| intestinal protozoa and associated bacteria in captive houbara bustards (chlamydotis undulata) in the united arab emirates. | a protozoal survey was carried out in 114 captive houbara bustards (chlamydotis undulata) in the united arab emirates. trichomonas gallinarum, chilomastix gallinarum, giardia spp. and lophomonas spp. were detected from faecal samples of 49 (43%) captive houbara bustards. culture and identification studies were carried out to assess associated bacteria. the bacteria isolated from birds negative to protozoa included enterococcus spp., aerococcus spp., micrococci spp., proteus spp., enterobacter sp ... | 1999 | 16147554 |
| parasites from farmed ostriches (struthio camelus) and rheas (rhea americana) in europe. | during a 4-year-period, more than 500 ostriches and several rheas, all born in european countries and raised in spain and portugal, have been analyzed for the presence of ectoparasites and endoparasites. a total of 29 parasite species have been found, most of them of the gastrointestinal tract. some of the helminth species found may represent spureous parasitosis, as only the eggs (of an ascarid and a trematode) were found in some samples. from the organisms identified, the ectoparasites (lice-s ... | 2002 | 12072221 |
| experimental infections in chickens with chilomastix gallinarum, tetratrichomonas gallinarum, and tritrichomonas eberthi. | flagellates from the caeca of a diseased hen and a diseased goose were transmitted to 35 specific pathogen-free (spf) chickens. the flagellates of chicken origin were identified as chilomastix gallinarum, tritrichomonas eberthi, and tetratrichomonas gallinarum. t. eberthi was not detected in the material of goose origin. morphologic studies did not reveal any differences between chilomastix and tetratrichomonas specimens from chicken or goose origin. the species from the goose were identified as ... | 1991 | 1830966 |
