Pitiose em ovinos nos estados de Pernambuco e Bahia

Abstract: Pythiosis is a devastating infectious disease caused by an aquatic oomycete, Pythium insidioum, and affects animals and humans that inhabit wetlands. The disease is characterized mainly by granulomatous lesions in the hosts. The purpose of this study was to report the occurrence of pythiosis in sheep in the states of Pernambuco (PE) and Bahia (BA), Northeastern Brazil, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of an immunotherapic against ovine pythiosis. Blood samples were collected from 53 sheep, 49 from flocks in… Show more

“…Os surtos de conidiobolomicose e pitiose em animais estão sempre associados ao contato com matéria orgânica vegetal presente na água (Tabosa et al 2004, Riet-Correa et al 2008, Portela et al 2010, Carrera et al 2013, Aguiar et al 2014. A presença de áreas alagadas, vegetação abundante e temperatura ambiental superior a 20°C propiciam condições ideais para a reprodução dos fungos e oomicetos.…”

“…lesões macroscópicas foram semelhantes aos observados em outros surtos da doença no Brasil (Riet-Correa et al 2008, Carrera et al 2013, Aguiar et al 2014. A localização rinofacial da pitiose e a morfologia das lesões são consideradas características clínico-patológicas importantes da infecção pelo oomiceto (Ubiali et al 2013).…”
