| serologic, parasitic, and bacteriologic assessment of captive cracids (aves: galliformes: cracidae) in brazil. | captive cracids (aves: galliformes: cracidae), including endangered species, were studied (n = 130) for the assessment of health status, including aburria jacutinga (black-fronted piping-guan, n = 42), crax blumenbachii (red-knobbed curassow, n = 54), craxfasciolata (bare-faced curassow, n = 28), and penelope obscura (dusky-legged guan, n = 6). the exposure to mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg), mycoplasma synoviae (ms), salmonella pullorum (sp), salmonella gallinarum (sg), avian paramyxovirus-1 (apm ... | 2013 | 23505700 |
| a suite of microsatellite markers for genetic management of captive cracids (aves, galliformes). | cracids are medium to large frugivorous birds that are endemic to the neotropics. because of deforestation and overhunting, many species are threatened. the conservation of several species has relied on captive breeding and reintroduction in the wild, but captive populations may be inbred. microsatellite tools can permit the construction of genetic pedigrees to reduce inbreeding, but only a few loci are available for this group of birds. here, we present 10 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci ... | 2014 | 25501196 |
| pupipara (diptera, hippoboscidae) in wild birds attended at a rehabilitation center in southern brazil. | the hippoboscids are cosmopolitan permanent obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of birds, domestic and wild mammals and, occasionally, humans. some species may act as vectors or hosts of etiological pathogenic agents. the aims of this study were to report on the first cases of hippoboscidae in crax blumenbachii and parabuteo unicinctus; to provide new reports from brazil on tyto furcata and asio stygius parasitized by icosta americana; to report on individuals of bubo virginianus, falco sparver ... | 2019 | 31166378 |
