum. Destes, 72 apresentaram lesões histológicas sugestivas de infecção por protozoário, caraterizadas pela presença de miosite não-supurativa, miocardite não-supurativa, pneumonia intersticial mononuclear associada a focos de necrose e encefalite necrosante não-supurativa multifocal. O cérebro apresentava consistência líquida ou semi-líquida em 61,1% dos fetos, dificultando a obtenção de tecido para a análise histológica e IHQ. A IHQ revelou a presença de taquizoítos e raros cistos de N. caninum no cérebro de 33/47 (70,2%) dos fetos que apresentam lesões histológicas sugestivas de infecção por protozoário. No modelo final da análise multivariada, três variáveis estiveram associadas significativamente com resultado positivo na IHQ nos fetos abortados: consistência do cérebro (P=0,031), lesão no cérebro (P=0,028) e idade (P=0,189). As chances de um resultado positivo na IHQ de N. caninum foram 4,35 vezes maiores (OR=4,35; 95% CI:1,1320-2,8116) quando o feto apresentava cérebro com consistência considerada normal e 4,94 vezes maiores (OR=4,94; 95%CI: 0,1646-3,0313) na presença de lesão sugestiva de infecção por protozoário caracterizada por encefalite de intensidade variada. A probabilidade de resultado positivo na IHQ foi inversamente proporcional à idade fetal, cada mês adicional de gestação diminuíram as chances de um feto apresentar resultado positivo na imunoistoquímica por 0,41 (OR=0,41, 95%CI: 1,5982- 0,1436).

Leptospira sp ,abortion ,aborto ,eqüino ,equine - Abstract
Descreve-se um caso de aborto eqüino por Leptospira sp. em um feto de 6 meses proveniente de um estabelecimento localizado próximo a Porto Alegre/RS. As lesões macroscópicas se caracterizaram por icterícia e hemorragias distribuídas difusamente sobre a pele, mucosa oral, tecido subcutâneo, pulmão, coração e sistema gastrintestinal. O fígado estava aumentado de tamanho, friável e de coloração amarelada. Os rins apresentavam hemorragias petequiais na superfície capsular e na superfície de corte observaram-se palidez da região cortical e medular. Cortes de rim e sistema nervoso central, corados por Warthin-Starry, revelaram a presença de espiroquetas nos túbulos, glomérulos e substância branca do encéfalo. Cultivo aeróbio de amostras de fígado e pulmão não revelaram crescimento bacteriano significativo. O teste de imunofluorescência direta para Leptospira sp. foi positivo e a sorologia fetal resultou numa titulação de 80 para o sorovar copenhageni e 40 para os sorovares icterohaemorragiae e pomona. This report describes an abortion on 6-month-old equine aborted fetus that has been caused by Leptospira sp. Main lesions included jaundice and hemorrhages diffusely scattered throughout the skin, oral mucosa, subcutaneous tissues, lungs, heart and gastrointestinal system. The liver was enlarged, pliable and yellow colored. The cortical and medullar of the kidneys were pale and petechial hemorrhages were present on the capsular surface. Warthin-Starry stained slices of the kidneys and central nervous system revealed the presence of spirochaetes within the tubules, glomeruli and white matter of the encephalo. Aerobic cultivation from samples of the liver and lungs were negative. The direct immunofluorescence test for Leptospira sp. was positive and the fetus’s serological test resulted titers of 80 against sorotype copenhageni and 40 against the sorotypes icterohaemorragiae and pomona.

Mycotic abortion ,Bovinos [Aborto animal] ,Bovine abortion ,Aspergillus spp - Abstract
As infecções micóticas apresentam distribuição mundial e podem causar placentite e aborto em diversas espécies de animais. Entre setembro 2001 e novembro 2002, foram processados no Setor de Patologia Veterinária, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 147 fetos bovinos abortados com o objetivo de avaliar as principais causas de aborto infeccioso bovino no sul do Brasil. Destes, 34 estavam acompanhados da placenta. Aborto micótico foi diagnosticado em cinco casos (3,4%) mediante cultivo puro de quatro amostras de Aspergillus fumigatus e uma de A. niger associado a lesões histológicas características de fungo. Os exames virológico, bacteriológico e imunofluorescência direta para Leptospira sp foram negativos nestes casos. A idade dos fetos variava entre 5 e 8 meses de idade. Lesões macroscópicas foram observadas em quatro casos e eram caracterizadas por áreas circulares multifocais branco-acinzentadas na pele, principalmente na região da cabeça e dorso, em dois fetos, lesões nodulares no fígado em um caso e espessamento dos cotilédones em duas placentas enviadas juntamente com os fetos. Lesões histológicas foram observadas principalmente no fígado, pulmão e placenta, caracterizadas por hepatite necrótica multifocal, broncopneumonia supurativa e placentite necrótica. Através da coloração de Grocott hifas septadas foram observadas em duas placentas e nas bordas das lesões necróticas no fígado de um feto. Em dois casos hifas foram observadas somente na placenta e não no feto, salientando-se a importância deste tecido para o diagnóstico de aborto micótico bovino. Mycotic infection has worldwide distribution and may cause placentitis and abortion in almost all domestic animals. From September 2001 through November 2002 specimens from 147 aborted bovine fetuses along with 34 placentas were submitted to the Laboratory of Veterinary Pathology, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, to investigate infectious causes of abortion in southern Brazil. Mycotic abortion was diagnosed in five cases (3.4%). Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from four cases and A. niger from one. Virological, bacteriological and direct immunofluorescent antibody tests for Leptospira sp were negative in those cases where Aspergillus sp was cultured. The gestational age of those fetuses ranged from 5 to 8 months. Macroscopic lesions were observed in four cases. One had several nodular lesions disseminated throughout the liver, two had skin lesions characterized by white-grayish round plaques mostly on the head and neck, and thickened cotyledons in two placentas sent with those fetuses. The histological lesions were observed in the liver, lungs and placenta and consisted primary of necrotizing hepatitis, suppurative bronchopneumonia of varying degrees and necrotizing placentitis. With the use of Grocott's methenamine-silver staining, septate hyphae could be observed in three cases, surrounding necrotizing lesions in the liver of one fetus and in two placentas. In two cases hyphae were observed in placental tissues and not in fetal tissues, indicating the importance of the placenta in diagnosing mycotic abortion in cattle.
