(ixodoidea: ixodidae), female and tentatively associated immature stages from high mountains of northern pakistan and afghanistan. | haemaphysalis (allophysalis) danieli sp. n. is described from a female taken from alpine vegetation in swat, pakistan. fifty-one nymphal and larval ticks tentatively associated with this taxon are from hamsters, field mice, voles, and marmots (rodentia), cricetulus migratorius, apodemus flavicollis, alticola roylei, and marmota caudata, and from pikas (lagomorpha), ochotona roylei, in gilgit and hazara districts of pakistan and in badakhashan province of afghanistan. collecting localities are in ... | 1977 | 864574 |
| fatal combined infection with canine distemper virus and orthopoxvirus in a group of asian marmots (marmota caudata). | a fatal combined infection with canine distemper virus (cdv) and orthopoxvirus (opxv) in asian marmots (marmota caudata) is reported in this article. a total of 7 asian marmots from a small zoological garden in switzerland were found dead in hibernation during a routine check in the winter of 2011. the marmots died in february 2011. no clinical signs of disease were observed at any time. the viruses were detected in all individuals for which the tissues were available (n = 3). detection of the v ... | 2013 | 23381928 |
| [louse infestation of the red marmot, marmota caudata, during its active period]. | 2213 lice of neohaematopinus palaearctcus ols. were collected from 152 of 865 examined specimens of marmota caudata geoffr. from different vertical zones of tadjikistan. the long-tailed marmot is characterized by a moderate or poor infestation with lice. in the subalpine zone, where the number and density of these animals in rather high, the infestation rate is greater than that in the brushwood zone. in spring after hibernation the infestation of m. caudata is very low. within the reporoduction ... | 2010 | 124846 |
| increased flight initiation distance (fid) in golden marmots (marmota caudata aurea) responding to domestic dogs in a landscape of human disturbance. | humans and dogs initiate measurable escape responses in wild animals including flight initiation distance (fid), with potentially negative consequences. golden marmots are important prey for endangered carnivores and are subject to human persecution including via marmot baiting with dogs. we quantified fid at four marmot colonies (72 individuals) in the karakoram range, pakistan in response to approach by a pedestrian with a leashed dog versus approach by a pedestrian alone (i.e., a control). ad ... | 2019 | 31454917 |
| responses of snow leopards, wolves and wild ungulates to livestock grazing in the zorkul strictly protected area, tajikistan. | long recognized as a threat to wildlife, livestock grazing in protected areas has the potential to undermine conservation goals, via competition, habitat degradation, human-carnivore conflict and disruption of predator-prey relationships. in the strictly protected area zorkul in tajikistan (zorkul reserve), grazing is commonplace despite official prohibition, with potentially detrimental effects on local fauna, in particular, snow leopard panthera uncia, wolf canis lupus, brown bear ursus arctos ... | 2018 | 30500847 |
