Levantamento das principais alterações morfológicas em primatas não-humanos necropsiados na Baixada Cuiabana de Mato Grosso

Abstract

This work describes the main morphological changes found in Non-Human Primates (PNH's) necropsied at theVeterinary Pathology Laboratory (LPV), at the Veterinary Hospital (HOVET) of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. Between January 2017 and December 2018, 74 carcasses of PNH's were received, sent by the Zoonosis Surveillance Unit (UVZ) - Cuiabá - MT, of these 57 had conditions for morphological evaluation and 17 presented significant post-mortem changes (autolysis). Among the main morphological changes, traumatic ones (28/52; 53.84%) stand out, followed by inflammatory ones (23/52; 44.23%) of these seven were associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection. In 8.77% of the carcasses evaluated, no significant morphological changes were noted. During this study, there were no morphological changes associated with the Flavivirus that causes Yellow Fever (AF).
