(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2004-01-01)
Anteaters belong to the Order Xenarthra / Family Myrmecophagidae and are the only members without teeth. There are three genera with four living species in the family Myrmecophagidae: Myrmecophaga tridactyla (giant anteater), ...
Gross anatomy and surgical approach to the humeral shaft in giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)
(2016-09-01)
Anteater forelimbs are distinguished morphologically from domestic animals, especially due to their unique movement and their natural habits. A knowledge of the pectoral limb anatomy and the proper surgical approach are ...
GROSS ANATOMY AND SURGICAL APPROACH TO THE HUMERAL SHAFT IN GIANT ANTEATER (MYRMECOPHAGA TRIDACTYLA)
(Amer Assoc Zoo Veterinarians, 2016-09-01)
Anteater forelimbs are distinguished morphologically from domestic animals, especially due to their unique movement and their natural habits. A knowledge of the pectoral limb anatomy and the proper surgical approach are ...
Helmintological characterization of giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) and lesser anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla) roadkilled on BR-050 and BR-455 highways (Minas Gerais, Brazil)
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina Veterinaria Zootecnia, 2020-11-01)
Myrmecophaga tridactyla, giant anteater and Tamandua tetradactyla, collared anteater are nationally widespread mammals. Despite that, their populations are in danger, especially the first one, categorized as vulnerable ...

The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) and the collared anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla) are widespread in Brazil and found in all Brazilian biomes. These hosts frequently use domestic animal environments such as ...
Giant Anteater Population Density Estimation and Viability Analysis Through Motion-Sensitive Camera Records
(2021-11-01)
Giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) populations are decreasing throughout their range. We tested a methodology for individual identification using camera records and fur patterns to estimate the giant anteater population ...
Microscopic features of tick-bite lesions in anteaters and armadillos - Emas National Park and the Pantanal region of Brazil
(New York Acad Sciences, 2004-01-01)
The naturally occurring wildlife host associations between ticks and tick-borne pathogens found in the neotropics are poorly described. Understanding tick-bite lesions is important as these are the site of host reaction ...
