This study aimed to perform upper digestive endoscopy in clinically healthy coatis (Nasua nasua), based on descriptions domestic dogs and cats. In addition, research was carried out for Helicobacter stomach samples. Five adult male coatis, weighing between 2.8 4.2 kg, kept captivity were used. The examination performed by using a flexible video endoscope with the animals under dissociative anesthesia positioned left lateral decubitus. general, endoscopic findings among similar. opening of...

Background: Chrysocyon brachyurus is a South American wild canid considered species near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and classified as vulnerable in National List Endangered Species. With increase contact between domestic animals, human population there was greater exposure maned wolf to pathogens. Due importance its conservation, knowledge emerging infectious diseases that affect this becomes essential. This report aims describe first diagnosed case...

Abstract The genus Otodectes Canestrini 1894, comprises an unique species, cynotis (Hering, 1838), that is responsible for the ‘ear mange’ in terrestrial carnivores worldwide. Here we report its occurrence four Brazilian host species from southeastern region, based on records Carnivora Acari Collection of Butantan Institute, São Paulo state (IBSP). We also register a case crab-eating fox, Cerdocyon thous L. 1758 found parasitized by this mite species.

Our objective was to condition adult male crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) allow semen collection by digital manipulation of the penis, assess sperm characteristics, and use ultrasonography measure testes prostate determine echotexture, as well hemodynamics testicular spermatic cord arteries. Five captive C. thous (2-5 y, ∼7 kg) were used. After conditioning for collection, 13 ejaculates obtained from two males. Ejaculate characteristics (mean ± SD) volume (393.2 178.0 μL), concentration...

Abstract Background The maintenance of marmosets in captivity may trigger various disorders. objective this study was to provide a radiographic evaluation the forelimbs and hind limbs rescued from illegal wildlife trade maintained captivity. Methods Fourteen were studied. Results conclusions Three apparently normal. Of eleven with changes limbs, five had pelvic narrowing bilateral varus deviation femur, one suggestive rickets another osteomalacia. other showed such as malunion acetabular...

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate radiographic and sonographic features, histogram parameters based on grayscale ultrasound of the liver spleen in healthy toco toucans. Fifteen adult toucans ( Ramphastos ), seven females eight males, weighing approximately 650 g, were enrolled study. On right lateral view, was visualized midventral region coelomic cavity; ultrasonographically, located middle portion cavity close relationship heart, thoracic abdominal air sacs. Two hepatic lobes...

Abstract This study aimed to assess the fusion of growth plates and development secondary ossification centres in forelimb bones maned wolves ( Chrysocyon brachyurus ), contrasting findings with established data from domestic dogs. Three wolves, comprising one male two females, initially aged between 3 4 months, were subjected monthly radiographic evaluations until 10–11 months age, followed by bimonthly assessments 18–19 encompassing both forelimbs. The closure times observed as follows:...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyse the growth plate fusion and secondary ossification centres of hind limbs in maned wolves ( Chrysocyon brachyurus ) using radiographs. Data from three estimated be 3–4 months old were utilised. The right left radiographed mediolateral craniocaudal views once a month until 11–12 age then every 2–3 18–19 age. plates identified their closure times as follows: proximal femur (13–15 months), distal tibia (17–19 tibial tuberosity (11–13 fibula months) calcaneal...

We investigated a reported case of stingray Dasyatis americana misidentification not detected in published study using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. If referred specimen (landed by fisheries Ceará, northeastern Brazil) was misidentified (as centroura) field, why did its RAPD data fail to clarify mistake? Was it due limitations markers or perhaps taxonomic issue? Contrary our initial expectations, neither these hindered detection misidentification. After reanalyzing...

Serum samples of 638 free-ranging wild mammals from São Paulo state, Brazil, were tested for neutralizing antibodies against rabies virus by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test. Overall seroprevalence was 1.7% among 24 species surveyed, with individuals six having positive results indicating exposure to virus.

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the arterial vascularization pelvic limb between southern caracara ( Caracara plancus ) and great egret Ardea alba by dissection radiographic examinations. Five specimens caracaras (three males two females), seven egrets (five females) were used. Barium sulphate latex suspension injected into left ventricle birds. radiographs taken with limbs in ventrodorsal, dorsoplantar, mediolateral lateromedial recumbency. Thereafter, material fixed a 10%...

Aliar saúde humana, animal e ambiental em torno da estratégia “Um mundo, uma saúde” não é tarefa fácil. A análise espacial (ambiente) um aspecto fundamental na epidemiologia. Dentre as várias técnicas utilizadas para a dos serviços de saúde, pode-se citar o geoprocessamento, que envolve etapas coleta, tratamento exibição informações indexadas geograficamente. O objetivo deste trabalho demonstrar geoprocessamento pode ser ferramenta útil no planejamento, execução, avaliação elaboração...

O planejamento e execução de ações manejo das populações cães gatos em áreas urbanas é um grande desafio para os gestores da saúde, pela falta diagnóstico situacional relacionado à realidade população destes animais no território urbano do município. São indicados três métodos o controle populacional gatos: restrição movimentação, habitat reprodutivo. As educação permanente saúde a posse responsável estimação esterilização cirúrgica são medidas indicadas como estratégias essas espécies. Com...

Abstract Baseline data for wall thickness in healthy toucans can be used to diagnose disease sick individuals. This study aimed evaluate the use of ultrasonography examination gastrointestinal tract toco ( Ramphastos ). Ten non‐anaesthetized adult were evaluated. Food was withheld 3 h prior ultrasound examination. Longitudinal and transverse images obtained using ventromedian cranial caudal approaches morphology stratification. The sections measured: proventriculus ventriculus, duodenum,...
