| [the european mouflon, ovis musimon]. | until a couple of decades ago, the european mouflon found on the islands of corsica, sardinia, and cyprus was considered an independent wild species and last representative of the european wild sheep. however, recent research has shown that there have not been wild sheep in europe since the late pleistocene. archeological investigation in corsica has shown that the mouflon is not a wild sheep but a primitive domestic sheep brought to the islands by farmers from the near east and which then becam ... | 1996 | 8928183 |
| a comparative ultrastructural study of the parotid gland acinar cells of nine wild ruminant species (mammalia, artiodactyla). | the ultrastructural similarities and differences of the parotid gland acinar cells of nine wild ruminants (roe deer, nyala, tahr, eld's deer, red deer, pere david's deer, european mouflon, african buffalo, sable antelope) representing three feeding types i.e. concentrate selectors (cs), grass and roughage eaters (gr) and intermediate feeders (im) were compared. the parotid acinar cells of the cs contained more granular endoplasmic reticulum, golgi-complexes and secretory granules than those of t ... | 1996 | 9090994 |
| spermatogenesis in the ixodid tick haemaphysalis (herpetobia) sulcata (acarina:ixodidae). | haemaphysalis sulcata (acarina, ixodidae) is a common ectoparasite of wild artiodactyls (mouflon and wild goat) in sierra nevada (granada, southern spain). a study of the spermatogonial meiosis of 15 h. sulcata males was carried out. the diploid complement is 2n = 21 and its sex determination is xx:xo. the behavior of the chromosomes in the different stages of meiosis was also investigated, and the possible presence of a secondary nucleolar organizer region in h. sulcata is discussed. | 1997 | 9105298 |
| morphological variability of forestomach mucosal membrane in red deer, fallow deer, roe deer and mouflon. | the number and size of ruminal papillae, reticular cells and omasal laminae in free-living game deer (red deer, fallow deer, roe deer and mouflon) were examined. mucosal membrane (mm) specimens were collected from the forestomachs of hunted deer. these parameters were assessed as related to the grazing environment, sex and age of animals. the number and size of ruminal papillae corresponded the best to the feeding specialization of the respective deer species and affecting factors. in two areas ... | 2001 | 11445418 |
| effect of ivermectin on activities of cytochrome p450 isoenzymes in mouflon (ovis musimon) and fallow deer (dama dama). | ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug widely used in veterinary and human medicine. we have found earlier that repeated treatments of rats with high doses of this drug led to significant increase of cytochrome p450-dependent 7-methoxyresorufin o-demethylase (mrod) and 7-ethoxyresorufin o-deethylase (erod) activities in hepatic microsomes. in the present study, the effects of ivermectin on cytochrome p450 (cyp) activities were investigated in mouflon (ovis musimon) and fallow deer (dama dama). this ... | 2001 | 11551531 |
