This paper reports plant poisonings in ruminants and horses, diagnosed between 2000 and 2007, in the Veterinary Pathology Laboratory at the Federal University of Campina Grande, in the city of Patos, state of Paraíba. In cattle, 7.4% of the diseases diagnosed were caused by poisonous plants. Outbreaks were caused by Centhraterum brachylepis (1), Brachiaria spp. (1), Crotalaria retusa (2), Ipomoea batatas (1), Marsdenia sp. (1), grass containing nitrites (3 outbreaks, 1 by Echinochloa polystachya and 2 by Pennisetum purpureum), Palicourea aeneofusca (1), Prosopis juliflora (3), Nerium oleander (1), and Mimosa tenuiflora (7). In sheep, 13% of the diseases diagnosed were caused by toxic plants. Four outbreaks were caused by Ipomoea asarifolia, 3 by Brachiaria spp., 2 by Crotalaria retusa, 2 by Tephrosia cinerea, 1 by Panicum dichotomiflorum, 1 by Mascagnia rigida, and 20 by Mimosa tenuiflora. In goats, 6.4% of the diseases were caused by toxic plants. Seven outbreaks were caused by Mimosa tenuiflora, 1 by Ipomoea asarifolia, 1 by Ipomoea carnea, 1 by Ipomoea riedelli, 3 by Prosopis juliflora, 1 by Arrabidaea corallina, 2 by Aspidosperma pyrifolium, and 2 by Turbina cordata. In horses, 14% of the diagnosed diseases were due to plants poisonings including 12 outbreaks caused by Crotalaria retusa and one by Turbina cordata. Annual losses in the state of Paraíba by deaths of livestock are estimated in 3,895 cattle, 8,374 sheep, 6,390 goats, and 366 horses, which represent about US$ 1,380,000. Epidemiologic, clinical and pathologic aspects of poisonings by Crotalaria retusa in cattle, Brachiaria spp. in sheep, Prosopis juliflora in cattle and goats, Nerium oleander in cattle, Opuntia ficus-indica in goats, and Turbina cordata in horses and goats are reported.

Foi realizado um levantamento dos surtos de intoxicações por plantas em ruminantes e equinos diagnosticados no Laboratório de Patologia Veterinária (LPV), do Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus de Patos, Paraíba, no período de 2000-2007. Em bovinos 7,4% dos diagnósticos realizados pelo LPV foram intoxicações por plantas. Foram diagnosticadas intoxicações por Centhraterum brachylepis (um surto), Brachiaria spp. (um surto), Crotalaria retusa (dois surtos), Ipomoea batatas (um surto), Marsdenia sp. (um surto), gramíneas contendo nitratos e nitritos (um surto por Echinochloa polystachya e dois surtos por Pennisetum purpureum), Palicourea aeneofusca (um surto), Prosopis juliflora (três surtos), Nerium oleander (um surto) e Mimosa tenuiflora (sete surtos). Na espécie ovina 13% dos diagnósticos foram intoxicações por plantas. Os surtos foram causados por Ipomoea asarifolia (quatro surtos), Brachiaria spp. (três surtos), Crotalaria retusa (dois surtos), Tephrosia cinerea (dois surtos), Panicum dichotomiflorum (um surto), Mascagnia rigida (um surto) e malformações associadas à ingestão de Mimosa tenuiflora (20 surtos). Nos caprinos, 6,4% dos diagnósticos corresponderam à intoxicação por plantas. Sete surtos foram causados por Mimosa tenuiflora, um por Ipomoea asarifolia, um por Ipomoea carnea, um por Ipomoea riedelli, três por Prosopis juliflora, um por Arrabidaea corallina, dois por Aspidosperma pyrifolium, dois por Turbina cordata e um por Opuntia ficus-indica. Na espécie equina 14% das doenças diagnosticadas foram devidas a intoxicações por plantas, sendo 12 surtos por Crotalaria retusa e um por Turbina cordata. As perdas na Paraíba por plantas tóxicas são estimadas em 3.895 bovinos, 8.374 ovinos, 6.390 caprinos e 366 equinos, que representam uma perda econômica anual, por morte de animais, de R$ 2.733.097,00. São relatados alguns aspectos epidemiológicos, sinais clínicos e patologia de surtos de intoxicação por Crotalaria retusa em bovinos, Brachiaria spp. em ovinos, Prosopis juliflora em bovinos e caprinos, Nerium oleander em bovinos, Opuntia ficus-indica em caprinos e Turbina cordata em equinos e caprinos.
#32 - Staphylococcal toxin genes in milk samples from cows diagnosed with subclinical mastitis, p.617-621

Staphylococcal toxin genes in milk samples from cows diagnosed with subclinical mastitis. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 28(12):617-621. Centro de Pesquisas Aggeu Magalhães, Fiocruz, Av.

The present study was carried out in 11 dairy herds in four municipal districts of the rural area of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Out of 984 quarter milk (246 cows), 10 (1.0%) were positive for clinical mastitis, 562 (57.1%) for subclinical mastitis and 412 (41.9%) were negative. A total of 81 Staphylococcus spp. isolates were obtained from milk samples from the cows diagnosed with subclinical mastitis. From these, 53 (65.0%) were S. aureus, 16 (20.0%) coagulase-positive staphylococci (CPS) and 12 (15.0%) coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). The isolates were further investigated for the presence of toxin genes by multiplex and uniplex PCR. The main gene observed was seg followed by seh, sei and sej. The distribution of these observed genes among the isolates obtained from different areas showed a regional pattern for the SEs. The presence of toxin genes in the strains isolated from bovine milk demonstrates a potential problem for public health.

#33 - Diagnose of the adoptive passive immunity adquired through the colostrum in the newbom foal
Abstract in English:
The sera of seventeen thoroughbred mares were examined at the time of parturition using the biuret reaction, eletrophoresis and zinc sulphate turbidity (ZST) in order to determine serum protein levels. The sera of their foals were sampled at zero, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 28, 72 and 96 hours after colostrum intake and submitted to the sarne tests as in the mare in order to determine diagnostic means to detect immunodeficiency states. A significant rise of the total sérum protein (P < 0,0005), gammaglobulins (P < 0,0001) and ZST (P < 0,0001) was observed in the foals serum since colostrum intake up to 96 hours. It was possible to detect both by eletrophoresis and ZST in the foals serum similar levels of Ig as in adults as soon as six hours after sucking. It was concluded that the huge variations encountered in total protein levels preclude their use in the diaghosis of maternal transfer of Ig through the colostrum and confirms that eletrophoresis and ZST are safe and accurate methods for this type of diagnosis. The ZST test is the method of choice for the diagnosis of maternal transfer of Ig through the colostrum, because it is simples, direct, fast, efficient and enables the diagnosis at Stud as soon as six hours after colostrum intake.
Abstract in Portuguese:
O soro sangüíneo e o colostro de 17 éguas da raça PSC, no momento do parto, foram examinados pelos métodos do biureto, eletroforese e turvação pelo sulfato de zinco, para verificação dos níveis de proteína sérica. Amostras de soro dos seus potros, coletadas zero, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 e 96 horas após a ingestão do colostro, foram submetidas aos mesmos testes com o objetivo de se estabelecer um meio diagnóstico para imunodeficiência. Verificou-se, nos potros, um aumento significativo nos níveis séricos de proteína total (P < 0,0005), gamaglobulina (P < 0,0001) e turvação pelo sulfato de zinco (P < 0,0001) desde a ingestão do colostro até 96 horas após. Tanto pela eletroforese como pela turvação pelo sulfato de zinco pôde-se detectar, seis horas após o potro mamar, níveis de Ig semelhantes ao do animal adulto. Conclui-se que as enormes variações encontradas na proteína total impedem o uso de seus valores para o diagnóstico de transferência de Ig colostral e confirma-se que a eletroforese e a turvação pelo sulfato de zinco são métodos seguros para esse diagnóstico. Chegou-se à conclusão de que o método da turvação pelo sulfato de zinco, por ser simples, direto, rápido e eficiente, permite o diagnóstico a nível de Haras a partir de seis horas após a ingestão do colostro.
