After being rescued from a state of weakness, a biguá (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) specimen under clinical management conditions underwent a remarkable general improvement before abruptly deteriorating until dying within a few hours as a result of acute renal failure. Clinical analysis and post-mortem histopathological findings demonstrated the presence

Diet of the Neotropical Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) in a Patagonian Freshwater Environment Invaded by Exotic Fish [PDF]
Abstract. The diet of the Neotropical Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) was evaluated in the Limay River basin, a freshwater system invaded by exotic salmonids. Analyses of 106 pellets showed that fish were the most important prey (79.9% by numerical frequency and 86.2% by frequency of occurrence), followed by two crustacean species.

Redescription and molecular characterization of Baruscapillaria spiculata (Nematoda: Capillariidae) parasitizing the Neotropic cormorant Phalacrocorax brasilianus from two Argentinian lagoons [PDF]
Two species of intestinal Capillariidae were hitherto known from the Neotropic cormorant Phalacrocorax brasilianus, Baruscapillaria spiculata (Freitas, 1933), and Baruscapillaria appendiculata (Freitas, 1933). The original descriptions are very short and brief, and further reports of both species are scarce and/or confusing.
