| schistosoma kisumuensis n. sp. (digenea: schistosomatidae) from murid rodents in the lake victoria basin, kenya and its phylogenetic position within the s. haematobium species group. | schistosoma kisumuensis n. sp. is described based on 6 adult males and 2 adult females collected from the circulatory system of 3 murid rodent species, pelomys isseli, mastomys natalensis, and dasymys incomtus. specimens were collected from a single location, nyabera swamp, in kisumu, kenya in the lake victoria basin. this new species is morphologically similar to members of the s. haematobium group, currently represented by 8 species parasitizing artiodactyls and primates, including humans. sch ... | 2009 | 19573258 |
| afrojoyeuxia gen. n. and hunkeleriella gen. n., two new genera of cestodes (cyclophyllidea: anoplocephalidae) from african rodents. | based on the study of type material, two new genera of cestodes (cyclophyllidea: anoplocephalidae) are proposed for paranoplocephala lüihe, 1910 sensu lato species from african rodents. afrojoyeuxia gen. n., proposed for a. gundii (joyeux, 1923) comb. n. from ctenodactylus gundi (rothmann) (hystricomorpha: ctenodactylidae), is characterized by a high length/width ratio of mature proglottids, longitudinally extensive testicular field positioned anterior to the female glands, an ovoid or subspheri ... | 2013 | 24471290 |
| species composition and community structure of small pest rodents (muridae) in cultivated and fallow fields in maize-growing areas in mayuge district, eastern uganda. | pest rodents remain key biotic constraints to cereal crops production in the east african region where they occur, especially in seasons of outbreaks. despite that, uganda has scant information on rodents as crop pests to guide effective management strategies.a capture-mark-recapture (cmr) technique was employed to study the ecology of small rodents, specifically to establish the species composition and community structure in a maize-based agro ecosystem. trapping of small rodents was conducted ... | 2019 | 31346445 |
