| cerebral coeneurosis in chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica). | two cases of cerebral coeneurosis in chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica) from catalonia (northeastern spain) are described. this disease, of which few cases have been reported, may, in fact, be relatively frequent. although the characteristic symptom of the disease in sheep is circling, that symptom was not observed in this study. chamois may act as a host within the sheep-shepherd-dog cycle, but is probable that red fox (vulpes vulpes) also acts as a definitive host. | 1995 | 8546018 |
| the epizootiology of sarcoptic mange in chamois, rupicapra rupicapra, from the italian eastern alps. | sarcoptic mange is the most severe infection in chamois in the eastern alps. this study analyses and discusses data from two mange foci in the foresta demaniale di tarvisio (ne italy). the first impact of mange on naive host populations was dramatic, with mortality rates of over 80%. the chamois herds were decimated, but they recovered quite fast and two later epizootics were observed to have a far less severe impact on the chamois population. intervals between successive waves lasted 10 to 15 y ... | 1995 | 8778664 |
| polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis: a simple method for species identification in food. | the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique was applied to meat species identification in marinated and heat-treated or fermented products and to the differentiation of closely related species. dna was isolated from meat samples by using a dna-binding resin and was subjected to pcr analysis. primers used were complementary to conserved areas of the vertebrate mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene and yielded a 359 base-pair (bp) fragment, including a variable 307 bp region. restriction endonu ... | 1995 | 8664595 |
| adrenocortical zonation in chamois-coloured mastomys, praomys coucha. | body and adrenal weights, and histology of the adrenal cortex were examined in the chamois-coloured mastomys (praomys coucha) at inbred generations 3 to 10. body and adrenal weights were consistently larger in males than in females, although the adrenal to body weight ratios tended to be lower before 50 days of age and were clearly higher after. distinct sex differences were found in the adrenal cortex. the whole cortex and the zona reticularis were thicker in males and the zona reticularis beca ... | 1995 | 7603010 |
| application of dna fingerprinting to population study of chamois (rupicapra rupicapra). | hypervariable minisatellite dna probes 33.15 and 33.6, originally developed for studies in human populations, were used to study genetic variation in chamois (rupicapra rupicapra). the mean number of bands per individual was 25 for probe 33.15 and 15 for probe 33.6. the average band frequency was 0.33 for both probes. the mean similarity was 0.44, greater than that reported for human and natural populations and close to values found in domestic populations of mammals. this lack of variability co ... | 1996 | 8894052 |
| impact of abomasal nematodes on roe deer and chamois body condition in an alpine environment. | abomasal helminths were examined from 101 roe deer and 43 chamois, shot or found-dead, in the period july-november 1993-95, in the parco naturale paneveggio pale di san martino (italian eastern alps). twelve helminth species were observed in both roe deer and chamois. for both host species, discriminant analysis, using the abundance of each parasite species in the hosts, failed to distinguish between subjects from each of the three study years. for 44 roe deer and 27 chamois data on body weight, ... | 1997 | 9802085 |
| molecular genetic analyses of parapoxviruses pathogenic for humans. | the current members of the genus parapoxvirus are orf virus (orfv), bovine papular stomatitis virus (bpsv), pseudocowpoxvirus (pcpv) and parapoxvirus of red deer in new zealand (pvnz). bpsv and pcpv are maintained in cattle while orfv is maintained in sheep and goats, but all three are zoonoses. only the recently reported pvnz has yet to be recorded as infecting humans. tentative members of the genus are camel contagious ecthyma virus, chamois contagious ecthyma virus and sealpoxvirus. the separ ... | 1997 | 9413523 |
| epizootiology of sarcoptic mange in a population of cantabrian chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) in northwestern spain. | in may of 1993, an epizootic of sarcoptic mange (sarcoptes scabiei) was detected in the chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) population of the cantabrian mountains in northwestern spain. the epizootic initially spread across an area inhabited by some 1600 chamois. mortality was lower than reported for other populations of ungulates. the maximum number of animals were affected from february to may. four red deer (cervus elaphus) and a roe deer (capreolus capreolus), were diagnosed with sarcoptic m ... | 1997 | 9477502 |
| a survey of the gastro-intestinal nematodes of roe deer (capreolus capreolus) in a mountain habitat. | two hundred and twenty one roe deer from a xeric inner-alpine valley in italy were investigated along four yearly cycles for the presence of gastro-intestinal nematodes. road kills were the main source of this material. spiculopteragia spiculoptera and ostertagia leptospicularis, with their "minor" morphs s. mathevossiani and o. kolchida, were the dominant abomasal species, whereas nematodirus europaeus was the only dominant species in the small intestine; therefore, species composition was typi ... | 1997 | 9802084 |
| [occupational exposure to metallic mercury in the dentist's office of a public primary health care clinic in the city of são paulo] | this paper discusses occupational exposure to metallic mercury among dentists and dental assistants, focusing on biological evaluation, effects on heaith, and environmental evaluation. methods included visits to the clinic, hazard maps, urinary and environmental mercury measurements, and evaluation of health status. results for the environment and work processes showed that mercury vapor concentrations impregnating surfaces and piping varied from 0.001 to 0.051 mg/m3 in air; occupational exposur ... | 1997 | 10886855 |
| are more passes better? safety versus efficacy with the pulsed co2 laser. | whether greatly increasing the number of passes with the pulsed co2 laser compromises safety or enhances effectiveness is unknown. intuitively speaking, more passes should produce a greater depth of injury with better removal of wrinkles but greater likelihood of scarring. a chamois color has been said to signal laser penetration of the reticular dermis and has been recommended as an end point for safe treatment. isolated case reports and anecdotal stories suggest that the potential for scarring ... | 1997 | 9385968 |
| increasing himalayan tahr and decreasing chamois densities in the eastern southern alps, new zealand: evidence for interspecific competition. | there is anecdotal evidence that increasing densities of himalayan tahr (hemitragus jemlahicus) are associated with declining densities of chamois (rupicapra rupicapra) in the southern alps, new zealand. to examine this phenomenon, densities of tahr and chamois were measured at 53 sites within their sympatric range in the eastern southern alps during 1978-1979. in sites where only one species was present, tahr density was significantly higher than chamois density (p=0.032), probably reflecting s ... | 1998 | 28307822 |
| immunohistochemical study of normal and mange (s. scabiei var. rupicaprae) infested chamois (rupicapra rupicapra l.) skin. | the immunohistochemical study of chamois (rupicapra rupicapra l.) skin showed that a limited number of available monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies expressed reactivity with skin cell components. these included cytokeratins, vimentin, desmin, neuron-specific enolase and s-100 protein with almost the same distribution pattern as already described in the skin of humans and animals. antibodies used for labelling skin-associated lymphoid tissues and other cells with the immunologic function in hum ... | 1998 | 9652147 |
| protostrongylid nematode infection of chamois (rupicapra rupicapra) at the bauges massif (french alps). | from 1979 to 1985, protostrongylid infections (small lungworms) of chamois were studied at the bauges hunting reserve, in the western alps. fifty-two chamois were necropsied on 24 sites and lung nematodes identified to species. from june to november 1985, a more detailed study was undertaken on four sites where chamois were the only ruminants. first-stage larvae excreted in feces and infection of snails intermediate hosts were monitored. the protostrongylid species were, arranged in decreasing o ... | 1998 | 9746285 |
| isolation of brucella melitensis from alpine ibex. | eleven alpine ibex (capra ibex) and 27 chamois (rupicapra rupicapra) from gran paradiso national park (italy) were examined in march 1996. a 7-yr-old ibex buck had thick-walled carpal joints and enlargement of the right testicle characterized by necrosis and fibrosis. microscopically, testicular lesions were characterized by large areas of necrosis, fibrosis with irregular aggregates of macrophages and lymphocytes, and scattered foci of suppuration. specimens of the carpal bursae and testicle we ... | 1998 | 9577795 |
| report of a case of pyogenic arthritis associated with actinomyces pyogenes in a chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica). | a case of pyogenic arthritis associated to an actinomyces pyogenes infection in a chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica) is described. the animal was a 5-year-old female that had been seen alone in a wooded area close to a small town in november 1995, and was lame on one front limb. one month later, it was seen again in a nearby area. its lameness had worsened and it knuckled on both front limbs while eating. its nutrition status had worsened considerably. on 8 january 1996 the animal was found dead. it ... | 1998 | 9640106 |
| puncture resistance and tensile strength of skin simulants. | this study aims ultimately to quantify the force needed to penetrate human tissue. the results will reduce the subjectivity of expert opinion in stabbing incidents. they will also aid clinicians in assessing the severity of injury and help prevent the unnecessary deaths which can occur when this is not fully appreciated. tensile tests were performed to identify suitable skin simulants with synthetic chamois and pigskin as candidate materials. quasi-static penetration experiments were also perfor ... | 1999 | 10635698 |
| identification of nematodirus species (nematoda: molineidae) from wild ruminants in italy using ribosomal dna markers. | the sequence of the second internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal dna was determined for four species of nematodirus (nematodirus rupicaprae, nematodirus oiratianus, nematodirus davtiani alpinus and nematodirus europaeus) from roe deer or alpine chamois. the second internal transcribed spacer of the four species varied in length from 228 to 236 bp, and the g + c contents ranged from 41 to 44%. while no intraspecific sequence variation was detected among multiple samples representing three of t ... | 1999 | 10616927 |
