UNIPAR, Umuarama, v. 17, n. 3, p. 173-175, jul./set. 2014. RESUMO:O presente trabalho teve como objetivo levantar o perfil dos proprietários de cães de Teresina (PI) sobre o motivo da compra ou adoção de cães, as mudanças nas vidas dos proprietários após a conduta e preferências dos proprietários em relação à raça, sexo e idade dos animais. Foram realizadas cem entrevistas com proprietários de cães. Observou-se que no município de Teresina, a maioria das pessoas compra ou adota um cão por razões afetivas (78%). As pessoas preferem cães para companhia (70%), com maior tendência para filhotes (81%), machos, sem raça definida (65%). Houve pouca preocupação sobre abandono de animais, demonstrando que em Teresina há necessidade de campanhas regulares para adoção de animais abandonados e os gestores públicos devem se esforçar para divulgar a guarda responsável, na tentativa de minimizar este problema de saúde pública. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Abandono. Canino. Guarda responsável. Saúde pública. DOG OWNER PROFILE IN THE CITY OF TERESINA (BRAZIL)ABSTRACT: This study aims to detect the profile of dog owners in Teresina (PI) on the reason to purchase or adopt dogs, the changes in the lives of the owners after such action and preferences of owners about breed, gender and age of animals. One hundred interviews were conducted with dog owners. It was observed that in the city of Teresina, most people buy or adopt a dog for emotional reasons (78%). The results show that people prefer dogs for company (70%), and puppies are the preferred age (81%). In this city, people prefer male dogs (65%) and mongrel dogs. There is little concern about abandoned animals, demonstrating that in Teresina, regular adoption campaigns must be held and public managers should make all efforts to promote responsible ownership in order to reduce this public health issue. KEYWORDS: Abandonment. Canine. Public health. Responsible ownership.

Aedes aegypti is the um mosquito responsible for the transmission of several diseases to humans such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika virus and urban yellow fever. The control of this culicid is done by utilizing insecticides that cause insect resistance. Therefore, natural alternatives to control A. aegypti have been sought. Thus, the objective of our work was to characterize the chemical composition of the crude extract of the leaves of Inga laurina and to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the extract on the larvae of A. aegypti. The crude extract was prepared form dry leaves by dynamic maceration using alcohol 96º GL as extracting solvent. The chemical identification of the compounds found in the crude extract was done by a gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The larvicidal activity was determined by larval packet test in third-stage development larvae A. aegypti. Fifteen compounds were identified in the leaves and the major ones were γ- sitosterol (34.39%), phytol (14.51%), squalene (8.57%) and stigmasterol (7.38%). I. laurina leaf crude extract presented larvicidal activity potential against A. aegypti larvae presenting lethal concentration of 50% (CL50) of 0.98 mg/mL and 99% (CL99) of 2.69 mg/mL. Thus, I. laurina leaf crude extract presented rich composition of phytosterols and promising insecticide activity against A. aegypti larvae, offering new possibilities for the application and development of products.
The aim of this paper was to conduct a bibliometry search about Brazilian scientific publications that describe experimental orthopedic surgeries in dogs. It was analyzed 14 publications, and there was wide variation in the number of experimental animals, showing that there is no consensus on the appropriate number for science experiment with dogs. Most articles had been reviewed by an ethics committee (13/14, 92.85%) and only two articles (2/14; 14.28%) did not report the use of analgesic protocol. Among analgesics, morphine was the most widely used, noted in seven studies (7/14; 42.85%). In six of the articles (6/14; 42.85%), the final destination of animals was not informed, but in four experiments (4/14; 28.57%) the dogs were euthanized. In four studies (4/14; 28.57%) the animals were sent for adoption. In conclusion, the ethics in animal research in Brazil has advanced, but is necessary proper planning in sample size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
