Homeopathic Treatment of Pododermatitis in Magellanic Penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus)

Homeopathy, 2020
Abstract Background Problems with the feet are common in penguins, with a particular predisposition to pododermatitis. This condition usually occurs due to the changes in normal activity that result from being held captive, but its precise pathogenesis is still undetermined.

Systemic Aspergillosis in an Oiled Magallanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus)

Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series B, 2001
This report describes a case of fatal aspergillosis caused by A. fumigatus during the recovery of an oiled Magallanic penguin. The possible role of aspergillosis as a possible complication responsible for the mortality of penguins surviving the first days of treatment for oil is emphasized.

Semen collection, characterization, and cryopreservation in a Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus)

Zoo Biology, 1999
A cooperative method was developed for collecting semen from a Magellanic penguin. Ejaculate parameters and semen production during a breeding season were characterized. Experiments were performed to study the effect on penguin spermatozoa of two temperatures (4°C and 21°C) for short-term storage, and two cryoprotectants (dimethylsulfoxide [DMSO] and ...

The eye of the magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus): Structure of the anterior segment

American Journal of Anatomy, 1990
AbstractWe undertook a light and scanning electron microscopic study of the eye in the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus). The anatomical peculiarities of the eyeball shape in Sphenisciformes have been previously described by others; here, we show that they are accompanied by several modifications in the organization of the anterior segment ...

Detection of paramyxoviruses in Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) on the Brazilian tropical coast

Veterinary Microbiology, 2012
Aquatic migratory birds are a major vectors by which influenza viruses and paramyxoviruses are spread in nature. Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) are usually present on the southern shores of South America and can swim as far as the southern coast of Brazil in winter.

Causes of death in Magellanic penguins Spheniscus magellanicus in southern Brazil

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms
Magellanic penguins Spheniscus magellanicus are seasonal migratory seabirds. During the migratory period, these penguins are observed mainly in the seas of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. Studies on mortality events in the species are limited, particularly those comparing free-ranging and captive penguins.

Blood‐specific isotopic discrimination factors in the Magellanic penguin ( Spheniscus magellanicus )

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2016
Rationale The use of stable isotopes for ecological studies has increased exponentially in recent years. Isotopic trophic studies are based on the assumption that animals are what they eat plus a discrimination factor.

Beach Attendance in Magellanic PenguinsSpheniscus magellanicus

Ardeola, 2013
Seabirds depend on a variety of terrestrial habitats during the part of their life cycle that they spend on land. Understanding the temporal patterns of use of these habitats provides insights into their ecological requirements, and ultimately helps to direct efforts that ensure the birds' protection.

Rhinonyssus sphenisci (Acari: Rhinonyssidae) in Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus)

Polar Biology, 2017
Nasal mites occur in different groups of birds, but little is known about their diversity associated with seabirds. The aim of this study was to verify the presence of nasal mites in the Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus), and to study their parasitological indices.
