| description of males of parabronema pecariae ivaschkin, 1960 (nematoda, habronematoidea) parasitizing peccaries (mammalia, tayassuidae) in brazil. | nematodes studied herein and identified as parabronema pecariae were collected in 1936 in the states of rio de janeiro and pará and in 1940 in the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil. this species was proposed, with basis on female specimens that had been described earlier as parabronema sp. although the presence of males of p. pecariae was previously reported in brazil, their description was not provided. the present paper deals with the first complete morphometric data on male specimens of p. ... | 2000 | 11080772 |
| prevalence of leptospira interrogans antibodies in free-ranging tayassu pecari of the southern pantanal, brazil, an ecosystem where wildlife and cattle interact. | we surveyed a wild population of white-lipped peccaries (tayassu pecari) in the brazilian pantanal for evidence of leptospira interrogans. serum samples from 71 free-ranging t. pecari were obtained between 2003 and 2005 in the southern pantanal of mato grosso do sul state. we used microscopic microagglutination to test for antibodies against 14 l. interrogans serovars (antibody titers ≥ 1:100 were considered seropositive). seventy percent of captured animals tested positive for leptospirosis ant ... | 2010 | 20596776 |
