“…The differential involvement of bilaterally paired organs during infections has been described. Maned wolves ( Chrysocyon brachyurus ) contract giant kidney worms ( Dioctophyma renale ) as pups, and these parasites always infect the right kidney, leading to severe damage or destruction of the organ ( 17 ). In children, tuberculosis progression with mucosal ulceration and granuloma formation is more likely to occur in the right lung ( 18 ).…”

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a chronic systemic mycosis caused by the inhalation of the thermally dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis as well as the recently described P. lutzii. Because the primary infection occurs in the lungs, we investigated the differential involvement of the right and left lungs in experimental P. brasiliensis infection. Lungs were collected from C57BL/6 mice at 70 days after intravenous infection with 1×106 yeast cells of a virulent strain of P. brasiliensis (Pb18). The left lung, which in mice is smaller and has fewer lobes than the right lung, yielded increased fungal recovery associated with a predominant interleukin-4 response and diminished synthesis of interferon-γ and nitric oxide compared with the right lung. Our data indicate differential involvement of the right and left lungs during experimental PCM. This knowledge emphasizes the need for an accurate, standardized protocol for tissue collection during studies of experimental P. brasiliensis infection, since experiments using the same lungs favor the collection of comparable data among different mice.

“…In addition to mediocre reproductive success, maned wolves suffer from several parasitic and disease problems, including giant kidney worm (Dioctophyma renale) (Giovannoni and Molfi, 1960;Lamina and Black, 1966;Matera et al, 1968). This parasite is commonly fatal in captive and probably also in free-living maned wolves.…”

upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.

“…Varias especies silvestres son hospedadoras de D. renale, siendo un hallazgo muy frecuente en aguará guazú (Chrysocyon brachyurus) (Illiger 1815) en Brasil (Matera et al 1968;Carneiro et al 1974;Buschinelli 1991;Bevilaqua et al 1993;Leite et al 1994;Diniz et al 1999;Varzone et al 2008;Braga et al 2010;Cansi et al 2012;Duarte et al 2013), Paraguay (Pallares & Valese 1970;Kumar et al 1972) y Bolivia (Deem & Emmons 2005;Emmons 2012). Los registros en Argentina también son frecuentes (Grosso et al 1944a y b;Lamina & Brack 1966;Becacceci 1990;Estévez et al 1993;Mussart et al 2003;Soler et al 2005Soler et al , 2006Pautasso & Fandiño 2008;Ruiz et al 2010;González et al 2013;Ruiz et al 2018;Rigonatto et al 2019), pero en su mayor parte tienen una antigüedad de más de 10 años.…”
