The role of touch in captive and semi-captive Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)

Behaviour, 2021
Abstract Tactile signals have been neglected in aquatic animal studies despite being a major communication modality. We investigated Antillean manatees’ tactile behavioural repertoire and budget in captivity (7-females and 4-males) and semi-captivity (4-males) in Brazil.

Thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis in a captive geriatric Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus)

Journal of Comparative Pathology
Vertebral column deviations, namely scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and combinations thereof, are poorly characterized in marine mammals. Here we present the clinical history and the post-mortem pathological and computed tomography (CT) scan analysis results on a 52-year-old captive female Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) from Brazil.

Hematology of the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 1982
SummaryHemograms on blood obtained from 10 clinically normal West Indian Manatees (Trichechus manatus) were studied. The red cells were large and in lower number than in most terrestrial species. The manatee does not have a neutrophil as is present in most species, but it has a heterophil whose granules stain pink with the Wright‐Giemsa stain.The ...

Case report on helminth parasites of a necropsied Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) in Belize

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2020
Sirenians are parasitized by a number of nematodes and trematodes, most which appear to be host specific. Reports of parasitism in the West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, exist for several regions within the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea, but there is a lack of parasitic data existing for the manatee subspecies living ...

Trichechus manatus latirostris (Manatee)

1977
Lymphocyte cultures were used for these karyotypes which were kindly donated by Dr. D.A. Duffield, Los Angeles, California. They come from Florida manatees and pairing is arbitrary, following that of White et al. (1976). Only one previous manatee, T. inunguis has been studied with 2n=56 (Loughman et al., 1970).

Status and distribution of the West Indian manatee, Trichechus manatus manatus, in Colombia

Biological Conservation, 2001
Historical and recent information on the status and distribution of West Indian manatee, Trichechus manatus manatus, in Colombia was reviewed. Opportunistic and systematic interviews were also conducted. Historical information suggested that the distribution of manatees had been reduced in the Caribbean basin. Manatees can be found in the Atrato, Sinu,

Bipolaris hawaiiensis as an emerging cause of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in an Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2015
Phaeohyphomycoses are emerging and opportunistic diseases caused by dematiaceous fungi that infect many animal species. This paper describes a case of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in an Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus caused by Bipolaris hawaiiensis.

Preliminary Results Call Playbacks in Wild Antillean Manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)

Aquatic Mammals
The Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) is a herbivorous aquatic mammal distributed from Mexico to Central America. Manatees produce different types of vocalizations, and playback experiments can help to study their acoustic communication and locate individuals in the wild.

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 ...
