| hemoprotozoa of freshwater turtles in queensland. | blood smears from 27 turtles (15 emydura signata, nine elseya latisternum, and three chelodina longicollis) from southeastern queensland (australia) were examined for infections by hemoprotozoan parasites between january and june 1999. infections were found in 26 (96%) of the turtles. twenty five (93%) were infected with the adeleorin coccidian haemogregarina clelandi, eight (30%) with the hemosporidian haemoproteus chelodinae, 11 (41%) with the kinetoplastid flagellate trypanosoma chelodinae, a ... | 2001 | 11272486 |
| structure and similarity of helminth communities of six species of australian turtles. | patterns of infracommunity structure and infra- and component community similarity were examined for helminths of 6 species of turtles, each collected from a single locality in australia in 1993 and 1994. elseya latisternum (n = 11) and emydura kreffti (n = 16) were collected from northern queensland, emydura macquarii macquarii (n = 11) from southern queensland, emydura macquarii dhara (n = 11) and chelodina longicollis (n = 11) from northern new south wales, and chelodina oblonga (n = 5) from ... | 2008 | 18576816 |
| phylogenetic relationships of trypanosoma chelodina and trypanosoma binneyi from australian tortoises and platypuses inferred from small subunit rrna analyses. | trypanosome infections are often difficult to detect by conventional microscopy and their pleomorphy often confounds differential diagnosis. molecular techniques are now being used to diagnose infections and to determine phylogenetic relationships between species. complete small subunit rrna gene sequences were determined for isolates of trypanosoma chelodina from the brisbane river tortoise (emydura signata), the saw-shelled tortoise (elseya latisternum), and the eastern snake-necked tortoise ( ... | 2001 | 11719959 |
