The cytoskeleton of the electric tissue of Electrophorus electricus, L. [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2000 The electric eel Electrophorus electricus is a fresh water teleost showing an electrogenic tissue that produces electric discharges. This electrogenic tissue is distributed in three well-defined electric organs which may be found symmetrically along both

Unexpected species diversity in electric eels with a description of the strongest living bioelectricity generator [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 A single species of electric eel, Electrophorus electricus, has been described. Here, de Santana et al. show that there are three major lineages of Electrophorus distributed across Greater Amazonia and describe two new species, one with a much stronger ...

Spontaneous peripheral neuritis in two electric eels (Electrophorus electricus).
The Journal of veterinary medical science, 2019 This study represents cases with spontaneous neuritis of peripheral nerves in electric eels. Two electric eels were presented with abnormal swimming behavior and loss of appetite. Electric eels had extensive histopathologic lesions in the splenic and cardiac nerves. The lesions were characterized by swelling of neuronal cells, central chromatolysis and
