Exposure of free-ranging capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) to the vaccinia virus
(2020-03-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of free-ranging animals/hunting dogs as sources of infection in the vaccinia virus (VACV) transmission chain. Serological, cell culture and molecular assays were conducted ...
Evaluation of a laryngeal mask airway as an alternative to orotracheal intubation for maintaining airway patency during inhalant anesthesia under spontaneous ventilation in capybaras (hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)
(2021-03-01)
Abstract: Orotracheal intubation carries greater difficulty in rodents than in most domestic species. The human laryngeal mask airway (LMA) was compared with an endotracheal tube (ETtube) for maintaining airway patency in ...
Morphoquantitative evaluation of the heart of cutia (Dasyprocta agouti) and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina Veterinaria Zootecnia, 2020-09-01)
The cutia (Dasyprocta agouti) and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are hystricomorphic rodents of the Brazilian fauna. The wild animal anatomy is essential to the clinic and surgery practices and conservation programs. ...
Radiological and osteological study of the pelvic limbs in free-ranging capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)
(2018-06-01)
This study aimed to describe the radiographic anatomy and osteology and to evaluate angular radiographic measurements—Norberg angle, inclination angle and anteversion angle—of the pelvic limbs in free-ranging capybaras. ...
Molecular screening of Bartonella in free-ranging capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) from Paraná State, Southern Brazil
(2022-01-01)
Bartonella is an emerging group of facultative intracellular bacteria causing circulatory and systemic disorders. Hosts for Bartonella are mostly mammals, specifically rodents, having a growing number of Bartonella species ...
DISTRIBUTION OF CAPYBARAS IN AN AGROECOSYSTEM, SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL, BASED ON ECOLOGICAL NICHE MODELING
(ALLIANCE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP DIVISION ALLEN PRESS, 2009)
Southeastern Brazil has seen dramatic landscape modifications in recent decades, due to expansion of agriculture and urban areas; these changes have influenced the distribution and abundance of vertebrates. We developed ...
Molecular detection of the human pathogenic Rickettsia sp. strain Atlantic Rainforest in Amblyomma dubitatum ticks from Argentina
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2015-02)
To date, three tick-borne pathogenic Rickettsia species have been reported in different regions of Argentina, namely, R. rickettsii, R. parkeri, and R. massiliae. However, there are no reports available for the presence ...
Detection of Trypanosoma evansi infection in wild capybaras from Argentina using smear microscopy and real-time PCR assays
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
Trypanosoma evansi is a flagellated protozoan that parasitizes a wide variety of mammals, occasionally including humans. In South America, it infects horses, cattle, buffaloes, dogs and wild mammals, causing a disease known ...
The role of river drainages in shaping the genetic structure of capybara populations
(Springer, 2015-09)
The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is an herbivorous rodent widely distributed throughout most of South American wetlands that lives closely associated with aquatic environments. In this work, we studied the genetic ...
Capybara social structure and dispersal patterns: Variations on a theme
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2011-02)
Capybaras, (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are large, herbivorous New World hystricomorphs, common in the seasonally flooded savannas of tropical and subtropical South America. In this paper we review the social structure and ...
