| a survey on the faunal diversity of savar upazila, dhaka, bangladesh. | a survey was conducted during january to december 2006 to assess the status of faunal diversity of savar upazila, dhaka, bangladesh. a total of 30 species of birds, 24 species of winter birds, 7 species of reptiles, 3 species of amphibians, 15 species of mammalians and 32 species of fishes were recorded. relative abundance of those species were determined. of the birds, house sparrow (passer domesticus) was abundant while blyth's kingfisher (alcedo hercules), rock eagle owl (bubo bengalensis), h ... | 2008 | 18817158 |
| a new species of australotaenia (cestoda: proteocephalidea) from a snake in cambodia: host switching or postcyclic parasitism in a distant region? | australotaenia de chambrier et de chambrier, 2010 has been proposed to accommodate two species of proteocephalidean cestodes from hylid frogs (litoria spp.) in australia. recently, apparently congeneric cestode, for which the name a. bunthangi sp. n. is proposed, was found in the homalopsid snake enhydris enhydris (schneider) (serpentes: homalopsidae) from south-east asia (cambodia). this finding indicates a much wider range of definitive hosts of species of this genus, i.e. amphibians and repti ... | 2012 | 23327009 |
| karyological studies on six species of indian snakes (colubridae: reptilia). | detailed chromosomal analyses have been carried on six species of snakes, viz. ahaetulla nasutus, chrysopelea ornata, dendrelaphis ahaetulla, xenochrophis piscator, enhydris enhydris and acrochordus granulatus. on the basis of these studies, evidence is presented to show that inversions, and in some instances centric fissions and translocations, have played an important role in bringing about structural repatterning in this group, and that the subfamily acrochordinae is the most primitive, so fa ... | 1980 | 7428439 |
| effects of vitamin d3 administration on the levels of serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus in the smooth water snake, enhydris enhydris (schneider). | effect of vitamin d3 administration (12,000 iu/100 g body wt.) on levels of serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels in the smooth water snake, enhydris enhydris was investigated. hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia was observed from day one till the end of the experiment (day 14). maximum values were recorded on the 4th day followed by a steady decline. | 1995 | 7660831 |
| revision of acanthotaenia von linstow, 1903 (cestoda: proteocephalidae), parasites of monitors (varanus spp.), based on morphological and molecular data. | a morphological and molecular phylogenetic study of proteocephalid tapeworms of the genus acanthotaenia von linstow, 1903, parasites of monitors (varanidae), was carried out. the type species, a. shipleyi von linstow, 1903, which was originally described based on an immature specimen from sri lanka, is redescribed based on new material from the type host, varanus salvator, in sri lanka, malaysia, and vietnam, and its neotype is designated. in addition, acanthotaenia susanae n. sp. is described f ... | 2019 | 31065829 |
