| parasitic helminths of the wild rabbit, oryctolagus cuniculus, in different bioclimatic zones in tenerife, canary islands. | faunistic and ecological analyses of the wild rabbit helminth fauna were undertaken in tenerife island (canary islands). rabbits were collected between 1998 and 2000 in seven bioclimatic zones in tenerife selected by orientation and altitude. five parasite species were identified, three cestodes (taenia pisiformis (larvae), andrya cuniculi and mosgovoyia ctenoides) and two nematodes (trichostrongylus retortaeformis and passalurus ambiguus). taenia pisiformis presented an irregular distribution w ... | 2003 | 14627446 |
| geographical variation in cloacal microflora and bacterial antibiotic resistance in a threatened avian scavenger in relation to diet and livestock farming practices. | the impact on wildlife health of the increase in the use of antimicrobial agents with the intensification of livestock production remains unknown. the composition, richness and prevalence of cloacal microflora as well as bacterial resistance to antibiotics in nestlings and full-grown egyptian vultures neophron percnopterus were assessed in four areas of spain in which the degree of farming intensification differs. differences in diet composition, especially the role of stabled livestock carrion, ... | 2007 | 17564607 |
| contribution of collagen stable isotope biogeochemistry to the paleobiology of extinct endemic vertebrates from tenerife (canary islands, spain). | the paleodiet and paleoenvironmental context of two extinct species from tenerife island, one giant rat canariomys bravoi and one giant lizard gallotia goliath, have been investigated using carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of fossil bone collagen. preliminary to this study, a calibration of the isotopic variations of bone collagen from modern rat rattus rattus, rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus and lizard gallotia galotti relative to environmental conditions on tenerife islands has been atte ... | 2003 | 14521281 |
| emerging rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (rhdv2) at the gates of the african continent. | until the beginning of this decade, the genetic characterization of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv) from iberian peninsula had revealed the existence of two genogroups, g1 and sporadically g6. in 2010, the new emerging rabbit haemorrhagic disease variant, rhdv2 or rhdvb, was described in france, from where it has rapidly spread throughout europe, including iberian peninsula countries. nevertheless, although cases of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (rhd) have been reported in the canary isla ... | 2016 | 27321441 |
