| correlations of condition factor and gonadosomatic, hepatosomatic and lipo-somatic relations of leptodactylus macrosternum (anura: leptodactylidae) in the brazilian semi-arid. | the objective of this study was to assess variations of the condition factor (k1) in relation to the gonadosomatic- rgs and energy reserves (hepatosomatic - rwl and liposomatic - rfb relations) of leptodactylus macrosternum and their relationship to climate variation in the northeast of brazil, caatinga area, state of paraiba. the animals were captured fortnightly through active collecting, between january and december 2013. significant differences were observed in the monthly variations of k1, ... | 2018 | 28876383 |
| infestation by chiggers ( hannemania sp.) of miranda's white-lipped frog ( leptodactylus macrosternum) from a semiarid, neotropic region of brazil. | we identified miranda's white-lipped frog ( leptodactylus macrosternum) as a new host for chiggers ( hannemania sp.). a total of 57 larvae of hannemania sp. were found on 31 frogs examined from a semiarid region of northeastern brazil. | 2017 | 29261445 |
| evaluations of the antimicrobial activities and chemical compositions of body fat from the amphibians leptodactylus macrosternum miranda-ribeiro (1926) and leptodactylus vastus adolf lutz (1930) in northeastern brazil. | leptodactylus macrosternum and l. vastus (family: leptodactylidae) are commonly encountered in the "caatinga" biome in northern brazil. the body fat of l. vastus is used as a zootherapeutic for treating a number of human maladies. the aim of this work was to determine the chemical composition of the body fats of l. macrosternum and l. vastus and to evaluate their antimicrobial activities as well as the ecological implications of their use in traditional folk medicine. oils were extracted from bo ... | 2013 | 23710241 |
| description of rhabdias breviensis n. sp. (rhabditoidea: rhabdiasidae) in two neotropical frog species. | nematodes of the genus rhabdias stiles & hassall, 1905 (rhabditoidea: rhabdiasidae) have a dioecious free-living stage and a hermaphroditic stage that parasitises the lungs of amphibians and reptiles. approximately 94 species of rhabdias have been described. because the similar morphological characteristics such as the labial structures, the location of the vulva and the shape of the tail of rhabdias spp. hinder their identification, molecular biology techniques and scanning electron microscopy ... | 2013 | 23949651 |
