Postmortem Abdominal Ultrasound in Healthy Wild Mammals for Application in Forensic Veterinary Medicine. [PDF]
Diagnostic imaging methods have been used in human medicine to identify and examine cadavers to determine the cause of death. In veterinary medicine, the use of these resources is still scarce and little known, and it is necessary to establish the contribution that methods such as ultrasound could provide to the investigation of the cause of death in ...

Morphological Evaluation of the Hip Joint and Pelvic Limb Bones of the Lowland Tapir (Tapirus terrestris Linnaeus, 1758) Using Radiography and Computed Tomography. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The study aimed to characterize, through imaging examinations—including radiographs and computed tomography—the hip joint and the bones of the thigh, leg and feet in Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris). Ten pelvic limbs were collected, two from juveniles and the remaining from adults. The femoral head exhibited a rounded morphology with a well‐

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential. [PDF]
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Fatal Placental Subinvolution in a Captive Capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris, Order Rodentia) [PDF]
An adult, captive-born female capybara died of systemic thrombosis and hemoperitoneum associated with placental subinvolution. Grossly, the uterus was enlarged, segmentally thickened, and associated with a large blood clot in the abdominal cavity. There was hemometra and a large ovoid mass in each uterine horn weakly adhered to the endometrium, and ...
