Grypiscus scleromeris Miranda-Ribeiro 1935
No full textGrypiscus scleromeris Miranda-Ribeiro, 1935 Grypiscus scleromeris Miranda-Ribeiro, 1935: 415. Nomen novum for Grypiscus umbrinus sensu A. Lutz, 1929 (non Grypiscus umbrinus Cope, 1867). Current name. Cycloramphus fuliginosus Tschudi, 1838 — Bokermann 1951: 81. Synonymy. Name proposed as a junior synonym (“ nomen novum ”), as a replacement name for Grypiscus umbrinus sensu A. Lutz (1929) (non Grypiscus umbrinus Cope, 1867). Synonymized with Cycloramphus fuliginosus Tschudi, 1838 by Bokermann (1951: 81). However, as pointed out by Bokermann (1966: 42), in the work of A. Lutz (1929) there is no specimen associated to Cycloramphus umbrinus, which, by the way, A. Lutz (1929) considered a synonym of C. fuliginosus Tschudi, 1838. Types. According to Miranda-Ribeiro (1935: 415), “typo Mus. Inst. Osw. Cruz”, from “S.[Serra] da Bocaina ”. Frost (2023) added “now in MNRJ”. However, we do not find any specimen identified by A. Lutz as C. umbrinus from the “Serra da Bocaina ” in the AL-MN neither in the MNRJ collections. It is possible that the information in Miranda-Ribeiro (1935) was a mistake, which is more likely, or that the specimen was destroyed, which is improbable. Additionally, Heyer (1983: 266) reported that no one additional specimen of Cycloramphus with the characters described by Miranda-Ribeiro (1935: semipalmate feet and tuberculate tibia) have been collected in the Serra da Bocaina, although the area has been extensively surveyed. Type locality. “S.[Serra] da Bocaina ” (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1935: 415), probably in error. Remarks. Heyer (1983: 266) considered Grypiscus scleromeris Miranda-Ribeiro, 1935 a nomen dubium. However, Bokermann (1951: 81) included that name as a synonym of Cycloramphus fuliginosus Tschudi, 1838 without discussion, and Bokermann (1966: 42) presented arguments favorable to this decision. In this way, the synonymy was followed by Frost (2023) and, in the absence of better indication, we accompany.Published as part of Caramaschi, Ulisses & Pombal Jr, José P., 2023, Type specimens of the species of Cycloramphus Tschudi, 1838 (Anura, Cycloramphidae) in the collections of the Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, pp. 465-480 in Zootaxa 5339 (5) on pages 477-478, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5339.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/830943

Farm to Fork Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Norovirus on Frozen Strawberries
No full textFoodborne illness outbreaks have been increasingly linked to the consumption of fresh and frozen berries that were contaminated with pathogenic viruses, such as human norovirus (NoV). Contamination of berries is assumed to take place at harvest by the use of contaminated water for pesticide dilution, irrigation water source or by shedding berry pickers in the field. A quantitative microbial risk assessment simulation model was built to replicate the largest known NoV outbreak which sickened about 11,000 people over a 3-week period. The outbreak occurred in Germany in 2012 when contaminated frozen strawberries were served at nearly 400 schools and daycare centers. The risk model explicitly assumed that all contamination would arise from NoV contamination of surface water used for pesticide dilution. Input data was collected from the published literature, observational studies and assumptions. The model starts with contamination of the berries in the field, and proceeds through transportation to processing facility, washing, sanitizing, freezing, frozen transport to cargo ship, transport view of cargo ship, transport to distribution center, frozen storage at the distribution center, transport to the catering facility, food service preparation and consumption, dose response, and predicted illnesses. A total of 21 scenarios were chosen to evaluate the impact of model parameters on the number of illness associated with NoV contamination of berries. Scenarios evaluated include the initial level of NoV in surface water, the effect of seasonality on the prevalence of NoV in surface water, the strength of the pesticide used, the volume of water used to dilute the pesticide, temperature during transportation to processing facility, washing and sanitizing conditions at processing facility and preparation (heat-treatment) of berries prior to consumption. Scenarios were compared via the Factor Sensitivity technique where the logarithm of the ratio of mean illnesses was used to compare different assumptions. The input that had the greatest effect on increasing in the number of illnesses was a high NoV concentration in the water (8 log Genome Copies/L) when compared to the baseline scenario with resulting mean illnesses of 7,964 illnesses and ~2 illnesses, respectively. This assumption about the concentration of virus in the pesticide makeup water was the only variable capable of producing an outbreak similar to that observed in Germany in 2012. Heat-treatment of the berries, use of a pesticide with strong antiviral effect, and assumption about the virus concentration in the pesticide make-up water had the largest impact on decreasing illnesses.Peer reviewe
