    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2022-09-09) CARVALHO, Bárbara; SILVA, Letícia Ellen; CELOTTI, Gustavo; PESSINATTI, Bárbara Dezotti
    Pythiosis is a disease that affects several species, however, equines are the most affected. It is caused by Phythium insidiosum, an oomycete that has tropism for swampy and hot areas, due to this, the incidence of the pathology is higher in regions and environments with the presence of water. It is characterized by ulcerative lesions of high proliferative power, intense pruritus and serosanguineous appearance. The definitive diagnosis is made through the clinical aspect and complementary exams, and its treatment can be carried out by chemical, surgical or immunotherapeutic methods, being evaluated the best for each case and, if necessary, associated. Through this work, it is proposed to report a case of pythiosis, with clinical resolution, in a horse treated at the Veterinary Hospital of UNIFEOB.

    Vírus da influenza aviária e seus impactos socioeconômicos
    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2023-10-18) CARVALHO, Bárbara; NUNES, Alanne Tenório
    Avian Influenza (AI) is characterized as a zoonosis and infectious disease of birds caused by the type A influenza virus. The high level of genetic recombination between members of the AI virus of this type allows gene permutations and causes the emergence of new virus strains. All types of H5N1 viruses have a row of basic amino acids at the hemagglutinin (HA) cleavage site and are fatal to chickens, generating systemic infections. Considering the relevance of this topic, the present work aimed to clarify the disease, its clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment, in addition to highlighting its economic repercussions. The results of the literature review demonstrate the need to employ biosafety measures in environments of poultry farms, so that Brazil maintains its status as an AI-free country for trade.
