    The Reproductive Experience (RE) in females. i.e. pregnancy, childbirth and lactation influence various endocrine, neurochemical and behavioral functions. Thus, the reduction in circulating levels of prolactin led to the discovery of changes in central dopaminergic and serotonergic systems. These modifications result, for example, in the increase of stereotypy induced by a dopaminergic agonist, reduced sensitivity to dopaminergic antagonists, reduced motor activity of the animal and central neurochemical responses. Maternal behavior and the acquisition of reference and operational memory can also be modified according to RE. Thus, the objective of the present study is to observe the influences of RE in rats.

    Mormo nos animais domésticos
    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2001-11-30) BONJORNO, Fernando; JACOBUCCI, Daniela Franco Carvalho
    A new focus of glanders was diagnosed in horses in the states of Pernambuco and Alagoas, Brazil in 2000, through the isolation of the bacteria Burkholderia mallei in a mucopurulent exudate. Dandruff is a very infectious disease found in horses, mules and monkeys, which can be transmitted to humans. The acute form is characterized by fever and septicemia, leading the animal to death in a few days. Chronic disease can occur in horses with ulcerative nodules on the skin and nodules on the lungs and nasal cavity. Treatment is based on antibiotics such as aminoglycosides.
