Alive Antillean manatee stranding is one of the main challenges for conservation species in Brazil. In present study, data on recorded by CMA/ICMBio’s Wild Animals Rehabilitation Center from 1987 to 2015 were analyzed. The CMA and REMANE’s (Northeastern Aquatic Mammal Stranding Network’s) institutions have rescued average five manatees per year. Approximately 56% animals alive when rescued, 43.7% found dead. states Ceará Rio Grande do Norte highest records stranding, rescue, assistance...
Fibropapillomatosis is a threat to the survival of marine turtles, especially green turtles; therefore, studies on this neoplastic disease are considered conservation priority. Our goal was characterize incidence and spatial–temporal distribution fibropapillomatosis in Potiguar Basin, Rio Grande do Norte Ceará states, Brazil. This study based data obtained during daily observations by beach monitoring program from 2012 2015. A total 2688 comprising 5 species that occur Brazilian coast, were...
The aim of this work was to analyze whether there are differences between the development pattern Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus) calves born in captivity and those rescued kept under rehabilitation. Biometrics data were collected from 1990 2010 38 calves, 29 which still had remnants umbilical cord been Brazilian northeastern coastline (Group I), nine individuals that remained with their mothers II). Among measures obtained through biometry, total length weight animal recorded. Given...
The aim of this study was to characterize the yeast microbiota natural cavities manatees kept in captivity Brazil. Sterile swabs from oral cavity, nostrils, genital opening, and rectum 50 Trichechus inunguis 26 manatus were collected. samples plated on Sabouraud agar with chloramphenicol incubated at 25 °C for 5 days. yeasts isolated phenotypically identified by biochemical micromorphological tests. Overall, 141 strains isolated, which 112 T. (Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis sensu...
Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is an infectious disease caused by Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5). Nevertheless, its clinical manifestations are considered multifactorial. Due to relevance, FP currently monitored in sea turtle populations the United States, Australia, Caribbean, and Brazil. Between 2000 2020, TAMAR Project/ Project Foundation analyzed prevalence of nine states oceanic islands along Brazilian coast, including Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (FNA), a historically FP-free area. A...
The aortic arrangement is an important structure associated with the maintenance of homeostasis. Based on this information, study was conducted to describe collateral arteries arch Antillean manatee and define standard model for species. Three specimens, adult male, female a male neonate, all strandings coast state Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, were used. performed in Laboratory Morphophysiology Vertebrates Federal University where situ photographs taken demonstrate their topography....
Os mamíferos aquáticos utilizam como habitat todo o território brasileiro; entretanto, até presente momento não se tinha uma descrição sistematizada das espécies que ocorrem no litoral do estado de Pernambuco. O atendimento aos encalhes é importante ferramenta para obtenção desses registros, assim gerar informações sobre as populações e respectivas ameaças às quais estão sujeitas. Este trabalho teve objetivo descrever a ocorrência, diversidade distribuição Pernambuco, Brasil. conhecimento...
A fibropapilomatose (FP) é uma doença multifatorial, neoplásica e infecciosa que afeta todas as espécies de tartarugas marinhas, o Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5(ChHV5) tem sido apontado como agente etiológico primário. Essa caracterizada por tumores cutâneos, mas fibromas viscerais, mixofibromas fibrossarcomas também têm relatados podem interferir nas funções sistêmicas. Apesar descrições anteriores neoplasias viscerais em marinhas do Havaí Flórida, algumas infectadas pelo ChHV5, há poucos...
Morphological studies of the digestive tract are relevant to know biology and understand eating habits conserve species. Our objective was analyze macroscopically microscopically Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). Samples were collected from 20 animals found dead stranded on coast northeastern Brazil or that died during rehabilitation process in captivity between July 1995 March 2017. The macroscopic analysis gastrointestinal carried out loco monitoring two necropsies. For...
A juvenile green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) of undetermined sex was rescued on October 16, 2019, in the archipelago Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco, Brazil. The animal presence active bleeding resulting from two transverse fractures carapace, with exposure coelomic cavity. Radiological and hematological tests were performed. received therapeutic support surgical reconstruction carapace. medically cleared reintroduced into natural environment 120 days after it rescued. protocol used here for...
Abstract In this paper we report the trauma suffered by a green turtle (Chelonia mydas ), caused collision with motorboat, and describe case ante post-mortem . An adult female was rescued alive on December 2, 2016 at Ponta Negra beach, municipality of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The animal sent to Marine Fauna Rehabilitation Center (PCCB-UERN), Areia Branca (RN), in Physical examination revealed an excellent body score, noisy breathing, moderate dehydration, absence hind limb cloacal...
As tartarugas-verdes (Chelonia mydas) são afetadas pela fibropapilomatose (FP), doença que pode ser uma ameaça para elas. O trabalho teve como objetivo descrever as características histopatológicas dos tumores sugestivos de FP e pesquisar a presença DNA Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) em lesões cutâneas 26 tartarugas verdes encalhadas na Bacia Potiguar (nordeste do Brasil). foram encontradas durante o monitoramento diário, os coletados por biópsia ou necropsia, quantificados analisados...
Background: Manatees are the most endangered aquatic mammals in Brazil. The current conservation scenario, together with their biological characteristics, raises concern future of this species. Pyothorax, also known as septic pleural effusion or empyema, is characterized by accumulation a purulent exudate within space. Although infection often has multifactorial etiology, it commonly associated respiratory tract disorders and trauma. Here, we report case pyothorax Antillean manatee...
Traumas cranianos em tartarugas marinhas geralmente estão relacionados à ação antrópica por colisão com embarcações motorizadas. Em sua maioria, estes eventos são fatais, e quando não, várias sequelas podem permanecer. Desta forma, objetivou-se relatar um caso de uma tartaruga-cabeçuda (Caretta caretta) politraumatismos craniano. O espécime foi resgatado encalhado no dia 17 novembro 2018, na praia Retirinho, município Aracati, Ceará, Brasil. animal encontrado ativo responsivo, bom escore...
