| a 12-month survey of the gastro-intestinal helminths of antelopes, gazelles and giraffids kept at two zoos in belgium. | faecal egg count patterns and clinical signs associated with gastro-intestinal (gi) nematodes of 107 zoo ruminants were monitored at fortnightly intervals for 1 year. the ruminants in this study were kept under different husbandry conditions at two sites of the royal zoological society of antwerp, the antwerp zoo and the animal park planckendael. artiodactylids involved were arabian oryx (oryx leucoryx), scimitar-horned oryx (oryx dammah), bongos (tragelaphus euryceros isaaci), sitatungas (trage ... | 2004 | 15710531 |
| field evaluation of the efficacy of fenbendazole in captive wild ruminants. | the efficacy of in-feed fenbendazole at a dose rate of 7.5 mg/kg bodyweight for three consecutive days was assessed in five arabian oryx (oryx leucoryx), six scimitar-horned oryx (oryx dammah), 14 slender-horned gazelles (gazella leptoceros), eight soay sheep (ovis aries aries soay), 13 alpine ibex (capra ibex ibex), six red deer (cervus elaphus hippelaphus) and 11 nelson's elk (cervus elaphus nelsoni) kept in five herds in a zoo. the efficacy was assessed by means of repeated faecal egg count r ... | 2005 | 16272545 |
| evaluation of three strategic parasite control programs in captive wild ruminants. | parasite control in wild ruminants is based mainly on anthelmintics. the objective of the present study was to evaluate three parasite control programs in seven herds of captive wild ruminants in 3 consecutive years. in the first year, a biannual spring-summer treatment regime with fenbendazole at 7.5 mg/kg body weight p.o. for 3 days was applied. the next year, an early-season treatment program with three administrations of fenbendazole at the same dosage at 3-wk intervals was used. in the thir ... | 2006 | 17312807 |
| data on phylogenetic analyses of gazelles (genus gazella) based on mitochondrial and nuclear intron markers. | the data provided is related to the article "phylogenetic analyses of gazelles reveal repeated transitions of key ecological traits and provide novel insights into the origin of the genus gazella" [1]. the data is based on 48 tissue samples of all nine extant species of the genus gazella, namely gazella gazella, gazella arabica, gazella bennettii, gazella cuvieri, gazella dorcas, gazella leptoceros, gazella marica, gazella spekei, and gazella subgutturosa and four related taxa (saiga tatarica, a ... | 2016 | 27054158 |
| nanger, eudorcas, gazella, and antilope form a well-supported chromosomal clade within antilopini (bovidae, cetartiodactyla). | the evolutionary clade comprising nanger, eudorcas, gazella, and antilope, defined by an x;bta5 translocation, is noteworthy for the many autosomal robertsonian fusions that have driven the chromosome number variation from 2n = 30 observed in antilope cervicapra, to the 2n = 58 in present eudorcas thomsoni and eudorcas rufifrons. this work reports the phylogenetic relationships within the antilopini using comprehensive cytogenetic data from a. cervicapra, gazella leptoceros, nanger dama ruficoll ... | 2015 | 25416455 |
| molecular insights into x;bta5 chromosome rearrangements in the tribe antilopini (bovidae). | for a clade that includes antilope, gazella,nanger and eudorcas (antilopinae), x;bta5 translocation is a synapomorphy. using a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) probes and polymerase chain reaction techniques, we provide (i) the first insight into the x;bta5 architecture which differs in the species under study: antilope cervicapra (genus antilope), gazella leptoceros (genus gazella) and nanger dama ruficollis (genus nanger), (ii) determination of interstitial satellite dn ... | 2012 | 22327909 |
| retrospective evaluation of histopathologic findings in captive gazelle species. | capturing disease trends among different species has indisputable value to both veterinary clinicians and zoo managers for improving the welfare and management of zoo species. the causes of mortality for eight species of gazelle (addra gazelle, nanger dama; dorcas gazelle, gazella dorcas; grant's gazelle, nanger granti; sand gazelle, gazella leptoceros; saudi goitered gazelle, gazella subgutturosa; soemmerring's gazelle, nanger soemmerringii; thomson's gazelle, eudorcas thomsonii; and speke's ga ... | 2016 | 27010271 |
| slender-horned gazelle (gazella leptoceros), a new host for tricholipeurus balanicus (phthiraptera: ischnocera: trichodectidae). | this study was performed to provide information on tricholipeurus balanicus (werneck 1938) detected on slender-horned gazelles (gazella leptoceros) (cuvier 1842). four slender-horned gazelles kept in the el hamma zoological garden in algeria were examined for lice in april 2015. three of the four gazelles were infested with lice; of 37 lice collected from the infested animals, 14 were females, 16 were males, and 7 were nymphs. lice were mainly found on the back and hind legs of the gazelles. the ... | 2016 | 28091391 |
| meiotic behaviour of evolutionary sex-autosome translocations in bovidae. | the recurrent occurrence of sex-autosome translocations during mammalian evolution suggests common mechanisms enabling a precise control of meiotic synapsis, recombination and inactivation of sex chromosomes. we used immunofluorescence and fish to study the meiotic behaviour of sex chromosomes in six species of bovidae with evolutionary sex-autosome translocations (tragelaphus strepsiceros, taurotragus oryx, tragelaphus imberbis, tragelaphus spekii, gazella leptoceros and nanger dama ruficollis) ... | 2016 | 27136937 |
