cooperia acutispiculum n. sp (nematoda: trichostrongylidae) from the kudu, tragelaphus strepsiceros (pallas, 1766).		1982	7177587
non-bite transmission of rabies in kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros).	the titres of rabies virus in the saliva of kudu are higher than those of the salivary glands. the high titres are an indication of active excretion and multiplication in tissues other than the salivary glands. two out of 4 kudu died of rabies after experimental infection by the instillation of infected saliva onto their buccal and nasal mucosae. mice and 2 cattle resisted a similar exposure. kudu also developed antibodies against rabies after instillation of hep flury virus onto their nasal and ...	1982	7185035
experimental malignant catarrhal fever (african form) in white-tailed deer.	white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) were experimentally infected with the african form of malignant catarrhal fever (amcf) virus by inoculation of whole blood from experimentally infected cattle, from whole blood obtained from a greater kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros) and from virus isolated in cell culture. the incubation period from amcf in experimentally infected deer ranged from 13 to 18 days. clinical disease was characterized by lacrimation, an elevated body temperature, conjunctivi ...	1981	7310953
rabies in kudus (tragelaphus strepsiceros) in south west africa/namibia.	a serious outbreak of rabies amongst kudus in south west africa/namibia has accounted for the deaths of an estimated 10 000 of them since 1977. the disease has spread at a rate of 40-60 km per year although its progress in an easterly direction was checked for more than 2 years by a game fence. although the fence restricted the movements of big game such as kudus, it did not prevent movement of the known vectors of rabies such as dogs and jackals. the outbreak coincided with a few years above av ...	1981	7341782
bluetongue antibody in botswana's domestic and game animals.	bluetongue precipitating antibody was demonstrated in sera of cattle, camels, sheep, goats and seven game species. of the domestic species the percentage of sera positive were; cattle 92%, camels 81%, goats 83% and sheep 36%. sheep sera, unlike those of other domestic species, varied greatly from area to area in the percentage positive. seroconversions were recorded in adult sheep between september and april. in adult cattle there was a gradual decline in the percentage positive with increasing ...	1979	220761
ossifying fibroma in a greater kudu.		1977	411210
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
tuberculosis in greater kudu.	four greater kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros) died while maintained in captivity at a zoo. necropsy revealed tuberculous lesions in the lungs, spleen, and thoracic lymph nodes. histopathologic findings included granulomas with langhans' giant cells, necrosis, and mineralization. acid-fast organisms isolated from tissues of each kudu were identified as mycobacterium bovis.	1976	789313

the pathology of cordophilus sagittus (v. linstow, 1907) infestation in the kudu [tragelaphus strepsiceros (pallas, 1766)], bushbuck [tragelaphus scriptus (pallas, 1766)] and african buffalo [syncerus caffer (sparrman, 1779)] in south africa.		1967	6069322
molecular cytogenetics of tragelaphine and alcelaphine interspecies hybrids: hybridization, introgression and speciation in some african antelope.	hybridization can occur naturally among diverging lineages as part of the evolutionary process leading to complete reproductive isolation, or it can result from range shifts and habitat alteration through global warming and/or other anthropogenic influences. here we report a molecular cytogenetic investigation of hybridization between taxonomically distinct species of the alcelaphini (alcelaphus buselaphus 2n = 40 × damaliscus lunatus 2n = 36) and the tragelaphini (tragelaphus strepsiceros 2n = ...	0	26582842
