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, 1976Abstract 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

Gastric Nematodes of the Paraguayan Caiman, Caiman yacare (Alligatoridae)
The Journal of Parasitology, 1991Examination of the stomach contents of 115 Caiman yacare Daudin, 1802, from Paraguay revealed the presence of the nematodes Brevimulticaecum baylisi (Travassos, 1933), Brevimulticaecum stekhoveni (Baylis, 1947), Contracaecum sp. of Railliet and Henry, 1912, Dujardinascaris paulista (Travassos, 1933), Eustrongylides sp. of Jagerskiold, 1909, Micropleura

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.

Studies on chromoproteins of cardiac and skeletal muscle of caimans (Caiman sclerops)
Pfl�gers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 1975In a number of caimans (Caiman sclerops) we were unable to find traces of myoglobin in any of the histologically clearly cross-striated cardiac and skeletal muscles using spectrometric methods. The red colour of the heart is due to a high concentration of cytochrome c.

On the dependence on metabolism of the cochlear potentials in Caiman (Caiman crocodilus)
Zeitschrift f�r Vergleichende Physiologie, 1971Investigation of the cochlear potentials in a reptile shows that the microphonics contain 2 components as previously observed in birds. The potentials depend to varying degrees and in a similar way as in birds on metabolism; the time course is expanded by a factor of 20.

CEPHALOSPORIOSIS IN THREE CAIMANS
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1972A fatal diffuse granulomatous pneumonia and focal necrotizing hepatitis were found at necropsy of three 6-month old caimans. Centers of the widely disseminated, discrete lesions in the lungs had a branching fungus with septate hyphae, chlamydospores, and elliptical and cigar-shaped conidia.

The Hearing of the Caiman, Caiman crocodilus
1990The caiman is an alligator which, together with the crocodiles and gavials, form the few remaining reptilian descendents of the huge group of ruling diapsid reptiles of the Mesozoic period, the archosaurs (Fig. 1.2). They are closely related to the birds, a relationship which is immediately apparent in a comparison of the structure of the inner ear ...
