| comparison of clinical parameters in captive cracidae fed traditional and extruded diets. | the cracidae family of neotropical birds is regarded as one of the most severely threatened in the world. they traditionally have been extensively hunted, and, thus, ex situ efforts for their conservation are recommended and involve the optimization of their care in captivity. nutrition is a fundamental aspect of husbandry, which influences survival and reproduction in captivity. in this study, a total of 29 animals, including 3 species (penelope obscura, penelope superciliaris, and aburria jacu ... | 2011 | 22950316 |
| 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 |
| new records of three hippoboscid species on newly captured birds from nature in paraná, brazil. | the aims of this study was to provide new records of hippoboscid flies collected over an one-year period on newly captured birds from nature in the state of paraná, brazil. the birds were received by a wildlife center in tijucas do sul and the hippoboscid flies were collect by hand or by tweezers, generating a prevalence of 0.7% (16/2232) of parasitized birds. new information about distribution of hippoboscid flies on asio clamator, rupornis magnirostris and athene cunicularia was reported in th ... | 2016 | 27737369 |
| the impact of anthropogenic food supply on fruit consumption by dusky-legged guan (penelope obscura temminck, 1815): potential effects on seed dispersal in an atlantic forest area. | frugivorous birds are important seed dispersers and influence the recruitment of many plant species in the rainforest. the efficiency of this dispersal generally depends on environment quality, bird species, richness and diversity of resources, and low levels of anthropogenic disturbance. in this study, we compared the sighting number of dusky-legged guans (penelope obscura) by km and their movement in two areas of serra do japi, one around the administrative base (base) where birds received ant ... | 2015 | 26675919 |

| detection of anaplasma sp. phylogenetically related to a. phagocytophilum in a free-living bird in brazil. | wild animals play an important role in carrying vectors that may potentially transmit pathogens. several reports highlighted the participation of wild animals on the anaplasma phagocytophilum cycle, including as hosts of the agent. the aim of this study was to report the molecular detection of an agent phylogenetically related to a. phagocytophilum isolated from a wild bird in the midwest of the state of paraná, brazil. fifteen blood samples were collected from eleven different bird species in t ... | 2017 | 28902261 |
| hematologic evaluation in guans ( penelope obscura) under physical restraint and isoflurane anesthesia. | hematology is an important health indicator in birds, but the stress from capture or anesthesia can cause alterations in blood count. this study aimed to evaluate the differences found in blood counts among guans ( penelope obscura) under physical restraint and anesthetized with isoflurane. thirty-two free-range guans from the brazilian institute of environment and renewable natural resources (ibama) park were enrolled in the study. after physical restraint, blood samples were obtained from the ... | 2018 | 29517440 |
