Multicentric Squamous Cell Carcinona in a Paca (Agouti paca) Resembling Bowen's Disease

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2008
An 8-yr-old female paca (Agouti paca) was admitted at the Veterinary Hospital of the Belo Horizonte Zoo (Brazil) with an ulcerated cutaneous nodule of approximately 1.5 cm in diameter in the left ear. One week later, other cutaneous nodules were detected in various body locations. The animal died during a surgical procedure to remove the tumors.

Asymmetric post‐natal development of superior cervical ganglion of paca (Agouti paca)

International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2008
AbstractFunctional asymmetry has been reported in sympathetic ganglia. Although there are few studies reporting on body side‐related morphoquantitative changes in sympathetic ganglion neurons, none of them have used design‐based stereological methods to address this issue during post‐natal development. We therefore aimed at detecting possible asymmetry‐

Food preferences and nutrient composition in captive pacas, Agouti paca (Rodentia, Dasyproctidae)

Mammalian Biology, 2003
The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of food preferences in captive pacas, a frugivorous New World rodent species, and to analyse whether these preferences correlate with nutrient composition. Using a two-alternative choice test six Agouti paca were repeatedly presented with all possible binary combinations of 12 types of food which ...

Microscopic Characterization of Teeth of Pacas Bred in Captivity (Agouti paca, Linnaeus, 1766)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2007
SummaryThe microscopic description of the teeth of pacas (Agouti paca) bred in captivity was developed for providing biological data on one of the largest American wild rodents, as not many references exist in the literature about this species. Two newborn males, two adult males (9 and 72 months old), one newborn female and two adult females (30 and 54
