| morphological and molecular characteristics of a species of hepatozoon miller, 1908 (apicomplexa: adeleorina) from the blood of isoodon obesulus (marsupialia: peramelidae) in western australia. | examination of blood films as part of a study to assess the health status of the southern brown bandicoot isoodon obesulus (shaw) in western australia revealed the gamonts of a haemogregarine parasite in some samples, the first to be recognised in a bandicoot in this state. light microscope morphological characteristics and partial sequence of the 18s rrna gene were used to describe these organisms. morphological characters did not differentiate the organism in the current study from previously ... | 2006 | 16758303 |
| the first record of a member of the genus hepatozoon in the eastern barred bandicoot (perameles gunnii) in tasmania. | of 220 wild eastern barred bandicoots (perameles gunnii) captured in two locations in tasmania, australia, 55 (25%) had a detectable parasitaemia with gametocytes of the protozoan genus hepatozoon in blood films. blood films were stained with leishman stain and acridine orange o. gamonts were commonly found as intracellular forms and occasionally observed as extracellular forms in peripheral erythrocytes. this is the first record of a member of the genus hepatozoon in any temperate bandicoot and ... | 1996 | 8885895 |
