| vector ability of mosquitoes for isolates of plasmodium elongatum from raptors in florida. | three isolates of plasmodium elongatum were obtained from 3 species of raptors (red-tailed hawk [buteo jamaicensis], bald eagle [haliaeetus leucocephalus], and eastern screech owl [otus asio]) from florida using isodiagnostic techniques in pekin ducks (anas platyrhynchos). six to 10 species of mosquitoes were tested for susceptibility to these 3 isolates. complete development of the sporogonic cycle of the 3 isolates of p. elongatum occurred in 3 species of mosquitoes, culex nigripalpus, culex r ... | 1998 | 9645854 |
| residues of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls and autopsy data for bald eagles, 1971-72. | thirty-seven bald eagles found sick or dead in 18 states during 1971-72 were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (pcb's). dde and pcb's were detected in all bald eagle carcasses; 30 carcasses contained ddd and 28 contained dieldrin. four eagles contained possibly lethal levels of dieldrin and nine eagles had been poisoned by thallium. autopsies revealed that illegal shooting was the most common cause of mortality. since 1964 when data were first collected, 8 of t ... | 1975 | 810769 |
| accumulation profiles of parabens and their metabolites in fish, black bear, and birds, including bald eagles and albatrosses. | although several studies have reported the ubiquitous occurrence of parabens in human specimens and the environment, little is known about the accumulation of these estrogenic chemicals in fish and birds. in this study, accumulation profiles of six parabens and their metabolites were determined in 254 tissue (including liver, kidney, egg, and plasma) samples from 12 species of fish and seven species of birds collected from inland, coastal, and remote aquatic ecosystems. in addition, liver and ki ... | 2016 | 27329692 |
| a retrospective study of morbidity and mortality of raptors in florida: 1988-1994. | a retrospective study was conducted on 390 raptors admitted to the university of florida veterinary medical teaching hospital (vmth) during 1988-1994. representatives of 20 species were admitted; the five most common species were the barred owl (strix varia, 72), eastern sreech owl (otus asio, 63), red-shouldered hawk (buteo lineatus, 49), bald eagle (haleaeetus leucocephalus, 43), and red-tailed hawk (buteo jamaicensis, 38). a primary clinical diagnosis was determined in 340 (87%) of the 390 ra ... | 1998 | 9732030 |
| plasmodium forresteri n. sp., from raptors in florida and southern georgia: its distinction from plasmodium elongatum morphologically within and among host species and by vector susceptibility. | plasmodium forresteri n. sp. naturally infects eastern screech-owls (otus asio), great horned owls (bubo virginianus), barred owls (strix varia), bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-shouldered hawks (buteo lineatus), broad-winged hawks (buteo platypterus), and red-tailed hawks (buteo jamaicensis) in florida and southern georgia. schizonts occur in mature or nearly mature erythrocytes, produce 2-6 merozoites arranged most commonly in fan or cruciform configuration, with mean dimensions am ... | 1997 | 9379302 |

| ecological risk of methylmercury in everglades national park, florida, usa. | dramatic declines in mercury levels have been reported in everglades biota in recent years. yet, methylmercury (mehg) hot spots remain. this paper summarizes a risk assessment of mehg exposure to three piscivorous wildlife species (bald eagle, haliaeetus leucocephalus; wood stork, mycteria americana; and great egret, ardea albus) foraging at a mehg hot spot in northern everglades national park (enp). available data consisted of literature-derived life history parameters and tissue concentrations ... | 2008 | 18679795 |
