Identification of Mycobacterium species and Rhodococcus equi in peccary lymph nodes
(2018-08-01)
Mycobacterium species and the virulence-associated proteins (vapA, vapB, and vapN genes) of Rhodococcus equi isolated from 330 lymph nodes of collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) and white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) ...
Exploitation of white-lipped peccaries Tayassu pecari (Artiodactyla: Tayassuidae) on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica., 2002)
We studied movements of white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari, Artiodactyla, Tayassuidae) throughout the Osa Peninsula and their use by local people during 1997-2000, using interview techniques. We draw five main conclusions: ...
Diet overlap and foraging activity between feral pigs and native peccaries in the pantanal
(Public Library Science, 2015)
Inter-specific competition is considered one of the main selective pressures affecting species distribution and coexistence. Different species vary in the way they forage in order to minimize encounters with their competitors ...
Assessment of temperament traits of white-lipped (Tayassu pecari) and collared peccaries (Pecari tajacu) during handling in a farmed environment
(2015-01-01)
White-lipped (Tayassu pecari) and collared (Pecari tajacu) peccaries can be farmed as an alternative to subsistence hunting in Neotropical countries. The animals often show high reactivity to handling, usually involving ...
PCR and qPCR for detection of Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in captive collared (Pecari tajacu) and white-lipped (Tayassu pecari) peccaries from Southern Brazil
(2016-11-01)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an emergent virus found in commercial pig farms and may cause clinical or subclinical infection. The collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) and white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) may also ...
New records of the Endangered Chacoan peccary Catagonus wagneri suggest a broader distribution than formerly known
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-04)
The Chacoan peccary Catagonus wagneri is the rarest and most threatened of the three extant species of peccary. Its presence has been recorded in the northern Dry Chaco ecoregion, which spans northern Argentina, western ...
Temperature induces activity reduction in a Neotropical ungulate
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2021-09-23)
Because global climate change results in increasingly extreme temperatures and more frequent droughts, behavioral thermoregulation is one avenue by which species may adjust. Changes in activity patterns in response to ...
