In addition, research was carried out for Helicobacter in stomach samples. Five adult male coatis, weighing between 2.8 and 4.2 kg, kept in captivity were used. The examination was performed by using a flexible video endoscope with the animals under dissociative anesthesia and positioned in the left lateral decubitus. In general, endoscopic findings among animals were similar. The opening of the upper esophageal sphincter had an oval shape. The esophagus had a pale pink, smooth, and shiny mucosa, with submucosal vessels along its entire length. The contour of the trachea was evident with the impression of a curved appearance on the esophagus wall. Pulsation of the aortic arch was identified in the midthoracic region. The lower esophageal sphincter had an irregular shape resembling a star. In the stomach, rough folds and a mucous membrane with a darker pink color than the esophageal mucosa were observed. The antrum did not have the presence of mucous folds. The pylorus had an oval appearance with peristaltic movements, and the duodenal mucosa had a light pink color. The rapid urease test and histopathologic examination of stomach samples were negative for Helicobacter spp. In conclusion, upper digestive endoscopy of clinically healthy coatis has several similarities with those of domestic dogs and cats, without Helicobacter identification in stomach samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1638\/2024-0073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T04:25:31Z","timestamp":1741580731000},"page":"141-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["UPPER DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY IN CAPTIVE COATIS (NASUA NASUA, LINNAEUS, 1766)"],"prefix":"10.1638","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Marina Lazzari de Carvalho","family":"Campos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheila Canevese","family":"Rahal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luna Scarpari","family":"Rolim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luciane dos Reis","family":"Mesquita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guilherme Rech","family":"Cassanego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9 Luis","family":"Filadelpho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vivian Ferreira","family":"Rech","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1213","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"CP Alves-Costa  and PC Eterovick  \"Acta Oecol.\"  32, \"Seed dispersal services by coatis (Nasua nasua, Procyonidae) and their redundancy with other frugivores in southeastern Brazil.\" 77 (2007)","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actao.2007.03.001"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"BM Beisiegel  and CB Campos  \"Biodivers Bras.\"  3, \"Avalia\u00e7\u00e3o do risco de extin\u00e7\u00e3o do quati\u2014Nasua nasua (Linnaeus, 1766) no Brasil [Evaluation of the extinction risk of the coati\u2014Nasua nasua (Linnaeus, 1766) in Brazil].\" 269 (2013)","DOI":"10.37002\/biodiversidadebrasileira.v3i1.396"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"PL Camargo, AS Uenaka, MB Motta, et al.  \"Braz J Microbiol.\"  42, \"Gastric Helicobacter spp. infection in captive neotropical Brazilian feline.\" 290 (2011)","DOI":"10.1590\/S1517-83822011000100037"},{"key":"4","unstructured":"CC Cheida, EN Oliveira, RF Costa, et al.  \"Mam\u00edferos do Brasil [Mammals of Brazil].\"  \"Ordem Carnivora [Order carnivora].\" 235 (2011)"},{"key":"5","unstructured":"JC.
