Objective. To provide primary evidence of Trypanosoma cruzi landscape genetics in the Mexican Neotropics. Materials and methods. discrete typing units (DTU) prevalence were analyzed communities vectors, wildlife, livestock, pets, sympatric human populations using endpoint PCR sequencing all relevant amplicons from mitochondrial (kDNA) nuclear (ME, 18S, 24Sα) gene markers. Results. Although 98% infected sample-set (N=2 963) contained single or mixed infections DTUI (TcI, 96.2%) TcVI (22.6%),...
Abstract Efficiently detecting early environmental threats to wildlife is vital for conservation. Beyond obvious dangers like habitat loss or deforestation, our study focuses on one of the most hazardous toxic metals wildlife: lead (Pb). Pb a widespread, cumulative, and insidious pollutant that can trigger wide range physiological, biochemical, behavioral disorders. In fact, cause permanent dysfunction major stress system, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. We analyzed cortisol...
Sex determination in monomorphic birds is a precondition for captive breeding programs and management conservation strategies threatened species. Most species of the order Psittaciformes often present complications since these lack external sexual phenotypic traits, making it impossible to differentiate males females. In study, we used molecular techniques determine sex 31 individuals belonging nine kept under human care at Akumal Monkey Sanctuary & Rescued Animals Quintana Roo, Mexico. This...
Great-tailed Grackles ( Quiscalus mexicanus ) are a social, polygamous bird species whose populations have rapidly expanded their geographic range across North America over the past century. Before 1865, were only documented in Central America, Mexico, and southern Texas USA. Given rapid northern expansion of this species, it is relevant to study its role dynamics avian blood parasites. Here, 87 grackles Arizona (a population new center range) screened for haemosporidian parasites using...
Se conoce como ardillas a los integrantes de la familia Sciuridae, que siempre asociamos intrépidos roedores se mueven ágilmente entre las ramas árboles. Sin embargo, no todas presentan esta conducta. Estos clasifican en tres grupos según sus hábitos: arborícolas, voladoras y terrestres, cada una con características distintivas movilidad. En este artículo, exploraremos diversidad importancia biológica tierra habitan llanuras praderas mexicanas.
Probablemente te has dado cuenta de que hay animales son capaces adaptarse a vivir cerca los humanos ¡Los tlacuaches un ejemplo ello! Estos curiosos mamíferos se han mudado la ciudad y bosques urbanos. Pero ¿sabías que, no únicos marsupiales habitan en México?
Tlacuatzoxyuris simpsoni n. gen. sp. is described from the cecum of gray opossum, Tlacuatzin canescens , a species endemic to deciduous dry forest Mexico. The digestive tracts four specimens were examined for parasites; three these archived in American Museum Natural History and one was live capture. Relative other monotypic genera pinworms known infect opossums, new genus diagnosed on basis round cephalic plate with semicircular stoma surrounded by rim. In addition, males feature prominent...
