on the leakage of acrosomal hyaluronidase from the spermatozoa of the buffalo (bubalus bubalis).	the sonication method produced a quantitatively higher release of buffalo sperm hyaluronidase than the freeze-thaw technique. the released enzyme constituted 10 p. 100 of the total enzymatic activity of the fresh semen. seminal plasma hyaluronidase activity was not correlated with the motility score of the semen sample. unlike cattle semen, the seminal plasma enzyme level in buffalo semen stored at 37 degrees c showed a sharp rise, whereas samples stored at 0 degrees c evidenced negligible enzym ...	1980	7349430
[onchocerca sweetae occurring in the buffalo in thailand (author's transl)].	the intradermal onchocerca from bubalus bubalis of thailand is the same as that which was described as o. sweetae from intradermal nodules in b. bubalis from australia. this identification suggests there has been no speciation between the parasites of australian and asiatic buffaloes. the taxon o. indica sweet 1915 consists of two distinct species; one in perimuscular nodules of bos indicus is most probably o. gibsoni (and thus, the species o. indica, based essentially on the description of this ...	1980	7458162
