ABSTRACT

An increasingly asked question is 'can we confidently link bats with emerging viruses?'. No, or not yet, is the qualified answer based on the evidence available. Although more than 200 viruses - some of them deadly zoonotic viruses - have been isolated from or otherwise detected in bats, the supposed connections between bats, bat viruses and human diseases have been raised more on speculation than on evidence supporting their direct or indirect roles in the epidemiology of diseases (except for rabies). However, we are convinced that the evidence points in that direction and that at some point it will be proved that bats are competent hosts for at least a few zoonotic viruses. In this review, we cover aspects of bat biology, ecology and evolution that might be relevant in medical investigations and we provide a historical synthesis of some disease outbreaks causally linked to bats. We provide evolutionary-based hypotheses to tentatively explain the viral transmission route through mammalian intermediate hosts and to explain the geographic concentration of most outbreaks, but both are no more than speculations that still require formal assessment.

ABSTRACT

Avaliaram-se o teor de ácido linoléico conjugado (CLA) e o perfil de ácidos graxos no músculo e na capa de gordura de novilhos bubalinos alimentados com diferentes fontes de lipídios. Utilizaram-se 12 animais castrados, da raça Murrah, com peso vivo de 306±8kg, submetidos aos tratamentos sem lipídeo adicional, grão de soja e óleo de soja, confinados durante 84 dias. Após o abate a carcaça foi resfriada a 5ºC, durante 24 horas. Foi feita secção entre a nona e a 11ª costelas da meia carcaça direita, de onde se separou músculo e capa de gordura, analisadas as concentrações de CLA e de ácidos graxos, por cromatografia gasosa. O fornecimento de óleo de soja resultou em maior concentração de CLA no músculo e na capa de gordura, e a adição de óleo de soja menores concentrações de ácidos graxos saturados, principalmente os ácidos mirístico e palmítico. Os animais que receberam a dieta com grão de soja integral também apresentaram menor teor de CLA e redução nas concentrações de mirístico e palmítico. Esses efeitos foram observados somente na capa de gordura e em menor intensidade.


The effect of different fat sources on fatty acid concentrations in the muscle and in the fat layer of water buffalo steers was studied. Twelve water buffalo steers weighting 306±8kg, fed without additional fat, soybean grain or soybean oil and confined during 84 days were used. The animals were slaughtered after 16-hours-fasting and the carcass was cooled at 5ºC, for 24 hours. A section was extracted between 9th and 11th ribs from the right half carcass and this section was separated in bone, muscle and fat layer. In the last two fractions, the fatty acids, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), were quantified by gaseous chromatography. The soybean oil provided higher CLA concentrations in the steers muscle and fat layer. Moreover, the soybean oil inclusion promoted lower saturated fatty acids contents, mainly miristic and palmitic acids. There was also increase in CLA concentrations and decrease in miristic and palmitic acids contents in the fat layer of the animals fed soybean grain diet. However, these effects were more moderate than those observed for the diet with soybean oil.

ABSTRACT

Avaliaram-se os efeitos dos níveis de ácido linoléico na dieta de matrizes pesadas, de 27 a 40 semanas de idade, sobre o peso e composição dos ovos, porcentagem de eclosão, peso do pinto, porcentagem de saco vitelino em relação ao peso do pinto e composição de ácidos graxos da gema. Os tratamentos foram definidos pelo nível de ácido linoléico na dieta. O peso dos ovos e a composição de ácidos linoléico na gema foram mais altos com a inclusão de 1,93 por cento de ácido linoléico que a de 1,48 por cento (59,5g vs 59,0g e 19,5 por cento vs 15,5 por cento, respectivamente). Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos quanto às porcentagens de gema, albúmen, casca, saco vitelino, eclosão e peso do pinto.


The effect of diet linoleic acid level on egg weight, egg composition, hatchability, chick weight, yolk sac percentage relative to chick weight and yolk fatty acid composition of broiler breeders Ross 305, from 27 to 40 weeks of age, were evaluated using two diets with two levels of linoleic acid. Egg weight and linoleic acid yolk composition were higher for diet with 1.93 percent of linoleic acid than for diet with 1.48 percent (59.5g vs 59.0g and 19.5 percent vs 15.5 percent, respectively). No linoleic acid effects on yolk, albumen, egg shell, yolk sac percentage and hatchability and chick weight were observed.

ABSTRACT

O papel do ácido linoleico (AL) na progressão da insuficiência renal crônica (IRC), ainda é controverso. Assim, realizamos estudo em ratos Wistar machos submetidos à redução de 5/6 da massa renal (R) e controles não operados (C) que foram alimentados com dieta rica (O) ou normal (M) em AL por 60 dias, iniciada 10 dias após cirurgia...O índice de esclerose glomerular (IRG) tendeu a ser menor no grupo RO = 27% comparado com RM = 38%. Estes dados sugerem que o conteúdo de AL da dieta poderia modificar a progressão da IRC através de alterações no perfil lipídico
