Resumo. A migração forçada no Oriente Médio é uma das pautas mais subestimadas por grande parte da imprensa ocidental, ainda que suas estatísticas e impactos tenham refletido no aumento da população que demanda ajuda humanitária e dificultado a elas a garantia dos direitos humanos e civis. Com foco na temática do refúgio, especialmente na Turquia, país com o maior número de refugiados no mundo, e o Líbano, com a maior população de imigrantes per capita, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de identificar como o jornalismo humanitário pode se apresentar como uma alternativa à cobertura factual da editoria de internacional, garantindo uma atuação jornalística que acompanhe o ciclo de vida do refúgio, retire da opacidade a consequente violação de direitos humanos dos migrantes e refugiados e contribua para a formação de uma opinião pública capaz de cobrar políticas humanitárias. A metodologia compreende a análise quantitativa da cobertura de três grandes jornais brasileiros, Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo e O Globo.

Abstract. Forced migration in the Middle East has been one of the most underestimated agendas by the Western mainstream media, although human mobility statistics in the region have risen significantly in recent years, also increasing the number of people demanding humanitarian assistance and hindering their human and civil rights guarantees. Focusing on refuge, especially in Turkey, the country with the largest number of refugees in the world, and Lebanon, the one with the highest rate of migrants per capita, this paper aims to identify how humanitarian journalism may be an alternative to the traditional factual coverage, assuring a journalistic practice able to follow the refuge’s cycle, remove human violations of migrants and refugees from opacity and contribute to build a public opinion capable of pressuring for humanitarian policies. The methodology comprises a quantitative coverage analysis of the three most important Brazilian newspapers, Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo e O Globo.

ABSTRACT Psittacine birds have been identified as reservoirs of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, a subset of pathogens associated with mortality of children in tropical countries. The role of other orders of birds as source of infection is unclear. The aim of this study was to perform the molecular diagnosis of infection with diarrheagenic E. coli in 10 different orders of captive wild birds in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Fecal samples were analyzed from 516 birds belonging to 10 orders: Accipitriformes, Anseriformes, Columbiformes, Falconiformes, Galliformes, Passeriformes, Pelecaniformes, Piciformes, Psittaciformes and Strigiformes. After isolation, 401 E. coli strains were subjected to multiplex PCR system with amplification of genes eae and bfp (EPEC), stx1 and stx2 for STEC. The results of these tests revealed 23/401 (5.74%) positive strains for eae gene, 16/401 positive strains for the bfp gene (3.99%) and 3/401 positive for stx2 gene (0.75%) distributed among the orders of Psittaciformes, Strigiformes and Columbiformes. None of strains were positive for stx1 gene. These data reveal the infection by STEC, typical and atypical EPEC in captive birds. The frequency of these pathotypes is low and restricted to few orders, but the data suggest the potential public health risk that these birds represent as reservoirs of diarrheagenic E. coli.
