| some avian and mammalian hosts of amblyomma hebraeum and amblyomma marmoreum (acari: ixodidae). | large numbers of birds, wild mammals and domestic stock from a variety of localities within the republic of south africa were examined for infestation with the ixodid ticks amblyomma hebraeum and amblyomma marmoreum. every warthog (phacochoerus aethiopicus), burchell's zebra (equus burchelli), impala (aepyceros melampus) and kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros) from the kruger national park in the north-eastern transvaal lowveld was infested with a. hebraeum. in the eastern cape province every helmet ... | 1987 | 3329327 |
| parasites of domestic and wild animals in south africa. xxi. arthropod parasites of vaal ribbok, bontebok and scrub hares in the western cape province. | vaal ribbok (pelea capreolus), bontebok (damaliscus dorcas dorcas) and scrub hares (lepus saxatilis) were slaughtered in the bontebok national park at regular intervals and examined for arthropod parasites. twelve species of ixodid ticks were recovered; the antelope each harboured 9 species and the hares 11. rhipicephalus nitens was the most prevalent and most abundant tick. the vaal ribbok also harboured large numbers of ixodes pilosus and the bontebok fairly large numbers of rhipicephalus glab ... | 1986 | 3796942 |
| haemonchus contortus from the vaal ribbok, pelea capreolus, and the bontebok, damaliscus dorcas dorcas, in the bontebok national park. | during a survey of the parasites of antelope in the bontebok national park, swellendam, cape province, specimens of haemonchus contortus with exceptionally long spicules were recovered from 5 out of 8 bontebok, damaliscus dorcas dorcas, and 3 out of 5 vaal ribbok, pelea capreolus, but not from 4 springbok, antidorcas marsupialis. typically, h. contortus has spicules 0,466 +/- 0,085 mm long, but those recovered from vaal ribbok had spicules 0,581 +/- 0,02 mm long and were recovered in large numbe ... | 1983 | 6646659 |
| helminth and arthropod parasites of vaal ribbok, pelea capreolus, in the western cape province. | five vaal ribbok, culled in the bontebok national park during december 1979, were examined for helminth and arthropod parasites. ten nematode species, a louse and 2 tick species were recovered and there was also evidence of previous infestation by the larvae of 2 oestrid flies. the parasite burdens of the vaal ribbok are compared with those of sympatric bontebok and springbok culled at the same time. | 1982 | 7177592 |
| parasites of south african wildlife. xvi. helminths of some antelope species from the eastern and western cape provinces. | the numbers and species of helminths recovered from one black wildebeest, connochaetes gnou, three eland, taurotragus oryx, 18 mountain reedbuck, redunca fulvorufula, one red hartebeest, aicelaphus buselaphus and two springbok, antidorcas marsupialis, in the mountain zebra national park, eastern cape province; two black wildebeest, two grey rhebuck, pelea capreolus, two mountain reedbuck and four springbok in the karoo national park, western cape province; two bontebok, damaliscus pygargus dorca ... | 2000 | 10843320 |
| haemonchus horaki n. sp. (nematoda: trichostrongyloidea) from the grey rhebuck pelea capreolus in south africa. | in the course of a revision of species of haemonchus cobb, 1898 (nematoda), commonly referred to as large stomach worms and significant pathogens of ruminants, a new species was discovered in the grey rhebuck pelea capreolus, and the bontebok damaliscus pygarthus, in south africa. the new species, haemonchus horaki, was previously reported as a long-spicule form of h. contortus (rudolphi, 1803) ransom, 1911. the new species, compared with h. contortus, can be distinguished by significantly longe ... | 2001 | 11695372 |
| parasites of south african wildlife. xvii. ostertagia triquetra n. sp. (nematoda: trichostrongylina) from the grey rhebuck, pelea capreolus (forster, 1790). | re-examination of teladorsagia hamata (mönnig, 1932) durette-desset, 1989 reported from grey rhebuck, pelea capreolus (forster, 1790) proved it to be a new species of ostertagi ransom, 1907. the new species, for which the name ostertagia triquetra n. sp. is proposed, differs from teladorsagia hamata in the configuration of the bursal rays (2-1-2 in the former, 2-2-1 in the latter), and in that the interno-dorsal branch of the spicules bears a process that is triangular and convex in the new spec ... | 2003 | 12825679 |
| systemic disease in vaal rhebok (pelea capreolus) caused by mycoplasmas in the mycoides cluster. | in the winter of 2002, an outbreak of mycoplasma infection in vaal rhebok (pelea capreolus) originating from south africa occurred 15 weeks after their arrival in san diego, calif. three rhebok developed inappetence, weight loss, lethargy, signs related to pulmonary or arthral dysfunction, and sepsis. all three rhebok died or were euthanized. primary postmortem findings were erosive tracheitis, pleuropneumonia, regional cellulitis, and necrotizing lymphadenitis. mycoplasmas were detected in nume ... | 2005 | 15750104 |
| helminths in sympatric populations of mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula) and gray rhebok (pelea capreolus) in south africa. | helminths of mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula fulvorufula) and gray rhebok (pelea capreolus) were investigated in south africa between june 1999 and february 2002. forty-one mountain reedbuck were culled at sterkfontein dam nature reserve over 8 different periods, and 25 mountain reedbuck were culled at tussen die riviere nature reserve over 3 different periods. a total of 17 kinds of helminths were found at the 2 sites, including 15 nematodes, 1 trematode, and 1 cestode. at sterkfontein, ... | 2005 | 17089756 |
| phylogeny and vicariant speciation of the grey rhebok, pelea capreolus. | a south african endemic antelope, the grey rhebok (pelea capreolus), has long been an evolutionary enigma in bovid systematics-its phylogenetic intractability attributed to its curious combination of derived and primitive morphological attributes and the consequences of a rapid radiation. by using a combination of dna sequences, chromosomal characteristics and quantitative and qualitative morphological features we show that the species is a sister taxon to a clade that comprises the waterbuck, r ... | 2013 | 24281547 |
| paracooperioides peleae gen. et sp. n. (nematoda: trichostrongylidae) from the vaal ribbok, pelea capreolus (forster, 1790). | a new genus and species of trichostrongylid nematode, paracooperioides peleae, was collected from the small intestines of vaal ribbok, pelea capreolus (forster, 1790), from the bontebok national park, swellendam, cape province. these nematodes are small and slender with a small cephalic inflation. the cuticle bears numerous transverse striations which are more pronounced anteriorly. the dorsal ray is long and is similar to that of gazellostrongylus yeh, 1956, and cooperioides hepaticae ortlepp, ... | 1981 | 7335332 |
| chemical immobilization of rhebok (pelea capreolus) with carfentanil-xylazine or etorphine-xylazine. | twelve adult rhebok (pelea capreolus) were immobilized using a combination of 0.4 mg/kg xylazine and either 0.01 mg/kg of carfentanil (n = 6) or 0.01 mg/kg etorphine (n = 6), delivered i.m. using a remote injection system. induction and recovery times, heart rate, respiratory rate, rectal temperature, oxygen saturation, end-tidal co2 (etco2), anesthetic depth, indirect blood pressure, and arterial blood gases were recorded. rhebok were not intubated but nasal oxygen was administered. forty minut ... | 2004 | 15526885 |
