| dna fingerprinting in the rare black-fronted piping guan pipile jacutinga (cracidae, aves). | brazilian cracidae are threatened by heavy environmental degradation and hunting. the black-fronted piping-guan (pipile jacutinga) used to inhabit the atlantic coastal highland forests. now it occurs in limited forest areas where it is rarely seen. interative management, including captive breeding, might be an important action for its survival. we present data on dna fingerprinting using jeffreys' human minisatellite probes 33.6 and 33.15. our results show that this technique is useful for estim ... | 1996 | 9253205 |
| antitoxin therapy of natural avian botulism outbreaks occurred in brazil. | botulism commonly affects water birds and it has recently been observed to be emerging in poultry production. in the present work, outbreaks of botulism in wild native species, such as the black-fronted piping-guan (aburria jacutinga), wild duck (cairina moschata) and its crosses with mallard (anas platyrhynchos), and domestic chickens (gallus gallus domesticus) are described. following treatments with a commercial botulism antitoxin cd, 28 (96.5%) out of 29 animals fully recovered after 24-72 h ... | 2017 | 28807621 |
| haemoproteus paraortalidum n. sp. in captive black-fronted piping-guans aburria jacutinga (galliformes, cracidae): high prevalence in a population reintroduced into the wild. | haemosporidian parasites of the genus haemoproteus are widespread and can cause disease and even mortality in birds under natural and captive conditions. the black-fronted piping-guan (aburria jacutinga) is an endangered neotropical bird of the cracidae (galliformes) going through a reintroduction program to avoid extinction. we used microscopic examination and partial cytochrome b dna sequencing to describe a new haemoproteus species infecting black-fronted piping-guans bred and raised in capti ... | 2018 | 30171836 |
| hematological reference intervals of endangered captive black-fronted piping-guans (aburria jacutinga) in the state of paraná, brazil. | the black-fronted piping-guan (aburria jacutinga) is and an endangered cracid species and little is known about its health. hematology allows researchers to assess the health and physiological status of a population, but, to our knowledge, reference intervals are not available in the literature for a. jacutinga. thus, the present study aimed to determine the hematological reference intervals of 31 captive black-fronted pipingguan adults in the state of paraná, brazil. blood samples were collecte ... | 2019 | 31120679 |
| reference intervals for biochemical analytes of captive black-fronted piping-guan (aburria jacutinga). | black-fronted piping-guan (aburria jacutinga) is considered one of the most threatened bird species on the american continent. ex situ conservation efforts have been developed in brazil, and monitoring the health status of these populations is essential to ensure reproductive success in captivity. reference intervals (ri) for biochemistry analytes from a larger population of black-fronted piping-guan are unavailable. | 2016 | 27124293 |
| genetic guidelines for captive breeding and reintroductions of the endangered black-fronted piping guan, aburria jacutinga (galliformes, cracidae), an atlantic forest endemic. | the survival of a number of birds rely on captive breeding and reintroduction into the wild, but captive populations are often small and can be exposed to the negative effects of inbreeding and genetic drift. then, managers are concerned not only with producing as much offspring as possible, but also with the retention of the maximum genetic variability within and between populations. the black-fronted piping guan, aburria jacutinga, is an endangered cracid endemic to the atlantic forest of sout ... | 2016 | 27232628 |
| does haemosporidian infection affect hematological and biochemical profiles of the endangered black-fronted piping-guan (aburria jacutinga)? | infectious diseases can cause deleterious effects on bird species, leading to population decline and extinction. haemosporidia can be recognized by their negative effects on host fitness, including reproductive success and immune responses. in captivity, outbreaks of haemosporidian infection have been observed in birds in zoos and aviaries. the endemic brazilian atlantic rainforest species aburria jacutinga is one of the most endangered species in the cracidae family, and wild populations of thi ... | 2013 | 23638382 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
