| the immune system of the nine-banded armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus, linn). | the armadillo is rapidly emerging as an animal for biomedical research. a morphological study of the immune system of the armadillo was undertaken to try to demonstrate a possible defect in the morphogenesis of the lymphoid organs that could account for their susceptibility to leprosy. blood from 20 domesticated adult armadillos revealed lymphocytes predominated among circulating leukocytes in the majority of animals, whereas in wild animals neutrophils predominated. necropsies revealed well-dev ... | 1975 | 1091181 |
| cytochrome pigments in mycobacterium leprae isolated from armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus l.). | the bacilli were isolated from granulomata harvested from armadillos. cytochrome systems in whole cell suspensions as well as in cell-free extracts were examined spectrophotometrically. the intact cells contained cytochromes of the a+b3, b and c type which were found to be present mainly in the reduced form. the cytochrome systems in cell-free extracts of m. leprae were in the oxidized form but contained the same type of cytochromes as the intact bacteria. the presence of cytochromes was easily ... | 1975 | 1099400 |
| some hematologic and temperature determinations in the 7-banded armadillo (dasypus hybridus). | hematologic values were determined for 10 male and 16 female 7-banded armadillos (dasypus hybridus), known as the "mulita" in argentina. values for females and males, respectively, were: pcv 40.47 +/- 1.26 and 39.67 +/- 1.40 ml/dl; sedimentation rate 15.3 +/- 3.26 and 10.6 +/- mm/hr; rbc 6.001 +/- 0.128 and 5.963 +/- 0.170 x 10(6)/mm3; wbc 8.425 +/- 1.417 and 10.084 +/- 1.001 x 10(3)/mm3; hemoglobin 16.14 +/- 0.66 and 16.84 +/- 0.52; mcv, mch, mchc, and differential leukocyte count were also det ... | 1976 | 940304 |
| ultrastructure of the salivary bladder of the nine-banded armadillo. | the nine-banded armadillo possesses a salivary bladder which is a dilated portion of the main duct of the submandibular gland at its origin. the wall of the bladder is composed of an epithelium, a submucosa and a thick coat of skeletal muscle. the ultrastructure of the epithelium reveals that it is complex and consists of three cell types: 1) principal cells, 2) light cells, and 3) basal cells. the general organization of the epithelium suggests that it is a transporting type of epithelium such ... | 1976 | 949730 |
| improved caging for nine-banded armadillos. | impact resistant polyethylene cages were evaluated in these laboratories as replacements for plywood boxes for housing nine-banded armadillos. they were found to be less expensive, easier to sanitize, and to require less than one-third as much floor space per animal as the boxes. this innovation has made it practical to house large numbers of armadillos economically and conveniently in almost any animal facility. | 1976 | 1271741 |

| spontaneous renal disease in louisiana armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus). | renal lesions were present in 34 (68%) of 50 armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus) collected for a survey of the prevalence of leptospires in louisiana wildlife. the renal lesions were not associated with elevations in the renal function tests of blood urea nitrogen or serum creatinine or with consistent serologic or cultural evidence of leptospires. | 1977 | 916135 |
| chromatin ultrastructure changes during spermatogenesis in armadillos. | the chromatin fibres of the male gamete nucleus of dasypus novemcinctus contain fibrils. measurements indicate that the chromatin fibre diameter and the number of fibrils within the fibre increase, whereas the diameter of the fibrils decreases during spermiogenesis. it is suggested that the fibrils represent a dna-protein complex. it is further suggested that the increased fibre diameter, and the increased number of fibrils correlates with the formation of larger fibres during the condensation o ... | 1977 | 616385 |
| the fine structure of the interstitial tissue of the testis of the nine-banded armadillo. | the interstitial tissue of the testis of the nine-banded armadillo is composed of blood vessels, clusters of leydig cells, the usual connective tissue elements, and a network of lymphatic sinusoids. the endothelial walls of the sinusoids are separated from the peritubular contractile cell layer surrounding the seminiferous tubules by a thin layer of collagen. the pertibular contractile cell is characterized by filaments and dense bodies within the cytoplasm, whereas the endothelial cells lack th ... | 1977 | 835839 |
| preparation and characterization of armadillo submandibular glycoproteins. | the nine-banded armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus mexicanus peters) was chosen for this study so that a comparison could be made of the salivary mucus glycoproteins of an ancient mammalian species with those derived from previously studied, more highly evolved species. two mucus glycoproteins, armadillo submandibular glycoprotein a and armadillo submandibular glycoprotein b, were prepared from the armadillo submandibular gland by a modification of the method of tettamanti & pigman (1968) (arch. bi ... | 1977 | 851423 |
| lack of observed association between armadillo contact and leprosy in humans. | in 1971 it was discovered that the nine-banded armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus) could be infected in the laboratory with mycobacterium leprae, and would manifest disease similar to the lepromatous form of leprosy in man. in 1975 several wild armadillos captured in louisiana were found to have a disease identical to the m. laprae infection in laboratory animals. to determine if there is a significant association between contact with armadillos and presence of leprosy in humans, the armadillo cont ... | 1977 | 557294 |
| response of the nine-banded armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus) to gonadotropins and steroids. | adult male and female, nine-banded armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus) were treated with exogenous gonadotropins and steroids to induce mating in captivity. gonadotropin treatment induced follicular development and ovulation in the female but failed to enhance semen quality in the male. the number of ovarian follicles increased as the dosage of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin increased; ovulation rate appeared to be inversely related to dose. mating behavior was not detected in any of the trials, ... | 1977 | 561866 |
| cytochrome-linked respiration in host grown m. leprae isolated from an armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus, l.). | the bacilli were isolated from an armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus, l.) and cytochrome systems as well as oxidation of succinate and nadh by m. leprae were studied. cell-free extracts of m. leprae contained cytochromes of the a + a3, b, c and o type. whole cell suspensions catalyzed the oxidation of succinate. the process was unaffected by rotenone but was markedly inhibited by thenoyltrifluoroacetone, antimycin a and cyanide. cell-free preparations of m. leprae also oxidized nadh with oxygen as ... | 1977 | 198384 |

| ultrastructure of the acinar cells in the submandibular gland of the nine-banded armadillo. | there are two discrete lobes comprising the armadillo submandibular gland. these two lobes can be defined grossly, histochemically and morphologically with the light and electron microscope. the minor lobe stains more intensely with pas and ab. when viewed in the electron microscope, the secretory granules of the acinar cells within this lobe appear mucous-like. the granules of the demilune cells are slightly different in appearance. the secretory granules of the acinar cells in the major lobe c ... | 1978 | 73594 |
| cholesterol, a factor which is required for growth of mycobacteria from leprous tissues. | in a yeast extract, glycerol and sheep serum containing medium, slow but abundant growth of mycobacteria occurred when media were inoculated with m. leprae isolated from leprous tissues of armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus linn.). the lipid fraction of the serum was the essential factor for growth. cholesterol not only replaced, but surpassed the growth promoting effect of the lipid fraction. however, growth of mycobacteria was observed only when media were enriched with serum. the relationship o ... | 1978 | 355155 |
| ocular histopathology in animals experimentally infected with mycobacterium leprae and m. lepraemurium. 1. mycobacterium leprae and m. lepraemurium infections in the mouse. 2. mycobacterium leprae infections in the 9-banded armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus l.). | at varying periods of time following the successful establishment of systemic infections with mycobacterium leprae or m. lepraemurium in the mouse and the nine-banded armadillo eyes were examined by light microscopy. inoculation of bacilli was by the intravenous or intraperitoneal route or directly into the hind footpads; eyes were not directly inoculated in this study. during periods of up to 3 years under laboratory conditions no animal showed evidence of impaired vision or blindness, and the ... | 1978 | 356872 |
| formation of antibody against mycobacterium leprae antigen 7 in armadillos. | a radioimmunoassay developed to measure antibody against mycobacterium leprae antigen 7 in man was applied to the nine-banded armadillo (dasypus novemcinctus). normal armadillo sera had low but significant antibody activity in the test. fourteen of 17 armadillos with systemic mycobacterial infection after inoculation with m. leprae showed increased antibody activity in the assay, and in some instances the activity was higher than in a pool of sera from patients with lepromatous leprosy. crossed ... | 1978 | 364069 |
| endoneurial mast cells in peripheral nerves of the armadillo dermis. | electron microscopy of the dermis of the 9-banded armadillo, dasypus novemcinctus, reveals an intimate relationship of mast cells to peripheral nerves. mast cells are routinely found in the dermis in close proximity to nerves, and mast cells are also present within the perineurial cell sheath in the endoneurial space proper. these cells contain electron opaque granules and exhibit numerous surface folds as is characteristic of other species. the degranulation of the mast cells by injection of 0. ... | 1978 | 688376 |

| light microscopic and ultrastructural features of the harderian gland of the nine-banded armadillo. | the harderian gland of the nine-banded armadillo is a mixed, compound tubuloacinar gland located in the medioposterior aspect of the orbit. the gland is lobulated and appears homogeneous in colour and texture. harderian glands of both male and female fluoresce a pale yellow-green, indicating the lack of porphyrins. at the light microscopic level, the gland contains lobules which synthesize different secretory products. the lobules of the gland adjacent to the eyeball (the proximal point) contain ... | 1981 | 7319899 |
| chagas's disease in the amazon basin: ii. the distribution of trypanosoma cruzi zymodemes 1 and 3 in pará state, north brazil. | in pará state, brazil, 123 trypanosoma cruzi stocks were isolated from 12 silvatic mammal species, five silvatic triatomine species and individuals with acute chagas's disease. 100 t. cruzi stocks were identified as zymodeme (z) 1, 17 as z3 and 6 as z3 with z1 asat character, but none were t. cruzi z2. z1 was predominantly isolated from arboreal mammals, especially didelphis marsupialis; z3 was mainly found in terrestrial or burrowing mammals, particularly dasypus novemcinctus and monodelphis br ... | 1981 | 7036428 |
| [pathomorphologic changes in the internal organs of intact and mycobacterium leprae-infected 9-banded armadillos]. | the internal organs of nine-banded armadillos were examined histologically before and after inoculation of the animals with m. leprae. 3--4 months after the inoculation two animals developed tuberculoid structures in the lungs, liver and skin. a conclusion is made that experimental leprosy infection in nine-banded armadillos may run its course not only in the lepromatous but also in the tuberculoid form of the disease. | 1981 | 7295954 |
| leishmaniasis in brazil: xvi. isolation and identification of leishmania species from sandflies, wild mammals and man in north para state, with particular reference to l. braziliensis guyanensis causative agent of "pian-bois". | a total of 125 wild mammals (14 different species) were examined for evidence of infection with leishmania in an area of primary forest highly endemic for "pian-bois", due to leishmania braziliensis guyanensis, in north pará state, brazil. parasites isolated were characterized biologically, and biochemically on enzymic profiles. l. b. guyanensis was isolated from the viscera of one lesser anteater (tamandua tetradactyla) and one opossum (didelphis marsupialis), and the skin of one rodent (proech ... | 1981 | 7324128 |
| intraspecies differences of resistance against leprosy in nine-banded armadillos. | infection of nine-banded armadillos with decreasing doses of armadillo-passaged leprosy bacilli show that most individuals of this species are susceptible and only about 20 percent are resistant regardless of the size of the infecting bacterial dose. it is pointed out that the intraspecies distribution of resistance to leprosy in human beings and in nine-banded armadillos differs because most individuals of the former species are resistant. attention is drawn to the possibility that the results ... | 1981 | 7334780 |
