Ocurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis, Natterer, 1883) [PDF]

Biotemas, 2007
The apicomplexa protozoa Cryptosporidium infects several mammals, including terrestrial and aquatic species. In the epidemiology of this infection, the ingestion of water and/or food contamined with oocysts comprises the main mechanism of transmission to

Placentation in the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) [PDF]

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2008
Evidence from several sources supports a close phylogenetic relationship between elephants and sirenians. To explore whether this was reflected in similar placentation, we examined eight delivered placentae from the Amazonian manatee using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.

Wild meat trade over the last 45 years in the Peruvian Amazon

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The trade in wild meat is an important economic component of rural people's livelihoods, but it has been perceived to be among the main causes of the decline of wildlife species. Recently, the COVID‐19 pandemic has brought to light an additional concern of wildlife markets as a major human‐health challenge.

Morphometric and structural analysis of Florida manatee spermatozoa

The Anatomical Record, Volume 305, Issue 2, Page 446-461, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Sperm characteristics, such as sperm morphology and sperm morphometry are important in assessing sperm quality. This is especially important for the management and conservation of endangered and exotic species, like the Florida manatee, where information of this nature is extremely limited.

Comparative examination of pinniped craniofacial musculature and its role in aquatic feeding

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 240, Issue 2, Page 226-252, February 2022., 2022
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses) have strong, powerful craniofacial muscles that reflect their aquatic habitat and underwater feeding strategies. Their well‐developed facial expression, mastication, tongue, and hyoid muscles allow pinnipeds to successfully capture prey in dynamic marine ecosystems across the globe.
