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 ...

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.

Periods of drought have been observed in the Brazilian Pantanal for several decades, typically occurring from May to November. These droughts impact the conservation of thousands of species, including the yacare caiman (Caiman yacare). This study aimed to describe the pathologic and parasitologic findings from postmortem examinations of free-ranging ...

The distribution of Caiman crocodilus crocodilus and Caiman yacare populations in Brazil
Amphibia-Reptilia, 1998Abstract The distribution and relationships among populations of Caiman crocodilus crocodilus and Caiman yacare were investigated throughout Brazil. Caiman c. crocodilus inhabits the drainages of the Rio Solimões/Rio Amazonas, Araguaia, Araguari, Itapicuru, Paranaiba, Negro, Tapajos, Tocantins, Xingú, and the ...

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).

The prevalence and parasitemia of Hepatozoon caimani in the natural population of the caiman, Caiman yacare, from the Pantanal area, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, central Brazil, were evaluated according to gender and month of capture from July 2006 to February 2008.

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.

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

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.
