Among the many plagues which attack worldwide fruit culture, the fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) stand out for being present in all continents, and in practically all types of environment, being thus great hinderers of worldwide fruit production. In the Amazonian region, 5 species are already known in Acre, 28 in Amazonas, 22 in Amapá. 20 in Pará, 5 in Rondônia, 13 in Roraima and 16 in Tocantins, belonging to the genera Anastrepha, Bactrocera and Ceratitis./nThe state of Pará presents great d ...

Agriculture is responsible for about 30% of the Brazilian Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and some of the challenges of the sector include: reducing production costs, increasing productivity and minimizing environmental impacts. In this scenario, the adoption of inoculants based on the process of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is quite welcome, once it is the only natural biological process of obtaining nitrogen, in contrast with the use of nitrogen fertilizers that release about a ton of gree

Mastitis, a disease that affects dairy herds worldwide and causes huge economic losses to the Brazilian dairy sector has the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria as one of the major etiologic agents. S. aureus is an infectious pathogen, which can be isolated from clinical infections, but is most often associated with chronic and subclinical mastitis, with an augmentation of the somatic cell count (SCC) in milk. This pathogen has several virulence factors, which are important in the bac

Considered the largest reserve of biological diversity in the world, the Amazon is also the largest Brazilian biome in extension, occupying almost half of the national territory (49.3%). Based on its unique characteristics and vulnerability, the need to strengthen productive activities that combine income improvement, social inclusion and proper use of its natural resources becomes increasingly clear. Among its main economic activities, the growth of agriculture in the Legal Amazon has been quit

The limited knowledge concerning the diversity of species of fruit fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae), on top of the reduced number of researchers working on this biological group in the Amazon region, has motivated the structuring of the Amazonian Network of Fruit Fly Research, a project financed by Embrapa (Call 05/2006 - "Agrofuturo"; SEG code 02.06.05.003), for the period of 36 months (August/2007 to July/2010). The Network has Embrapa Amapá as executing institution and gathers researcher
