| pentastomiasis (armillifer and linguatula sp.) infestations of wild animals in the kruger national park. | armillifer armillatus, linguatula serrata and l. nuttalli have each been isolated from nine different mammalian species in the kruger national park: lion, panthera leo; leopard, p. pardus; buffalo, syncerus caffer: blue wildebeest, connechaetes taurinus; giraffe, girraffa camelopardalis; kudu, tragelophus strepsiceros; waterbuck, kobus ellipsyprymnus; tsessebe, damaliscus iunatus and impala, aepyceros melampus. successful transmission of l. serrata from the lion to a domestic ox and impala is re ... | 1975 | 1223283 |
| phagocytosis of trypanosoma (nannomonas) congolense by circulating macrophages in the african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | nineteen african buffalo were short in the mara region of kenya. leucocytes were separated from the buffalo samples by sedimentation and centrifugation. in leucocyte smears of six buffalo, trypanosomes were detected and in two of them, high levels of phagocytosis of trypanosoma (nannomonas) congolense by circulating macrophages were demonstrated. | 1975 | 1153894 |
| ticks from the african buffalo (syncerus caffer) in ngamiland, botswana. | in november 1972, 93 out of 100 african buffalo from 3 areas in ngamiland, botswana, were found to be infested with ticks. the tick species present and the percentage of buffalo infested by each were: hyalomma truncatum (63%), h. rufipes (54%), rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi (68%), r. tricuspis (11%), r. simus (4%) and boophilus decoloratus (1%). the mean number of ticks per animal was 8,6 (standard deviation +/-4,1), representing a mean of 6,5+/-3,4 male and 2,1+/-1,9 female ticks. the incidence ... | 1976 | 940665 |
| preliminary observations on the distribution, definitive hosts and possible relation with other schistosomes, of schistosoma margrebowiei, le roux, 1933 and schistosoma leiperi, le roux, 1955. | in attempting to define the south western limits of the distribution of schistosoma margrebowiei and s. leiperi and investigating their apparent limited distribution in relation to their snail hosts it was found that there was little overlap in the distribution of s. margrebowiei and s. leiperi and that of the human parasites s. haematobium and s. mansoni, and no overlap with s. mattheei within the area surveyed. it is suggested that the presence of either or both lechwe schistosomes prevented t ... | 1976 | 965705 |
| attempted artificaial infection or impala, blue wildebeest, buffalo, kudu, giraffe and warthog with heartwater. | intravenous injection of cowdria ruminantium infected blood produced no sings of disease in four impala, aepyceros melampus; three blue wildebeest, connochaetes taurinus; a buffalo, syncerus caffer; a kudu, tragelaphus strepsiceros; a giraffe. giraffa camelopardalis and a warthog, phacochoerus aethiopicus. a control sheep injected with the same blood reacted severely and showed typical lesions of heartwater at autopsy. | 1976 | 994140 |
| further observations on the relationship and distribution of schistosoma margrebowiei and s. leiperi in central southern africa. | a further survey in east caprivi, chobe national park, okavango swamps and kavango was undertaken in june 1976. no evidence of lechwe schistosomes was found in droppings of african buffalo (syncerus caffer) nor baboons (papio ursinus) living in lechwe habitats. it was thought that they were not capable of spreading or maintaining these parasites outside the confines of the known distribution of kobus sp. the role of goats was equivocal but probably they too are poor hosts. kavango, an endemic ar ... | 1977 | 599275 |
| transmission of a theileria species to cattle by the ixodid tick, amblyomma cohaerens donitz 1909. | amblyomma cohaerens nymphs, which had been collected as engorged larvae from african buffalo (syncerus caffer) in the mara region of kenya, transmitted a theilerial parasite to a steer. macroschizonts were detected in the regional lymph node of this steer 12 days after tick application and were subsequently detected for 3 days at low levels of parasitosis. the macroschizonts were large and had numerous nuclei, being morphologically unlike any other theilerial schizonts described previously from ... | 1977 | 906088 |
| establishment of an experimental field population of theileria lawrencei-infected ticks maintained by african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | a population of rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks infected with buffalo-derived theileria lawrencei was established in a paddock. two infected buffalo had been introduced into this paddock which contained a small population of theileria-free r. appendiculatus. at intervals, successive groups of theileria-susceptible cattle were grazed with the buffalo. transmission of t. lawrencei from buffalo to cattle was first noted 7 to 8 months after the introduction of the buffalo, this delay being accoun ... | 1977 | 915621 |
| effect of lipid solvents on cutaneous moisture loss. | application of various lipid solvents and dimethyl sulphoxide to the skin of cattle, sheep, eland and african buffalo exposed to an air temperature of 20 degrees c caused an increase in cutaneous moisture loss. the effect did not occur after exposure to an air temperature of 40 degrees c or after adrenaline administration. blockage of sweating by either bethanidine or phenoxybenzamine did not affect the response. camel, donkey, dog and man showed no increase in cutaneous moisture loss after lipi ... | 1977 | 921632 |
| composition of adrenal lipids from some domestic and wild ruminants. | 1. lipids from the whole adrenal glands of the ox and the african buffalo (syncerus caffer) were extracted and fractionated into neutral and phospholipids. both species revealed the presence of considerable quantities of cholesterol but only very small quantities of cholesteryl esters. 2. fatty acids from various fractions of bovine and buffalo adrenal glands were investigated by gas-chromatography. they showed a remarkably low content of higher unsaturated fatty acids and a very high content of ... | 1977 | 318243 |
| the isolation of brucella abortus biotype i from african buffalo in the kruger national park. | the isolation of brucella abortus from free living wild africal buffalo (syncerus caffer) in the kruger national park, south africa, is described. the four isolates testes proved to be biotype i and it is speculated that the origin of brucellosis in wild animals is from domestic stock. | 1977 | 406393 |
| studies on theileriidae (sporozoa) in tanzania. viii. experiments with african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | it has been found that african buffalo may remain infective carriers of theileria parva lawrencei for at least 5 years. this infection is now known to exist in buffalo in 3 sites in northern tanzania. it was shown that buffalo can be infected with haematoxenus veliferus and theileria mutans of cattle and retransmission of these parasites from buffalo to cattle was successful. the species of haematoxemus reported in wild buffalo in central and east africa is likely to be h. veliferus, while the p ... | 1977 | 410128 |
| the incidence of theilerial parasites in east african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | 245 buffalo from 13 areas of east africa were examined for theilerial infections. the vast majority of buffalo (97.1%) examined had piroplasms in their erythrocytes. theileria lawrencei was isolated from the buffalo by tick feeding and cell culture and was found to be common in most of these buffalo populations. also over 50% of the buffalo had indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) titres to t. lawrencei. t. mutans was only isolated from 3 buffalo populations but is probably common. haematoxenus s ... | 1978 | 103262 |

| buffalo in the northern natal game parks show no serological evidence of infection with foot-and-mouth disease virus. | a total of 594 sera collected from buffalo (syncerus caffer) in the hluhluwe/umfolozi game reserve complex, ndumu game reserve and the eastern shores of lake st lucia were examined for antibody to sat 1, 2 and 3 types of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus in neutralization tests. no neutralization of sat 2 or 3 viruses was exhibited by any of the sera tested at final dilutions greater than 10. a small proportion (2,9%) of sera neutralized sat 1 virus at dilutions up to 10, but these were conside ... | 1985 | 2995896 |
| transmission of foot-and-mouth disease from african buffalo virus carriers to bovines. | 1985 | 3004007 | |
| the duration of the foot-and-mouth disease virus carrier state in african buffalo (i) in the individual animal and (ii) in a free-living herd. | the maintenance of a virus depends on a number of factors, including the duration of infectivity and the size of the available host population. in this work, foot-and-mouth disease virus was shown to persist in individual african buffalo (syncerus caffer) for up to at least five years; thus, the duration of infectivity is more than adequate to cover the normal periods between calving peaks. in a small isolated free-living population which varied from 30 to 100 buffalo, two immunological types of ... | 1985 | 3004803 |
| potential for the transmission of foot-and-mouth disease virus from african buffalo (syncerus caffer) to cattle. | foot-and-mouth disease viruses of types sat 1 and sat 2 isolated from diseased cattle and carrier buffalo, either on the same farm or in the same ecological area within a short time of each other, were compared by t1 oligonucleotide mapping. no similarity was observed between the maps obtained, indicating that the different populations of virus were unique to each species and that no interspecies transmission had occurred. | 1986 | 3010415 |
| foot-and-mouth disease and the african buffalo (syncerus caffer). 1. carriers as a source of infection for cattle. | ten pregnant buffalo cows, six of which were subsequently shown to be carriers of sat 1, 2 and 3 viruses, were captured in the kruger national park (knp) and allowed to calve in captivity. the buffalo cows and calves were separated by a fence from 6 fmd susceptible cattle but the buffalo and cattle were obliged to use common drinking troughs and hay racks. over a period of 15 months, during which the buffalo calves lost their maternally-derived immunity, neither the buffalo calves nor the suscep ... | 1986 | 3014418 |
| foot-and-mouth disease and the african buffalo (syncerus caffer). ii. virus excretion and transmission during acute infection. | three groups of young buffalo in captivity were infected by exposing them to similar buffalo in the acute stages of infection induced by needle inoculation with sat 1 or 2 viruses. clear foot lesions developed in most of the buffalo from which the relevant virus types were re-isolated. during the first week following infection virus was found in blood, nasal secretions, saliva, preputial secretions and faeces. air samples collected in the immediate vicinity of acutely infected buffalo were also ... | 1986 | 3014419 |
| antibodies to brucella spp. among blue wildebeest and african buffalo in kenya. | a serologic survey of blue wildebeest (connochaetes taurinus burchell) and african buffalo (syncerus caffer sparrman) in the masai mara area was conducted. antibodies to brucella spp. were found in 18% of the blue wildebeest and 30% of the african buffalo examined. there were titers in all age groups and in both sexes. hygromata were seen in both species. the increase in numbers of blue wildebeest and african buffalo which share grazing and watering areas with cattle of the masai people, makes t ... | 1986 | 3712644 |
| comparative analysis of infection and transformation of lymphocytes from african buffalo and boran cattle with theileria parva subsp. parva and t. parva subsp. lawrencei. | this study compared infection and transformation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbm) of boran cattle and african buffalo in vitro to determine whether differences occurred which could account for the greater susceptibility of boran cattle to infection with theileria parva subsp. parva and t. parva subsp. lawrencei. pbm from buffalo and cattle had a similar percentage of cells which bound t. parva subsp. parva sporozoites (24 to 34%) and in which schizonts developed during the first week ... | 1986 | 3087880 |
| antibody to crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus in wild mammals from southern africa. | crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) virus is becoming increasingly recognized as an important human pathogen in southern africa. in order to determine the role of wild mammals in the natural ecology of the virus, sera from 3,772 wild mammals of 87 species and from 1,978 domestic dogs collected in south africa and zimbabwe between 1964 and 1985 were tested for antibody to cchf virus by reversed passive hemagglutination inhibition (rphi) and by indirect immunofluorescence (if). antibody was fou ... | 1987 | 3101526 |
| isolation of theileria parasites from african buffalo (syncerus caffer) and characterization with anti-schizont monoclonal antibodies. | antigenic differences between intra-lymphocytic theilerial parasites isolated from the blood of 18 african buffalo and grown in vitro were assessed with anti-schizont monoclonal antibodies (mabs). there was marked antigenic diversity both between isolates from different buffalo and between isolates taken at different times from the same buffalo. many of the isolates from both wild and captive buffalo appeared to consist of mixed parasite populations. some isolates were found by limiting dilution ... | 1987 | 3112700 |
| experimental induction of theileria parva lawrencei carrier state in an african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | an african buffalo (syncerus caffer), born in captivity and demonstrated to be theileria-free, and 2 susceptible cattle were inoculated with a theileria parva lawrencei sporozoite stabilate. the buffalo had a very mild disease reaction, while the 2 cattle died of acute theileriosis. it was possible to isolate t. p. lawrencei from the buffalo up to 888 days after infection by the application of non-infected rhipicephalus appendiculatus nymphs and up to 657 days after infection by the establishmen ... | 1987 | 3112701 |
| infection of african buffalo (syncerus caffer) and cattle with theileria parva lawrencei after serial passage in cattle. | the infectivity of a theileria parva lawrencei stabilate, from a stock derived from an african buffalo (syncerus caffer) in the serengeti national park, tanzania, was investigated. in the first experiment a buffalo and three cattle were inoculated with a stabilate from a stock passaged three times in cattle. all cattle developed fatal theilerial infections. isolations from the buffalo by tick feeding and cell culture isolation showed that it was infected with t p lawrencei at the time of inocula ... | 1987 | 3112876 |
| isolation of theileria parva lawrencei-infected lymphoid cell lines from free-ranging african buffaloes (syncerus caffer). | lymphoid cells collected from the peripheral blood of 45 free-ranging buffaloes sampled in the masai mara game reserve in kenya were cultured in vitro in an attempt to establish cell lines of intralymphocytic theilerial schizonts. theileria parva lawrencei-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines were established with samples taken from 12 buffaloes, and 11 of these were maintained continuously in vitro. sixteen of the buffalo samples were contaminated with either trypanosomes or viruses. the successf ... | 1987 | 3114847 |
| continuing presence of rinderpest virus as a threat in east africa, 1983-1985. | the re-emergence of rinderpest virus in east africa in 1979 caused widespread outbreaks of disease and subclinical infection throughout the region until mid-1983. subsequent massive emergency vaccination campaigns have been successful in eliminating clinical rinderpest from tanzania and preventing its spread southwards. unfortunately the virus is still endemic in north-eastern uganda and has recently caused epidemic outbreaks with high mortality in cattle in that country. in kenya, buffaloes (sy ... | 1987 | 3824842 |
| immunization of cattle using varying infective doses of theileria parva lawrencei sporozoites derived from an african buffalo (syncerus caffer) and treatment with buparvaquone. | a theileria parva lawrencei isolate in the form of a sporozoite stabilate, derived by feeding clean rhipicephalus appendiculatus nymphal ticks on an african buffalo (syncerus caffer) captured in the laikipia district, kenya, was inoculated into groups of cattle at dilutions between 10(0) and 10(-3). groups of 3 cattle infected with 1 ml inocula at 10(0), 10(-1) and 10(-2) dilutions were treated with 2.5 mg/kg body weight of buparvaquone on day 0 and similar groups were left untreated to act as c ... | 1988 | 3131722 |
| evaluation of cytotoxic lymphocytes and their parasite strain specificity from african buffalo infected with theileria parva. | theileria parva-reactive cytotoxic lymphocytes and their precursors were examined in the blood of african buffalo infected with t. parva and uninfected african buffalo. peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbm) from eight of 11 infected buffalo were found to have potent cytotoxic activity after stimulation with autologous parasitized cells for 6 days in vitro, while pbm from uninfected buffalo or pbm from infected buffalo not stimulated in vitro had no cytotoxic activity. the cytotoxic activity w ... | 1988 | 3140192 |
| a set of test life tables for theoretical gerontology. | prediction of life tables, which provide the most empirical information available about the statistical properties of aging, provides a rigorous test for any theory of aging as manifested at the organismic level of biological organization. for this purpose, a set of test tables for the wild boar (sus scrofa), domestic sheep (ovis aries), dall sheep (ovis dalli dalli), african buffalo (syncerus cafer), and hippopotamus (hippopotamus amphibius) is reconstructed from primary data taken from the lit ... | 1988 | 3346518 |
