Sporotrichosis in the Orinoco river basin of Venezuela and Colombia

Mycopathologia, 1989
Six cases of sporotrichosis from the Orinoco river basin of Venezuela and Colombia are described; two are of the localized cutaneous type and four are lymphocutaneous. Diagnosis was based on the patient's clinical history and mycological culture. Epidemiology and distinctive cultural habits of the patients are discussed in connection with disease ...

The history of a continent from UPb ages of zircons from Orinoco River sand and SmNd isotopes in Orinoco basin river sediments

open access: yesChemical Geology, 1997
Abstract We report SHRIMP UPb ages of 49 zircons from a sand sample from the lower Orinoco River, Venezuela, and Nd model ages of the fine sediment load from the main river and tributaries. The UPb ages reflect individual magmatic or metamorphic events, the SmNd model ages reflect average crustal-residence ages of the sediment sources.

The biogeochemistry of lipids in rivers of the Orinoco Basin

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1995
Abstract Water samples from rivers in the Orinoco Basin were examined in order to assess the biogeochemistry of particle-associated and dissolved lipids. Lipid fractions were characterised so as to determine their origin, speciation, variability in individual rivers, and their flux to the lower Orinoco River. Aliphatic hydrocarbons, ketones, alcohols,

A new species of Tyttocharax (Characiformes: Characidae: Stevardiinae) from the Güejar river, Orinoco river Basin, Colombia [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology, 2012
A new Tyttocharax species from the Güejar River system, near the Macarena Mountains in Colombia is described. This is the first record for the genus from the Orinoco basin. The combination of the following characters distinguish Tyttocharax metae from its congeners: presence of bony hooks on the pectoral and caudal-fin rays; bony hooks on the anal-fin ...

Mercury in Populations of River Dolphins of the Amazon and Orinoco Basins

EcoHealth, 2019
In the Amazon and Orinoco basins, mercury has been released from artisanal and industrial gold mining since the Colonial time, as well as a result of deforestation and burning of primary forest, that release natural deposits of methyl mercury, affecting the local aquatic vertebrate fauna.

Germanium and silicon in rivers of the Orinoco drainage basin

Nature, 1990
CONTINENTAL weathering and mid-ocean-ridge hydrothermal circulation are the two main processes that release dissolved silicon to the ocean. It has been hypothesized1 that temporal variations in the relative strengths of these two processes might be estimated from the Ge/Si ratio of opal in marine sediments, because the chemistry of germanium is similar

Fishes and aquatic habitats of the Orinoco River Basin: diversity and conservation

Journal of Fish Biology, 2016
About 1000 freshwater fishes have been found so far in the Orinoco River Basin of Venezuela and Colombia. This high ichthyological diversity reflects the wide range of landscapes and aquatic ecosystems included in the basin. Mountain streams descend from the high Andes to become rapid‐flowing foothill rivers that burst out upon vast savannah flatlands ...
