Dirofilaria immitis Identified in Galapagos Sea Lions (Zalophus wollebaeki): A Wildlife Health and Conservation Concern
JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE DISEASES, 59(3), 487–494.
author keywords: Dirofilaria immitis; Galapagos Islands; heartworm; Zalophus wollebaeki
MeSH headings : Animals; Dogs; Male; Sea Lions; Dirofilaria immitis; Animals, Wild; Caniformia; Animals, Domestic; Endangered Species; Dirofilariasis / epidemiology; Dog Diseases
TL;DR:
This is the first report of D. immitis infection in Galapagos sea lions, and widespread adoption of routine heartworm testing, prevention, and treatment in the canine population, and the control of mosquitos, could potentially reduce the disease impact on this endangered pinniped species.

Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Galapagos birds: Inference of risk factors associated with diet
PLOS ONE, 18(7).
MeSH headings : Animals; Humans; Toxoplasma; Prevalence; Plant Breeding; Animals, Wild / parasitology; Passeriformes; Risk Factors; Diet; Toxoplasmosis, Animal / parasitology; Antibodies, Protozoan
TL;DR:
Results indicate that the consumption of tissue cysts poses the highest risk of exposure to T. gondii for Galapagos birds, followed by the ingestion of plants and insects contaminated by oocysts as important transmission pathways.

HEALTH STATUS OF NAZCA BOOBIES (SULA GRANTI) ON DAPHNE MAJOR ISLAND IN THE GALAPAGOS DETERMINED BY HEMATOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY, AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE, 52(2), 671–679.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bird Diseases / diagnosis; Bird Diseases / epidemiology; Birds / blood; Ecuador / epidemiology; Female; Hematologic Tests / veterinary; Male; Serologic Tests / veterinary
TL;DR:
The time between capture and blood collection had a significant inverse relationship on plasma sodium, potassium, hemoglobin, anion gaps, and lymphocyte counts, suggesting that blood sampling in Nazca boobies should be done in less than 5 m to avoid the impacts of stress on hematological parameters.

EVALUATION OF THE OPHTHALMIC DISEASE AND HISTOPATHOLOGIC EFFECTS DUE TO THE OCULAR TREMATODE PHILOPHTHALMUS ZALOPHI ON JUVENILE GALAPAGOS SEA LIONS (ZALOPHUS WOLLEBAEKI)
JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE, 49(3), 581–590.
author keywords: Conjunctival biopsy; eye trematode; Galapagos sea lion; Philophthalmus zalophi; Zalophus wollebaeki
