Entre as penas desses hospedeiros, vive a mosca chamada </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Pseudolynchia canariensis </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">(Diptera: Hippoboscidae), um inseto hematófago que pode albergar micro-organismos patogênicos ao homem. O objetivo deste estudo foi pesquisar a flora normal associada à </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">P. canariensis </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">coletada em pombos urbanos encontrados nos prédios da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). Foram capturados 30 pombos, dos quais foram coletados </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">P. canariensis</span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">. Foi realizada pesquisa para isolamento de bactérias e fungos das pernas e peças bucais dos insetos. Grande número de espécies de microorganismos foi detectado, algumas delas patogênicas aos seres humanos, como as bactérias </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Escherichia coli</span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">, </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Streptococcus</span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">, </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Staphylococcus</span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">, </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Pseudomonas </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">e </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Bacillus </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">spp e os fungos </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Aspergillus </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">sp.</span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">, Candida parapsilosis, Fusarium </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">sp.</span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">, Penicillium </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">sp. e </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">Trichophyton </span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">sp. Pela primeira vez se descreve a presença desses microorganismos associadas aos pombos domésticos e seus ectoparasitas, sugerindo risco às pessoas que frequentam os prédios da UFTM, visto que os pombos, bem como a </span></span><em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,BoldItalic;">P. canariensis</span></span></em><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Calibri,Bold;">, podem ser fontes de agentes infecciosos.</span></span></p></span></span>
