[population dynamics of rhipicephalus pusillus gil collado, 1938 (acarina, ixodidae) in 1986-1987 in south-eastern spain: modelling of the biological cycle].	the evolution of the rhipicephalus pusillus population, a parasite of the european wild rabbit, oryctolagus cuniculus, is studied in a locality of the province of granada (spain), in 1986-1987. the moving average technique was applied to the sampling data (358 hosts), for each stage of the postembryonic cycle. this technique permitted us, together with the habitual usage of the statistics, to understand in a more complete manner, the evolution of daily changes which affect the average number of ...	1989	2596808
estimation of gene diversity at the b locus of the constant region of the immunoglobulin light chain in natural populations of european rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus) in portugal, andalusia and on the azorean islands.	the minimal gene diversity at a locus of the antibody constant region, as estimated in natural populations of rabbit, revealed levels of heterozygosity similar to those reported for the major histocompatibility complex in human and murine populations. sera of 416 wild rabbits were collected on the iberian peninsula and on three islands of the azorean archipelago and analyzed for the occurrence of the serological markers of the b locus of the immunoglobulin light chain. all four serotypes present ...	1991	1903121
factors affecting the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) from spain.	sera from 456 wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) collected between 1992 and 2003 from five geographical regions of spain were examined for antibodies to toxoplasma gondii by the modified agglutination test. antibodies to t. gondii were found in 65 (14.2%) wild rabbits. prevalence of infection was significantly higher in samples collected from wild rabbits from catalonia, northeast spain (53.8%), where rabbits lived in forest, compared to other areas (huelva and cádiz, andalucía, south spain; t ...	2004	15325052
molecular detection of bartonella alsatica in european wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) in andalusia (spain).	a sample of 279 european wild rabbits, oryctolagus cuniculus (141 males, 138 females), captured alive in andalusia (spain) and belonging to the two haplotype classes previously described for this species (230 and 49 corresponding with haplotypes a and b, respectively), were tested for the presence of bartonella alsatica dna. two species-specific nested polymerase chain reaction assays targeting for 16s-23s rrna intergenic spacer region and rna polymerase β subunit genes have been developed. fort ...	2010	20059317
factors affecting rabbit meat consumption among spanish university students.	this study investigates the rabbit meat consumption patterns among students. results of the 342 students surveyed at the university of seville, spain showed that more men than women consumed rabbit meat. more students consumed wild rabbit meat than farmed rabbit meat. the practice of hunting by students or their relatives, and the raising of rabbits for self-consumption, positively influenced the proportion of students that currently consumed rabbit meat. most of the students that had eaten rabb ...	2010	21888473
