The “Mata Atlântica Yearbook” is a permanent program of the Mata Atlântica Biosphere Reserve, created in 1999 with the aim to consolidate, update and provide systematically and periodically information about the Mata Atlântica biome, in order to facilitate annual and multiannual comparisons on progress and challenges in the conservation, scientific and traditional knowledge and sustainable development in the forest, supporting projects and public policies. To develop this ongoing process of evaluating and monitoring the Mata Atlântica Yearbook Program from RBMA is based on the text and the goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity - CBD, adopted at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), Rio 92, where Brazil was the first signatory. The convention, which represents the most comprehensive and important commitment on a global scale for the conservation, sustainable use and sharing of benefits of biodiversity, is governed by the so-called Conference of the Parties (Conference of the Parties - COP) that brings together all signatory countries , meeting every two years. At the meeting of the COP 10 held in Japan in 2010, in Nagoya, Aichi province, it was approved a Strategic Plan defining five goals and 20 targets, called Aichi Targets to be accomplished by all countries by 2020. Each country should adapt them to their national realities and establish their own targets. The hope is to obtain a comparative evolutive data in a planetary scale of the implementation of the Convention of Biological Diversity. Among these targets is, for example, a commitment that by 2020 all countries have, at least, 17% of its land area and inland waters and 10% of coastal and marine areas preserved by Protected Areas effectively implemented. Other targets, for example, are focused on the sustainable use of fisheries resources, protection of endangered species, invasive species control and restoration of degraded areas. The plan also states that these targets should be implemented and monitored in a participatory way. Yearbook Mata Atlântica 2012 - 3 Thus, from the Nagoya Conference, the RBMA has To develop this study, the National Council of RBMA determined that the main focus of its Mata Atlântica with the collaboration of 43 focal points in the Yearbook Program would be the monitoring and 17 states covered the RBMA Network, involving dissemination of results of compliance or not, of the members of the RBMA State Committees, Regional Aichi Targets - CBD 2020 in the richest and one of Collegiate and specialized consultants in several the most threatened Brazilian biomes. themes.

A single malaria infection was symptomatic and the monkey presented clinical and haematological alterations. A high frequency of Plasmodium vivax-specific antibodies was detected among these monkeys, with 87% of the monkeys testing positive against P. vivax antigens. These findings highlight the possibility of malaria as a zoonosis in the remaining Atlantic Forest and its impact on the epidemiology of the disease.

Independent of host, infections present with the same symptoms. However, based on host specificity, Giardia isolates have been grouped into genotypes A to G. Parasites of assemblage A and B are known to infect humans, in addition to primates and a wide variety of mammals. In Brazil, hitherto Giardia genotypes were defined only for humans and domestic animals. To evaluate the genotypes of different Giardia present among other animals, fecal samples from 28 Southern Brown Howler Monkeys (Alouatta clamitans)keptin captivity from South Brazil were screened for G. duodenalis using parasitological methods. All of them were asymptomatic, but positive for Giardia.

Mortality is undesirable for wildlife management programs and could be related to opportunistic pathogens, for example, deaths due to intestinal protozoa infection outbreaks as described here. Parasitological, necroscopic, microbiological, and molecular tests were used in the diagnosis of severe necrotic enteritis leading to death of three female and two male black howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) captured and held in quarantine prior to translocation. Parasitological tests showed the presence of cysts of Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (5/5), Entamoeba coli (5/5) and Giardia duodenalis (1/5).

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the positivity rate of Plasmodium infection in free-living howler monkeys in an Atlantic Forest fragment in Joinville/SC and to associate the infection with clinical, morphometrical, haematological and biochemical alterations. METHODS Molecular diagnosis of Plasmodium infection in the captured monkeys was performed by Nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (18S rRNA and coxI). Haematological and biochemical parameters were compared among infected and uninfected monkeys; clinical and morphometrical parameters were also compared. FINDINGS The positivity rate of Plasmodium infection was 70% among forty captured animals, the highest reported for neotropical primates.
