    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2004-09-30) SPADA, Aline; BURIM, Livia Giacon; RABELO, Raimundo Nonato
    Lyme disease is a zoonosis caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi that is transmitted by the tick Ixodid. It shows multisystemic signs in the dog, but the main report is lameness, due to polyarthritis. Its diagnosis of choice is the enzyme immunoassay, indirect ELISA along with clinical signs. Prophylaxis consists of avoiding contact with the tick in endemic areas and in these regions it is also possible to institute the use of the vaccine. Affected animals are treated with antibiotic therapy.

    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2001-11-30) SANTANA, Rosana B.; SCHEFFAUER, Juliana; SPADA, Aline; BARROS, Michelle A. de; BONJORNO, Fernando; HUCKE, Erica Elgelberg Teixeira da Silva; FELICIO, Luciano F.
    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.
