| malignant catarrhal fever-like disease in barbary red deer (cervus elaphus barbarus) naturally infected with a virus resembling alcelaphine herpesvirus 2. | eight barbary red deer (cervus elaphus barbarus) developed clinical signs suggestive of malignant catarrhal fever (mcf) over a 28-day period. these animals were housed outdoors with four other species of ruminants. affected red deer had lethargy, ocular signs, and nasal discharge and were euthanatized within 48 h. lesions included ulcers of the muzzle, lips, and oral cavity associated with infiltrates of neutrophils and lymphocytes. serologically, six of seven red deer tested during the outbreak ... | 2002 | 12202582 |
| robustostrongylus aferensis gen. nov. et sp. nov. (nematoda: trichostrongyloidea) in kob (kobus kob) and hartebeest (alcelaphus buselaphus jacksoni) (artiodactyla) from sub-saharan africa, with further ruminations on the ostertagiinae. | abomasal nematodes (ostertagiinae: trichostrongyloidea), representing a previously unrecognized genus and species, were discovered in kob (kobus kob) and kongoni (hartebeest) (alcelaphus buselaphus jacksoni) from uganda during surveys of ungulate parasites in the 1960s. robustostrongylus aferensis gen. nov. et sp. nov. is characterized by a ventriculus-like, bilobed valve at the junction of the esophagus and intestine, a synlophe with unusually robust ridges, cervical papillae and excretory pore ... | 2009 | 19228080 |
| seasonal reproductive characteristics of female and male jackson's hartebeest (alcelaphus buselaphus jacksoni). | this project examined reproductive characteristics of female and male jackson's hartebeest (alcelaphus buselaphus jacksoni), a subspecies that originates in africa and is currently a model for studies of endangered hartebeest subspecies. progestagen concentrations were measured in fecal samples collected thrice weekly for 1 year from three non-pregnant, adult females, in the northern hemisphere (31 degrees 37'n, 81 degrees 09'w). when their ovaries were active, the females exhibited regular lute ... | 2008 | 18440627 |
