| corynebacterium ciconiae sp. nov., isolated from the trachea of black storks (ciconia nigra). | eight unidentified gram-positive, rod-shaped organisms were recovered from the tracheas of apparently healthy black storks (ciconia nigra) and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. based on cellular morphology and biochemical criteria the isolates were tentatively assigned to the genus corynebacterium, although three of the organisms did not appear to correspond to any recognized species. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies demonstrated that all of the isolates were phylogenetic ... | 2004 | 15545457 |
| specific status and pathogenicity of syngamid nematodes in bird species (ciconiformes, falconiformes, gruiformes) from germany. | a total of 549 birds from four orders were examined for nematodes in their respiratory system from 1995 to 2000. twelve individuals of falconiformes (n = 503), one of gruiformes (n = 22) and one of ciconiformes (n = 1), but no bird of the order strigiformes (n = 23) were infected with syngamids. the syngamid species included hovorkonema variegatum, syngamus trachea and cyathostoma trifurcatum from the trachea, bronchi and air sacs, with h. variegatum being the most prevalent. cyathostoma trifurc ... | 2007 | 17381870 |
| herpesviruses and newcastle disease viruses in white storks (ciconia ciconia). | three herpesviruses were isolated from white storks (ciconia ciconia). all isolates reacted in cross-neutralisation tests with homologous antisera and with sera prepared against a herpesvirus from a black stork (ciconia nigra). these data indicate serologic relatedness of the herpesviruses from both stork species. antisera prepared against herpesviruses from the domestic chicken (viruses of marek's disease and infectious laryngotracheitis), turkey, duck and pigeon as well as from the blue-fronte ... | 1983 | 18766791 |
| a new herpesvirus isolated from black storks (ciconia nigra). | an infectious agent was isolated from livers, spleens and bone marrow of two black storks (ciconia nigra l.) originating from the same source. pathological lesions consisted of small whitish focal areas in livers, spleens and bone marrow. the isolated agent was sensitive to chloroform and its multiplication was inhibited by 5-iodine-2-deoxy-uridine. it passed filters with a pore diameter of 220 nm and greater but not 100 nm filters. electron microscopic examination revealed numerous nucleocapsid ... | 1980 | 18770269 |
| cathaemasia hians (trematoda: cathaemasiidae) infecting black stork nestlings (ciconia nigra) from central spain. | the trematode cathaemasia hians is recorded for the first time in nestling black storks, and for the first time in black storks in spain. the parasite was found in the upper part of the oesophagus of black storks (ciconia nigra). presence of this parasite in three nestlings raises the possibility of completion of the parasite's life cycle in europe. in addition, a sub-adult bird recuperating from bone fractures was also found to be infected. c. hians is apparently absent from the more common whi ... | 2001 | 19184946 |
| molecular cytogenetics of the california condor: evolutionary and conservation implications. | evolutionary cytogenetic comparisons involved 5 species of birds (california condor, chicken, zebra finch, collared flycatcher and black stork) belonging to divergent taxonomic orders. seventy-four clones from a condor bac library containing 80 genes were mapped to condor chromosomes using fish, and 15 clones containing 16 genes were mapped to the stork z chromosome. maps for chicken and finch were derived from genome sequence databases, and that for flycatcher from the published literature. gen ... | 2009 | 20051671 |
| composition, structure and pattern of helminth assemblages associated with central european storks (ciconiidae). | the composition, structure and pattern of helminth assemblages associated with the storks (ciconiidae), ibises and spoonbills (threskiornithidae) are poorly understood. here we analyze the prevalence, intensity and diversity of the helminth component communities associated with the white stork ciconia ciconia and black stork ciconia nigra, and notice the findings of helminths on eurasian spoonbill platalea leucorodia and glossy ibis plegadis falcinellus obtained in the czech republic in years 19 ... | 2015 | 25462710 |
