Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at

Ichthyofauna Used in Traditional Medicine in Brazil

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Fish represent the group of vertebrates with the largest number of species and the largest geographic distribution; they are also used in different ways by modern civilizations. The goal of this study was to compile the current knowledge on the use of ichthyofauna in zootherapeutic practices in Brazil, including ecological and conservational commentary

A histology-based study in apparently healthy wild freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon motoro [PDF]

Comparative Clinical Pathology, 2015
Histopathological studies are important as a reference in pathological process. There are a few of these studies in elasmobranchs. The aim of this study was to describe the histology of kidney, spleen, liver, and gills of wild apparently healthy Potamotrygon motoro. However, we observed some pathological findings in these animals. Nineteen P.

Occurrence of multiple congenital anomalies in Potamotrygon amandae (Elasmobranchii, Potamotrygoninae) embryos, including the first report of bicephaly

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reports of teratogenic embryos in elasmobranchs have been documented in multiple species, with proposed aetiologies including environmental disturbances, genetic mutations, predation, exposure to endocrine‐disrupting compounds and maternal stress.
