| lesions associated with metazoan parasites of wild platypuses (ornithorhynchus anatinus). | pathological findings associated with helminth and arthropod parasites of four wild platypuses (ornithorhynchus anatinus) are described. fourth-stage larval rhabditoid nematodes (?cylindrocorporidae) found partially embedded in the stratum corneum were associated with mild acanthosis, orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis and inconstant subacute dermatits. a filarioid nematode (?lemdaninae) was found in hypodermal lymphoid tissue. a larval trichostrongyloid nematode was found in the dermis, with no evid ... | 1989 | 2810552 |
| pathology in captive platypus (ornithorhynchus anatinus) in victoria, australia. | between 1978 and 1981, 20 platypus (ornithorhynchus anatinus) which had been held in exhibits for varying periods, were submitted for necropsy. the most common gross and histologic lesions were adrenal enlargement, pulmonary pathology consistent with shock or aspiration pneumonia, intestinal coccidiosis, the presence of trypanosomes, myocarditis and nephritis. other conditions encountered included infestation with ticks (ixodes ornithorhynchi), a mild infection of intestinal trematodes (mehlisia ... | 1983 | 6887433 |
| a novel ehrlichia species in blood and ixodes ornithorhynchi ticks from platypuses (ornithorhynchus anatinus) in queensland and tasmania, australia. | worldwide, ehrlichia spp. are emerging infectious organisms of domestic animals and people, however, most ehrlichia spp. naturally infect wildlife reservoirs causing mainly asymptomatic infections. australian ecosystems have been under-explored for these potentially pathogenic organisms, and recent studies have identified a range of novel ehrlichia, and their sister genera, anaplasma and 'candidatus neoehrlichia' species, from native australian ticks. we used bacterial 16s rrna (16s) next-genera ... | 2017 | 29284563 |
