(2). Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a aplicabilidade da citologia vaginal no monitoramento reprodutivo de fêmeas de P. maximus de vida-livre. Entre maio de 2023 e janeiro de 2025, foram realizadas 10 capturas de cinco fêmeas adultas, monitoradas por GPS e radiotelemetria no Pantanal e no Cerrado do Mato Grosso do Sul. Todos os procedimentos foram autorizados pelo SISBIO (nº 27587-1) e pela CEUA (nº 528/2023). A anestesia foi induzida por via intramuscular com tartarato de butorfanol, cloridrato de detomidina e midazolam (0,1 mg/kg cada), seguida de cetamina (5 mg/kg)  ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION

anatomy and physiology of armadillos make anesthetic procedures and the
placement of telemetry devices challenging. From June 2011 to November 2019, a
total of 73 free-living armadillos were captured and anesthetized in the Pantanal,
Brazil. Giant (Priodontes maximus), six-banded (Euphractus sexcinctus),
southern naked-tailed (Cabassous unicinctus), and nine-banded (Dasypus
novemcinctus) armadillos were divided into two groups. In group 1, 30
armadillos were anesthetized for collection of biological samples, body
measurements, and placement of a microchip tag. Anesthetic combination BDM was
applied: butorphanol tartrate, detomidine hydrochloride, and midazolam
hydrochloride, each at 0.1 mg/kg. In group 2, 43 armadillos received ketamine
hydrochloride at 10 mg/kg 20 min after BDM injection, and intra-abdominal radio
transmitters were surgically implanted. The transmitter was inserted freely
into the abdominal cavity. Vital signs were monitored during anesthesia every
10 min and varied within species and between groups. Rectal temperature varied
from 33.1 ± 1.36 to 35.34 ± 1.21°C, heart rate (beats/min) from 19 ± 2.14 to
84.71 ± 9.25, respiratory rate (breaths/min) from 11 ± 4.16 to 31 ± 2.82, and
oxygen saturation values (SPO2%) from 84.17% ± 2.39 to 98% ± 1.20. Both groups
received the antagonist combination NYF: naloxone hydrochloride (0.02 mg/kg),
yohimbine hydrochloride (0.125 mg/kg), and flumazenil (0.01 mg/kg). Recovery
varied according to intravenous or intramuscular injection from 2 ± 4 to 8.08 ±
2.93 min respectively. BDM protocol was considered satisfactory and provided
enough time to complete the procedures (60 ± 85 to 133.20 ± 9.12 min) according
to the species and group. Ketamine added to the BDM provided enough time and a
surgical plane of anesthesia (97 ± 22 to 137 ± 39.5 min). The surgical
procedure technique chosen did not appear to have a negative impact on
armadillos studied. Implantable transmitters provide a cost-effective method
for long-term monitoring of wild individuals.","container-title":"Journal

(3). Swabs vaginais previamente umedecidos com solução fisiológica foram utilizados para a confecção de esfregaços citológicos, corados com Panótico Rápido. As lâminas foram analisadas por microscopia óptica, com contagem de 200 células por amostra, classificadas como parabasais, intermediárias (pequenas e grandes) e superficiais. Amostras de sangue foram obtidas por punção da veia femoral e centrifugadas (2500 g por 15 min) para separação do soro, que foi armazenado a -20 °C até à mensuração das concentrações de estradiol e progesterona por radioimunoensaio (Perkin Elmer 1470 Automatic Gamma Counter, Massachusetts, EUA), utilizando kits comerciais (Beckman Coulter). A citologia revelou os mesmos tipos celulares descritos na literatura para mamíferos domésticos (Figura 1), com médias (± SEM) de: parabasais (34,7 ± 29,6%), intermediárias pequenas (17,7 ± 16,3%), intermediárias grandes (9,7 ± 8,1%) e superficiais (38,0 ± 37,6%). As concentrações hormonais variaram amplamente: estradiol (422,5 ± 620,4 ng/mL) e progesterona (5,8 ± 3,3 ng/mL). O coeficiente de Spearman identificou correlações significativas (P < 0,05) entre parâmetros citológicos e hormonais, como entre estradiol e células parabasais (r = -0,68), progesterona e células intermediárias grandes (r = 0,75), células parabasais e superficiais (r = -0,82) e entre células intermediárias pequenas e grandes (r = 0,63). Os resultados parciais deste estudo sugerem que a citologia vaginal constitui uma técnica promissora para o monitoramento reprodutivo de fêmeas de P. maximus, contrastando com os achados anteriores em outras espécies da superordem Xenarthra  ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION

aim of this study was to monitor the oestrous cycle using vaginal cytology,
ultrasound and measurement of hormone levels associated with the modification
of external genitalia in female Euphractus sexcinctus. Five adult female six-banded
armadillos were used for the study. Every three days, we chemically restrained
the animals with a combined dose of ketamine and xylazine for 90 days. On
each occasion, we conducted vaginal cytology and monitored the alterations in
the vulval appearance. In addition, we obtained blood samples for serum
estradiol and progesterone analysis and evaluated the ovaries by
ultrasonography (8 MHz). As results, at least two entire cycles were
monitored per female as based on external oestrous signs. We determined that
six-banded armadillos' oestrous cycle lasts 23.5 ± 3.12 days,
comprising 8.8 ± 1.4 days for oestrogen phase, in which we
verified vaginal bloody discharge, vulvar oedema, presence of mucus and ease of
introduction of the swab. During oestrus, females presented an oestrogen peak
of 240.66 ± 12.69 pg ml(-1) , on average, with a positive
visualization of ovary follicles by ultrasound. The progesterone phase lasts
15.62 ± 2.1 days, characterized by the absence of bloody
secretion and difficulty in introducing the swab; there was verification of a
progesterone plateau of 10.83 ± 1.86 ng ml(-1) , on
average, with identification of corpora lutea in 60% of the ovaries. This is
apparently the first description of the six-banded armadillos' oestrous cycle,
which proves the efficiency of a multiparametric analysis to monitor
it.","container-title":"Reproduction in Domestic Animals =

Este é o primeiro estudo a empregar esta abordagem em P. maximus, representando uma contribuição inédita ao conhecimento da reprodução desta espécie ameaçada.
