The objective of this work was to evaluate the genetic variability of ostrich populations (Struthio camelus) through RAPD markers (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). 121 samples of individuals were used from Pará, Maranhão, Tocantins and Minas Gerais States. The genomic DNA was extracted from total blood. Fifteen primers were selected among the 60. The products of the PCR were visualized in agarose gel 1.5% and, a binary matrix was generated considering the presence (1) of a amplified fragment and its absence (0). The ideal number of polymorphic bands was estimated through the bootstrap analysis using the GQMOL software. The genetic similarity was estimated through the Jaccard coefficient using the NTSYS-PC (Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis System) software, version 2.02. The origin of the genetic diversity was quantified by the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) using the Arlequin 2,0 software. The 15 primers generated a total of 109 polymorphic bands and the bootstrap analysis showed that at least 100 bands is the ideal number for sampling the genetic diversity, as determined by the high value of correlation (r=0,99), the low value of the squared deviation sum (1,25), and the low stress (0,05). The results suggest that the studied populations are from the same origin. Management measures must be adopted in these breeding, even using other molecular markers in the way to amplify the genetic variability and the conservation of this important genetic resource. RAPD.The bootstrap analysis showed that from 100 bands the work already becomes more trustworthy, a time that the magnitude of the correlation was well next to the maximum value (r=0,99), as also the addition of squares of shunting lines (SQd) reached low value 1,25 and the value of it estresse (e) was of 0,05. In the analysis between pairs of groups, it was verified that the greater and minor similarity are in lathe, respectively, of 0,86 and 0,00. In that it says respect to the distribution of frequency of the similarities gotten between the 5,644 pairs formed in the genetic matrix, it can be verified that 32,69 % of the pairs had been enclosed in the classrooms with similarities varying of 0,01 the 0,10. One notices that the biggest percentage (85,59%) of the pairs was distributed in the three first classrooms of the extremities and that the minority of them (14,41%) presented similarities varying of 0,21 the 1,00. The test of Mantel showed correlation of 0,81 and the dendrograma generated 67 groups delimited for the Sm that was of 0,49. The biggest 0,86 similarity was of and the minor of 0,06. The relative data to the analysis of molecular variance had shown that the percentage of genetic variation between origins was low and significant (24,03%, p < 0,0001), evidencing that great part of the variation meets inside of the populations (75,97 %). markers RAPD they had been efficient in the characterization of the genetic similarity.

Gastrointestinal nematodes in ostriches, Struthio camelus, in different regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) EDERLI, Nicole Brand; OLIVEIRA, Francisco Carlos Rodrigues de
The ratite group is composed of ostriches, rheas, emus, cassowaries and kiwis. Little research has been done on parasitism in these birds. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of infections by gastrointestinal nematodes in ostriches in the state of Rio de Janeiro. For this, fecal samples were collected from 192 on 13 farms. From each sample, four grams of feces were used to determine the eggs per gram of feces (EPG) count, by means of the McMaster technique. Part of the feces sample was used for fecal cultures, to identify 100 larvae per sample. The results were subjected to descriptive central trend and dispersion analysis, using confidence intervals at the 5% error probability level in accordance with the Student t distribution, and Tukey’s test with a 95% confidence interval. The mean EPG in the state was 1,557, and the municipality of Três Rios had the lowest average (62). The city of Campos dos Goytacazes presented the highest mean EPG of all the municipalities analyzed. The northern region presented the highest mean EPG, followed by the southern, metropolitan, coastal lowland and central regions. Libyostrongylus species were observed on all the farms: L. douglassii predominated, followed by L. dentatus and Codiostomum struthionis.
