A retrospective analysis of parasitological test results in fecal samples was done.Samples were analyzed at the Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicineand Animal Science, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia between February 2008and March 2012. Out of 476 samples, 119 (25.0%) were positive to at least one parasitespecies. Among positive samples, 71.5, 20.3 and 8.1% corresponded to protozoa,nematodes and cestodes respectively where the most frequent species were Giardiacanis (37/119) and Isospora spp (37/119).

Se analizaron retrospectivamente los resultados de exámenes parasitológicos demuestras fecales de caninos en el Laboratorio de Parasitología de la Facultad de Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, entre febrero de 2008 y marzo de 2012. De un total de 476 muestras, 119 (25.0%) resultaron positivas para al menos un tipo de parásito. De las muestras positivas, el 71.5, 20.3 y 8.1% correspondieron a protozoos, nematodos y cestodos, respectivamente, siendo las especies de mayor frecuencia Giardia canis (37/119) e Isospora spp (37/119).

The thermal comfort of beef cattle in intensive finishing was assessed through the availability of shade and living space, in conditions of the very hot semi-dry climate of the northwestern coastal region of Mexico during autumn and winter and housed in three types of pens. The design of the pens varied according to the infrastructure available in the livestock production unit (pen area and shade per animal). The observation period was six weeks per season. The daily ambient temperature and relative humidity were measured, and the Temperature and Humidity Index (ITH) was calculated. The area of each pen, the shade area, and the number of cattle per pen were measured to calculate the living space and the shade available at the beginning and at the end of the fattening period. In autumn, the cattle were in a state of Danger to Emergency Thermal (ITH ≥84 units) and in the winter in a stat...

Background: Trichosporon fungaemia (TF) episodes have increased in recent years and mortality rates remain high despite the advances in the management of sepsis. New concepts about its clinical course, treatment and microbiology need to be investigated for the better management of this infection. Objectives: To describe the aetiology, natural history, clinical management and prognostic factors of TF. Methods: TF episodes documented between 2005 and 2018 in 23 South American centres were retrospectively investigated by using a standard clinical form. Molecular identification, antifungal susceptibility testing and biofilm production were also performed. Results: Eighty-eight TF episodes were studied. Patients had several underlying conditions, including haematological diseases (47.7%), post-operative status (34%), solid organ transplants (n = 7, 7.9%), among others. Seventy-three (82.9%) p...
