Anurans as paratenic hosts in the transmission of Hepatozoon caimani to caimans Caiman yacare and Caiman latirostris

Parasitology Research, 2011
Prevalence of Hepatozoon caimani has been reported in 76% of caimans Caiman yacare from the Pantanal region. Culex (Melanoconion) spp. mosquitoes were recently identified as natural vectors of this parasite. However, culicids are not typically eaten by crocodilians, suggesting that the main transmission route is through ingestion of insectivorous ...

Morphology and function of the parathyroid gland of the caiman, Caiman crocodilus

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1976
Abstract The juvenile caiman, Caiman crocodilus , possesses two to six parathyroid glands which are embedded in the thymus, one to three on either side of the body. The number is subject to individual variation. In specimens having three parathyroids on one side of the body, the smallest may be designated as an accessory parathyroid. The parathyroid
