| sperm evaluation of jungle cat (felis chaus) obtained by urethral catheterization (ct) after medetomidine administration. | this study aimed to evaluate semen from jungle cat (felis chaus) by urethral catheterization (ct) after medetomidine administration that offers feasible and different approaches to obtaining good quality sperm, especially in wild felids. accordingly, this method was tested in five jungle cats. after general anesthesia with the α2-agonist medetomidine (which also stimulates semen release into the urethra) and ketamine, an abdomen ultrasound was performed to locate dilation of the first segment of ... | 2017 | 28215681 |
| retained fertilizing capability in cryopreserved feline spermatozoa. | sperm cryopreservation offers a long-term preservation of male genetic materials for future assisted reproductive technologies. however, dramatic changes in temperature during freezing and thawing injure sperm cells. while motility is essential for ai and membrane integrity is crucial for in vitro fertilization (ivf), sperm dna integrity is a common index of fertilizing capability required for ai, ivf and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). in endangered felids died unexpectedly, attempts h ... | 2017 | 27807913 |
| who's behind that mask and cape? the asian leopard cat's agouti (asip) allele likely affects coat colour phenotype in the bengal cat breed. | coat colours and patterns are highly variable in cats and are determined mainly by several genes with mendelian inheritance. a 2-bp deletion in agouti signalling protein (asip) is associated with melanism in domestic cats. bengal cats are hybrids between domestic cats and asian leopard cats (prionailurus bengalensis), and the charcoal coat colouration/pattern in bengals presents as a possible incomplete melanism. the complete coding region of asip was directly sequenced in asian leopard, domesti ... | 2014 | 25143047 |
| a molecular phylogeny of the felidae: immunological distance. | the phylogenetic distances between 34 of the 37 extant species of felidae were estimated using albumin immunological distances (aid). albumins from ten cat species were used to prepare antisera in rabbits. a consensus phylogeny was constructed from a matrix of reciprocal aid measurements using four distinct phylogenetic algorithms. a series of one-way measurements using the ten index antisera and those 24 species for which albumins were available (but antisera were not), permitted addition of th ... | 1985 | 28561961 |
| adding constraints to predation through allometric relation of scats to consumption. | a thorough understanding of mechanisms of prey consumption by carnivores and the constraints on predation help us in evaluating the role of carnivores in an ecosystem. this is crucial in developing appropriate management strategies for their conservation and mitigating human-carnivore conflict. current models on optimal foraging suggest that mammalian carnivores would profit most from killing the largest prey that they can subdue with minimal risk of injury to themselves. wild carnivore diets ar ... | 2016 | 26931378 |
| sperm quality and the morphology of cryopreserved testicular tissues recovered post-mortem from diverse wild species. | this study compared the effects of slow and fast freezing of testicular tissue of wild animals collected at post-mortem on testicular structure and testicular sperm. the testes of seven animals that had died in captivity; three felids (jungle cat, lion and leopard), two cervids (rusa deer and fea's muntjac) and two bovids (sumatran serows) were cryopreserved using slow- and fast-freezing protocols. there were greater reductions in the integrity of the sperm membrane and dna in tissues cryopreser ... | 2013 | 23872357 |
| molecular characterization of ascaridoid parasites from captive wild carnivores in china using ribosomal and mitochondrial sequences. | despite the public health importance of toxocariasis/toxascariasis, only a few species of these ascaridoid parasites from wild canine and feline carnivores have been studied at the molecular level so far. poor understanding of diversity, host distribution and the potential (zoonotic) transmission of the ascaridoid species among wild animals negatively affects their surveillance and control in natural settings. in this study, we updated previous knowledge by profiling the genetic diversity and ph ... | 2020 | 32727607 |
