Encephalomyocarditis virus in a capybara ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris )

Veterinary Record Case Reports, 2023
Abstract Encephalomyocarditis virus is responsible for epizootics and sporadic mortalities worldwide, particularly in zoos, and in non‐rodent species is characterised by sudden death due to acute myocarditis.

VASCULAR DAMAGE CAUSED BY Cruorifilaria tuberocauda IN THE CAPYBARA (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1978
Infection with Cruorifilaria tuberocauda caused vascular damage in the kidneys, lungs and heart of the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris). The most significant lesions observed were in the renal and pulmonary arteries. They consisted of villous endarteritis, intimal and medial hypertrophy of the vessel walls, and large rugose protuberances that ...

The Electrocardiogram of the Capibara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, Linné)1

Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe A, 2010
Summary Standard and augmented limb leads taken sequentially and three orthogonal leads, I, aVF and V10 (representing the Z axis), taken simultaneously, were recorded from 15 capibaras of both sexes. Heart rates were recorded from unanesthetized and tranquilized (using Xylazine and Ketamine) capibaras. The wave forms of the QRS complex were analyzed

Behavioral observations in a capybara colony (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1985
Abstract Capybaras ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris ), the largest living rodents, are receiving increasing interest as an economically attractive source of meat and hides in tropical America. An unmanaged capybara colony was studied in a setting adjacent to agricultural activities in Brazil.

Capybara Bites: Report of Human Injury Caused by a Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2015
Health care demand due to animal bites is frequent, especially in the emergency department (ED). In addition to the physical trauma caused by bites, one should be concerned with infectious diseases that can be transmitted. The range of the lesions depends on the animal species.

Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) Salivary Glands Morphology

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia
ABSTRACTMorphological studies concerning salivary glands have emerged as an exciting tool to understand feeding habits. In this sense, this study aimed to describe capybara salivary glands morphology to understand potential morphological associations to this species feeding habits.

Seminiferous epithelium cycle and its duration in capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)

Tissue and Cell, 1999
Although capybara is the largest rodent in the world and largely distributed in Central and South America, there is no report in the literature concerning the cycle of seminiferous epithelium in this species. In the present study, the length of spermatogenic cycle was estimated using intratesticular injections of tritiated thymidine.

Digestion in the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)

2016
A study was undertaken to examine the digestion and fermentation in the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) fed either forage or a predominantly concentrate diet. The large volume of digesta (3,66 and 2,73 kg), pH (6,6 and 6,3), NH3 - N (78and 146 mgN/I) and VFA (44 and 41 mM) in the caecum of animals fed forage and high concentrate, respectively ...

The muscular organization of the stomach of Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris): an architectural view

Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2005
Twenty-two stomachs from adult capybaras were used in this study, and an acid digestion mesoscopic technique was pursued using different concentrations of nitric acid to observe the muscular organization of the stomach. The capybara's stomach possessed a muscular coat composed of four layers or strata: external longitudinal, external oblique, circular ...

Management implications of capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) social behavior

Biological Conservation, 2008
Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are the world's largest rodent. Free-living populations are commercially harvested for their meat and leather in Colombia, Venezuela and Argen- tina; however, there is concern that legal and illegal harvesting is not sustainable.
