| innocuity studies of sag-2 oral rabies vaccine in various zimbabwean wild non-target species. | the sag-2 modified live rabies vaccine was tested for innocuity when administered by the oral route in several potential wild non-target bait-consuming species, as follows: ten chacma baboons (papio ursinus), six african civets (civettictis civetta), six slender mongooses (galerella sanguinea), six honey badgers (mellivora capensis), six large-spotted genets (genetta tigrina), 39 multi-mammate mice (mastomys natalensis), 26 bushveld gerbils (tatera leucogaster) and six pied crows (corvus albus). ... | 1997 | 9261938 |
| the pied crow (corvus albus) is insensitive to diclofenac at concentrations present in carrion. | diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid), kills vultures (gyps spp.) that consume tainted carcasses. as a result, vulture populations in india, nepal, and pakistan have been devastated. studies on meloxicam and ketoprofen demonstrated that the toxicity of the nsaids is unpredictable, thereby necessitating individual testing of all available nsaids. because it is no longer practical to use vultures for toxicity testing, we evaluated the pied crow (corvus albus) as a model. pied c ... | 2011 | 22102664 |
| bird fossils from ankilitelo cave: inference about holocene environmental changes in southwestern madagascar. | the identifications of non-permineralized fossil bird bones recovered from ankilitelo cave in southwestern madagascar are presented. among the more than 560 elements recovered, 29 different taxa were identified, the vast majority being species that still occur in this region of the island. eggshell remains from the extinct elephant bird (family aepyornithidae) and assigned to aepyornis sp. were found at the site. two identified extant taxa, scopus umbretta and monias benschi, no longer occur in ... | 2013 | 25113715 |
