| characterization and distribution of isospora sabiai n. sp. (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from thrushes turdus spp. (passeriformes: turdidae) from brazil. | a new coccidian species (protozoa: apicomplexa: isospora) is described parasitizing white-necked thrushes turdus albicollis vieillot, 1818, rufous-bellied thrushes turdus rufiventris vieillot, 1818, pale-breasted thrushes turdus leucomelas vieillot, 1818 and yellow-legged thrushes turdus flavipes vieillot, 1818 from 3 different localities in brazil. isospora sabiai n. sp. has oocysts that are sub-spherical to ellipsoidal, 20.9 × 18.6 µm, with smooth, delicate, bilayered wall, ~1.1 μm thick. micr ... | 2017 | 28319677 |
| isospora brasilsatoae n. sp. (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from thrushes turdus spp. (passeriformes: turdidae) from brazil. | a new species of coccidia (protozoa: apicomplexa: eimeriidae) found parasitizing the yellow-legged thrush turdus flavipes (vieillot, 1818), the pale-breasted thrush turdus leucomelas vieillot, 1818 and the creamy-bellied thrush turdus amaurochalinus cabanis, 1850 in southeastern brazil is described. isospora brasilsatoae n. sp. has oocysts that are ovoidal to pyriform, 26.8 × 21.1 μm, with smooth, bilayered wall, ~1.6 μm thick. micropyle present. oocyst residuum absent, but one to three polar gr ... | 2019 | 30790929 |
| consumption of euterpe edulis fruit by wildlife: implications for conservation and management of the southern brazilian atlantic forest. | this study aimed to measure the wildlife consumption of euterpe edulis fruit and use this data to discuss management possibilities. to estimate infructescence fruit volume consumed, collectors were installed in fruit-bearing palms. to characterize consumption from the ground, samples were placed next to fruiting palms. to identify wildlife and their activities, camera traps were installed in infructescences and on the ground. the results suggested that there was a small fruit surplus (1.8 %), an ... | 2019 | 30994770 |
| morphological and molecular identification of isospora massardi lopes, berto, luz, galvão, ferreira & lopes, 2014 (chromista: miozoa: eimeriidae) from thrushes turdus spp. (passeriformes: turdidae) in south america. | in the current work, isospora massardi lopes, berto, luz, galvão, ferreira & lopes, [10] is identified from white-necked thrushes turdus albicollis vieillot, 1818, rufous-bellied thrushes turdus rufiventris vieillot, 1818 and from a new host, the yellow-legged thrush turdus flavipes (vieillot, 1818) in a new locality, the itatiaia national park, in southeastern brazil, providing a preliminary genotypic characterization via sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (coi) and ... | 2020 | 31843685 |
| molecular and morphological characterization of a brazilian lineage of plasmodium (novyella) unalis in turdus spp. (passeriformes) of the atlantic forest, with remarks on new hosts and high genetic variation. | plasmodium spp. are haemosporidian protozoans that alternate their live cycles between bloodsucking culicidae dipterans and vertebrate hosts (mammals, reptiles and birds). in birds, these parasites are the causative agents of the so called avian malaria, a disease associated with considerable declines and extinctions in the avifauna in different geographical regions. in this work, we applied a multidisciplinary approach, light microscopy and cytochrome oxidase b (cyt b) gene sequence analysis fo ... | 2017 | 28930498 |
