1. Impacts of food-based enrichment on behaviour and physiology of male greater rheas (Rhea Americana, Rheidae, Aves)
Abstract Distress can be defined as a biological response of an individual to long-term threats to its homeostasis and it should be avoided from an animal welfare perspective. High levels of stress hormones and the expression of abnormal behaviours are responses normally observed in distressed animals. Captive environments can provoke distress, especially wh

2. Mycobacterium genavense infection in two species of captive snakes
Abstract Background: Mycobacterium is an important zoonotic agent with companion, livestock and wildlife animals reportedly playing a role as reservoirs. Although its association with reptiles has been described, the disease cycle remains to be fully established, particularly in snakes. Accordingly, this study aimed to report the occurrence of mycobacterios

3. Synergic effects between ocellatin-F1 and bufotenine on the inhibition of BHK-21 cellular infection by the rabies virus
Abstract Background Rabies is an incurable neglected zoonosis with worldwide distribution characterized as a lethal progressive acute encephalitis caused by a lyssavirus. Animal venoms and secretions have long been studied as new bioactive molecular sources, presenting a wide spectrum of biological effects, including new antiviral agents. Bufotenine, for i

4. What makes the heart of Boa constrictor (Squamata: Boidae) beat faster?
Body size is highly correlated with metabolism, which in turn influences physiological rates such as heart rate. In general, heart rate is negatively influenced by the size of animal's body, but there is insufficient data corroborating this pattern in snakes. This study evaluated how body size affects heart rate in captive Boa constrictor Linnaeus, 1758. We

5. Does the rattle of Crotalus durissus terrificus reveal its dietary history?
Background Environmental devastation threatens the survival of many species, including venomous snakes such as the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus. This observation is based on the decrease of snakes collected and donated to Brazilian research institutes. Nevertheless, some individuals have managed to survive and procreate. The ques

6. Microbiota and anthropic interference on antimicrobial resistance profile of bacteria isolated from Brazilian maned-wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus)
Both the study of Brazilian wild mammal fauna and the conditions that foster the preservation of endangered species, such as Brazilian Maned-wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), in wild life are of extreme importance. In order to study the resistance profile of microbiota bacterial colonizing Brazilian Maned-wolf, this work investigated samples from eight male capt

7. Assessing paternity in japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) using microsatellite markers - inferences for its mating system and reproductive success
Microsatellite markers were analyzed in Japanese quails, Coturnix japonica, using different methodologies (PAGE and automated genotyping), in order to evaluate their use in paternity testing. Ten animal triplets composed by a female and two males were used to mate and generate an offspring. Paternity was determined in five-day-old embryos, and the data gener

8. Protein, calcium and phosphorus requirements in the maintenance of captive-bred capybaras
The objective was to determine the nitrogen-protein, calcium and phosphorus requirements of adult capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) bred in captivity through a nutritional balance study under conditions that favored the occurrence of cecotrophy. In a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment, 16 adult female capybaras were fed isoca

9. Preventing injuries caused by radiotelemetry collars in reintroduced red-rumped agoutis, Dasyprocta leporina (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae), in Atlantic Forest, southeastern Brazil
Reintroduction has been recognized as a powerful conservation tool, but in order to ensure its success, animal monitoring is highly recommended. One way to monitor released animals is to put radiotelemetry collars on them. These devices, however, can harm the subjects, causing serious wounds. Our objectives in this work were to describe the injuries caused b

10. Reprodução induzida da rã-touro Lithobates catesbeianus (Shaw, 1802), utilizando diferentes tipos e dosagens do hormônio liberador da gonadotropina - GnRH.
A técnica de uso de hormônios liberadores da gonadotrofina (GnRH) na reprodução de anfíbios pode ser usada para controlar as desovas ao longo do ano, evitando atrasos na produção decorrente da sazonalidade do ciclo reprodutivo. Objetivou-se estudar a reprodução induzida da rã touro Lithobates catesbeianus, utilizando diferentes tipos e dosagens do

11. Marcadores microssatélites: ferramentas para manejo e conservação da variabilidade genética em populações de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum, Cuvier 1818)
Fishing and aquaculture are directly or indirectly important to the life of million people around the world. However, many species are being overexploited and reduced in number, without management and conservation plans to minimize the impacts caused by human activity. The management of fisheries genetic resources, from nature or captivity, depends on strict

12. Ectoparasitos em preás (Galea spixii Wagler, 1831) cativos no Semiárido do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil / Ectoparasites in guinea pigs (Galea spixii Wagler, 1831) captive in semiarid region of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Os roedores silvestres quando criados em cativeiro podem ser acometidos por algumas doenças de natureza infecciosa ou parasitária, o que afeta a sanidade e bem-estar destes animais. Nesta linha, esse trabalho objetivou identificar a ectofauna natural do preá Galea spixii criado nas condições de cativeiro no semiárido do Rio Grande do Norte e estudar o
