Annotated from study are intended as reference for clinical studies head, specially diagnosis...
Abstract Background The capacity for herpesvirus to cause disease in cetaceans is unclear and may be varied depending on the different conditions of individuals between species. Kidney pathology intralesional virus-associated infection have been rarely reported cetaceans. Result On April 2004, an old adult male Blainville’s beaked whale ( Mesoplodon densirostris ) 420 cm long with a poor body condition was stranded Tenerife Island. During necropsy, no gross lesions were observed kidneys....
The South American guinea pig rodent has become a livestock animal acceptable for human consumption in different parts of the world. Its white meat great potential as new protein source, and its social economic importance populations is considered key development. Scarce data are found literature when statistical information checked, few researches have been done about morphological characteristics pigs carcasses. These works do not follow same procedures, using criteria, overall jointing,...
Aggressive encounters involving cetacean species are widely described in the literature. However, detailed pathological studies regarding lesions produced by these scarce. From January 2000 to December 2017, 540 cetaceans stranded and were necropsied Canary Islands, Spain. Of them, 24 cases of eight presented social traumatic same or different species. All severe multifocal vascular changes, 50% (12/24) fractures affecting mainly thoracic region, 41.7% (10/24) acute rake marks, 37.5% (9/24)...
