Article Abstract
This research aimed to study the rostral part of the head of the six-banded armadillo, applying advanced imaging techniques such as CT. Furthermore, by combining the images obtained through this technique with anatomical cross-sections, an adequate description of the structures that constitute the rostral part of the head of this species is presented. This anatomical information could provide a valuable diagnostic tool for the clinical evaluation of different disorders in the six-banded armadillo's nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

In this research, we examined the head of the six-banded armadillo () using advanced imaging techniques, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and correlated these findings with the anatomical cross sections. For this, we analyzed three adult specimens. By integrating imaging data with anatomical cross-sections, we present a detailed description of the structures that constitute the head of this species, highlighting its most distinctive features.

Six-banded armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus), a non-endangered species, serve as a valuable experimental model for developing assisted reproductive technologies aimed at conserving endangered species within the order Cingulata. However, limited knowledge of their reproductive biology presents a critical challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacological semen collection protocol and compare Karras-modified staining using brightfield microscopy (KA), phase contrast microscopy (PC), and differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC) for assessing sperm morphology.

Background: There is a crucial need to develop appropriate cryopreservation solutions so that somatic resource biobanks of wildlife can be established.
Objective: Here, we propose a cryopreservation protocol to optimize the preservation of skin-derived fibroblasts from six-banded armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus Linnaeus, 1758) by comparing different concentrations of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the absence or presence of sucrose as non-permeable cryoprotectants.
Materials And Methods: Cells were cryopreserved by slow freezing with different solutions containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), varying concentrations of FBS (10, 20 and 40%) without or with 0.

The objective of this study was to characterize and estimate the population of ovarian preantral follicles in juvenile six-banded armadillos. Pairs of ovaries from five armadillos were collected during a routine epidemiological survey of leprosis (three healthy and two infected females). Ovaries weighed approximately 0.
