Abstract The capuchin monkey (Sapajus nigritus) is one of the primates that make up wild fauna Rio Grande do Sul. Like other animals, suffer from infectious diseases transmitted by insects, including filariasis. This report presents anatomopathological aspects a multisystemic infection Dipetalonema spp. in monkey, female, adult, origin, rescued along highway north state Sul road policing servic...

The development of Dipetalonema viteae third stage larvae was attempted in vitro. A monophasic culture system consisting of BHK-21 medium supplemented with 10% tryptose-phosphate broth and 15% fresh jird serum allowed the growth of previously in vivo triggered larvae, but not of those isolated from ticks. The larvae could complete their third moult and grew on a fourth stage larvae up to 5 mm. ...

Antifilarial activity of 5/6/7/8-mono- or disubstituted 1 H/1-phenyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (I) has been described. The 1,6- and 8-substituted 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (I) elicited interesting filaricidal activity against Litomosoides carinii and Acanthocheilonema viteae in rodent hosts.

Resumo O macaco-prego (Sapajus nigritus) é um dos primatas que compõem a fauna silvestre do Rio Grande Sul. Assim como outros animais silvestres, os padecem de doenças infecciosas veiculadas por insetos, entre as quais, filarioses. Este relato apresenta aspectos anatomopatológicos uma infecção multissistêmica Dipetalonema spp. em macaco-prego, fêmea, adulta, origem silvestre, resgatado junto ro...

THE incrimination of the trypanosome as the cause of sleeping sickness and the discovery of the transmission of the parasite by the tsetse fly was the result of studies carried out in Uganda by Castellani, Bruce, Nabarro and others.' While there is no question of the importance of their elucidation of the relation between the disease, the parasite and the vector, by clinical, laboratory, and fi...
