Platynosomum illiciens (Trematoda, Plagiorchida) is a trematode parasite reported in felids and falconiforms. It was identified in the gall bladder of eight captive neotropical necropsied primates from the National Primate ...

Ultrasound (B-mode) was used to analyze follicular events in 12 trained female owl monkeys (Aotus azarai infulatus). The animals were examined every 48 hours for over 90days to measure and map follicular growth in both ...

Background Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is the cause of a zoonotic disease, which has only humans and non-humans primates as its natural hosts. Methods The seroprevalence of antibodies anti-HAV in wild and captive neotropical ...

Here we report nine new fossil specimens of platyrrhine primates collected in late Early Miocene deposits of the Pinturas Formation, Argentine Patagonia, during two joint paleontological expeditions in 2004 and 2013 carried ...

This study described the hepatobiliary anatomopathological lesions associated with trematode Platynosomum illiciens parasitism in Neotropical primates kept in captivity. In the evaluated organs, we observed portal fibrosis, ...

Introduction: The blood parameters of domestic and wild animals change according to both the environmental characteristics of their habitat regions in which they are found and the individual characteristics such as sex, ...
