ABSTRACT This article reports the first occurrence of the parasitoid Aphaereta sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on pupae of Sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). Bovine liver was used as bait to collect the insects. In the study, 37 pupae of S. lambens were obtained, three of which yielded the parasitoid Aphaereta sp. The prevalence of parasitism was 8.1%. sp Hymenoptera (Hymenoptera Braconidae Wiedemann (Wiedemann Diptera (Diptera Sarcophagidae. Sarcophagidae .

RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo é relatar a primeira ocorrência do parasitóide Aphaereta sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) como inimigo natural de Sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). Para coleta dos insetos foi utilizado como isca fígado bovino. Obtiveram-se 37 pupas de S. lambens, das quais, três originaram parasitóides pertencentes à espécie Aphaereta sp. A prevalência de parasitismo foi de 8,1%. sp Hymenoptera (Hymenoptera Braconidae Wiedemann (Wiedemann Diptera (Diptera Sarcophagidae. Sarcophagidae .

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fibrin adhesive made up of snake venom and bubaline fibrinogen by rat colon anastomosis. Eighty rats were randomly assigned into 2 experimental groups: GI control (anastomosis with extramucous interrupted suture) and GII (repair suture + fibrin glue). The animals were studied at the following 4 times: T0 – preoperative, T1 – 7th day postoperative, T2 – 14th day postoperative, and T3 – 21 st day postoperative. The macroscopic characteristics of the intestinal segment open and closed anastomosis and the bursting strength of the anastomosed segments were observed at each of the above times. The results showed that the anastomosed segments coapted and there was no difference in the bursting strength values between the 2 groups. There was a decrease in the bursting strength values up until the 7 th day postoperative in both groups with its progressive increase at the other times. Although important experimental studies using large animals are needed for a better evaluation of tissue repair processes, this adhesive may become a valuable tool for use in anastomosis.
