The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, is an endangered marine chelonian with a circum-global distribution. Reference blood parameter intervals have been published for some species, but baseline hematology, biochemical, and gas values are lacking from the Galapagos sea turtles. Analyses were done on samples drawn 28 turtles captured in two foraging locations San Cristóbal Island (14 each site). Of these turtles, 20 immature of unknown sex; other eight males (five mature, three immature). A...
Las distintas visiones culturales, sociales y legales se manifiestan en la diversidad de regulaciones sobre prostitución los países. Existen tres enfoques principales: criminalización, legalización despenalización. Muchos países optan por buscando eliminar mediante sanciones legales; no obstante, esta estrategia suele marginar a trabajadores sexuales, exponiéndolos abusos limitando su acceso servicios salud justicia. La legalización, cambio, integra el trabajo sexual economía formal,...
Intoxication of sheep and cattle by Astylus atromaculatus recently occurred in Uruguay Argentina association with severe drought. Although the disease was experimentally reproduced 1970s, there is limited information on clinical pathologic findings intoxicated this beetle. Here, we described clinical, gross, microscopic 3 orally dosed A. (treatment group, TG) 2 control (control CG) distilled water. Anorexia, lethargy, ruminal stasis, reluctance to move, prolonged recumbency, bruxism were...
In April and June of 2024, two outbreaks photosensitisation occurred in a herd 354 beef cows calves Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Both the same paddock, where red clover (Trifolium pratense) was dominant pasture species, combined with tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus, previously Festuca arundinacea), white (T. repens), bird's foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne). Signs head tilt, restlessness, tail swishing, searching behaviour for shade water were...

The hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, is a marine chelonian with circum-global distribution, but the species critically endangered and has nearly vanished from eastern Pacific. Although reference blood parameter intervals have been published for many populations, including nesting Atlantic hawksbills, no such baseline biochemical gas values reported wild Pacific turtles. Blood samples were drawn eight turtles captured in near shore foraging locations within Galápagos archipelago over...
A 6-month-old dairy heifer calf with no premonitory signs was acutely down after the morning feeding and could not rise. On presentation, in right lateral recumbency moribund opisthotonus left hind limb paddling. Following euthanasia, gross examination of brain revealed multifocal loss gray-white matter distinction extensive petechiae throughout brainstem. histopathological examination, there striking white edema marked perivascular proteinaceous surrounding many arterioles venules...
The marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus, is an iconic lizard endemic to the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador, but surprisingly little information exists on baseline health parameters for this species. We analysed blood samples drawn from 35 iguanas captured at three locations San Cristóbal Island. A portable analyser (iSTAT) was used obtain near-immediate field results pH, lactate, partial pressure O2, CO2, bicarbonate (HCO3 (-)), percentage O2 saturation, haematocrit, haemoglobin, sodium,...
Astylus atromaculatus Blanchard is a native beetle of South America that feeds on pollen. During the summer 2022–2023 in Argentina and Uruguay, an explosive infestation these insects occurred pastures which ruminants were grazing. This was believed to be associated with severe drought, had significantly reduced flowering crops. Three farms Uruguay one visited examine flocks perform autopsies. Affected sheep watery diarrhea, anorexia, depression, ruminal atony. The average morbidity,...
The great frigatebird, Fregata minor, is a widely distributed seabird native to the Galápagos archipelago. Haematology and blood chemistry parameters have been published for this species but not from San Cristóbal North Seymour frigatebird breeding colonies. Analyses were run on samples drawn 25 frigatebirds captured by hand at their nests Punta Pitt Island 30 birds Island, Islands. A portable analyser (iSTAT) was used obtain near immediate field results pH, pO2, pCO2, TCO2, HCO3- ,...
An outbreak of enteric listeriosis in steers that were fed spoiled silage is reported. The started 2 days after ~200 animals a single paddock given supplement silage. Forty (20%) affected, and 13 (6.5%) died over period 10 days. Affected recumbent, depressed, had diarrhea with mucus fibrin. Gross microscopic findings 3 subjected to autopsy included excess peritoneal fluid, congestion edema abomasum, suppurative enteritis colitis, mesenteric lymphadenitis. Two strains Listeria monocytogenes...
ABSTRACT: White muscle disease (WMD), nutritional myodegeneration or enzootic muscular dystrophy, is a condition associated with selenium and/or vitamin E deficiency in ruminants. These elements are constituents of the major body antioxidant systems. Depletion results oxidative damage to cardiac and skeletal cells, resulting myonecrosis, typical lesions WMD. Selenium common South America, but WMD underreported. This research describes clinical, biochemical pathological findings two episodes...
Astylus atromaculatus is a pollen beetle native to South America, commonly found in crop flowers. Experimental intoxication of sheep and guinea pigs by this resulting fibrinonecrotizing enteritis has been reported. We describe here 6 natural outbreaks cattle associated with consumption alfalfa (5 6) mixed (1 pastures heavily contaminated A. atromaculatus. The occurred during the summer (January–February) 2023 Argentina ( n = 4) Uruguay 2), beef under extensive or semi-extensive rearing...
A retrospective analysis (2000 to 2013) of cattle poisoning caused by toxic plants and other compounds was carried out in the Pampas region Argentina Animal Health Group INTA-EEA, Balcarce. During this period, 1263 reports diseases different etiologies (infectious, parasitic, toxic, metabolic miscellaneous) were recorded cattle, collecting anamnestic, clinical pathological information. etiology diagnosed 21.1% these reports. Iatrogenic ionophores most frequently etiology. Consumption...
ABSTRACT: Equine pythiosis is an ulcerative and granulomatous disease of the skin, caused by oomycete Pythium insidiosum (Pythiaceae). The objective this study was to describe seven cases equine that occurred from 2012 2017 in eastern region Uruguay. Six wetland ecosystems Merin basin, remaining case fluvial plains Tacuarembó River. Lesions consisted a large, rapidly growing ulcerated tumor with abundant granulation tissue, serosanguineous secretion, fistulous tracts containing large...
The red-footed booby ( Sula sula) is a widely distributed sulid native to the Galápagos archipelago. Hematology and blood chemistry parameters have been published for this species, but not from San Cristóbal rookery. Analyses were run on samples drawn 31 manually restrained boobies that captured by hand their nests at Punta Pitt Island. A portable analyzer (iSTAT) was used obtain near immediate field results pH, partial pressure of oxygen, carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, hematocrit, hemoglobin,...
Flurbirpofen (FBP), a member of the 2-aryl propionate nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug class, has potent and analgesic properties. The commercial preparation is racemic mixture R(-) S(+) enantiomers FBP. In this study, FBP were used to investigate metabolic chiral inversion. Each enantiomer was administered separately (0.25 mg/kg) in (0.5 intravenously horses. Plasma synovial concentration each determined disposition analyzed. After intravenous administration horses no inversion detected....
The Galápagos shearwater, Puffinus subalaris, is a seabird endemic to the archipelago. Hematology, blood chemistry, and general health parameters have not been published for this species. Analyses were run on samples drawn from 20 clinically healthy shearwaters captured by hand at their nests Islote Pitt San Cristóbal Island in July 2016. A portable analyzer (iSTAT) was used obtain near immediate field results pH, pO2, pCO2, TCO2, HCO3-, hematocrit, hemoglobin, sodium, potassium, chloride,...
