| the amino acid sequence of topi pancreatic ribonuclease. | pancreatic tissue from topi (damaliscus korrigum) contains three ribonuclease components in a ratio of 8:22:70. two components are glycosidated, whereas the third one does not contain carbohydrate. the amino acid sequence of topi ribonuclease a was deduced from a tryptic digest of the performic acid-oxidized protein. peptides were positioned by homology with other bovid ribonucleases. only peptides that differed in amino acid composition from the corresponding peptides of bovine ribonuclease wer ... | 1976 | 990282 |
| antibodies to some pathogenic agents in free-living wild species in tanzania. | a total of 535 sera from eight species of wildlife were collected from different game areas in tanzania between 1987 and 1989. these sera were tested for antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease, bovine herpes virus types 1 and 2, lumpy skin disease, bovine viral diarrhoea, akabane, bovine ephemeral fever, bluetongue, enzootic bovine leucosis, african horse sickness and african swine fever viruses and brucella abortus based on the expected species susceptibility. sera from buffalo syncerus caff ... | 1990 | 2123458 |
| [morphology of the teguments of schistosoma bovis; variations linked to the vertebrate host; comparison with s. curassoni]. | s. e. m. study of the dorsal anterior one third of male schistosoma bovis and of the anterior ventral border of the gynaecophoric duct. s. bovis was previously described as possessing spineless tubercles. this is so in specimens obtained from experimentally infected rodents, but in cattle, on the contrary, when conditions are favourable, teguments have spiny tubercles. two morphological types have been observed: the first in bos taurus from sardinia, the second in domestic (bos indicus) and wild ... | 1987 | 3447509 |
| hydatid disease in the turkana district of kenya. iii. the significance of wild animals in the transmission of echinococcus granulosus, with particular reference to turkana and masailand in kenya. | the results are given of a study on the role of wildlife in the transmission of echinococcus granulosus in the turkana and narok districts of kenya. a total of 76 wild carnivores belonging to three separate species was examined from turkana district. echinococcus adults were found in 11 of 38 silver-backed jackals (canis mesomelas) and in six of 22 golden jackals (canis aureus). this is the first record of golden jackals being infected with this parasite in kenya. none of 16 spotted hyaenas (cro ... | 1983 | 6882057 |

| rainfall influences on ungulate population abundance in the mara-serengeti ecosystem. | 1. rainfall is the prime climatic factor underpinning the dynamics of african savanna ungulates, but no study has analysed its influence on the abundance of these ungulates at monthly to multiannual time scales. 2. we report relationships between rainfall and changes in age- and sex-structured abundances of seven ungulate species monitored monthly for 15 years using vehicle ground counts in the maasai mara national reserve, kenya. 3. abundance showed strong and curvilinear relationships with cur ... | 2008 | 18422558 |
