| evaluation of the enteric microflora of captive whooping cranes (grus americana) and sandhill cranes (grus canadensis). | the enteric flora of captive whooping cranes (grus americana) and sandhill cranes (grus canadensis) has not been well described, despite its potential importance in the understanding of both the normal condition of the intestinal physiology of these animals and the altered colonization within disease states in these birds. nineteen whooping cranes and 23 sandhill cranes housed currently at the calgary zoo or its affiliated devonian wildlife conservation centre (dwcc) in calgary, alberta were sam ... | 2007 | 19360567 |
| molecular detection of campylobacter spp. and fecal indicator bacteria during the northern migration of sandhill cranes (grus canadensis) at the central platte river. | the risk to human health of the annual sandhill crane (grus canadensis) migration through nebraska, which is thought to be a major source of fecal pollution of the central platte river, is unknown. to better understand potential risks, the presence of campylobacter species and three fecal indicator bacterial groups (enterococcus spp., escherichia coli, and bacteroidetes) was assayed by pcr from crane excreta and water samples collected during their stopover at the platte river, nebraska, in 2010 ... | 2013 | 23584775 |
