“…Despite the ecological importance, armadillos are intensively exploited as a source of trade and food (Balamayooran et al, ; Kerr et al, ). This condition results in fauna and human harm since these animals are important intermediates in the food chains, besides being reservoirs of microorganisms that cause diseases such as leprosy and paracoccidioidomycosis (Deps et al, ; Deus Filho, Deus, Menezes, Soares, & Lira, ; Richini‐Pereira et al, ; Truman et al, ). The morphological knowledge about armadillos is fundamental in order to allow the adequate management of these animals in the clinic and their preservation in the environment.…”

“…Other morphological variations may also be present, but they are still unknown. The armadillos, especially D. novemcinctus , are reservoirs of microorganisms such as those responsible for leprosy and paracoccidioidomycosis (Deps et al, ; Richini‐Pereira et al, ; Truman et al, ), and this characteristic may be associated with modifications in structures such as the larynx. Thus, the objective of this study was the macroscopic and microscopic description of cartilage of the larynx of the nine‐banded armadillo ( D. novemcinctus ).…”

Armadillos, Xenarthras representatives, known for adaptability to different ecosystems, own specific morphophysiological characteristics that are not known and deserve to be studied. The aim of this study was to describe the morphology of cartilage of the larynx of the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus). Five dead armadillos were donated by the Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity (ICMBio-PI) to the Federal University of Piauí. The animals were fixed and dissected for removal of the larynx. The cartilages were identified and described, photodocumented, and schematized. Fragments with about 0.5 cm of each cartilage were collected and submitted to classical histology for Hematoxylin-Eosin coloring. The slides were assembled in enterlan and analyzed under a light microscope. The larynx of the armadillo (D. novemcinctus) is located in the mentonian region, ventral to the esophagus, and due to the total positioning of the tongue in the oral cavity, there is also a cranial cervical position in this species. The larynx has five cartilages, they are: a cricoid, a thyroid, an epiglottis, and two arytenoids. The corniculate process is present; however, the cuneiform process is absent. The epiglottis has a discrete bifurcation at its apex. In all cartilages epithelial variations are observed. The tissues are varied from squamoso stratified to cylindrical pseudostratified, with propria lamina rich in mucoserosas glands. With the exception of epiglottic cartilage, predominantly elastic, the rest are hyaline. The larynx of D. novemcinctus, although the same number of cartilages, differs morphologically and microscopically from the larynx of other species.

“…No grande tema sobre Aspectos Gerais, apesar de a média de acertos ter sido alta (83,2%), algumas questões parecem causar duvidas nos participantes, como a de ter outra fonte de infecção além do homem. Embora ainda não comprovado que a doença seja uma zoonose [17][18][19] , a bactéria tem a capacidade de infectar e se multiplicar em alguns animais, sendo esses considerados como seus reservatórios naturais 20 .…”

O objetivo do estudo foi revelar o conhecimento sobre hanseníase dos voluntários participantes da Rede virtual de Mobilização (REMOB) do Movimento de Reintegração das pessoas Atingidas pela Hanseníase (MORHAN) em relação a aspectos gerais, diagnóstico, transmissão e tratamento. Os voluntários da REMOB foram convidados a responder um formulário on line contendo 35 afirmativas sobre hanseníase e perguntas específicas sobre o voluntariado. Participaram do estudo 105 voluntários, representando 20 estados brasileiros, a média de idade foi de 38,9 (dp14,14), 72,4% eram atuantes na área da saúde, 73,3% tinham nível superior e/ou pós-graduação, para 63,8% as atividades voluntárias não iniciaram por conhecer alguém com a doença. O percentual médio de acertos sobre diagnóstico foi de 84,2%, aspectos gerais 83,2%, transmissão 71,6% e tratamento 61,9%. O conhecimento sobre hanseníase foi maior nas questões referentes ao diagnóstico e menor sobre tratamento que embora sejam bastante específicas, devem ser alvo de investimento para capacitação permanente.
