The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus peruvianus) is a ruminant of the family Cervidae that is managed as a game species in the Sauce Grande area of Coto de Caza El Angolo (CCEA), Piura, Peru. The aim of this study was to propose a health protocol for the white-tailed deer of CCEA as an essential component of their management work plans as well as to serve as a model for other wildlife in protected natural areas. For the development of this protocol a literature review was done on the species, along with five visits to CCEA for the evaluation of the area and the standardization of some procedures, where biological samples were collected from white-tailed deers and domestic mammals in the area for microbiologic analysis.

Las ranas del género Telmatobius están entre las especies de fauna silvestre más traficadas en Perú debido a que son colectadas para ser usadas como fuente alimenticia o porque les atribuyen propiedades medicinales. Entre 2012 y 2013, el Laboratorio de Vida Silvestre de la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia recibió y mantuvo cerca de 400 ranas altoandinas (Telmatobius culeus) de decomisos hechos en el Mercado de La Parada en La Victoria, Lima, por la Administración Técnica Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre de Lima. En este estudio se recopila información producto del trabajo en la rehabilitación y mantenimiento en cautiverio de estos ejemplares.

El venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus peruvianus) es un rumiante de la familia Cervidae que se maneja como especie cinegética en el sector Sauce Grande del Coto de Caza El Angolo (CCEA), Piura, Perú. El objetivo de este trabajo fue proponer un protocolo sanitario para venados cola blanca del CCEA como un componente esencial en sus planes de manejo y que pueda servir como modelo para otras especies silvestres en áreas naturales protegidas. Para el desarrollo de este protocolo se hizo una revisión bibliográfica sobre la especie y se realizaron cinco visitas al CCEA para el reconocimiento del área y la estandarización de algunos procedimientos, donde se tomaron muestras biológicas del venado cola blanca y de mamíferos domésticos de la zona para análisis microbiológicos.

Leopardus pardalis, una de las ocho especies de la familia Felidae que se encuentran en el Perú, es el segundo felino manchado más grande de Sudamérica y se le puede encontrar en una gran variedad de hábitats, como bosques húmedos tropicales, pantanos, zonas matorrales espinosos, entre otros. Este trabajo reporta el primer registro fotográfico, usando cámaras trampa, de un L. pardalis (macho adulto) en el Sector Sauce Grande del Coto de Caza El Angolo, Piura, Perú, confirmándose la presencia de esta especie en esa área natural protegida.

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar y registrar las especies herpetológicas que habitan el Parque Ecológico de La Molina en Lima, Perú. Este parque es un área natural que forma parte del sistema de lomas de Villa María del Triunfo, no obstante ubicarse en el distrito de La Molina. Se registraron cinco especies de reptiles del Orden Squamata: dos serpientes, Bothrops pictus (Familia Viperidae) y Dipsas williamsi (Familia Colubridae); y tres saurios, Phyllodactylus lepidopygus (Familia Gekkonidae), Microlophus tigris y Microlophus sp. (Familia Tropiduridae). Todas las especies fueron previamente reportadas para el departamento de Lima, siendo M. tigris (n = 31/64) y P. lepidopygus (n = 29/64) las más abundantes. De las especies reportadas, dos han sido categorizadas por el Estado Peruano en situación Vulnerable (VU), B. pictus y P. lepidopygus, y una en...

El Angolo Game Reserve was created in 1975 to promote the rational use of authorized wild fauna and flora, in particular species intended for sport hunting such as the white-tailed deer, but it has few publications on health issues. There are only two reports of deer mortality events, one occurred in 1976, of which the cause of death could not be known, and a second event in 2011, where dozens of dead deer were reported and necrobacillosis was confirmed as the cause of death. Therefore, the objective of this study is to have a situational diagnosis of some infectious and parasitic diseases, and to propose a zoosanitary monitoring program for the white-tailed deer and domestic ungulates of the Sauce Grande sector of the El Angolo Game Reserve, Piura that allows knowing which parasitic and infectious agents are circulating and serves to establish preventive and control measures to avoid or...

The Telmatobius culeus relative abundance and its microhabitat use was determined. In 13 areas of Peruvian littoral of Lake Titicaca was carried out, during the dry season, since June to August 2017. In each the evaluation areas, snorkeling was used to perform three 100 x 2 m transects. A total of 38 transects were evaluated. 45 individuals were registered in only six evaluation zones. The largest number of individuals were found in the North Perka area, with a relative abundance of 10.33 individuals/hour/02 people, at a depth of 1.5 m; in seven zones no individual was registered. Individuals were found in the following micro habitats: 17 were found on aquatic vegetation, 11 in sand combined with aquatic vegetation, 9 in rock combined with aquatic vegetation, 5 in mud combined with aquatic vegetation, 2 in rock and 1 in sand. At the same time, analyzes of different water quality paramete...

The objective was to determine the hematological values of the Tumbes crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), a species categorized as in critical endangered of extinction by the Peruvian Government. Blood samples were collected by puncture of the venous sinus located in the postoccipital cervical region of male individuals separated into two age groups (15 juveniles and 15 sub-adult individuals) apparently healthy from the Tuna Carranza Aquaculture Center, Puerto Pizarro in Tumbes, Peru. After collecting the blood in tubes with lithium heparin, hemogram smears were made and microcapillaries were filled for the determination of hematocrit. The samples were sent and processed in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. The average values found were: 23.56% ± 3.23 of hematocrit, 8.48 g/dL ± 2.13 of hemo...

The aim of this study was to identify gastrointestinal parasites present in wild yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Lagothrix flavicauda) in the Corosha district, Amazonas department, Peru. Twenty fecal samples were collected immediately after defecation. Each sample was separated into two portions to be fixed in 10% formalin at 65 ºC and in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The samples were analyzed using the Direct, Ritchie, Sheather Sugar, Gomori trichrome staining and modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining methods. The gastrointestinal parasites found were four nematodes (Capillaria sp, Ancylostoma sp, Strongyloides cebus, Strongyloides sp), one cestode (Paratriotaenia oedipomidatis), one acantocephalus (Prosthenorchis elegans) and three protozoa (Entamoeba coli, Cryptosporidium sp, Coccidia sp. Coccidia sp is a new genus reported for Lagothrix flavicauda.
