“…Phlebotomine sand fly vectors of Leishmania parasites such as L. longipalpis (Figure 4) and L. whitmani may be found in high numbers throughout the year in different Brazilian regions [175-180], even if some species may display population peaks during the months of highest rainfall [181]. The same applies for fleas and ticks.…”

Dogs and cats in Brazil serve as primary hosts for a considerable number of parasites, which may affect their health and wellbeing. These may include endoparasites (e.g., protozoa, cestodes, trematodes, and nematodes) and ectoparasites (i.e., fleas, lice, mites, and ticks). While some dog and cat parasites are highly host-specific (e.g., Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Felicola subrostratus for cats, and Angiostrongylus vasorum and Trichodectes canis for dogs), others may easily switch to other hosts, including humans. In fact, several dog and cat parasites (e.g., Toxoplasma gondii, Dipylidium caninum, Ancylostoma caninum, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Toxocara canis) are important not only from a veterinary perspective but also from a medical standpoint. In addition, some of them (e.g., Lynxacarus radovskyi on cats and Rangelia vitalii in dogs) are little known to most veterinary practitioners working in Brazil. This article is a compendium on dog and cat parasites in Brazil and a call for a One Health approach towards a better management of some of these parasites, which may potentially affect humans. Practical aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitic diseases of dogs and cats in Brazil are discussed.

“…Despite research on geographical distribution, biology, behavior, and sand fly control conducted in Paraná (Membrive et al Teodoro et al , , , , Reinhold‐Castro et al , Silva et al little is known about larval habitats in this state. There was an extraordinary number of sand flies collected in the Recanto Marista, from October, 1996 to September, 1997, (157,983) (Teodoro et al from October, 1998 to April, 2000 (122,616) (Teodoro et al from April, 2001 to September, 2002 (199,821) (Teodoro et al from May, 2005 to April, 2006 (213,195) (Reinhold‐Castro et al and from July, 2006 to November, 2007 (287,473) (Reinhold‐Castro et al suggesting that this locality has very favorable areas for development. This prompted us to perform research on the detection of natural larval habitats to support measures to control the sand fly populations.…”

We report the results of an investigation of natural larval sand fly habitats in the Recanto Marista, Doutor Camargo municipality, Paraná state, Brazil, from May, 2010 to August, 2012. We used Alencar emergence traps (AT), experimental traps (ET), and soil samples incubated in a biochemical oxygen demand incubator. Eight sand flies were collected with ATs. One specimen was collected with an ET and 21 were collected in soil samples. The collected species were Brumptomyia brumpti, Micropygomyia ferreirana, Migonemyia bursiformis, Migonemyia migonei, Nyssomyia neivai, Nyssomyia whitmani, and Pintomyia pessoai. The laval habitats of sand flies were located in the Recanto Marista, especially between tree roots, but the number of adults that emerged in the traps and soil samples was small despite the high density of sand flies that has been recorded in the Recanto Marista.

“…In fact, the vegetation is discontinuous and sometimes non-existent. The phytocenoses are similar to those of the early waves of plant dynamics in some dry land environments (pioneer successions, Reinhold-Castro et al, 2013, Li et al, 2014. Most of them are herbaceous, shrubs and heliophilous shrubs of the Piperaceae family (genera Piper and Peperomia), Euphorbiaceae, Orchidaceae, Aracées, Bromeliaceae, Cactaceae, Agavaceae, Flacourtiaceae, and Poaceae; Bignoniaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Boraginaceae, Verbaceaceae, Mimosaceae, Erythroxylaceae, Rubiaceae and Myrtaceae.…”

Some Elements of Knowledge on the Coastal Floristic Formations of Martinique (French West Indies)

From the middle of the 17th century to the end of the 18th century, the dynamics of land use in Martinique were accompanied by significant landscape transformation. The latter resulted from profound changes in the structural and functional organization of the vegetation. In the end, the history of this small tropical island is a permanent process of biocenonic changes. Despite the limited available data, it is likely that these were accompanied by disappearances of species. This specific diversity erosion mainly concerns the species in the last phases of ecosystemic evolution: particularly those of climax formations. In reality, the successive Antillean societies, formerly agrarian and today characterized by a strong presence of tertiary activities, led to a marked decline in pre-Columbian forests, which are supposed to be primitive. Many coastline forests were soon eliminated. Apart from the very marginal climatic forests protected by the foothills of the Pitons du Carbet and the Pelee Mountain, the secondary forest formations occupy small areas. Isolated in a herbaceous, shrubby and pre-forest vegetation, whose surface is being inexorably reduced due to human activities, they occupy zones that are unsuitable for agriculture, habitation and the various vital infrastructures: slopes, valley or gully bottoms, narrow ridges. The coastline, which was the main settlement location for the first Caribbean societies, is still home to most of the population and economic activities. It is characterized by species, physiognomies and phytocenoses typical of artificialized biotopes. Faced with an inexorable societal development, how can we preserve the floristic, ecosystemic and coastal landscape diversity specific to the patrimonial forest formations which have become natural monuments?
