| first report of cryptosporidium species in farmed and wild buffalo from the northern territory, australia. | a molecular epidemiological survey of cryptosporidium from water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) in the northern territory in australia was conducted. fecal samples were collected from adult farmed (n = 50) and wild buffalo (n = 50) and screened using an 18s quantitative pcr (qpcr). positives were typed by sequence analysis of 18s nested pcr products. the qpcr prevalence of cryptosporidium species in farmed and wild buffalo was 30 and 12 %, respectively. sequence analysis identified two species: c. pa ... | 2016 | 26758449 |
| antibodies to bovine viral diarrhoea virus (bvdv) in water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) and cattle from the northern territory of australia. | farmed and feral water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) populations often coexist with cattle in the northern territory of australia, but their level of exposure to bovine viral diarrhoea virus (bvdv) is unknown. | 2016 | 27785794 |
| prevalence and distribution of neospora caninum in water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) and cattle in the northern territory of australia. | the seroprevalence of neospora caninum infection in water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) and domestic cattle in the northern territory (nt) of australia has never been determined. a total of 480 serum samples from water buffalo and 192 serum samples from cattle, collected by the nt government from 1993 through to 2001, at 18 different survey sites throughout the northern territory were tested by commercial elisa for anti-n. caninum antibodies. the water buffalo samples demonstrated a seroprevalence o ... | 2015 | 25992666 |
| normal haematological and biochemical values for the swamp buffalo (bubalus bubalis) in australia. | blood samples were collected from 24 immature male, 55 immature female and 99 mature female water buffalo kept at an experimental farm in the northern territory. haematological analysis was performed on blood collected in dipotassium--ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid while biochemical analysis was performed on serum and plasma (for glucose) samples. haematological values of mature buffalo were similar to those recorded for swamp buffalo in malaysia. blood cell appearances were similar to those ... | 1984 | 6743148 |
| arboviruses recovered from sentinel livestock in northern australia. | over 700 arboviruses were recovered between 1981 and 1987 from the blood of sentinel livestock near darwin. twenty-three isolates were made from sheep, goats, swamp buffalo (bubalus bubalis) and horses, and the remainder were from cattle. the isolates have been typed as 27 separate viruses belonging to the bluetongue, epizootic haemorrhagic disease, palyam, simbu, bovine ephemeral fever, tibrogargan and alphavirus groups. ten of these viruses have not been isolated elsewhere in australia and fou ... | 1988 | 3218073 |
