ABSTRACT. We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite fl ies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with infl uence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fl y. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant fl ies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoff roy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoff roy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fl y was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.

Streblidae is the family of bloodsucking flies, mostly tropical and subtropical, that are obligate ectoparasites of bats. A high number of these fly species are found in the Atlantic Forest, but there is little information about their quantitative descriptors. In this paper, we describe the prevalence, mean intensity, and infracommunities of streblid bat flies on phyllostomid bats from the Parque Estadual da Ilha do Cardoso, São Paulo state, Brazil. Surveys were conducted from July 1990 to July 1991 in distinct places of the island, with a total of 454 flies of 30 species collected from 132 bats of 15 species. From those, we found 44 host-parasite associations and 31 infracommunities that suffered variations due to accidental associations or contaminations. With our results, the number of Streblidae species increased from 31 to 36 in São Paulo State.

Resumo. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer o perfil das mulheres gestantes trabalhadoras. Esta pesquisa foi de natureza transversal e prospectiva, com abordagem quantitativa. Foram estudadas 187 gestantes, com idade de 27,11±5,9 anos. Utilizou-se um questionário abordando dados gerais, hábitos de vida, condição no mercado de trabalho e entendimento sobre direitos trabalhistas. 32,1% das gestantes são agricultoras, 58% assalariadas e 52,9% conhecem seus direitos. 99,5% relataram ter autorização do empregador para realizar o pré-natal. Em 41,7% dos casos houve troca da função laboral. Foram realizadas oficinas sobre direitos da gestante ministradas por um docente do curso de Direito. Conclui-se que as gestantes têm acesso ao sistema de saúde e que a integração com os profissionais da rede, equipe PET e os participantes do curso de direito permitiram um novo olhar para a educação em saúde.Palavras-chave: Gestante, Trabalho, Direito, Saúde.

Bats are the second largest order of mammals, with varying feeding habits and great ecological significance. Anthropization has several important effects on animal communities and the Brazilian Cerrado, a Neotropical savannah, has been severely affected by human activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate phyllostomid bat assemblage distributions in the different landscape formations of a modified savannah. Using mist nets, we performed 36 sampling nights between 2015 and 2016. The sampling effort was 23,328 m².h and was equally distributed over three landscape formations: a large fragment, riparian forest, and small fragments. We compared capture rates, richness, diversity, similarity, and feeding guilds for the three formations. We captured 418 bats of 12 species belonging to the family Phyllostomidae. The most abundant species was Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823) (n = 126). We found no significant differences in capture rate or diversity between the areas, but there were differences in feeding guild representation. Frugivores species were the most abundant in the three areas. No gleaning insectivore or carnivore species were captured in the small fragments, and the large fragment contained no hematophages. The large fragment and the small fragments had the greatest similarity whereas the riparian forest and small fragments had the least similarity.
