Disseminated Paracoccidioidomycosis in a Southern Two-Toed Sloth (Choloepus didactylus)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2011
A Southern two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus), originally acquired from French Guiana, died while maintained in quarantine in a pet store in Monterrey, Mexico. Large yeast cells with multiple buds compatible with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were observed in disseminated granulomatous lesions in the lungs, liver, spleen and kidney.

Choloepus hoffmanni (Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth)

1970
These karyotypes were kindly donated by Drs. J. Corin and J. Corin-Frederic, University Liege, Belgium. The study was performed on ten animals (fibrous tissue culture) collected in Panama, Costa Rica and Equador. All possessed 49 chromosomes. Females are apparently XO, males have one unpaired element which in size is the 23rd autosome.

Ventilatory responses to CO2, and hypoxia in the two-toed sloth Choloepus Hoffmanni

Respiration Physiology, 1974
Abstract Sloths are unusual in that they have a low metabolic rate, a low body temperature and a low rate of secretion of thyroxine in comparison with most other mammals. Since it is known that any one of these features, if induced in a characteristic mammal, results in some altered state of the ventilatory control system, and its responses to ...

Topography of the medullary cone of Choloepus didactylus for locoregional anesthesia purposes

Veterinary Research Communications
Choloepus didactylus (two-toed sloth) is a Xenarthran mammal whose morphology has so far been little studied. Given the increasing number of sloths requiring clinical and surgical interventions, this lack of clarity regarding anatomical features and landmarks has had a negative impact on veterinary decision-making for this species.

Asymptomatic cystic calculus in a two‐toed sloth ( Choloepus didactylus )

Veterinary Record, 2006
URINARY tract disease appears to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in mature captive sloths (Moore 2001). Rappaport and Hochman (1988) described a case in which cystic calculi were a contributory factor in the development of a rectal prolapse. In the wild, sloths are arboreal and eat leaves, buds, twigs and fruit (Nowak 1999).

A Possible Vector of Endotrypanum schaudinni of the Sloth Choloepus hoffmanni, in Panama

Nature, 1964
Endotrypanum schaudinni, a haemoflagellate of sloths, has a very wide geographical distribution in America, stretching from the Amazonian Basin in the South to Costa Rica in the North. It has been shown that the infection is limited to animals which live in forest regions1.
