(PLOS ONE, 2017-01-26)
One hundred and fifty-two blood samples of non-human primates of thirteen rescue centers in Costa Rica were analyzed to determine the presence of species of Plasmodium using thick blood smears, semi-nested multiplex ...
Apparent lack of evidence on selected infectious agents in wild Yellow-naped Amazon parrots: implications for releasing attempts
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2015-05-09)
Blood and feather samples, as well as oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs, were collected
from nine free-ranging Amazona auropalliata between January and May 2009 in two highly
modified landscapes in northern Costa Rica. ...
