| coccidia of sandhill cranes, grus canadensis. | eimeria gruis yakinoff and matschoulsky 1935, eimeria reichenowi yakimoff and matschoulsky 1935, and an adelina species are described from sandhill cranes in the united states. e. gruis was found in the feces of 11 of 14 florida sandhill cranes (grus canadensis pratensis) and 62 of 72 greater sandhill cranes (g. c. tabida) from florida, 5 of 14 greater sandhill cranes from arizona, and 4 of 16 lesser sandhill cranes (g. c. canadensis) from texas. e. reichenowi was found in the feces of 12 of 14 ... | 1975 | 809566 |
| helminth fauna of sandhill crane populations in texas. | three species of trematode [orchipedium jolliei schell, 1967; prohyptiamus grusi kocan, waldrup, ramakka, and iverson, 1982; echinostoma revolutum (froelich, 1802)], three species of nematode (tetrameres grusi shumakovich, 1946; synhimanthus sp.; contracaecum sp.), and one species of cestode (anomotaenia sp.) were recovered from 146 sandhill cranes, grus canadensis (linnaeus), collected in alaska, canada, and two areas in texas. the only common and abundant species were o. jolliei and t grusi. o ... | 1984 | 6492322 |
| fusarium mycotoxins from peanuts suspected as a cause of sandhill crane mortality. | an estimated 9,500 sandhill cranes (grus canadensis) died in gaines county, texas and roosevelt county, new mexico between 1982 and 1987. the predominant clinical sign observed in sick cranes was their inability to hold their heads erect, both while standing and flying. multiple muscle hemorrhages and submandibular edema were the most common lesions seen at necropsy. mycotoxins produced by fusarium sp. growing during cold, wet weather on peanuts left in the field after harvest, the predominant f ... | 1989 | 2915402 |
| suspected fusariomycotoxicosis in sandhill cranes (grus canadensis): clinical and pathological findings. | in 1985 and 1986, large-scale natural die-offs of sandhill cranes in texas were attributed to fusariomycotoxicosis. these birds demonstrated a progressive loss of motor control to the neck, wings, and legs. based on necropsy and/or histopathology of 31 cranes, the most common lesions involved skeletal muscle and included hemorrhages, granulomatous myositis, thrombosis, and vascular degeneration. serum chemistry results revealed that levels of creatinine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, and al ... | 2003 | 2775094 |
| haemosporida prevalence and diversity are similar in endangered wild whooping cranes (grus americana) and sympatric sandhill cranes (grus canadensis). | the population growth of endangered whooping cranes (grus americana) is not consistent with species recovery goals, and the impact of parasite infection on whooping crane populations is largely unknown. disease ecology and epidemiology research of endangered species is often hindered by limited ability to conduct invasive sampling on the target taxa. accordingly, we hypothesized that sandhill cranes (grus canadensis) would be a useful surrogate species to investigate the health impacts of haemos ... | 2017 | 27938437 |
