Body Condition and Blood Biochemistry of Free-Range Caiman latirostris in Northeast Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology
The Atlantic Forest broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) inhabits regions within one of the world's most ecologically diverse ecosystems, yet few studies have explored the relationship between body condition, blood biochemistry, and environmental ...

O PRIMEIRO REGISTRO DE ATAQUE DE Caiman latirostris EM UNIDADE DE CONSERVAÇÃO DA NATUREZA.

Anais do Uso Público em Unidades de Conservação
Crocodilian attacks involve the larger-bodied species across multiple regions of the world, especially in tropical regions. In Brazil, the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) has a wide geographic distribution along the coastal zone, overlapping ...

Effects of change in temperature on the cardiac contractility of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) during digestion.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2021
In many reptiles, digestion has been associated with the selection of higher body temperatures, the so-called post-prandial thermophilic response. This study aimed to investigate the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in postprandial broad-snouted ...

What Is Caiman latirostris Teaching Us About Endocrine Disruptors?

2023
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which include a large variety of man-made chemicals frequently used around the world, are substances that behave as endogenous hormones or as inhibitors of their actions. The negative impact of EDCs on laboratory rodents, humans and aquatic and avian species has been deeply studied for years.

A true facultative carnivore? Effects of replacing ground chicken carcasses with soybean meal on the growth of captive broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) and its economics implications.

Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition
A specific diet for broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris has not been designed despite the value of farm-raised caiman as an aquaculture product. To fill this gap, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance dietary replacement of ...

ISOLATION OF SALMONELLA SPP. FROM YACARE CAIMAN (CAIMAN YACARE) AND BROAD-SNOUTED CAIMAN (CAIMAN LATIROSTRIS) FROM THE ARGENTINE CHACO

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2011
Presence of Salmonella spp. was evaluated in yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) and broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) from a ranching facility in the Argentine Chaco. Crocodilian ranching programs are based on captive breeding of wild-harvested eggs and release of excess hatchlings into the wild.

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 ...

Serum Biochemical Profile, Intestinal and Liver Histomorphometry of Captive Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) Fed With a Diet Enriched With Soybean (Glycine max).

Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition
The impact of plant-based diets on crocodilians is unclear. Serum profiles and histomorphometry provide valuable insights into their nutritional and physiological status.

Antibodies against Leptospira spp. in Free-Living and Captive Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) and Free-Living Yacare Caiman (Caiman yacare) in Brazil

Journal of Wildlife Diseases
: We evaluated antibodies against Leptospira spp. in both free-living and captive Caiman latirostris from Atlantic Forest, and free-living Caiman yacare from Pantanal, Brazil, by using a microscopic agglutination test.

Baroreflex control of heart rate in the broad-nosed caiman Caiman latirostris is temperature dependent

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2010
It has been suggested that ectothermic vertebrates primarily control blood pressure to protect the pulmonary vasculature from oedema caused by high pressure, while endothermic vertebrates control blood pressure to maintain adequate oxygen delivery to the tissues. In the present study we have characterised how temperature affects the cardiac limb of the
