This thesis deals with the rules of compensation for damage caused by wild animals and beasts and damage caused on wild animals and beasts in the Czech Republic. The main topic of the diploma thesis is the evaluation and analysis of current legislation. The work is divided into thirteen sections, when some of them are further divided into subsections. The main part consists of chapters 8 and 9, which deal with damages wildlife and further chapters 11 and 12, dealing with damages to animals. All chapters are based primarily on Act No. 449/2001 Coll., On hunting, as amended. Attention is mainly focused on the issue of compensation for damage caused by wild animals and beasts. Particularly with regard to the current bark beetle calamity that hit a large part of the territory of the Czech Republic, it appears this issue is highly topical.

The objective of this study was to use molecular biological reagents (primers targeting different genomic loci) and methods (PCR and RFLP) to detect and characterize trypanosomes in cattle, wild animals and tsetse flies in KwaZulu-Natal, thus contributing to improved understanding of the genetic diversity of trypanosome species infecting cattle at the game/livestock interface in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. Primers based on sequences of different loci in the trypanosome genome were used in conducting polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) on samples collected from cattle at 14 diptanks and one commercial farm around the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, wild animals within Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve and tsetse flies from the commercial farm, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve and two other Game Reserves. Trypanosome isolates were grown under laboratory conditions in cattle, rodents and culture medium for molecular characterizations. Overall, a total of 673 cattle, 266 tsetse flies, 141 buffaloes and 6 rhinoceros samples were analyzed. The following observations were made: two species of trypanosomes are present in KZN; T.congolense and T. vivax. The two species were found as single and as mixed infections in cattle. There are two genotypic groups of T. congolense in KZN; the Savannah- and the Kilifi-type. The two genotypic groups were found as mixed infections in cattle and in tsetse flies. Lastly, there are at least five “genomic variants” of Savannah-type T. congolense in KZN. The infection rate in cattle ranged from 5.2-91%; in tsetse flies, 11-97.5% and in wild animals it was 4.3%. Mixed infection of T. congolense and T. vivax were only observed in samples from one diptank. Mixed infections of Savannah- and Kilifi-type T. congolense were observed in samples from Boomerang commercial farm, and in tsetse flies.

Coccídios Sarcocystidae são importantes agentes transmissíveis na interface homem-animais. Seu diagnóstico é dificultado pela disponibilidade de amostras, sem agredir a população natural de animais. Avaliou-se pela amplificação do ITS-1 a frequência destes coccídios, em amostras teciduais dos roedores Cavia spp., Ctenomys spp. e Myocastor coypus, depositados em museus do Rio Grande do Sul. Dos 75 roedores amostrados, DNA da subfamília Toxoplasmatinae foi obtido na musculatura esquelética (3/69) de M. coypus e Cavia spp. e cérebro de Cavia spp. (1/30) sendo identificado como Toxoplasma gondii; adicionalmente, Hammondia triffittae foi detectado no diafragma de M. coypus. A subfamília Sarcocystidae foi confirmada no músculo esquelético de Ctenomys spp. (Sarcocystis felis-like) e no M. coypus (Sarcocystis spp.). A detecção molecular de T. gondii, H. triffittae, Sarcocystis spp. e S. felis-like nas três espécies de roedores silvestres brasileiros de vida livre estudados, demonstram sua participação no ciclo silvestre e potencial transmissão ao homem e outros animais. / Coccidia Sarcocystidae are important transmissible agents in human-animal interface. Its diagnosis is difficult due to the availability of samples, without harming the wildlife animals populations. We evaluated, by amplification of ITS-1 the frequency of those coccidia in tissue samples of rodents Cavia spp., Ctenomys spp. Myocastor coypus deposited in museums in Rio Grande do Sul. Of the 75 sampled rodents, DNA of Toxoplasmatinae subfamily was obtained in skeletal muscle (3/69) of M. coypus and Cavia spp. and brain of Cavia spp. (1/30) identified as Toxoplasma gondii. Additionally, Hammondia triffittae was detected in the diaphragm of a M. coypus. The subfamily Sarcocystidae was confirmed in skeletal muscle of Ctenomys spp. (Sarcocystis felis-like) and M. coypus (Sarcocystis spp.). Molecular detection of T. gondii, H. triffittae, Sarcocystis spp. and S. felis-like in three species of Brazilian wild rodents free-living demonstrate their participation in the sylvatic cycle, and potential transmission to humans and other animals.

The capture of these animals in the wild was with networking trap and kept in captivity in IBAMA headquarters until the day of the experiment when they were transported to the Veterinary Hospital. The animals were subjected to fasting from 2 to 6 hours before the procedure, the anesthesia, which was performed comisoflurano, instrumentation, and after isoflurane was placed on the target value of 1.3% in the first animal in each group, then waited about 15 minutes to perform the electrical stimulation stimulus, held Faradic form (3 consecutive simple stimuli, followed by 2 continuous stimuli), located on the left side of the pelvic member tibiotarsus face in the region, and the electrodes fixed with 22g needle at a distance of 5 cm between them. Conducted the stimulus, the bird response was observed, being positive (wing movements, head or vocalization) or negative to the stimulus (not report any movement of wings, head or vocalization) and registered after the CAM value of the animal. The animal being negative CAM next bird was reduced around 10%, being positive CAM was increased by about 10%. Statistical analysis was made by up and down and analisequantal for CAM and t test for paired t test or equivalent method for variances not equal variances for the physiological variables. At the end of the experiment the birds used foramreintroduzidas in the same area where they were captured. The MAC value of isoflurane in collective was de1,4% and individual birds CAM 1.9% to 0.903 atm, and being observed statistical difference between the two groups, noting as well that social stress and the captive environment where the birds will be allocated will have influences on the values of isoflurane MAC in guan (Penelope obscura) / Este projeto tem como objetivo geral determinar a CAM em jacu (Penelope obscura) e, como objetivos específicos verificar se há diferença no valor da CAM entre aves submetidas a níveis diferentes de estresse.Neste estudo foram utilizadas vinte e sete aves da espécie jacu (Penelope obscura) de vida livre, alocados em dois grupos: animais que permaneceram em grupo no mesmo recinto (coletivo); animais que permaneceram em gaiolas individuais (individuais).O projeto foi realizado na Sede do IBAMA de Painel SC e no Hospital de Clínica Veterinária da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina na cidade de Lages. A captura destes animais em vida livre foi com armadilha de rede e mantidas no cativeiro na Sede do IBAMA até o dia do experimento quando foram transportados para o Hospital Veterinário. Os animais foram submetidos a um jejum alimentar de 2 a 6 horas antes do procedimento, de indução anestésica, que foi realizada comisoflurano,para instrumentação, e após o isoflurano foi colocado no valor alvo 1,3% no primeiro animal de cada grupo, em seguida esperado aproximadamente 15 minutos para realizar o estímulo o estímulo elétrico, realizado de forma farádica (3 estímulos simples consecutivos, seguidos de 2 estímulos contínuos), localizado na face lateral do membro pélvico esquerdo na região do tibiotarso, e os eletrodos fixados com agulha 22g a uma distância de 5 centímetros entre elas. Realizado o estímulo, foi observado a resposta da ave, sendo positiva (movimentos de asas, cabeça ou vocalização) ou negativa ao estímulo (não apresentou movimentos de asas, cabeça ou vocalização) e após registrado o valor de CAM do animal. O animal sendo negativo a CAM da próxima ave foi reduzida em torno de 10%, sendo positivo a CAM foi aumentada em torno de 10%. A análise estatística foi feita pelo método up and down e analisequantal para a CAM e teste t de pareado para variâncias equivalentes ou teste t para variâncias não equivalentes para as variáveis fisiológicas. Ao final do experimento as aves utilizadas foramreintroduzidas na mesma área onde foram capturadas. O valor da CAM de isoflurano em coletivo foi de1,4%e nas aves individuais a CAM de 1,9 % a 0,903 atm, e sendo observado diferença estatística entre os dois grupos, observando assim que o estresse social e o ambiente de cativeiro onde as aves serão alocadas vão possuir influências sobre os valores da CAM do isoflurano em jacus (Penelope obscura)

The identification of the fungical species that are part of microbiota in healthful animals is primordial condition for the recognition of causers of pathological processes. The objective of this work was the isolation and the identification of fungi that is present in healthy wild animals or not, received in Screening Centers, and the respective study of mycosis caused by the fungi in wild animals in the states of the Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul. The material collections had been carried through sterilized swabs for the external acoustic meatus and of the technique of "square of the carpet for the tegument of the wild animals in evaluation. The samples had been collected from 83 animals and the sorts of isolated fungi in this study had been Aspergillus sp., Candida spp., Penicillium sp., Geotrichum sp., Malassezia sp., Trichophyton sp., Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Fusarium sp. e Scopulariopsis sp. In 33 animals that had presented injuries it had fungical isolation in 97%. Amongst the birds, 100% of the collected animals had presented clinical signals, with isolation of the Candida sp. e Aspergillus sp. in 81% (n=13) and 19% (n=3) of the animals, respectively. In the group of the mammals, the total of animals that had presented clinical signals was of 23,07% (n=15), and all the genus of isolated fungi in this study were present, the exception of Fusarium sp. In the group of the reptiles, represented for two units of the specie Chelonia mydas, it had growth of Candida lipolytica in an individual and Fusarium sp. in another one, and they both presented clinical signals. The results obtained in the samplings had allowed to conclude that fungi are present in wild animals, therefore, it s necessary the continuity of the studies on microbiota and fungical illnesses in wild animals in rehabilitation: and its respective ethyological agents, in way that new findings can make possible the prevention and the treatment of mycoses, improving the carried attendance through of more directed and specify form in the services of primary attention to wild animals in Brazil. / O estudo das doenças infecciosas em animais silvestres, em especial as causadas por fungos, são pouco relatadas relacionando sua incidência e a distribuição dos diversos agentes etiológicos nas populações cativas e, em especial nas de vida livre. A identificação das espécies fúngicas que fazem parte da microbiota em animais saudáveis é condição primordial para o reconhecimento daquelas causadoras de processos patológicos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi isolar e identificar fungos presentes em animais silvestres sadios ou não, recebidos em Centros de Triagem, e o respectivo estudo das micoses causadas pelos mesmos em animais silvestres nos estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Mato Grosso do Sul. As coletas de material foram realizadas através de swabs estéreis para o meato acústico externo e da técnica do "quadrado do carpete para o tegumento dos animais silvestres em avaliação. As amostras foram coletadas de 83 animais silvestres e os gêneros de fungos isolados neste estudo foram: Aspergillus sp., Candida spp., Penicillium sp., Geotrichum sp., Malassezia sp., Trichophyton sp., Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Fusarium sp. e Scopulariopsis sp. Nos 33 animais que apresentaram lesões houve isolamento fúngico em 97%. Dentre as aves, 100% dos animais coletados apresentaram sinais clínicos, com isolamento dos gêneros Candida sp. e Aspergillus sp. em 81% (n=13) e 19% (n=3) dos animais, respectivamente. Já no grupo dos mamíferos o total de animais que apresentaram sinais clínicos foi de 23,07% (n=15), sendo que todos os gêneros de fungos isolados neste estudo estavam presentes, a exceção de Fusarium sp. No grupo dos répteis, representado por dois exemplares da espécie Chelonia mydas (tartaruga-verde), houve crescimento de Candida lipolytica em um indivíduo e Fusarium sp. em outro, sendo que ambos apresentavam sinais clínicos. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram a presença de fungos em animais silvestres, sendo, portanto, necessária a continuidade dos estudos sobre a microbiota e as doenças fúngicas em animais silvestres em reabilitação e seus respectivos agentes etiológicos, de modo que novos achados possam possibilitar a prevenção e o tratamento das micoses, qualificando o atendimento realizado de forma mais direcionada e específica nos serviços de atenção primária a animais silvestres no Brasil.

Abstract: This research seeks to investigate the possibilities and inadequacies of including wild animals within the justice realm. It bases this research on the reasons and rationales of representatives within environmental non- governmental organizations (ENGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and public agency working with animal- rights and welfare or environmental protection. These representatives reason from a personal and organizational perspective concerning justice, ethics and morals to wild animals. Environmental Justice (EJ) and Ecological Justice (EcJ) serves as the main theories for this research where EJ is often perceived as anthropocentric and EcJ as a non- anthropocentric amelioration of the former. The results indicate that Animal Rights (AR) and World Animal Protection (WAP) think more of animals in terms of individualism, whilst World Wide Foundation (WWF), Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) think in terms of consideration for species and ecosystems holistically. Some respondents perceived justice exclusively as a human term, however with regard to altered paths of reasoning later in the interview as most respondents continuously struggled, to various degrees, to make sense of justice in relation to wild animals. There were occasional uncertainties concerning ethics and morals, however less alien than the justice term and more relevant in relation to other NGOs, i.e. animal- rights and welfare organizations and less outspoken, though not entirely dismissed, within ENGOs and public agency. However, although some respondents occasionally argued that they do not reflect on ethics, morals and justice, these interviews are testament that they do, but with other terms and concepts that could be argued to be synonymous to ethics, morals and justice and perhaps used consciously and/or unconsciously at work. In other words, one can say that a different kind of rhetoric was applied i.e. justice in form of rights, respect. Another finding of the research was a structuration concern: specifically, on whether morals and ethics are reflected in law, or whether the law becomes what constitutes our morals and ethics, given as a majority of the respondents often refer to laws as general guidelines. In other words, does the law reflect reality, or does the law constitute reality? What is the dialectic here? In conclusion, wild animals might never receive full justice, where the researcher analyses it as a sequence of animals not holding moral capacities enough to be moral agents, though with the exception of having rights. As shown in the results, some wild animals can already be said to receive justice, e.g. wild animals as state property and hunting legislation, whilst other wild animals are excluded altogether, e.g. wild animals not being considered in welfare law. In this way, many future challenges include expanding the legal stance of wild animals. Human precedence barricades the opportunities for extending justice which are shown in this study and can be said to link to relational-, aesthetical-, contextual factors and deep cultural values and associations, aspects which overshadow human flourishing, wild animals not having a counterpart, animals as objects and so forth. Though, by giving e.g. wild animals a heightened status in legislation, extending the moral circle to include wild animals the utility of justice may prove helpful in furthering the rights and welfare of animals. Additionally, properties as recognition through, e.g. agency and capabilities could also guide us in giving justice to the natural world, as highlighted by Schlosberg (2007), but also the idea of intrinsic value as highlighted by many respondents. Future research may consider the holistic and individualistic tendencies held within ENGOs, NGOs and public agency to see how it could be mutually considered to a larger extent. As highlighted by one of the respondents, perhaps laws and legislation are not enough and that one could investigate more in how one perceive animals culturally, in other words human dimensions socially and culturally.
