Capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris), the largest rodent in the world, is widely distributed in South America. These animals live in areas with abundant water, which makes them a potential reservoir for Leptospira. The objective of this study was to investigate seroconversion, leptospiremia, and leptospiruria in capybaras experimentally infected with a

The Geographic Spread of “El mal de las caderas” in Capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris)
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2008The aim of this work is to describe an epidemiological model for a capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) population. The model considers a tabanid ("mutuca") population (Diptera: tabanidae), as a vector for the disease called "mal de las caderas" in Estero del Ibera, Corrientes, Argentina.

Fibrinolytic and coagulation properties of capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris, LINNAEUS, 1766) plasma were analysed and the results compared to the guinea-pig (Cavia porcellus), a close relative. Capybara fibrinogen was isolated and fibrinolysis of its plasma was carried out in a homologous system and with bovine fibrin.

The capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) is a large rodent used for human consumption in certain areas of South America. In the present study, viable Toxoplasma gondii was isolated for the first time from this host. Antibodies to T. gondii were assayed in the sera of 64 capybaras from 6 counties of São Paulo State, Brazil, using the modified ...

A note on the cecotrophy behavior in capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris)
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2000Abstract The capybara is a species that is bred for its meat in Brazil due to its elevated reproductive potential and because, being a herbivore, it does not compete directly with humans. Controversies exist regarding cecotrophy behavior in this animal.

Basilar Artery of the Capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris): an Ultrastructural Study
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2004SummaryThe present study investigated the ultrastructural features of the basilar artery of the largest rodent species, the capybara. The study suggests that the general ultrastructural morphological organization of the basilar artery of the capybara is similar to that of small rodents. However, there are some exceptions.

Gross Anatomic Organization of the Capybara's (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) Brachial Plexus
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2003SummaryThe innervation of the capybara thoracic limb was characterized. The following nerves were observed constituting the right and left brachial plexus: n. dorsalis scapulae (C4 and C5; C4, C5 and C6) which innervates the m. serratus ventralis cervicis and m. rhomboideus; n.

Abstract The capybara ( Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris ) is a wild rodent of great economical interest, which are easily domesticated. Breeding these animals in captivity constitutes a great problem due to the high rate of offspring mortality caused by infanticide.
