| [a new rickettsiale of gambia rats (cricetomys gambianus) in senegal : grahamella kaniae n. sp. (bartonellacae)]. | giant rat (cricetomys gambianus waterh) is a big rodent very common in west africa. its burrow is bordering upon huts and lofts in the african villages. omnivorous, it is more or less a commensal of the man. the blood of 20 adults male and female specimens captured in the sine saloum (fatik) and presqu'ille du cap vert (dakar) regions was examined (peripheric blood smears). in 60 p. 100 (12/20) of hemograms, an intraerythrocytic organism of the genus grahamella brumpt 1911 was observed. rod-shap ... | 1981 | 7346907 |
| [a new rickettsiale (ehrlichiae) in leukocytes of the blood of gambia rats (cricetomys gambianus) in senegal : cytoecetes kamtchoulii n. sp]. | among 20 hemograms (peripheric blood smears) carried out upon some adults male and female giant rats, (cricetomys gambianus) captured in the dakar region, two (10 p. 100) are infected by one rickettsiale of the ehrlichiae tribe and of the cytoecetes genus tyzzer, 1938. polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes and monocytes, more or less 1/25, and monocytes, more or less 1/40, of the systemic circulation are infected by "elementary bodies" (diameter : 0.1 to 0.3 mu) included in the cell protoplasm ... | 1981 | 7346908 |
| [liver capillariasis (calodium hepaticum) in rodents from ituri (drc) and dakar (senegal)]. | human hepatic capillariosis due to calodium hepaticum is rarely described in africa, probably because of the lack of diagnosis tools. however, it is known that the animal reservoir is made up of rodents. during a study performed on 24 black rats (rattus rattus) trapped in rethy (congodr) and 20 gambian pouched rats (cricetomys gambianus) in dakar (senegal), macroscopic and histological hepatic lesions of capillariosis were found in 8 of these rodents (3 in rethy and 5 in dakar). these results le ... | 2014 | 24363019 |
| two new species of nippostrongylinae (nematoda, trichostrongylina) parasites of cricetomys gambianus and arvicanthis niloticus (muridae) from senegal. | two new nippostrongylinae (heligmosomoidea, heligmonellidae) originating from senegal are described. heligmonina bioccai n. sp., a parasite of cricetomys gambianus (cricetomyinae) found in the surroundings of dakar and neoheligmonella bai n. sp., a parasite of arvicanthis niloticus (murinae) from the province of richard toll. h. bioccai n. sp. is related to h. hybomysi (durette-desset, 1966) a parasite of hybomys univittatus from the central african republic by some characteristics of the caudal ... | 2002 | 12404816 |
