| 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 |
| rhipicephalus zambeziensis sp. nov., a new tick from eastern and southern africa, together with a redescription of rhipicephalus appendiculatus neumann, 1901 (acarina, ixodidae). | all stages of rhipicephalus zambeziensis sp. nov. are described from laboratory-reared specimens of a strain originating from cattle near west nicholson, gwanda district, zimbabwe. the redescription of all stages of rhipicephalus appendiculatus is based primarily on laboratory-reared specimens of a strain originating from a mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula), loskop dam nature reserve, transvaal, republic of south africa. the differences between these 2 species are discussed briefly. detail ... | 1981 | 7312310 |
| basic haematological values in antelopes--iii. the reduncinae and the antelopinae. | basic haematological values were measured in 50 individuals of five species falling under the subfamily reduncinae, including the mountain reedbuck (reduncula fulvorufula), the eastern waterback (kobus ellipsiprymnus ellipsiprymnus), the defassa waterbuck (kobus ellipsipyrmnus defassa), the lechwe waterbuck (kobus leche) and the lady gray's waterbuck (kobus megaceros) and in 45 animals of three species of the subfamily antelopinae, including the springbok (antidorcas marsupialis), the grant's ga ... | 1984 | 6149055 |
| some wild hosts of the karoo paralysis tick, ixodes rubicundus neumann, 1904 (acari: ixodidae). | a variety of mammal and bird species in the mountain zebra national park, eastern cape province, were examined for ixodes rubicundus. in addition, caracal (felis caracal) from the park and its vicinity as well as from the graaff-reinet region of the karoo were examined. amongst the animals collected, the red rock rabbit (pronolagus rupestris) was a preferred host of the immature stages of the tick. caracal were moderately good hosts of these stages and, with mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvoruful ... | 1987 | 3587926 |
| ixodes (afrixodes) neitzi, n. sp. (acarina: ixodidae) from the mountain reedbuck in south africa. | ixodes (afrixodes) neitzi n. sp. is described from females and males collected from the mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula) at loskop dam nature reserve, transvaal, republic of south africa. information is provided to distinguish this new species from other closely related ixodes species that occur in the ethiopian region. its predilection sites are noted and the area in which it occurs is described briefly. | 1977 | 614531 |
| ticks (acari: ixodidae) collected from animals in three western, semi-arid nature reserves in south africa. | the objective of this study was to make an inventory of the ixodid tick species infesting wild animals in three western, semi-arid nature reserves in south africa. to this end 22 animals in the kgalagadi transfrontier park, 10 in the west coast national park and 16 in the karoo national park were examined. fourteen tick species were recovered, of which hyalomma truncatum, rhipicephalus exophthalmos and rhipicephalus glabroscutatum were each present in two reserves and the remainder only in one. ... | 2007 | 17708155 |
| karyotype, centric fusion polymorphism and chromosomal aberrations in captive-born mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula). | chromosomes of fourteen captive-born mountain reedbucks (redunca fulvorufula) have been investigated. the diploid chromosome number was 2n = 56 (fn = 60). the mountain reedbuck karyotype consists of 26 acrocentric and two biarmed chromosome pairs resulting from two centric fusions involving chromosomes 2 and 25, and 6 and 10, respectively. in some animals, 57 chromosomes were detected. variation in the diploid number was found to be due to polymorphism for the centric fusion 6;10. both x and y c ... | 2007 | 17431324 |
| parasites of south african wildlife. xviii. cooperia pigachei n. sp. (nematoda: cooperiidae) from the mountain reedbuck, redunca fulvorufula (afzelius, 1815). | a new species of cooperia, for which the name cooperia pigachei n. sp. is proposed, was recovered from a mountain reedbuck, redunca fulvorufula, from the sterkfontein dam nature reserve, free state province, and is described and illustrated. it is close to cooperia neitzi mönnig, 1932 and the south african race of cooperia rotundispiculum in having more than 14 longitudinal cuticular ridges and in that the lateral cervical synlophe is of the closed type. the new species differs from all the othe ... | 2004 | 15580764 |

| strobiloestrus sp. larvae in merino sheep. | seventeen merino sheep in the springbokfontein region of the orange free state were found to harbour strobiloestrus sp. larvae in cutaneous nodules in the flank and rump regions of their bodies. the life cycle, however, could apparently not be completed in the sheep as the larvae left the nodules without developing further. mountain reedbuck, running with the sheep, were also infested and were a probable source of infestation for the sheep. | 1983 | 6655658 |

| blood chemical and electrolyte concentrations in the mountain reedbuck redunca fulvorufula. | concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, inorganic phosphorus, total magnesium, total calcium, iron, urea, creatinine, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (alp), alanine transaminase (alt), lactate dehydrogenase (ld), creatine kinase (ck), gamma-glutamyltransferase (ggt) and aspartate transaminase (ast) were determined in serum specimens collected from 53 free-ranging mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula) during live capture using nets. considerable variations i ... | 1987 | 3508206 |
| sex and season-related differences of basic haematological values in the mountain reedbuck (reduncula fulvorufula). | 1. basic haematological values in the peripheral blood of four male and 13 female mountain reedbucks (reduncula fulvorufula) have been repeatedly estimated. 2. comparing these results for both sexes, we noted pronouncedly lower haematocrit values and haemoglobin contents in females (statistical significance less than or greater than 1%). in the white blood cells only an increased proportion of neutrophils in females was apparent. 3. we have been unable to find seasonal related differences in the ... | 1991 | 1673375 |
| insights into the skeletal muscle characteristics of three southern african antelope species. | skeletal muscle fibre type, cross-sectional area (csa), maximum enzyme capacities and fibre oxidative capacities were investigated in three southern african antelope species. muscle samples from blesbok (damaliscus pygargus phillipsi), mountain reedbuck (redunca fulvorufula) and greater kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros) were collected post mortem from the vastus lateralis and analysed for myosin heavy chain (mhc) isoform content, citrate synthase (cs), 3-hydroxyacyl co a dehydrogenase (3-had), pho ... | 2014 | 25326514 |
| wild antelope skeletal muscle antioxidant enzyme activities do not correlate with muscle fibre type or oxidative metabolism. | wild antelope are some of the fastest land animals in the world, presenting with high oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscle metabolism. however, no study has investigated their muscle antioxidant capacity, and may assist in understanding their physical ability and certain pathophysiological manifestations, such as capture myopathy. therefore, the primary aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activities superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat) and glutathione reductase (gr), as ... | 2020 | 31862242 |
