Growth Curves of Wild and Reintroduced Broad-Snouted Caimans (Caiman latirostris) and Their Management Implications
(Sociedade Brasileira de Herpetologia, 2020-08)
We describe body growth functions of broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) for wild and reintroduced individuals. Snout-vent length (SVL, cm) and age of young individuals and adult females were recorded for two different ...
Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) parasitizing endemic and exotic wild mammals in the Esteros del Iberá wetlands, Argentina
(Systematic and Applied Acarology Society, 2012-08)
Five species of ticks belonging to the genera Amblyomma, Haemaphysalis and Rhipicephalus were recorded from endemic and exotic wild mammals in the Esteros del Iberá wetlands, Argentina. Adults and immature stages of Amblyomma ...
Ethnozoology in the mountains. What does the cognitive salience of wild animals tell us?
(Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, 2019-08)
In recent times, ethnobiology has revived interest in cognitive aspects of humans' communities. A concept commonly used in this area is cognitive salience. In this paper we assess the wild animal salience meaning for the ...
First isolation of Leptospira borgpetersenii from Fetuses of Wild boars (Sus scrofa)
(2017-02-07)
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonose and is endemic in many countries. This zoonosis is maintained in nature by chronic renal infection of carrier animals, being rodents and other small mammals the most important reservoirs. ...
A review on Trichinella infection in South America
(Elsevier Science, 2020-09-04)
Trichinella spp. causes human trichinellosis by means of the consumption of raw or inadequately treated meat from domestic or game animals. In the Americas, as well as in other continents, Trichinella infection is a health ...
Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) population as reservoirs for deleterious mutations in the RYR1 gene associated with Porcine Stress Syndrome
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Porcine Stress Syndrome (PSS) is a disorder codified by the ryanodine receptor 1 gene (RYR1) and affects both animal welfare and the quality of the meat product. As a consequence, individuals with this syndrome generate ...
Reproductive flexibility in South American camelids: First records of alternative mating tactics in wild guanacos (Lama guanicoe) = Flexibilidad reproductiva en camélidos sudamericanos: Primeros registros de tácticas de apareamiento alternativas en guanacos silvestres (Lama guanicoe)
(Sociedad Argentina para el Estudio de los Mamíferos (SAREM), 2020-06)
Intraspecific variation in mating behavior has been documented in diverse taxa, including ungulates. Here, we report and describe for the first time the existence of alternative mating tactics in a wild guanaco (Lama ...

Diphyllobothriidea in the north area of the Andean Patagonia: Epidemiology in urban dogs, morphometrical and molecular identification, with comments on wild carnivores
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Diphyllobothriidea are the principal agents of Diphyllobothriosis, a widespread food-borne cestodosis. Accurate identification of the species in samples is therefore crucial for diagnosis and epidemiology in wild and ...
