Thromboelastography in wild Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2018
BackgroundThromboelastography (TEG) provides a comprehensive evaluation of blood clot formation. This test can be used to identify abnormalities in coagulation by assessing multiple aspects of the clotting cascade, including the speed of clot initiation and formation, clot strength, and ultimately fibrinolysis.

Age and sex effects on histological features and in vitro culturing of Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus, Linnaeus 1758) dermis

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia. Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series C
The biobanks from dermal biopsies represent an interesting strategy for biodiversity conservation. Nevertheless, the morphological and cellular patterns of the dermis can be influenced by the age and sex of the individual.

BLOOD CHEMISTRY OF THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE (TRICHECHUS MANATUS)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1982
Blood from 10 clinically healthy West Indian manatees (8 wild, 2 captive) was analyzed for the common blood chemical substances. No sex differences were found. The results were comparable for the most part to those of the common domestic mammals. Notable exceptions were the anion gaps, and total proteins and A/G ratios which were higher than those for ...

MYCOBACTERIOSIS IN TWO CAPTIVE FLORIDA MANATEES (TRICHECHUS MANATUS LATIROSTRIS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2003
Two male Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) died at the marine aquarium in Inagi City, Tokyo, Japan. Acid-fast bacteria were demonstrated in tuberculoid nodules in the lungs from both manatees. Mycobacterium marinum and M. fortuitum were isolated from one manatee; M. marinum and M. kansasii were cultured from the second animal.

PROFOUND HYPOGLYCEMIA AND BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING METHODOLOGIES IN FLORIDA MANATEES (TRICHECHUS MANATUS LATIROSTRIS) PRESENTED TO A CRITICAL CARE CENTER

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine
: Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) continue to experience pressure from various stressors that frequently result in the need for rescue and veterinary assistance. Interestingly, a subset of rescued manatees in critical condition exhibits

Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus) tolerate acute food deprivation associated with a modest reduction in body mass

Physiology
Acute food deprivation induces metabolic shifts toward a greater reliance on lipid metabolism to sustain homeostasis in marine mammals. Lipid utilization depends on diet, metabolic rate, environmental conditions, and food availability. Antillean manatees

Renal anatomy of the manatee, Trichechus manatus, linnaeus

American Journal of Anatomy, 1989
AbstractThe manatee kidney is com posed of several closely apposed lobes. These are formed by cortical folds (plicae corticales) that completely isolate the medullae, except where the medullae of adjacent lobes are partially fused. The cortex is continuous; its folds usually are separated, but only partially, by interlobar septa ex tending from the ...
