| cryptococcus neoformans in fecal matter of birds kept in cages--control of cr. neoformans habitats. | the occurrence of cryptococcosis in predamaged persons in whom the fecal matter of caged birds had been suspected as the source of infection has led to the present investigation. in the excreta of only four out of a total of 142 bird species kept by the berlin zoological gardens, cryptococcus neoformans could be demonstrated with the aid of guizotia abyssinica creatinine agar: twany frogmouth (podargus strigoides, g. eulenschwalm); palm cockatoo (probosciger aterrimus, g. arakakadu); military ma ... | 1984 | 6377755 |
| diabetes mellitus concurrent with hepatic haemosiderosis in two macaws (ara severa, ara militaris). | diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in a 5-year-old male chestnut-fronted macaw (ara severa) and an 8-year-old female military macaw (ara militaris) based on persistent hyperglycaemia and glucosuria. hepatic biopsies showed marked hepatic haemosiderosis, while pancreatic biopsies showed no inflammatory lesions. repeatable and titratable responses to bovine or porcine protamine zinc insulin were recorded in both patients, who were followed up for more than 2 years. in addition, iron-elimination thera ... | 2007 | 17620181 |

| scanning electron microscopic study on the tongues of seven avian species. | the dorsal lingual surface of the grey crowned crane (balearica regulorum), american flamingo (phoenicopterus rubber), great egret (ardea alba), mallard (anas platyrhynchos), himalayan monal (lophophorus impejanus), black-necked stilt (himantopus mexicanus) and green macaw (ara militaris) were examined by scanning electron microscopy. in the grey crowned crane, the surface of the lingual apex was relatively rough. many openings of the lingual glands in both lateral regions of the lingual body we ... | 2016 | 27904021 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of blue-and-yellow macaw (ara ararauna): the species morphologically similar to blue-throated macaw (ara glaucogularis). | six genera of the arini tribe form morphologically diverse group termed as macaws. the presence of bare facial area distinguishes them from other members of the tribe. genera and species of macaw group differ in pattern of this bare skin as well as in body size. the genus ara contains eight extant species. two of them are classified as medium-sized macaws and other six species are classified as large macaws. based on morphological similarities and differences, large macaw species can be segregat ... | 2017 | 26714066 |
| comparison of calculated radiation delivery versus actual radiation delivery in military macaws (ara militaris). | the skin and oral cavity are common sites of neoplasia in avian species. radiation therapy has been described for the treatment of these tumors in birds; however, its observed effectiveness has been variable. one possible explanation for this variability when radiation is used to treat the head is the unique anatomy of the avian skull, which contains an elaborate set of sinuses not found in mammalian species. to compare a calculated dose of radiation intended to be administered and the actual am ... | 2016 | 27088738 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of military macaw (ara militaris): its comparison with mitogenomes of two other ara species. | the military macaw is one of the eight species of the genus ara. the genus is one of six genera, which form morphologically diverse group termed as macaws. parrots of this group differ in body size on demand of the genus and species. six of ara species are classified as large macaws. based on morphological similarities and differences, these species can be segregated into three pairs according to their plumage coloration. representative mitochondrial genomes were sequenced only for a. glaucogula ... | 2016 | 25703844 |
| molecular sexing of monomorphic endangered ara birds. | survival of most endangered birds may depend on breeding programs where sex identification plays an important role. molecular sexing has shown to be a rapid and safe procedure. in this work we established sex identification of monomorphic endangered ara birds using a chromosome w-linked dna marker, the chromo-helicase-dna-binding 1 (chd) gene. most birds have two chd sex-linked genes, one w-linked (chd-w) and one z-linked (chd-z). these markers were characterized from ara militaris and gender se ... | 2002 | 12115933 |

| cuicatec ethnozoology: traditional knowledge, use, and management of fauna by people of san lorenzo pápalo, oaxaca, mexico. | the tehuacán-cuicatlán valley is a region of outstanding biocultural diversity, harboring eight indigenous ethnic groups and a remarkable biodiversity in a territory 10,000 km2 extent. ethnobotanical studies of the region are among the most complete in mexico; contrarily, ethnozoological studies are still limited. but information on both flora and fauna use and management is relevant for understanding local cultural and ecological issues, and for planning integral strategies of biodiversity cons ... | 2019 | 31775811 |
