| coprology of panthera tigris altaica and felis bengalensis euptilurus from the russian far east. | fecal samples from the siberian tiger (panthera tigris altaica) and the amur cat (felis bengalensis euptilurus) from far eastern russia, were examined for parasites. a natural sedimentation methodology was used and a complete examination of all the sediment was performed. this fecal investigation allowed us to isolate and identify several developmental stages of gastrointestinal, hepatic, and respiratory parasites. five parasites were found from p. t. altaica: 11 trematodes (platynosomum fastosu ... | 2007 | 17918383 |
| sequence analysis of mitochondrial genome of toxascaris leonina from a south china tiger. | toxascaris leonina is a common parasitic nematode of wild mammals and has significant impacts on the protection of rare wild animals. to analyze population genetic characteristics of t. leonina from south china tiger, its mitochondrial (mt) genome was sequenced. its complete circular mt genome was 14,277 bp in length, including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 trna genes, 2 rrna genes, and 2 non-coding regions. the nucleotide composition was biased toward a and t. the most common start codon and stop ... | 2016 | 28095667 |
| ascarid infestation in captive siberian tigers in china. | the siberian tiger is endangered and is listed by the international union for the conservation of nature; the captive environment is utilized to maintain siberian tiger numbers. little information regarding the prevalence of parasites in siberian tigers is available. a total of 277 fecal samples of siberian tigers were analyzed in this study. the microscopic analysis indicated the presence of ascarid eggs of toxascaris leonina and toxocara cati. the ascarid infection rate was 67.5% in siberian t ... | 2016 | 27514888 |
