| preliminary observations on the distribution, definitive hosts and possible relation with other schistosomes, of schistosoma margrebowiei, le roux, 1933 and schistosoma leiperi, le roux, 1955. | in attempting to define the south western limits of the distribution of schistosoma margrebowiei and s. leiperi and investigating their apparent limited distribution in relation to their snail hosts it was found that there was little overlap in the distribution of s. margrebowiei and s. leiperi and that of the human parasites s. haematobium and s. mansoni, and no overlap with s. mattheei within the area surveyed. it is suggested that the presence of either or both lechwe schistosomes prevented t ... | 1976 | 965705 |
| a review of the biology and transmission ecology of african bovine species of the genus schistosoma. | the present paper reviews the information available concerning the biology and transmission ecology of the african bovine species schistosoma bovis, s. mattheei, s. margrebowiei and s. leiperi. criteria for species identification (egg morphology, intermediate host spectra, definitive host-parasite relationships, etc.) are listed and the geographical distribution of the four species and factors determining the relative occurrence within their overall distributional ranges are described. s bovis a ... | 1983 | 6356670 |
| the anatomy of the omasum of some zambian game species. | the gross anatomy of the omasum of 11 different zambian game species are described. these include roan antelope, sable antelope, wildebeest, kudu, kafue lechwe, puku, reedbuck, impala, bushbuck, oribi and duiker. lamellar area and papilla density and shape are reported. | 1993 | 8129169 |
| trypanosoma brucei infection in asymptomatic greater kudus (tragelaphus strepsiceros) on a game ranch in zambia. | trypomastogotes of trypanosoma brucei were detected from 4 asymptomatic kudus (tragelaphus strepsiceros) on a game ranch located approximately 45 km north east of lusaka, zambia. blood smears examined from 14 wildlife species comprising of the impala (aepyceros melampus), kafue lechwe (kobus leche kafuensis), sable antelope (hippotragus niger), tsessebe (damaliscus lunatus), warthog (phacochoerus aethiopicus), puku (kobus vardoni), zebra (equus burchelli), waterbuck (kobus ellipsiprymnus), bushb ... | 2010 | 20333288 |
| detection of parasites and parasitic infections of free-ranging wildlife on a game ranch in zambia: a challenge for disease control. | ex-situ conservancies are expanding alternatives to livestock production in zambia albeit the lack of information on circulating infectious parasites from wildlife. therefore, 12 wildlife species were examined on a game ranch were all species were found to be infected by rhipecephalus spp. haemoparasite infections were estimated at 7.37% (n = 95) with babesia spp. detected in bushbuck (tragelaphus scriptus); anaplasma marginale in impala (aepyceros melampus) and puku (kobus vardonii) for the fir ... | 2012 | 22701163 |
| detection of babesia spp. in free-ranging pukus, kobus vardonii, on a game ranch in zambia. | babesia spp. were detected from 4 asymptomatic pukus captured on a game ranch in central zambia in october 2008. blood smears were examined in 4 species of aymptomatic free-ranging antelopes, namely the puku (kobus vordanii), reedbuck (redunca arundinum), bushbuck (tragelaphus sylvaticus), and kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros), and showed the presence of babesia parasites only in the puku. in the puku, the prevalence of babesiosis was estimated at 33.3% (n = 12), while the overall prevalence in al ... | 2011 | 22355215 |
| the stomach of the kafue lechwe (kobus leche kafuensis). | the kafue lechwe is endemic to the kafue flats area of zambia. it is semi-aquatic in habit, feeding upon grasses above and below the waterline. the volume of the lechwe rumen is 17 l in the male and 14 l in the female. it has strong and definite pillars. the interior of the rumen is papillated except in the roof area and on the pillars. the omasum has more than 70 laminae which are papillated on the reticular end. the anatomy of the lechwe stomach is similar to the stomachs of other water depend ... | 1991 | 1796782 |
| large sequence divergence of mitochondrial dna genotypes of the control region within populations of the african antelope, kob (kobus kob). | the genetic differentiation among kob populations (kobus kob) representing two recognized subspecies was examined using mitochondrial control region sequences. two distinct lineages (estimated sequence divergence of 9.8%) exhibited different geographical distributions and do not coincide with previously recognized ranges of subspecies. the presence of the two lineages was further supported with sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. one lineage was predominant in the west and southern ran ... | 2000 | 11123612 |
| territorial behavior among puku in zambia. | territorial behavior of a species of antelope, the puku, adenota vardoni (livingstone) consists of the defense by males during the mating season of relatively widely spaced territories on a "territorial ground." females wander about on this area for the purpose of mating. | 1965 | 14293227 |
