| comparison of growth characteristics of anaerobic fungi isolated from ruminant and non-ruminant herbivores during cultivation in a defined medium. | anaerobic fungi were isolated from rumen fluid of a domestic sheep (ovis aries; a ruminant) and from faeces of five non-ruminants: african elephant (loxodonta africana), black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis), indian rhinoceros (rhinoceros unicornis), indian elephant (elephas maximus) and mara (dolichotis patagonum). the anaerobic fungus isolated from the sheep was a neocallimastix species and the isolates from non-ruminants were all species similar to piromyces spp. a defined medium is described w ... | 1991 | 1919514 |
| partial purification and characterization of rhinoceros gonadotropins, growth hormone, and prolactin: comparison with the horse and sheep. | the rhinoceros is an endangered species related to the horse family. little is known of its reproductive endocrinology. the objectives of this study were to partially purify rhinoceros pituitary hormones, determine which assays could be used for their assessment, and to ascertain whether rhinoceros lh possesses the intrinsic fsh activity of equine lh. a single pituitary each from a white (1.3 g) and a black (1.2 g) rhinoceros was homogenized and extracted (ph 9.5), then subjected to ph and salt ... | 1991 | 2015356 |
| beta-globin chain hemoglobin polymorphism and hemoglobin stability in black rhinoceroses (diceros bicornis). | to evaluate the syndrome of acute intravascular hemolytic anemia in black rhinoceroses (diceros bicornis), the hemoglobin of this species was evaluated by use of isopropanol- and heat-stability tests and was further characterized by electrophoretic studies. samples were obtained from 22 apparently healthy captive north american black rhinoceroses, though 3 of the study animals had survived previous hemolytic events, and 3 others were parents of 3 offspring that had suffered hemolysis. the easter ... | 1990 | 2337282 |
| some properties of pineal gland hydroxyindole-o-methyltransferase from black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis). | pineal glands were obtained from two young female black rhinoceri that had died as a result of postcapture trauma during a translocation exercise. hydroxyindole-o-methyltransferase (hiomt) from these pineal glands showed a peak activity at ph 8.2, although high activity extended over a fairly wide ph range (7.8-8.4). n-acetylserotonin was the best hydroxyindolic substrate for the enzyme, although other hydroxyindoles were methylated, the relative affinities being similar to values previously rep ... | 1990 | 2338611 |

| circulating plasma alpha-tocopherol following a single injection in a black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis). | injectable all rac-alpha-tocopherol, at a dose of 12.4 iu/kg body mass, increased circulating levels of alpha-tocopherol in the black rhinoceros (bicornis diceros) from 0.18 microgram/ml to 1.47 micrograms/ml within 2 hr. although the plasma level peaked at day one (13.07 micrograms/ml) and dropped rapidly, substantial residual effects were seen even 10 days (1.50 micrograms/ml) following a single injection. it appears that parenteral vitamin e administration may be suitable for therapeutic trea ... | 1989 | 2810570 |
| the use of flumethrin pour-on for de-ticking black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis) prior to translocation in zimbabwe. | the use of flumethrin pour-on in 1.0% and 0.5% concentrations for the purpose of de-ticking black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis) prior to translocation is reported. both formulations achieved a high level of efficacy within 8 to 12 h following treatment. the 0.5% formulation was found to be more suitable than the 1.0% for use on the dry, hairless skin of the rhinoceros because the increased dose volume resulted in more rapid spreading. | 1989 | 2487728 |
| a new family, genus, and seven new species of entodiniomorphida (protozoa) from the gut of african rhinoceros. | this report deals with a group of ciliated protozoa with short ciliary bands found mainly in the cecum of black rhinoceros, diceros bicornis (linnaeus, 1758), and white rhinoceros, ceratotherium simum (burchell, 1817) from southern africa. a new genus, rhinozeta, based on the sum total of the characteristics of seven new related species is described. the species described are r. rhinozeta n. sp., r. triciliata n. sp., r. caecalis n. sp., r. addoensis n. sp., r. cristata n. sp., r. multiplatus n. ... | 1988 | 3130481 |
| vitamin e in captive and wild black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis). | the mean plasma level of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin e) measured in 31 free-ranging black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis) was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) than that in 11 captive animals (means +/- se = 0.77 +/- 0.05 and 0.18 +/- 0.03 micrograms/ml, respectively). vitamin e status may influence the health of captive black rhinoceros; in particular, it may be linked to hemolytic anemia commonly observed in these animals in captivity. | 1988 | 3411712 |
| serum alpha-tocopherol, all-trans retinol, total lipids and cholesterol in the black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis). | 1. mean concentration of serum alpha-tocopherol (vitamin e) in 28 free-living black rhinoceroses sedated during translocation in zimbabwe was 1.92 (sd, 0.43) mg/l. 2. alpha-tocopherol was not detectable (less than 0.15 mg/l) in five captive black rhinoceroses held at london zoo. 3. circulating levels of all-trans retinol (vitamin a) were not different between the two groups. 4. the low level of alpha-tocopherol in captive rhinoceroses suggests a risk of acute haemolytic anaemia. | 1988 | 2904345 |
| afrotropical culicoides: a redescription of c. (avaritia) kanagai khamala & kettle, 1971, reared from elephant dung in the kruger national park, south africa. | the discovery of culicoides kanagai in south africa represents a new record for this species. the female is redescribed, and the male is described for the first time. culicoides (a.) dasyops clastrier, 1958 is shown to be closely related to it but c. (a.) alticola is only superficially related. short notes on the larval habitat of c. kanagai, the dung of the african elephant, loxodonta africana, are given. the dung of both the white rhinoceros, ceratotherium simum, and the black rhinoceros, dice ... | 1987 | 3444613 |
| 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 |
| acute intravascular hemolytic anemia in the black rhinoceros: hematologic and immunohematologic observations. | to investigate the syndrome of acute intravascular hemolytic anemia in the black rhinoceros (diceros bicornis), laboratory techniques used in the differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemias were performed on blood samples from 6 black rhinoceroses: 3 nonrelated healthy rhinoceroses, 1 rhinoceros with iron deficiency anemia, and 2 rhinoceroses with intravascular hemolysis. osmotic fragility, erythrocyte membrane protein composition, hemoglobin electrophoresis, and hemoglobin stability did not dis ... | 1986 | 3729133 |
| acute intravascular hemolysis in the black rhinoceros: erythrocyte enzymes and metabolic intermediates. | enzymes of aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis, glutathione cycling, and nucleotide metabolism were assayed on erythrocytes from 7 healthy rhinoceroses, 2 rhinoceroses during periods of intravascular hemolysis, and 1 rhinoceros without clinical signs of illness, which was the mother of 3 offspring with intravascular hemolytic syndrome. measurements also were made of erythrocyte concentrations of glycolytic intermediates, adenine nucleotides, and glutathione. although comparison of results for healt ... | 1986 | 3729134 |
