chromosome identification of the rusty-spotted cat (felis rubiginosa): one more down and four to go.	the chromosomes of the rusty-spotted cat, felis rubiginosa, of sri lanka (ceylon) were analyzed. although the 38-chromosome complement of f rubiginosa closely resembles that of several other species, it seems to be unique with only minor variations in the d and f chromosomes. this reduces, from 5 to 4, the number of the 37 recognized world feline species not yet cytogenetically studied. despite great differences in size and distribution, the feline species of the world are one of the most homoge ...	1983	6869992
streptobacillus felis, a member of the oropharynx microbiota of the felidae, isolated from a tropical rusty-spotted cat.	streptobacillus felis is a fastidious microorganism and a novel member of the potentially zoonotic bacteria causing rat bite fever. since its description, this is the second isolation of s. felis in a diseased member of the felidae. interestingly, the strain from this study was isolated from a zoo held, rusty-spotted cat (prionailurus rubiginosus), with pneumonia, thereby indicating a possible broader host range in feline species. a recent preliminary sampling of domestic cats (felis silvestris ...	2020	32776203
population density and habitat use of two sympatric small cats in a central indian reserve.	despite appreciable advances in carnivore ecology, studies on small cats remain limited with carnivore research in india being skewed towards large cats. small cats are more specialized than their larger cousins in terms of resource selection. studies on small cat population and habitat preference are critical to evaluate their status to ensure better management and conservation. we estimated abundance of two widespread small cats, the jungle cat, and the rusty-spotted cat, and investigated thei ...	2020	32497053
