PRESUMPTIVE DYSGERMINOMA IN AN ORANGE-SPOT FRESHWATER STINGRAY (POTAMOTRYGON MOTORO)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2015A captive-born, 13-yr-old female orange-spot freshwater stingray, (Potamotrygon motoro), presented with an acute caudodorsal swelling. Ultrasonography revealed an intracoelomic mass of mixed echogenicity containing fluid pockets. The ray was euthanatized and gross postmortem examination confirmed the presence of a fluid-filled coelomic mass in the ...

The stingrays Potamotrygon motoro and P. falkneri occurred in sympatry in the Paraguay, Lower and Middle Parana River, and belong to distinct ecomorphological groups. The construction of a hydroelectric dam in Itaipu in 1982 facilitated the invasion of Upper Parana River by both species with unpredictable ecological consequences. The aim of the present

5S rDNA genes of the stingray Potamotrygon motoro were PCR replicated, purified, cloned and sequenced. Two distinct classes of segments of different sizes were obtained. The smallest, with 342 bp units, was classified as class I, and the largest, with 1900 bp units, was designated as class II.

Envenomation by Amazonian freshwater stingray Potamotrygon motoro: 2 cases reported in Europe
Toxicon, 2006Freshwater stingrays of the Potamotrygon genus are regarded by native people in the Amazonia as dangerous fishes responsible of frequent stings. Small freshwater stingrays are imported to Europe and sold as aquarium fish because they are easy to keep captive.

Potamotrygon motoro stingray venom induces both neurogenic and inflammatory pain behavior in rodents
Toxicon, 2018Freshwater stingray accidents cause an immediate, intense, and unrelieved pain which is followed by edema, erythema and necrosis formation. Treatment for stingray envenomation is based on administration of analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Observations of reproductive features and body measurements were made on wild-caught, freshwater stingrays, Potamotrygon circularis and P. motoro, from the Amazon drainage of western Brazil and southern Colombia. Further observations were made in Detroit's Belle Isle Aquarium on a captive pair of P.

Histopathological study in wild freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon motoro in the Peruvian Amazon
Comparative Clinical Pathology, 2017The genus Potamotrygon comprises stingrays endemic to South American rivers. Potamotrygon motoro is a popular Amazonian species in ornamental fish trade. Histopathological studies of these species allow knowing the health status of these specimens. The objective of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of histopathological alterations in ...

Abstract An outbreak of a novel disease characterized by serious hemorrhage in the abdomen, ascites and bleaching of the liver was recorded in the freshwater cultured stingray Potamotrygon motoro, which is a cartilaginous fish related to sharks, in Panyu, Guangdong province of South China. The bacterial isolates from the lesions of diseased P. motoro
