TL;DR: In this paper, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of PVA hydrogel samples showed the absorption regions of the specific chemical groups associated with poly(vinyl alcohol) (-OH, -CO, -CH2) and PVA/GA confirming the formation of crosslinked hydrogels (duplet -CH).

TL;DR: Maned wolves are more exposed to helminths than crab-eating foxes, with a higher prevalence of Trichuridae and Ancylostomidae in the area, and exposure to canine coronavirus is reported for the first time.

TL;DR: To identify the suspected disease agent (members of the species Bluetongue virus or Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus) and confirm the EHDV serogroup, virus isolation and reverse transcription PCR on tissues (heart, liver, lung, and bowel) from the pygmy brocket deer were performed.

TL;DR: The favorable environmental conditions to development of BTV vectors, and the bovine reproductive disorders reported by farmers may indicate that BTV infection occurrs in herds of Brazilian Pantanal, and probably induces to economical losses.

TL;DR: Seroconversion following the decline in maternal antibodies occurred at a later stage on SS farms (grower pigs) than MS farms (nursery pigs), and MS farms tended to have lower antibody titers than SS farms in the categories of sow, piglet, and nursery, while higher antibodies were found in grower pigs.
