Environmental factors associated with Toxoplasma gondii exposure in Neotropical Primates of Costa Rica
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020-10-22)
The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) has been found in more than 350 species of homoeothermic vertebrates in diverse climates and geographic areas. In most animals, T. gondii produces mild or asymptomatic ...
Neotropical bats that co-habit with humans function as dead-end hosts for dengue virus
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2017-05-18)
Several studies have shown Dengue Virus (DENV) nucleic acids and/or antibodies present
in Neotropical wildlife including bats, suggesting that some bat species may be susceptible
to DENV infection. Here we aim to elucidate ...
Serosurvey of nonhuman primates in Costa Rica at the human–wildlife interface reveals high exposure to flaviviruses
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing (MDPI), 2021-06-15)
Arthropod-borne viruses belonging to the flavivirus genus possess an enormous relevance
in public health. Neotropical non-human primates (NPs) have been proposed to be susceptible to

Análisis descriptivo de las condiciones de conservación de un sitio de forrajeo de la tortuga verde del Pacífico (Chelonia mydas agassizii, Testudines: Chelonioidea) en el Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica; se toma como base el estado de salud de la tortuga y el hallazgo de plaguicidas en el ambiente / Descriptive analysis of the conservation conditions of a foraging site for the Pacific green turtle (Chelonia mydas agassizii, Testudines: Chelonioidea) in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, based on the turtle’s state of health and the discovery of pesticides in the environment
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2015-12-11)
El desarrollo de estrategias de manejo, que permitan la conservación de las tortugas marinas y del Golfo Dulce, requiere de insumos relacionados con la condición actual de la salud de estas poblaciones. Diversos estudios ...
Detection of antibodies against flavivirus over time in wild non-human primates from the lowlands of Costa Rica
(PLOS ONE, 2019-07-05)
Two-hundred-nine free ranging non-human primates from 31 locations throughout Costa
Rica were captured and released between 1993 and 2012, and blood samples, sera or
plasma were collected, to detect antigens and antibodies, ...
Blood parameters of the Eastern Pacific green turtle (Chelonia mydas) foraging in the Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica
(Springer, 2021)
The Eastern Pacifc green turtle (EPGT) has been diferentiating from the green turtle and is currently being considered
a separate population. In this study, values for hematology and biochemistry of 85 green turtles ...
