| microanatomy of the moose temporomandibular joint (alces alces; linnaeus, 1758). | temporomandibular joint (tmj) histology was investigated in 8 female scandinavian moose. 5 were 1-year-old with a carcass weight (cw) of 125-140 kg, and 3 were 2-years-old (160-175 kg cw). the condylar articular surface consisted of a connective tissue lining with parallel collagen fibres. numerous blood vessels were observed adjacent to the joint chamber. below the fibrous layer, a proliferative cellular zone of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells was situated. these cells differentiated into ch ... | 2011 | 9021330 |
| estimation of accumulated dose of radiation by the method of esr-spectrometry of dental enamel of mammals. | esr-spectrometry was used to investigate radiation-induced paramagnetic centers in enamel of mammals: carnivores (polar bear and fox), ungulates (reindeer, european bison, moose), and man. values at half the microwave power saturation of the radiation signal, p1/2, evaluated at room temperature, was found to range from 16 to 26 mw for animals and man. a new approach to discrimination of the radiation induced signal from the total esr spectrum of reindeer enamel is proposed. 'dose-response' depen ... | 1996 | 9022192 |
| pathology of ocular lesions in free-living moose (alces alces) from saskatchewan. | clinical signs of impaired vision or neurological disease occurred in seven of 74 free-living moose (alces alces) from saskatchewan, canada, submitted for necropsy between 1969 and 1994. several lesions were found in each eye, including retinal degeneration (seven cases), cataract (six cases), lymphocytic-plasmacytic anterior uveitis (six cases), corneal scars (six cases), keratitis (four cases), and microphthalmia (one case), but their cause was not determined. moraxella bovis was isolated from ... | 1997 | 9027695 |
| repetitive sequence families in alces alces americana. | high-resolution derivative melting was used to obtain detailed distributions of local (g + c) contents in a number of ruminant dnas. profiles over low (g + c) regions [20-36% (g + c)] are congruent for all ruminants. this region represents 45-50% of the nuclear dna content and primarily contains intergenic and intron sequences. the high (g + c) region, where most coding sequences are found [38-68% (g + c)], is marked by satellite bands denoting the presence of transcriptionally inert, tandemly r ... | 1997 | 9115175 |
| limited polymorphism at major histocompatibility complex (mhc) loci in the swedish moose a. alces. | the swedish moose was analysed for genetic variability at major histocompatibility complex (mhc) class i and class ii dqa, dqb and drb loci using restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) and single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) techniques. both methods revealed limited amounts of polymorphism. since the sscp analysis concerned an expressed drb gene it can be concluded that the level of functional mhc class ii polymorphism, at least at the drb locus, is low in swedish moose. dna ... | 1996 | 9147694 |

| risk assessment of cadmium exposure in fort resolution, northwest territories, canada. | the aim of this study is to investigate the cadmium (cd) exposure level from traditional food in fort resolution, northwest territories. we used 24-h dietary recalls and traditional food use frequency to obtain information on traditional food consumption, and analysed cadmium concentrations in traditional food. we also estimated total cadmium intake via market and traditional food, and cigarette smoking. traditional food accounted for only 10% of the dietary energy. about 30 species of wildlife ... | 1998 | 9666890 |
| [the role of the forestomachs in the adaptation of the alimentary function in ruminants]. | dietary character of ruminants in the north is principally different between "nonselective" (cattle, sheep) and "selective" (reindeer, moose) species. due to the developed polyfunctioning, forestomach in ruminants, primarily rumen and reticulum, are involved in the homeostasis formation in enteral and interior mediums, nutrients deposition and recirculation. that provides efficiency in utilization of deficient in nutrients forage and body reserves of wild ruminants during the winter. the origina ... | 1998 | 9749460 |
| accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids by concentrate selecting ruminants. | depot fat samples from ruminants of different feeding type and--for comparison--fat samples from simple-stomached animals were collected within 3 months. individual fatty acid proportions, especially the relation of essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids to nonessential, saturated plus monounsaturated fatty acids were analyzed by gas chromatography. species can be separated into two distinct groups: depot fat of wild boar showed by far the highest content of essential fatty acids compared with a ... | 1998 | 9773506 |
| tissue migration of elaphostrongylus spp. in guinea pigs (cavia porcellus). | third-stage larvae of elaphostrongylus cervi, originating from red deer (cervus elaphus), first reached the central nervous system (cns) of guinea pigs (cavia porcellus) 11 days postinfection (dpi). neurologic signs were seen between 11 and 62 dpi in 4 of a total of 18 infected guinea pigs killed up to 112 dpi. animals showing signs had 3 or more larvae in the cns. only 1, of a total of 1,114 larvae recovered, had developed to the fourth stage at 40 dpi. a direct tissue migration by third-stage ... | 1998 | 9794639 |
| microsatellite variation in scandinavian cervidae using primers derived from bovidae. | the possibility of using microsatellite primers developed in bovidae to amplify microsatellite markers in cervidae was surveyed by using 75 microsatellite primer sets of bovine, ovine or caprine origin to analyse dna from moose, red deer, reindeer and roe deer from scandinavia. on average for the four cervids, approximately 50% of the ovine/caprine primer pairs amplified a specific pcr product, compared to only 16% of the bovine primers. approximately 50% of both ovine/caprine and bovine primers ... | 1998 | 9868926 |
| phylogeny of wapiti, red deer, sika deer, and other north american cervids as determined from mitochondrial dna. | red deer (cervus elaphus) are divided into three subspecific groups; the first group includes seven subspecies from europe and northern africa, the second group includes seven subspecies from central asia, and the third group includes nine subspecies from eastern asia, siberia, and north america. recognition of the north american wapiti as a species has been denied on the basis of morphological similarity with red deer and the circumpolar distribution of c. elaphus. sika deer (c. nippon), which ... | 1998 | 9878235 |
| the biological basis of grooming in moose: programmed versus stimulus-driven grooming. | in domestic and wild mammals, tick infestation can be a significant fitness cost. grooming behaviour has been shown to be effective in removing ticks. we studied grooming by moose, alces alces, infested with winter ticks, dermacentor albipictus, to determine which of two nonexclusive models for the regulation of tick-removal grooming, programmed or stimulus driven, best fit this host-parasite relationship. the programmed grooming model states that most grooming is driven by an internal timing me ... | 1998 | 9933554 |
| experimental narthecium ossifragum nephrotoxicity in cervids from norway. | one moose (alces alces), two red deer (cervus elaphus), two reindeer (rangifer tarandus) and two fallow deer (dama dama) were dosed intraruminally with an aqueous extract made from 30 g of bog asphodel (narthecium ossifragum) (wet weight) per kg live weight. the moose and one of the two reindeer were mildly depressed and had reduced appetite 3 to 7 days and 1 to 4 days after dosing, respectively. the serum creatinine and urea concentrations increased markedly in the moose and red deer, and moder ... | 1999 | 10073342 |
| relative efficiency of succinylcholine, xylazine, and carfentanil/xylazine mixtures to immobilize free-ranging moose. | we compared the efficiency of succinylcholine chloride, xylazine hydrochloride and carfentanil/xylazine mixtures in immobilizing 364 free-ranging moose (alces alces) between 1987 and 1997 in québec (canada). with succinylcholine chloride (0.070, 0.062, 0.051 mg/kg of estimated body weight for calves, juveniles and adults), 63% of the 252 immobilization attempts led to complete immobilization and marking, whereas 7% of the darted animals died of respiratory paralysis during handling. the moose to ... | 1999 | 10073344 |
