Gastrointestinal parasites and ectoparasites of Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni sloths in captivity from Costa Rica
(American Association of Zoo Veterinanrans, 2009-03)
Sloths may serve as host to a wide range of parasites. However, there is little information available on
the types of parasites that affect Costa Rica's sloth population. During a 1-yr period, 65 specimens of Costa Rican ...
Detection of antibodies against Sarcocystis neurona, Neospora spp., and Toxoplasma gondii in horses from Costa Rica
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2011)
Serum samples from 315 horses from Costa Rica, Central
America, were examined for the presence of antibodies against Sarcocystis
neurona, Neospora spp., and Toxoplasma gondii by using the surface
antigen (SAG) SnSAG2 ...
Serological positivity against selected Flaviviruses and Alphaviruses in free-ranging bats and birds from Costa Rica evidence exposure to Arboviruses Seldom reported locally in humans
(MDPI, 2022)
Abstract: Arboviruses have two ecological transmission cycles: sylvatic and urban. For some, the
sylvatic cycle has not been thoroughly described in America. To study the role of wildlife in a
putative sylvatic cycle, ...
Distribución geográfica de garrapatas duras (Parasitiformes: Ixodidae) en ambiente y animales domésticos de diferentes ecotopos en Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2019-08)
Durante el 2009 se recolectaron e identificaron garrapatas de
ambiente (bosque primario [BP], bosque secundario [BS]

Prevalence Estimation, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Serotyping of Salmonella enterica Recovered from New World Non-Human Primates (Platyrrhini), Feed, and Environmental Surfaces from Wildlife Centers in Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2023)
Concern about zoonoses and wildlife has increased. Few studies described the role of wild mammals and environments in the epidemiology of Salmonella. Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem associated with Salmonella ...
Spirorchiidiosis (Digenea: Spirorchiidae) and lesions associated with parasites in Caribbean green turtles (Chelonia mydas)
(British Veterinary Association, 2015)
Forty-seven nesting green turtles (Chelonia mydas) were examined for parasitic pathogens. Four species
of cardiovascular flukes (Digenea: Spirorchiidae), Learedius learedi, Hapalotrema postorchis, Monticellius
indicum ...
Anopheles albimanus (Diptera: Culicidae) Ensemble Distribution Modeling: Applications for Malaria Elimination
(MDPI, 2022)
In the absence of entomological information, tools for predicting Anopheles spp. presence
can help evaluate the entomological risk of malaria transmission. Here, we illustrate how species
distribution models (SDM) could ...
Antimicrobial resistance genes in pigeons from public parks in Costa Rica
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2017)
Antimicrobial resistance is known to be an emerging problem, but the extent of
the issue remains incomplete. The aim of this study was to determine the pres-
ence or absence of nine resistance genes (blaTEM, catI, mecA, ...
