| canine heartworm (dirofilaria immitis) detected in red foxes (vulpes vulpes) in urban melbourne. | canine heartworm (dirofilaria immitis) was detected by antigen elisa in 8 (6.4%) of 125 red foxes (vulpes vulpes) captured in the melbourne (australia) metropolitan area. circulating microfilariae were also detected by whole blood filtration in six of these foxes. cursory sampling of mosquitos at two of the sites where positive foxes were captured revealed the existence of two known mosquito vectors of dirofilaria. the existence of widespread fox populations in melbourne, together with known mos ... | 1998 | 9735919 |
| interspecific and geographic variation in the diets of sympatric carnivores: dingoes/wild dogs and red foxes in south-eastern australia. | dingoes/wild dogs (canis dingo/familiaris) and red foxes (vulpes vulpes) are widespread carnivores in southern australia and are controlled to reduce predation on domestic livestock and native fauna. we used the occurrence of food items in 5875 dingo/wild dog scats and 11,569 fox scats to evaluate interspecific and geographic differences in the diets of these species within nine regions of victoria, south-eastern australia. the nine regions encompass a wide variety of ecosystems. diet overlap be ... | 2015 | 25790230 |
| microsatellite differentiation between phillip island and mainland australian populations of the red fox vulpes vulpes. | predation by the red fox vulpes vulpes is believed to be threatening the little penguin eudyptula minor on phillip island in victoria. polymorphism at seven microsatellite loci was examined to estimate the extent of differentiation between phillip island and mainland populations of v. vulpes. loss of alleles has occurred on phillip island where foxes first appeared approximately 88 years ago compared with mainland populations. genetic differentiation between the phillip island and mainland popul ... | 1996 | 9147696 |
