| 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 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 |
| helminths and bot fly larvae of wild ungulates on a game ranch in central province, zambia. | helminths and bot fly larvae were collected from 11 wild ungulate species on a game ranch in the central province of zambia. new host-parasite records are: calicophoron sp. from defassa waterbuck kobus ellipsiprymnus defassa and kafue lechwe kobus leche kafuensis; avitellina centripunctata, gaigeria pachyscelis and gedoelstia cristata from tsessebe damaliscus lunatus lunatus; cooperia rotundispiculum from common reedbuck redunca arundinum; dictyocaulus filaria from greater kudu tragelaphus strep ... | 1998 | 9741058 |

| dna barcoding as a tool for species identification in three forensic wildlife cases in south africa. | poaching of wildlife animals for subsistence and commercial purposes has lead to population declines in africa. in forensic cases, a need exists to identify the species of origin of carcasses, meat or blood. in the study presented here, the mitochondrial coi gene was sequenced to determine the species of unknown samples in three suspect south african forensic wildlife cases. in two cases the unknown samples were identified as originating from domestic cattle (bos taurus) and in the third case th ... | 2011 | 21277124 |
| milk composition of free-ranging red hartebeest, giraffe, southern reedbuck and warthog and a phylogenetic comparison of the milk of african artiodactyla. | the composition of major nutrients and fatty acids of the milk of three species, red hartebeest, southern reedbuck and warthog, and milk fatty acids of giraffe, that have not been published before, are reported, and together with the same parameters of 11 species previously published, were incorporated in a phylogenetic comparison. unique properties of milk composition have been observed. southern reedbuck milk seems to have a complex casein composition, similar to that of sheep. milk compositio ... | 2017 | 27880889 |
