| gastric nematodes of the paraguayan caiman, caiman yacare (alligatoridae). | examination of the stomach contents of 115 caiman yacare daudin, 1802, from paraguay revealed the presence of the nematodes brevimulticaecum baylisi (travassos, 1933), brevimulticaecum stekhoveni (baylis, 1947), contracaecum sp. of railliet and henry, 1912, dujardinascaris paulista (travassos, 1933), eustrongylides sp. of jagerskiold, 1909, micropleura vazi travassos, 1933, and ortleppascaris alata (baylis, 1947). nematode prevalence was 28%; greatest species prevalence (14%) was found for b. ba ... | 1991 | 1779280 |

| preliminary characterization of a kazal-type serine protease inhibitor from caiman crocodilus yacare plasma. | blood serine protease inhibitors are becoming better understood and increasingly applied in blood clotting, cancer and other diseases. reptiles are suitable models for blood coagulation and related processes, moreover, caiman is a good comparative model of a non-poisonous reptile. recently, we reported the purification of a kininogen, the presence of proteases involved in blood clotting, and a serine protease inhibitor in caiman crocodilus yacare plasma. in this paper, we described the partial s ... | 1999 | 10615009 |
| coccidian parasites (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from two species of caimans, caiman yacare daudin and caiman latirostris daudin (alligatoridae), from paraguay. | from october 1986 to january 1987, feces from 119 caiman yacare and 12 caiman latirostris were collected in paraguay and later examined for coccidian oocysts; 69 of 119 (58%) samples from c. yacare and 3 of 12 (25%) samples from c. latirostris contained coccidian oocysts. two eimerians infected c. yacare and both are described as new species. sporulated oocysts of eimeria paraguayensis n. sp. are ellipsoid, 34.0 x 23.6 (26-38 x 20-29) microns with sporocysts ovoid, 14.0 x 7.1 (10-19 x 6-10) micr ... | 1989 | 2723920 |
| observations on the thermal selection of the pantanal caiman (caiman crocodilus yacare) hatchlings (crocodylia: alligatoridae). | three options of water temperatures in a thermal gradient that changed from 22 to 35 degrees c were offered to pantanal caiman (caiman croocodilus yacare) hatchlings. animals from two nests were submitted to temperatures during 19 days (nest 1 -- 20 caimans caught in the nature hours after hatching), corresponding to 1 to 7 observations periods, and 13 days (nest 2 -- 20 animals obtained by artificial incubation) relative to observation period 8. caimans remain fasting during experimental period ... | 2001 | 11514901 |
| [histology and histochemistry of the kidney and ureters of the caiman crocodilus yacare (daudin, 1802)--crocodilia reptilia)]. | the elongated kidneys of caiman crocodilus yacare are found in pairs and have two lobes. each lobe is crossed lengthwise down the middle by the renal vein and artery along which there are the renal corpuscules in groups of two or four which delimit the medullar renal region. these corpuscules are generally poorly developed and there is a center of connective tissue with few capillary loops. the bowman capsule is of pavement or cubic epithelium and leads into a narrow, short, non-secretory neck s ... | 1995 | 7569146 |
