| sarcocystis in wild ungulates in alberta. | muscle samples from 557 wild ungulates in alberta, comprising seven species, were examined grossly and/or histologically for cysts of sarcocystis. sarcocystis was found in 100, 96, 94, 75, 75, 73, and 49% of the wapiti (cervus canadensis), moose (alces alces), bison (bison bison), mule deer (odocoileus hemionus), bighorn sheep (ovis canadensis), mountain goat (oreamnos americanus), and white-tailed deer (o. virginianus), respectively. | 1980 | 6780701 |
| genetic variation within and relatedness among wood and plains bison populations. | there are two recognized subspecies of bison, wood (bison bison athabascae) and plains (bison bison bison) bison. the establishment of most bison populations from a small number of individuals has raised concerns about their genetic variation. to this end, 11 bison populations were surveyed with 11 microsatellite loci in order to calculate genetic variation and genetic distances. mean number of alleles ranged between 3.18 at antelope island state park (utah) and 6.55 at wood buffalo national par ... | 1999 | 10382295 |
| wood bison population recovery and forage availability in northwestern canada. | forage availability was assessed to determine sustainable stocking rates for eight broadly defined vegetation types (treed uplands, treed lowlands, mixed tall shrub/sedge, closed-canopied willow, and open-canopied willow, meadow, wetland grass, wetland sedge) for use by wood bison (bison bison athabascae), a threatened subspecies, in the canadian boreal forest of northern alberta. clip plots (n=108) were used to sample peak availability of herbs and current annual growth of salix spp. in late su ... | 2009 | 18191321 |
| risk factors for mycoplasma bovis-associated disease in farmed bison (bison bison) herds in western canada: a case-control study. | north american bison producers have been attempting to control and prevent mycoplasma bovis-associated disease without the benefit of bison-specific knowledge. the objective of this study was to determine the clinical presentation of disease associated with m. bovis infection in western canadian farmed bison, and to identify herd-level risk factors for m. bovis-associated disease. bison producers (n=49) from western canada (manitoba, saskatchewan, alberta, and british columbia) were selected for ... | 2016 | 27317324 |
| a serologic survey of mycoplasma spp. in farmed bison ( bison bison) herds in western canada. | mycoplasma bovis is emerging as an important pathogen of farmed bison in north america and is associated with high morbidity and mortality in affected herds. we developed an in-house elisa to detect antibodies against mycoplasma spp. in bison sera. the aims of the study were to estimate the seroprevalence against mycoplasma spp. in bison herds with or without past history of m. bovis-associated disease, and to determine potential risk factors for seropositivity to mycoplasma spp. in farmed bison ... | 2017 | 28578617 |
