| prevalence, infectivity and oocyst sporulation time of rabbit-coccidia in taiwan. | prevalence of eimeria species parasitizing rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) in taiwan were investigated. six eimeria species, namely: eimeria media (prevalence, 158/642; 24.6%), eimeria magna (101/642; 15.7%), eimeria perforans (58/642; 9.0%), eimeria coecicola (46/642; 7.2%), eimeria piriformis (16/642; 2.5%), and eimeria exigua (9/642; 1.4%) were observed. the overall prevalence of these coccidial infections in rabbits from pet shops and farms was 46.2% and 41.7%, respectively. concurrent infec ... | 2010 | 21399582 |
| studies on trypanosomes in the taiwan monkey. | fifty-three or 9% of 594 taiwan monkeys, macaca cyclopis, were found infected with a trypanosome species. the parasites were recovered from monkey blood in diaphasic blood-agar culture medium with a locke's solution overlay. trypanosomes were found on only a few thick blood smears and no dividing or multiplying forms were found. some of the organisms had a free-flagellum (4.7 microns), an undulating membrane and both ends of the body were pointed. the total length averaged 41.7 microns; nucleus ... | 1983 | 6673131 |
