| lymphoproliferation in captive wild ruminants affected with malignant catarrhal fever: 25 cases (1977-1985). | the severity of lymphoproliferative disease associated with malignant catarrhal fever was extremely variable among 25 animals at the san diego wild animal park. severe lymphoproliferative disease was seen in 3 of 10 formosan sika deer (cervus nippon taiouanus), 3 of 6 indian axis deer (cervus a axis), 3 of 6 barasingha deer (cervus d duvauceli), and 1 of 3 nilgai (boselaphus tragocamelus). two sika deer and 2 barasingha deer had lesions morphologically indistinguishable from lymphosarcoma. our f ... | 1990 | 2329087 |
| normal haematological values of axis deer (axis axis), père david's deer (elaphurus davidianus) and barasingha (cervus duvauceli). | full blood counts and fibrinogen estimations were carried out on a number of clinically normal adult axis deer (axis axis), père david's deer (elaphus davidianus) and barasingha (cervus duvauceli). apart from the finding of higher total red cell counts and a lower mean red cell volume in axis deer than in père david's deer and barasingha, there was little interspecies variation. some individual père david's deer showed eosinophilia, thought to be associated with subclinical intestinal nematode i ... | 1985 | 4070791 |
| endemic malignant catarrhal fever at the san diego wild animal park. | malignant catarrhal fever was diagnosed in an indian gaur (bos gaurus gaurus), a barasingha deer, (cervus duvauceli duvauceli), and four javan banteng (bos javanicus javanicus) at the san diego wild animal park between july, 1976 and january, 1979. three of the four banteng lived adjacent to an exhibit in which wildebeast were born at 29.68 and 82 days prior to the banteng's deaths. the disease was characterized by pyrexia, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, dyspnea and rhinitis. mortality was 100%. post ... | 1980 | 7411750 |
| analysis of the evolutionarily conserved repeat motifs in the genome of the highly endangered central indian swamp deer cervus duvauceli branderi. | we have analyzed the genome of central indian swamp deer cervus duvauceli branderi, an inhabitant of the kanha national park, a wildlife conservatory in central india, with a view to provide a genetic basis for their extinction. evolutionarily conserved repeat sequence motifs (gata)3.75, ta(gata)4, (gaca)3.75, (tgg)6 and a set of mouse beta-actin primers were used to uncover the sequence variation within and between related species by employing techniques of hybridization and ap-pcr amplificatio ... | 1998 | 9858766 |

| gamma herpesvirus carrier status of captive artiodactyls. | between 1998 and 2000, 103 individuals of 19 species of the order artiodactyla at whipsnade wild animal park were tested for evidence of infection with gamma herpesviruses in order to distinguish between species which are susceptible to malignant catarrhal fever (mcf), caused by alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (alhv-1) of wildebeest (connochaetes sp.) or ovine herpesvirus-2 (ovhv-2) of domestic sheep, and species which carry related viruses sub-clinically. gamma herpesvirus dna was detected in the kno ... | 2002 | 12208112 |
| mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies of cervidae (mammalia, ruminantia): systematics, morphology, and biogeography. | the family cervidae includes 40 species of deer distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, as well as in south america and southeast asia. here, we examine the phylogeny of this family by analyzing two mitochondrial protein-coding genes and two nuclear introns for 25 species of deer representing most of the taxonomic diversity of the family. our results provide strong support for intergeneric relationships. to reconcile taxonomy and phylogeny, we propose a new classification where the famil ... | 2006 | 16584894 |
| common occurrence of a unique cryptosporidium ryanae variant in zebu cattle and water buffaloes in the buffer zone of the chitwan national park, nepal. | there are very few studies on the diversity and public health significance of cryptosporidium species in zebu cattle and water buffaloes in developing countries. in this study, pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism and dna sequence analyses of the small-subunit (ssu) rrna gene were used to genotype cryptosporidium specimens from 12 zebu cattle calves, 16 water buffalo calves, and four swamp deer (cervus duvaucelii) collected from the buffer zone of the chitwan national park, nepal. all cr ... | 2011 | 21996006 |
| genetic characterization of wild swamp deer populations: ex situ conservation and forensics implications. | swamp deer (rucervus duvaucelii) is an endemic, scheduled i species under the wildlife (protection) act 1972, india. according to variations in antler size, it has been classified into three subspecies, namely western (r. duvaucelii duvaucelii), central (r. duvaucelii branderi), and eastern (r. duvaucelii ranjitsinhii). for planning effective ex situ and in situ conservation of a wide-ranging species in different bioclimatic regions and in wildlife forensic, the use of genetic characterization i ... | 2017 | 27782757 |
| first detection and molecular identification of the zoonotic anaplasma capra in deer in france. | cervids are known to be reservoirs of zoonotic bacteria transmitted by ticks. this study aimed to identify the anaplasma species carried by captive red deer and swamp deer in a wild fauna reserve in france. blood from 59 red deer and 7 swamp deer was collected and analyzed over a period of two years. a semi-nested pcr targeting the 23s rrna was performed to detect and characterize anaplasma spp. and determine the presence of zoonotic species. anaplasma phagocytophilum was identified in 14/59 red ... | 2019 | 31276519 |
| rapid molecular assays for species and sex identification of swamp deer and other coexisting cervids in human-dominated landscapes of the terai region and upper gangetic plains, northern india: implications in understanding species distribution and population parameters. | burgeoning pressures of habitat loss is a major cause of herbivore decline across india, forcing them to coexist with humans in non-protected areas. their conservation in such landscapes is challenging due to paucity of ecological and demographic information. the northern subspecies of swamp deer, rucervus duvaucelii duvaucelii, is one such herbivore that lives across human dominated landscapes in terai region and upper gangetic plains of north india. here, we describe species-specific molecular ... | 2019 | 31204725 |
| first records of preorbital gland opening in rare wild barasingha (rucervus duvaucelii) in social contexts may help to explain this phenomenon in cervids. | the opening of the preorbital gland in deer serves as a visual communication and has been linked to a wide variety of behavioural situations. as we reported recently, all previous long-term studies on preorbital gland opening were carried out on only one species, whereas case reports on six other rarely studied species have shown associations with different behaviours, thus greatly increasing our overall understanding of the real function of this gland in animal visual communication. here, we re ... | 2015 | 26200392 |
| identification of swamp deer (cervus duvauceli duvauceli cuvier) potential habitat in jhilmil jheel conservation reserve, uttarakhand, india using multi-criteria analysis. | the present study aims to identify the potential habitat for swamp deer (cervus duvauceli duvauceli cuvier) in jhilmil jheel conservation reserve in the uttarakhand province of india using multi-criteria analysis. the study area represents one of the last remnant habitats of the flagship species, the swamp deer in uttarakhand, which is considered as vulnerable. the study showed that only 6.08% of the study area (225 km(2)) was highly suitable to suitable for the swamp deer. an area of 135.52 km( ... | 2012 | 22427003 |
| sarcocystosis in a barasingha deer (cervus duvauceli branderi). | an adult female hard-ground swamp deer (barasingha), cervus duvauceli branderi, was found dead of unknown cause in kanha national park. a necropsy of this animal failed to reveal any significant gross lesions. however, histopathologic examination revealed mature sarcocysts of sarcocystis in the cardiac muscles. the morphology of the sarcocysts was similar to that of different species of sarcocystis from wild and domestic animals. final identification of sarcocystis in this case could not be made ... | 1999 | 10572876 |
