Abstact: Pythiosis is a granulomatous disease that primarily affects the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues in domestic animals, wildlife, and humans. The present study aimed to determine the occurrence of Pythium insidiosum infection in horses, using fungal culture, isolation, and phenotypic identification in horses from the Baixada
Maranhense region – MA and neighboring municipalities. Samples were collected from 23 horses showing clinical signs characteristic of pythiosis from the following municipalities in the Baixada Maranhense: Arari, Pedro do Rosário, Penalva, Pinheiro, São João Batista, São Vicente, and Viana, in addition to collections in nearby municipalities: Itapecuru-Mirim and Matões do Norte. The animals presented ulcerative
lesions with a granulomatous appearance, serosanguineous exudate, and the presence of small firm yellowish granules known as kunkers. Material was obtained through tissue biopsy or fragments of kunkers, stored in sterile universal collectors with caps containing 0.9% saline solution, and transported under refrigeration to the
Mycology Laboratory of UEMA. The samples were washed with antibiotic and 0.9% saline solution and inoculated onto Yeast Extract Agar, then incubated at 37ºC in an oven for two to five days. After the incubation period, seven samples presented colonies with a membranous appearance, smooth and slightly viscous texture, exhibiting a uniform cream coloration. The colonies displayed rapid growth, covering the surface of the culture medium with robust and well-defined mycelial development, forming slightly irregular and raised edges. Microscopically, the colonies revealed hyaline, aseptate or sparsely septate hyphae with a large diameter, sparsely separated, with branching at acute angles, irregular, and distinguished by the absence of transverse divisions—a typical characteristic of certain pathogenic organisms such as P. insidiosum. These results highlight the importance of early and accurate diagnosis for controlling pythiosis, a disease with a significant impact on animal health, especially in endemic regions such as the Baixada Maranhense. The identification and isolation of the pathogen in horses reinforce the need for continuous surveillance and management strategies that can mitigate the effects of this disease in affected animals2026-07-01T00:00:00ZErliquiose: Aspectos preditivos e análise de correspondência de casos em cães atendidoshttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/63662026-08-06T17:01:06Z2026-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo: Erliquiose: Aspectos preditivos e análise de correspondência de casos em cães atendidos
Abstact: Canine ehrlichiosis is an infectious disease affecting dogs with a wide geographic distribution.
It is mainly caused by the bacterium Ehrlichia canis and transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus
sanguineus. This hemoparasitosis is one of the most important in small animal clinics due to
its high prevalence, variety of clinical manifestations, and ability to cause significant
hematological alterations. The objective of this study was to examine the predictive factors
and the relationship between clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory variables in cases of
ehrlichiosis in dogs treated at a University Veterinary Hospital. This is a retrospective,
descriptive, and documentary study with a quantitative approach, based on the evaluation of
clinical records of dogs diagnosed with ehrlichiosis throughout the study period. Data
included information on age, sex, breed, origin, clinical symptoms, blood count alterations,
and results of complementary examinations of the dogs treated at a University Veterinary
Hospital. Correspondence analysis made it possible to identify links between certain clinical
manifestations and laboratory variations, helping to understand the epidemiological patterns

Abstact: The Baixada Maranhense is a micro-region with unique geographical and biological
characteristics, standing out in the state of Maranhão for its seasonally flooded fields, and for
the presence of animals adapted to this environment. The pig known as “lowland”, is
endowed with great rusticity and adaptability to the conditions in which it is disposed, making
it an animal of easy handling, thus enabling its creation in an ultra-extensive way. In Baixada,
the creation of pigs is very present, serving as a source of income for many families, in
addition to serving, in some cases, only food for the breeders themselves and their families. In
view of this, the present study aimed to carry out a socioeconomic survey of swine farming in
two municipalities in the Baixada, São Bento and Bequimão, in order to observe more deeply
how the creation of this animal resource is carried out, taking into account factors such as
sanitary management and feed these animals, for example. During the development of the
research, visits were made to pig breeding retreats in the aforementioned municipalities, in
order to observe the reality surrounding the pig breeding activity. During the visits, a semiopen
questionnaire was applied, with the intention of evaluating how the swine activity is
carried out in the municipalities. There was a predominance of traditional, low-tech pig
farming, basically endowed with the application of common sense knowledge on how to carry
out animal husbandry. Therefore, the pig farming in the municipalities of São Bento and
Bequimão have several characteristics in common, each with its own particularities, but
which configure an extractive activity that is, for the most part, subsistence2021-03-12T00:00:00ZMetodologias alternativas no ensino de técnicas cirúrgicas durante a pandemia do Covid-19https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/58142026-07-10T14:34:08Z2021-07-28T00:00:00ZTítulo: Metodologias alternativas no ensino de técnicas cirúrgicas durante a pandemia do Covid-19
Abstact: The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped teaching-learning conditions, requiring students and
education professionals to make various adjustments. The development of methodologies
capable of replacing the traditional model of teaching surgical technique has become essential
so that the training of academics is not outdated and incomplete in a pandemic moment. The
work aimed to propose active teaching-learning methodologies in emergency remote teaching,
in the discipline of Surgical Techniques, of the Veterinary Medicine course at the State
University of Maranhão, evaluating their impact on the training of students. To evaluate the
methodology used, a quantitative survey was carried out, virtually, through the Google Forms
application, between april and july 2021. The results showed that the methodology applied in
this study was fully accepted by 69.2% and partially by 23.1% of the students, indicating a
good adaptation. Among the resources used in the discipline, the ones with the highest
percentage of appreciation were: the forwarding of videos with didactic demonstration of the
techniques presented (76.9%) and monitoring by the teacher via WhatsApp (96.2%); real-time
monitoring of patients (84.6%); training in maneuvers and techniques on cadavers (72.7%).
From the practices in the veterinary hospital, 50% of the students indicated they had greater
confidence in performing the techniques presented and, after training on cadavers, 63.6% of
the participants felt more skillful and confident in relation to the maneuvers presented. We
conclude that the emergency adaptation of the Surgical Techniques discipline allows students
to have adequate contact with the programmed contents, without loss in the execution of the
pedagogical project. It is possible to adapt the theoretical classes, in a virtual environment,
evaluations and practical classes with reduced occupancy and respecting the regulations
incited by the pandemic of COVID-19, so that learning would not be compromised with the
sudden change in the implemented methodology.2021-07-28T00:00:00Z
