Urinary parameters of Trichechus inunguis (Mammalia, Sirenia): reference values for the Amazonian Manatee [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010
The Amazonian manatee, Trichechus inunguis (Natterer 1883) is endemic to the Amazon Basin and is currently considered a vulnerable species. In order to establish normality ranges of urinary parameters to help monitor the health of this species in captivity, chemical urinalyses were performed on twelve males and nine females of various age groups. Urine

Ocurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis, Natterer, 1883) [PDF]

Biotemas, 2007
The apicomplexa protozoa Cryptosporidium infects several mammals, including terrestrial and aquatic species. In the epidemiology of this infection, the ingestion of water and/or food contamined with oocysts comprises the main mechanism of transmission to

Ultrasonographic Ocular Biometry of the Greater Caribbean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). [PDF]

Vet Ophthalmol
ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the ocular biometry of the Trichechus manatus manatus applying B‐mode ultrasonography across different age groups. Twenty‐two animals were assessed employing a portable ultrasound device equipped with a linear transducer. Five ocular parameters were assessed: corneal thickness (CT), anterior chamber depth (ACD),

Interdependencies between Indigenous peoples, local communities, and freshwater systems in a changing Amazon. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Globally, Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs) are fighting for the recognition of their knowledge and decision‐making authority in freshwater conservation. In the Amazon, decision‐making around freshwater management and conservation has often overlooked Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) and the connections between ...

Placentation in the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) [PDF]

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2008
Evidence from several sources supports a close phylogenetic relationship between elephants and sirenians. To explore whether this was reflected in similar placentation, we examined eight delivered placentae from the Amazonian manatee using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.
