| identification of the tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata) and the red fox (vulpes vulpes) by copro-dna diagnosis. | studies on feeding habits based on faeces dissecting are imperative to understand the natural history of tibetan foxes and their functions in the transmission of a lethal zoonotic parasite, echinococcus multilocularis. however, tibetan foxes and red foxes live sympatrically on the tibetan plateau, china. therefore, the faeces of tibetan foxes must be distinguished from those of red foxes. we established a diagnostic method to distinguish the faeces of the two species by amplifying a portion of t ... | 2011 | 21429124 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the tibetan red fox (vulpes vulpes montana). | in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the tibetan red fox (vulpes vulpes montana) was sequenced for the first time using blood samples obtained from a wild female red fox captured from lhasa in tibet, china. qinghai--tibet plateau is the highest plateau in the world with an average elevation above 3500 m. sequence analysis showed it contains 12s rrna gene, 16s rrna gene, 22 trna genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region (cr). the variable tandem repeats in cr is the main ... | 2015 | 24456141 |
