RESUMO
The sucking insect, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), is originally from Australia and reduces the productivity of Eucalyptus crops. The parasitoid Psyllaephagus bliteus Riek (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) is the main agent used in the integrated management of G. brimblecombei. Endosymbionts, in insects, are important in the adaptation and protection of their hosts to the environment. The intracellular symbionts Wolbachia, induces reproductive changes such as cytoplasmic incompatibility, feminization, male death and parthenogenesis. The objective of this study was to report the first record of Wolbachia pipientis in populations of G. brimblecombei and of its parasitoid P. bliteus in the field in Brazil. Branches with adults of G. brimblecombei and P. bliteus were collected from eucalyptus trees in commercial farms in six Brazilian states and, after emergence, the insects obtained were frozen at -20 °C. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the Wolbachia endosymbiont. Wolbachia pipientis was identified in individuals of G. brimblecombei and its parasitoid P. bliteus from populations of the counties of Agudos and Mogi-Guaçu (São Paulo State), Itamarandiba (Minas Gerais State) and São Jerônimo da Serra (Paraná State) in Brazil.

Endosymbiont bacteria can affect biological parameters and reduce the effectiveness of natural enemies in controlling the target insect. The objective of this work was to identify endosymbiont bacteria in Anaphes nitens (Girault, 1928) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), the main natural enemy used to manage Gonipterus platensis (Marelli, 1926) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Genomic DNA from six A. nitens populations was extracted and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were performed with the primers to detect endosymbiont bacteria in this insect. The PCR products were amplified, sequenced, and compared with sequences deposited in the GenBank for the bacteria identification. All A. nitens populations had the bacterium Yersinia massiliensis (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae). This bacterium was originally described as free-living, and it is associated with and composes part of the A. nitens microbiota. This is the first report of Y. massiliensis in an insect host.

RESUMO
The purpose of this overview was to assess different antibiotic regimens used in orthognathic surgery and to establish an evidence-based protocol so that beneficial and adverse effects can be determined. A comprehensive literature search for systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses was conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library until March 2020. Grey literature was investigated in Google Scholar, and a manual search was done of references lists. Two meta-analyses and four systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. The AMSTAR-2-tool was used to ascertain the potential risk of bias in the included studies, which presented moderate to high methodological quality. Lower infection rates were associated with long-term therapies of penicillin, cefazolin-cephalexin, and amoxicillin-clavulanic-acid, with rates varying from 0% - 3.13%. Higher rates were reported in placebo groups (52.6%) and short-term penicillin therapy (60%). Side effects were reported with cefazolin, clindamycin, and penicillin therapies, including nausea, pain, swelling, headache, vomiting, and skin rash. Evidence suggests that long-term antibiotics can reduce the risk of a surgical site infection (SSI) in orthognathic surgery, but there is uncertainty regarding the effects of one dose of antibiotics preoperatively versus short-term antibiotics. In the same way, intravenous penicillin, cefazolin, clindamycin, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid kept the infection rates associated with bimaxillary procedures under 3.5%.

The potential of the parasitoid Psyllaephagus bliteus Riek for the biological control of the eucalyptus pest Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) nymphs is high. This research sought to analyze the courtship, male competition, and mating behavior of P. bliteus at the proportions of 1:1 and 2:1 males to female in a Petri dish (5 cm diameter), and to describe the ovary histology of virgin and mated females of this parasitoid. At 1:1, males touch the antennae and thorax-abdomen of females during courtship, but females avoid mate attempts before they are 48 h old. At 2:1, the competition between male parasitoids inhibits mating. The histology of ovaries of virgin and mated P. bliteus females is similar, with two well-defined germarium and vitellarium regions, with oocytes at different developmental stages, including mature ones rich in yolk and with eggshell. A clearer understanding of the reproductive behavior and histology of P. bliteus aids in the use of this parasitoid for the biological control of G. brimblecombei.

INTRODUCTION: Aneurysms, described in pediatric AIDS, are related with bad prognosis with high mortality in 5 months. The twenty reports found in literature were considered late (mean age 9.97 years old) and associated with severe immunological involvement. The mean CD-4 count was 79.17 cells and mean viral load 222,662 copies/mL. Some authors consider this complication associated to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), to an opportunistic agent (citomegalovirus and Mycobacterium avium) or due to inflammatory mechanisms related with the immunological improvement. CASE REPORT: This paper present a 9 years old girl with severe AIDS (C-3) and with transient amaurosis related to transient ischemic attacks on ophthalmic artery during her immunological improvement on viral load and CD-4 counts. Necropsy showed aneurysm due to atypical micobateriosis. CONCLUSION: This report highlights the occurrence of this rare but severe HIV complication witch was associated with an opportunistic etiology during an immunological recovery, when inflammatory mediators could play a role.

Introducción. Los aneurismas descritos en el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (sida) pediátrico indican un mal pronóstico, con una supervivencia de 5,5 meses. De los 20 casos encontrados en la literatura, su presentación es tardía (edad media de 9,97 años) y está asociada a una infección grave por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) con un bajo recuento de CD-4 (media de 79,17 células) y elevados niveles de carga viral (media de 222.662 copias/mL). Algunos autores consideran el aneurisma resultado de la acción del propio VIH, de un agente oportunista (citomegalovirus o Mycobacterium avium) o de los mecanismos inflamatorios relacionados con la recuperación inmunológica. Caso clínico. Presentamos a una niña de 9 años de edad, sida C-3, en recuperación de sus niveles de CD-4 y carga viral, con amaurosis fugaz como consecuencia de isquemias transitorias en el área de la arteria oftálmica. La necropsia puso de manifiesto una lesión aneurismática secundaria a una micobacteria atípica. Conclusión. La descripción llama la atención sobre esa complicación poco frecuente, pero relacionada con un mal pronóstico, y remarca la importancia de considerar un agente oportunista asociado a la rápida recuperación inmunológica como etiología del proceso

We studied the clinical records of 280 patients admitted to our Hospital between 1985 and 1988, with a positive Elisa test for HIV-related antibodies: 15.71% (44) of these patients exhibited clinical abnormalities related to disease of the CNS. In 6 (13.6%) patients the neurological complication was the first manifestation of HIV-infection. Patients were mainly male homosexuals, in the 30-39 age range. Frequent chief complaints included hemiparesis, headache and behavior disturbances. Cerebral toxoplasmosis was diagnosed in 18 instances. It should be considered the first diagnostic possibility in patients presenting with mass lesions. Meningeal infections were present in 19 cases (cryptococcal in 13, tuberculous in 4, HIV-related in 2). CSF findings in these patients were non specific, except for demonstration of Cryptococcus neoformans on direct examination of CSF or culture studies. CT scans frequently displayed unique or multiple hypodense lesions. The lesions exhibited ring-enhancement in 7 instances, and were non-enhancing in 8 others. Cortical and subcortical atrophy with hydrocephalus ex-vacuum were occasionally found, and the CT scans were normal in 8 instances. Time from appearance of the various neurological complications to death or clinical resolution was almost always shorter than 6 months. Death was the most frequent outcome, usually occurring within 6 months. Survival in the most of these patients never reached the end of the first year.
