    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) CARRARI, Marieli de Fátima; FRAÇOSO, Isabela Cristina; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    Heartworm is a disease transmitted by mosquito vectors (Aedes spp, Anopheles spp, Culex spp), which release parasites into the bloodstream. Transmission occurs when a mosquito ingests microfilariae from an infected animal, either by blood transfusion or transplacentally. Its habitat is the pulmonary arteries and the right ventricle. The main host is dogs, and cats have greater resistance to the disease. Heartworm is a zoonosis, therefore, in humans this parasite causes pulmonary heartworm, characterized by the presence of a solitary benign nodule in the lung. Clinical signs vary in duration and severity of infection. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs of cardiovascular dysfunction and demonstration of microfilariae in the blood. The objective of this work is to transmit knowledge about the importance and risks that can be caused by mosquitoes that carry heartworm disease.

    Esporotricose em felinos: revisão de literatura
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) FRANÇOSO, Isabela Cristina; CARRARI, Marieli de Fátima; RODRIGUES, Tais das Flores; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    Sporotrichosis is an infectious fungal disease caused by a complex of dimorphic and geological fungi of the Sporothrix spp. It presents in lymphatic cutaneous, fixed cutaneous, disseminated cutaneous and sometimes extracutaneous forms. It has a zoonotic character, in which domestic cats are identified as an important source of infection. Other forms of contagion include the traumatic inoculation of the agent during handling of contaminated soil, vegetables and organic matter. The recommended treatment is with antifungals, especially itraconazole. Currently, it is considered an emerging zoonosis of public health risk, in Brazil several occurrences have been reported in animals and humans, mainly in the South and Southeast regions. The objective of this work is to transmit knowledge about the importance and risks that can be caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii in domestic cats.
