RENAL EVALUATION IN CHOLOEPUS SPECIES

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2020
Two species of sloths in the family Megalonychidae, Hoffmann's (Choloepus hoffmanni) and Linnaeus's (Choloepus didactylus) two-toed sloths, are commonly held in zoological institutions. Despite frequent published reports of urinary tract disease in these species, reports of diagnostics are mostly limited to descriptions of hematology and serum ...

Leishmania Braziliensis in the Panamanian Two-Toed Sloth, Choloepus Hoffmanni

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980
A total of 498 two-toed sloths, Choloepus hoffmanni, collected in central Panama was examined for Leishmania braziliensis over a 10-year period. Isolations of the parasite from 96 (19.3%) of the animals were confirmed by culture and inoculation of golden hamsters. Improved culture techniques developed toward the end of the study assisted in determining

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.

Hematological studies on the two-toed sloth, Choloepus didactylus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1963
Abstract 1. 1. Maximal erythrocyte survival times of 130 and 135 days were obtained using the Cr 51 method. 2. 2. Compared with other mammals, sloths have: higher values for blood urea nitrogen and cholesterol; comparable values for calcium, creatinine, potassium, phosphorus and bicarbonate; and lower values for glucose, chloride, sodium and

The spinal roots in the sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni peters)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1967
AbstractIn the lower half of the thoracic region in Choloepus hoffmanni, a didactyl sloth, which possesses 23 dorsal vertebrae, the spinal roots assume a rostralward direction. This situation raises difficult problems in early embryological development as it already prevails — although slightly altered — in the 100 gm foetus. The myelinated nerve fiber
