    Giardia is a protozoan that affects several animal species including man. It is transmitted through contaminated water and food containing cysts, through fecal and oral means, direct animal-animal contact, where animals are clustered. This parasite causes poor digestion of nutrients, pale and fetid stools, steatorrhea, chronic diarrhea, weight loss or small weight gain. In this work, the incidence of giardiasis in dogs treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos was verified. Of the 981 dogs treated from April 2008 to April 2009, 26 had canine giardiasis. The present study found that females were the most affected and the highest incidence was in adult dogs. In relation to the period of the year, autumn had a higher number of diagnoses, due to the average temperature in this season varying according to the region of the country.

    Síndrome da imunodeficiência felina
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2009-09-30) CARLOS, Camila Zeferino; NUNES, Poliana Ferraz; SILVA, Tainá da; SILVA, Angélica do Rocio Carvalho
    Feline immunodeficiency is a viral disease that affects domestic and wild felines. It is transmitted by cat bites, through the placenta, collective use of food containers, mutual licking and blood transfusion. The disease leads to a progressive loss of immunological activity, which is associated with secondary infections, such as stomatitis, chronic gingivitis, respiratory diseases and, less frequently, chronic diarrhea and dermatopathy, but often infected animals are asymptomatic. This disease decreases the animals' quality of life, can be transmitted by apparently healthy animals and has no cure. For these reasons, prophylactic measures such as neutering male cats should be used to reduce wandering and fighting; keep animals indoors when possible and do not expose them to newly adopted cats.
