The product quality is a competitive advantage that plays a differential role among companies. In the food industry, which is based on the Quality Management System, such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which cover the hygiene procedure, aiming at food safety. In view of the above, the aim of this study was to evaluate the hygienic-sanitary conditions of a selected dairy from the São Luís Island - MA. An application of the checklist was performed, swab collection from the hands of the manipulators and equipment and the collection of water and yogurt for microbiological analysis. After this step, a training was performed for food handlers and finally, new collections and microbiological analysis were performed. All the microbiological analysis performed were satisfactory, except for the water sample, one before and again for training. It can be verified that the hygienic-sanitary condition of the dairy was good. However, after a lecture and new microbiological analyzes, improvements were observed in the results.
RESUMO.A doença de Lyme é uma zoonose pouco relatada no Brasil e o cão comportase como reservatório no ambiente domiciliar, o que favorece a transmissão do patógeno para o homem e outros animais. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a presença de anticorpos anti-Borrelia burgdorferi em um cão atendido em uma clínica de São Luís -MA. A doença de Lyme ou borreliose de Lyme é uma enfermidade infecciosa de distribuição mundial, determinada por espiroquetas do gênero Borrelia, que acomete diferentes espécies de animais domésticos, silvestres e também o homem. Foi atendido em uma clínica particular, um cão da raça Rottweiler, macho, 1 ano de idade com a queixa de apatia, secreção ocular bilateral e presença de ectoparasitas. Ao exame físico foi observado que o animal estava magro, mucosas conjuntival e oral hipocoradas, linfonodos submandibular, pré-escapulares e poplíteos normais à palpação e sem alterações à auscultação pulmonar e cardíaca. O presente caso permitiu concluir que as alterações clínicas e hematológicas podem ser inespecíficas, no entanto em regiões onde a incidência de carrapatos é de grande relevância e por ser uma zoonose, torna-se importante a investigação de borreliose em animais que apresentem histórico de carrapato. O diagnóstico preciso de borreliose canina deve ser feito a fim de instituir a terapêutica adequada para o caso. É de suma importância o controle dos vetores, pois são eles os responsáveis pela transmissão da borreliose. Sendo assim, é necessário que haja orientação do Médico Veterinário para os proprietários de animais infectados minimizando os riscos à saúde humana e animal.

Lyme disease is a zoonosis that is rarely reported in Brazil and the dog behaves as a reservoir in the home environment, which favors the transmission of the pathogen to humans and other animals. Thus, the objective of this study was to report the presence of anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies in a dog attended at a clinic in São Luís -MA. Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is an infectious disease of worldwide distribution, determined by spirochetes of the genus Borrelia, which affects different species of domestic animals, wild and also man. It was attended in a private clinic, a dog of the breed Rottweiler, male, 01 year old with the complaint of apathy, bilateral ocular secretion and
Babesiosis is an emerging, worldwide disease caused by protozoa of the genus Babesia, which infects domestic animals and wildlife, as well as humans. The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of Babesia canis vogeli in dogs in the city of São Luís - MA, Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 65 animals for direct examination, through blood smear and molecular diagnosis, through PCRun. Among the 65 animals analyzed by direct diagnosis, none were positive for Babesia spp. while PCRun showed that 5 (7.69%) were infected by B. canis vogeli, demonstrating the presence of this species in dogs from an urban environment in the city of São Luís. It was concluded that PCR is a more sensitive and specific for this diagnosis, and can be used to define more precisely the infection of dogs by B. canis vogeli. This study confirmed the presence of B. C. vogeli in dogs in the city of.
