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 ...

The Yacare caiman Caiman crocodilus yacare is protected by law in Brazil but is hunted illegally. Until now, few authorities have had access to data that might allow analysis of the effect of hunting. We used measurements from 2978 confiscated hides and 1358 skulls found in hunters' camps between October 1987 and September 1990 to reconstruct the sizes

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. Overall seropositivity was 17%, with rates of 36% in captive C. latirostris (n=4/11) and 18% in free-living C. yacare (n=4/22).

Nesting Ecology of the Paraguayan Caiman (Caiman yacare) in the Brazilian Pantanal
Journal of Herpetology, 1988Only one published study (Crawshaw and Schaller, 1980) has discussed the nesting biology of Caiman yacare. Most nests described in that study were found along the Bento Gomes River, on the border of the Pantanal, a large (100,000 km2) area of seasonal swampland of the upper basin of the Paraguay River.

The Pantanal region is the largest floodplain area in the world and of great biological importance due to its unique flora and fauna. This area is continuously undergoing increasing anthropogenic threats, and has also experienced mercury contamination associated with gold mining and other anthropogenic activities.

Arcobacter spp. in fecal samples from Brazilian farmed caimans (Caiman yacare, Daudin 1802)
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2017The aim of this study was to perform the identification and molecular characterization of Arcobacter cryaerophilus and Arcobacter butzleri isolated from caiman (Caiman yacare), kept at a production farm, in Brazil. Forty fecal samples were analyzed. After isolation and identification, 21/40 strains of A. butzleri and 19/40 strains of A.

Sorption isotherms of alligator's meat (Caiman crocodilus yacare)
Journal of Food Engineering, 2002Abstract Sorption isotherms were determined for salted alligator's meat at four different temperatures (10°C, 15°C, 25°C and 35°C), using a standard gravimetric method. The goodness of fit of five sorption models to experimental data was determined.

Reproduction and displacements of known-age caimans Caiman yacare in the Pantanal of Brazil
The Herpetological BulletinWe recaptured 26 female and 24 male Pantanal caimans Caiman yacare of known-age up to 36 years after marking. The relationship between clutch size and age for known-age females was highly variable although one female captured multiple times between 18 and 26 years of age showed little variation in clutch size. Captured known-age females attending nests
