durikainema macropi gen. et sp. nov. (muspiceoidea: robertdollfusidae). a remarkable nematode from macropodidae (marsupialia).	durikainema macropi gen. et sp. nov. (muspiceoidea: robertdollfusidae) is described from the mesenteric and hepatic portal veins of macropus giganteus shaw 1790, m. agilis (gould 1842) and m. rufogriseus (desmarest 1817) (marsupialia: macropodidae) from queensland, australia. it is also known from histological sections of hepatic portal veins of m. robustus gould 1841, m. fuliginosus (desmarest 1817) and lagorchestes conspicillatus gould 1842. the new genus resembles the enoplina in cephalic and ...	1982	7081889
sibling species within macropostrongyloides baylisi (nematoda: strongyloidea) from macropodid marsupials.	macropostrongyloides baylisi from four different species or subspecies of host were analysed electrophoretically at 27 enzyme loci. the results revealed the existence of two species, one in macropus giganteus and the other in m. robustus robustus, m.r. erubescens and m.r. parryi, that had fixed genetic differences at 33% of loci. populations of nematodes from two subspecies of m. robustus, m.r. robustus from queensland and m.r. erubescens from south australia, had fixed genetic differences at tw ...	1993	8468133
evidence for hybridisation between paramacropostrongylus iugalis and p. typicus (nematoda:strongyloidea) in grey kangaroos, macropus fuliginosus and m. giganteus, in a zone of sympatry in eastern australia.	specimens of paramacropostrongylus iugalis and p. typicus, collected from eastern (macropus giganteus) and western (m. fuliginosus) grey kangaroos in new south wales and queensland, were examined morphologically and electrophoretically at 4 enzyme loci previously demonstrated to be diagnostic between the 2 species. collections of p. iugalis from m. giganteus from outside the zone of sympatry of the 2 kangaroo species conformed electrophoretically and morphologically with previous studies. within ...	1997	9193941
echinococcus granulosus in northern queensland. 2. ecological determinants of infection in beef cattle.	to provide information on possible ecological determinants of infection with echinococcus granulosus in a beef pastoral area of northern queensland.	2006	16958625
serologic-based investigation of leptospirosis in a population of free-ranging eastern grey kangaroos (macropus giganteus) indicating the presence of leptospira weilii serovar topaz.	eastern grey kangaroos (macropus giganteus) are one of the most abundant large macropodids sharing the landscape with humans. despite this, little is known about the prevalence of leptospira carriage within this species and the role that they may partake in the transmission of this disease in australia. the sera of 87 free-ranging eastern grey kangaroos, captured in the warragamba catchment area, sydney, australia, from june 2004 to november 2006, were screened against a reference panel of 22 le ...	2010	20688651
shedding light on the microbial community of the macropod foregut using 454-amplicon pyrosequencing.	twenty macropods from five locations in queensland, australia, grazing on a variety of native pastures were surveyed and the bacterial community of the foregut was examined using 454-amplicon pyrosequencing. specifically, the v3/v4 region of 16s rrna gene was examined. a total of 5040 otus were identified in the data set (post filtering). thirty-two otus were identified as 'shared' otus (i.e. present in all samples) belonging to either firmicutes or bacteroidetes (clostridiales/bacteroidales). t ...	2013	23626688
phylogeography of eastern grey kangaroos, macropus giganteus, suggests a mesic refugium in eastern australia.	phylogeographic studies around the world have identified refugia where fauna were able to persist during unsuitable climatic periods, particularly during times of glaciation. in australia the effects of pleistocene climate oscillations on rainforest taxa have been well studied but less is known about the effects on mesic-habitat fauna, such as the eastern grey kangaroo (macropus giganteus). the eastern grey kangaroo is a large mammal that is common and widespread throughout eastern australia, pr ...	2015	26024370
