| [annual follow-up of the gastrointestinal parasitosis of the tepezcuintle, agouti paca (rodentia: agoutidae) in captivity in the mexican tropic]. | previous reports showed that the tepezcuintle (agouti paca) is commonly infested by gastrointestinal parasites (gip), mainly eucoccidiida and helminths. however, there is no available information on the frequency of those parasites and their faecal egg excretions at different moments during the year. these information would provide a valuable baseline for the establishment of control strategies against gip in tepezcuintles under captivity. the objectives of the present study were to determine th ... | 2006 | 12189798 |
| [nucleotidic variations of two captive groups of tepezcuintle, agouti paca (rodentia: agoutidae), from two sites in yucatan, mexico]. | the objective of this work was to estimate the nucleotidic variation between two groups of tepezcuintles (agouti paca) from the states of campeche and quintana roo, mexico and within members of each group. blood samples were collected from eleven a. paca kept in captivity. dna from leukocytic cells was used for ramdom amplification of dna polimorphism (rapd). the primers three 5'-d(gtagacccgt)- 3' and six 5'-d(cccgtcagca)- 3' were selected from de amersham kit (ready.to.go. rapd analysis beads, ... | 2006 | 18491632 |
