Presence of Leptospira spp. in Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae) populations in Santa Fe, Argentina [PDF]

Heliyon, 2020
Leptospirosis is a disease caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, transmitted by wild and domestic animals. Rodents play a fundamental role in the transmission cycle of this zoonosis but the function of reptiles is unknown. For example,

Cranial sexual discrimination in hatchling broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]

Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2007
Broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) hatchlings present a consistent sexual dimorphism in their cranium shape and size. Male hatchlings have smaller crania than females. Using multivariate statistical analyses it is possible to discriminate sex in broad-snouted caiman hatchlings by their cranial shape with a reasonable efficiency.

Mapping knowledge to guide conservation action: Trends in broad-snouted caiman research [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) is a key species in South American wetlands with ecological, cultural, and economic importance. Despite its significance, no systematic effort has quantified research trends and gaps.

Parentage test in broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris, Crocodylidae) using microsatellite DNA [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009
In this study, microsatellite markers, developed for Alligator mississipiensis and Caiman latirostris, were used to assess parentage among individuals from the captive colony of Caiman latirostris at the University of São Paulo, in Piracicaba, São Paulo,

Stage-based model of population dynamics and harvest of Broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) under different management scenarios [PDF]

Ethnobiology and Conservation, 2023
We created a matrix model structured by stages (divided into 5 stages) to evaluate the population dynamics of Caiman latirostris and the population behavior at different management intensities through ranching and hunting of adult individuals.

Disseminated Mycobacterium intracellulare infection in a broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013
A 10 yr old broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris from a small Dutch animal park was presented with long-term variable periods of anorexia and weight loss. Blood chemistry showed slightly elevated uric acid levels and low ionised calcium concentration.

Contractile function of fasting and digesting broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2023
Feeding regimes are a critical process to ensure survival and reproduction, which modulate several behavioral and physiological patterns of ectotherms, especially cardiovascular adjustments. However, crocodilian myocardial contractile function after food
