title: [Injuries caused by stingrays].
abstract: We report on an injury caused by the bite of a South American freshwater stingray. Although wide excision is the therapy of choice, prolonged healing must be expected. We give some information on the mode of injury and biological data regarding the genus protamotrygon. This stingray may also be bred in aquariums.
