gas exchange: large surface and thin barrier determine pulmonary diffusing capacity.	the lung is characterized by its diffusing capacity for oxygen, dlo2, which is estimated from morphometric information as a theoretical capacity. it is determined by the large gas exchange surface, the thin tissue barrier, and the amount of capillary blood. the question is asked whether dlo2 could be a limiting factor for o2 uptake in heavy exercise, particularly in athletes with their 50% higher o2 demand. this is answered by studying the relation between dlo2 and maximal o2 consumption in diff ...	1999	10394805
health evaluation of a pronghorn antelope population in oregon.	during 1996 and 1997, the u.s. fish and wildlife service conducted a study to determine the cause(s) of population decline and low survival of pronghorn antelope (antilocapra americana) fawns on hart mountain national antelope refuge (hmnar) located in southeastern oregon (usa). as part of that study, blood, fecal, and tissue samples from 104 neonatal fawns, 40 adult does, and nine adult male pronghorns were collected to conduct a health evaluation of the population. physiological parameters rel ...	1999	10479084
understanding the limitation of o2 supply through comparative physiology.	comparative physiology and morphometry are used to explore the role of the lung in the limitation of oxygen supply to working muscle as it is experienced at aerobic capacity and in hypoxia such as at high altitude or in subterraneous burrows. in the human lung, as in that of most mammals, the pulmonary diffusing capacity is about 1.5 times larger than what is needed at aerobic capacity. in athletic species (horse, dog) there is no such excess diffusing capacity. as an exception the pronghorn ant ...	1999	10647854
septicemic pasteurellosis in free-ranging neonatal pronghorn in oregon.	as part of a study to determine the cause(s) of population decline and low survival of pronghorn (antilocapra americana) neonates on hart mountain national antelope refuge (hmnar), oregon (usa), 55 of 104 neonates captured during may 1996 and 1997 were necropsied (n = 28, 1996; n = 27, 1997) to determine cause of death. necropsies were conducted on fawns that died during may, june, or july of each year. the objectives of this study were to report the occurrence and pathology of pasteurellosis in ...	2000	10813624
evaluation of anthelmintic activity in captive wild ruminants by fecal egg reduction tests and a larval development assay.	the effectiveness of anthelmintics was evaluated in four herds of captive ruminants, wapiti (cervus elaphus), armenian red sheep (ovis orientalis), giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis), and pronghorn (antilocapra americana), by the use of fecal egg reduction tests (ferts) and a commercial larval development assay (lda) designed to evaluate susceptibility or resistance of nematodes to anthelmintics. haemonchus sp. was the predominant nematode in the red sheep, giraffe, and pronghorn herds, whereas os ...	2000	11237142

presumptive copper deficiency in hand-reared captive pronghorn (antilocapra americana) fawns.	presumptive copper deficiency was diagnosed in hand-reared captive pronghorn (antilocapra americana) at the los angeles zoo. clinical signs, which were manifested in growing fawns, included anemia, anorexia, diarrhea, progressive paresis/recumbency, and aortic rupture. the range of serum copper concentrations in fawns born during the 1989 season (0.08-0.67 ppm) was below levels considered normal for domestic sheep and goats (0.7-2.0 ppm) and below concentrations measured in adult pronghorn (0.4- ...	2001	12785688
a molecular analysis of dietary diversity for three archaic native americans.	dna was extracted from three fecal samples, more than 2,000 years old, from hinds cave, texas. amplification of human mtdna sequences showed their affiliation with contemporary native americans, while sequences from pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, and cottontail rabbit allowed these animals to be identified as part of the diet of these individuals. furthermore, amplification of chloroplast dna sequences identified eight different plants as dietary elements. these archaic humans consumed 2-4 d ...	2001	11296282
fusobacteriosis in captive wild-caught pronghorns (antilocapra americana).	an outbreak of fusobacterium necrophorum-induced septicemia occurred in a group of 40 captive wild-caught pronghorns (antilocapra americana). primary pododermatitis or necrotic stomatitis progressed to produce fatal septicemia with metastatic lesions in the forestomachs, lung, liver, and cecum in 38 of the animals. two remaining animals were euthanatized because of chronic pododermatitis. housing the animals in a pasture previously used by bovids and heavy rains with persistence of ground water ...	2001	11572563
synlophe in ostertagia cf. kasakhstanica (nematoda: ostertagiinae), the minor morphotype of o. bisonis from western north america.	ostertagia cf. kasakhstanica, the putative minor morphotype of the polymorphic ostertagiine o. bisonis, is reported in bison bison from south dakota. descriptions of the synlophe and details of other diagnostic characters useful in identification and differentiation of this minor morphotype from other ostertagiines in wild and domestic ruminants from western north america are presented. laterally, the cervical synlophe is consistent with type ib pattern among ostertagiines and is within the rang ...	2001	11695392
safety of brucella abortus strain rb51 vaccine in non-target ungulates and coyotes.	brucellosis is endemic in free-ranging elk (cervus elaphus) and bison (bison bison) in the greater yellowstone area (gya; usa). it is possible that an oral brucellosis vaccine could be developed and disseminated in the gya to reduce disease transmission. should this occur, non-target species other than elk and bison may come in contact with the vaccine resulting in morbidity or mortality. to assess biosafety, bighorn sheep (ovis canadensis; n = 10), pronghorn (antilocapra americana; n = 9), mule ...	2002	12238372
evaluation of brucella abortus strain rb51 and strain 19 in pronghorn antelope.	free-roaming elk and bison in the greater yellowstone area remain the only wildlife reservoirs for brucella abortus in the united states, and the large number of animals and a lack of holding facilities make it unreasonable to individually vaccinate each animal. therefore, oral delivery is being proposed as a possible option to vaccinate these wild ungulates. one of the main problems associated with oral vaccination is the potential exposure of nontarget species to the vaccines. the purpose of t ...	2002	12381572
parelaphostrongylus tenuis in captive pronghorn antelope (antilocapra americana) in nebraska.	lesions in four captive pronghorn antelope (antilocapra americana) naturally infected with parelaphostrongylus tenuis in eastern nebraska (usa) are described in this report. animals were bright and alert with hind limb ataxia that progressed to sternal or lateral recumbency between july 28 and october 17, 1998. animals were euthanized due to disease progression despite therapy. multifocal decubital ulcers over bony prominences occurred in two animals and chronic unilateral otitis media was prese ...	2002	12528452
