| contribution to the knowledge of helminthofauna of wild mammals of somalia. | within a survey of parasitic infections in wild mammals of somalia, during the first semester of 1983 and the second of 1984, endoparasites were collected from 11 host species: gazella soemmeringi, gazella spekei, madoqua saltiana, phacochoerus aethiopicus, xerus rutilus, lepus sp., genetta genetta, herpestes (galerella) sanguineus, felis sylvestris libyca, felis caracal, canis mesomelas. a total of 22 species of helminths (20 nematode and 2 metacestode species) were identified. lepus sp. is a n ... | 1996 | 9257339 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| digesta kinetics in gazelles in comparison to other ruminants: evidence for taxon-specific rumen fluid throughput to adjust digesta washing to the natural diet. | digesta flow plays an important role in ruminant digestive physiology. we measured the mean retention time (mrt) of a solute and a particle marker in the gastrointestinal tract (git) and the reticulorumen (rr) of five gazelles and one dikdik species. species-specific differences were independent from body mass (bm) or food intake. comparative evaluations (including up to 31 other ruminant species) indicate that mrt git relate positively to bm, and are less related to feeding type (the percentage ... | 2015 | 25637787 |
| clotting profiles and selected hematology of captive speke's gazelles (gazella spekei). | manual restraint and jugular venipuncture were used to obtain blood for hematology and coagulation tests for 18 captive speke's gazelles (gazella spekei). the hematocrit and hemoglobin values were slightly higher in speke's gazelles than in domestic ruminants. the speke's gazelles had a mean prothrombin time of 15.1 sec and a mean activated partial thromboplastin time of 24.2 sec. the pregnant female speke's gazelles had shorter activated partial thromboplastin times than the males, but the diff ... | 2006 | 17312817 |
| hypophosphatemia associated with hypovitaminosis-d in speke's gazelles (gazella spekei). | two juvenile male speke's gazelles (gazella spekei) at the st. louis zoo showed poor body condition, slowed growth, hunched stance, rough hair coat, and profound hypophosphatemia. the first gazelle was treated with parenteral phosphorous supplements but continued to deteriorate clinically and was euthanatized. the second gazelle had serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d levels of 0 nmol/l and was treated with i.m. injections of vitamin d. it died shortly after starting therapy. the only significant necropsy ... | 2001 | 12785689 |
| dna fingerprinting in speke's gazelle: a test for genetic distinctness, and the correlation between relatedness and similarity. | in the absence of pedigree information, the determination of genetic distinctness of populations can only be made by genetic methods. using dna fingerprinting on the north american captive herd of speke's gazelle gazella spekei, we were able to address two hypotheses. first, two new individuals were found to have come from a genetically distinct population (p = 0.008, permutation test), and represent potential new founders to be added to the population. secondly, genetic similarity was not signi ... | 1994 | 7921360 |
| inbreeding: one word, several meanings, much confusion. | because conservation biologists must frequently deal with small populations, inbreeding (a frequent consequence of small population size) has played a central role in many genetic management programs. however, the word "inbreeding" has several, often contradictory meanings, and a failure to distinguish among these meanings has caused much misunderstanding on the role of inbreeding in genetic management. three different biological meanings of inbreeding are discussed in this paper: (1) inbreeding ... | 1994 | 8032141 |
| hk/lk polymorphism and its genetic determination in speke's gazelle. | concentrations of potassium (k) and sodium (na) were determined in the erythrocytes of 28 members of an interbreeding herd of speke's gazelle. the distribution of k concentrations and na/k concentration ratios suggested the presence of the high-k/low-k (hk/lk) polymorphism known in erythrocytes of domestic bovids. the pedigree of the herd of gazelles is known completely, permitting examination of the inheritance of hk/lk polymorphism by overlaying the distribution of phenotypes on the pedigree. ... | 2013 | 3183359 |

| the noncervical lateral transverse foramina. | the lateral vertebral foramen (lvf) is an osseous feature found in thoracic and lumbar vertebrae of some artiodactyls and perissodactyls. to learn more about the distribution and characteristics of the lvf, we examined museum specimens from the smithsonian mammal collection and teaching specimens from the cornell university college of veterinary medicine. we identified five anatomically different types of lvf and noted their occurrence in 60 species. the lvf varies from a deep lateral groove at ... | 2018 | 30350317 |
| comparison of propofol constant rate infusion and isoflurane for maintenance of anesthesia in speke's gazelle, gazella spekei. | the aims of this study were to determine if a propofol constant rate infusion (cri) in speke's gazelle, gazella spekei, would serve as an effective alternative maintenance anesthetic, result in shorter recovery times, and improve anesthetic recovery quality when compared with isoflurane. eight adult gazelle were enrolled in this complete crossover study with a minimum 3-wk washout period. all gazelle were induced with 10 mg/kg intravenous propofol and maintained with either propofol cri (0.4 mg/ ... | 2018 | 30212319 |
