Limited information is available regarding the role of minerals and heavy metals in the morbidity and mortality of manatees. Whole-blood and serum mineral concentrations were evaluated in apparently healthy, free-ranging Florida (Trichechus manatus latirostris, n = 31) and Belize (Trichechus manatus manatus, n = 14) manatees.

Debris ingestion by the Antillean Manatee ( Trichechus manatus manatus )
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015The Antillean manatee inhabits coastal regions of North and Northeastern Brazil and currently is considered an endangered species in the country. Aiming to gather information for the development of public policies focusing on the conservation of manatees, the National Center for Research and Conservation of Aquatic Mammals of the Chico Mendes Institute

Status and conservation of manatees Trichechus manatus manatus in Costa Rica
Biological Conservation, 1995Aerial and boat surveys and interviews of coastal residents of Costa Rica suggest that manatees Trichechus manatus manatus are rare, even in regions such as Tortuguero, where they were reported to be fairly numerous in the recent past. Causes of the apparent decline have been suggested by local residents to include illegal hunting, high levels of ...

The role of touch in captive and semi-captive Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)
Behaviour, 2021Abstract 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 PathologyVertebral 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.

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 ...

Hematology of the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 1982SummaryHemograms 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 ...

Trichechus manatus latirostris (Manatee)
1977Lymphocyte 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, 2001Historical 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,
