| [two filariae parasites of duikers in gabon (author's transl)]. | description of the male fo filaria cephalophi chabaud and rousselot, 1956 which was unknown. the species is a parasite of cephalophus dorsalis in congo and gabon. description of dipetalonema (loxodontofilaria) faini n. sp., parasite of cephalophus nigrifrons. the species is closely related to the two filariae known from cattle in ruanda. | 1978 | 567953 |
| [new data on the dipetalonema lineage (filarioidea, nematoda)]. | the evolutionary line of dipetalonema can apparently be divided into four groups: i: australian species; ii: paleoendemic south american species; iii: the tetrapetalonema group; iv: the acanthocheilonema group. loxodontofilaria at present insufficiently known to be classified and several species belonging to the acanthocheilonema group are the object of the present study. descriptions are given of loxodontofilaria asiatica n. sp., parasite of elephas indicus in burma, cercopithifilaria degraaffi ... | 1982 | 6891995 |
| [ctenocephalides chabaudi, sp. n. (siphonaptera, pulicidae), a new flea from the primary forest in gabon]. | ctenocephalides chabaudi sp. n. is described from the primary forest in gabon. the holotype and only specimen is a female characterized by its ctenidia, its genal process, the pattern of setae on abdominal tergites and by its spermatheca. the host, presumably accidental, is cephalophus dorsalis (mammalia, bovidae). | 1982 | 7125495 |
| identification of trypanosomes in wild animals from southern cameroon using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). | one possible explanation of the maintenance of many historical foci of sleeping sickness in central africa could be the existence of a wild animal reservoir. in this study, pcr was used to detect the different trypanosome species present in wild animal captured by hunters in the southern forest belt of cameroon (bipindi). trypanosomes were also detected by a parasitological method (quantitative buffy coat: qbc). parasite could not be isolated in culture medium (kit for in vitro isolation: kivi). ... | 2002 | 12514949 |
| infection rate of trypanosoma brucei s.l., t. vivax, t. congolense "forest type", and t. simiae in small wild vertebrates in south cameroon. | in order to identify the infection rate of trypanosome species infecting wild animals in four localities (bipindi, campo, fontem and nditam) of southern cameroon, 1,141 wild animals were sampled. these animals belonged to 36 species grouped in 8 orders including 407 primates, 347 artiodactyls, 264 rodents, 54 pangolins, 53 small carnivores, 11 saurians and crocodilians and 5 hyraxes. pcr using specific primers for trypanosoma vivax, t. brucei s.l., t. congolense "forest type", and t. simiae show ... | 2004 | 15350866 |
| influence of habitat and seasonal variation on wild mammal diversity and distribution with special reference to the trypanosoma brucei gambiense host-reservoir in bipindi (cameroon). | to evaluate the role of wildlife in the resurgence and perenisation of human african trypanosomiasis (hat), we investigated the influence of habitat and seasonal variations on the diversity and spatial distribution of wild mammals, with special reference to those recognised as potential host-reservoirs of trypanosoma brucei gambiense in bipindi (southwestern cameroon). to achieve this, we carried out transect surveys in four habitat types over two years. a total of 31 mammal species were recorde ... | 2009 | 19732737 |
| diversity and spatial distribution of vectors and hosts of t. brucei gambiense in forest zones of, southern cameroon: epidemiological implications. | host and vector distribution of trypanosoma brucei gambiense was studied in relation to habitat types and seasons. six (19.35%) of the 31 mammal species recorded in bipindi were reservoir hosts. cercopithecus nictitans was confined to the undisturbed forest and the low intensive shifting cultivation zones, while cephalophus monticola, cephalophus dorsalis, cricetomys gambianus, atherurus africanus and nandinia binotata occurred in all the habitat types. as for vectors of human african trypanosom ... | 2010 | 20067756 |
| mammals consumed by bonobos (pan paniscus): new data from the iyondji forest, tshuapa, democratic republic of the congo. | findings of regional variations in the behavioral patterns of non-human primates have led to the vigorous study of animal traditions (or culture), which contribute to a biological understanding of diversity in human cultures. although our knowledge of behavioral variations of the bonobo (pan paniscus) is limited compared with its sister species, the chimpanzee (p. troglodytes), variations in the prey of this species have been reported across study sites. this study describes evidence of mammals ... | 2016 | 26968409 |
| effect of small-scale heterogeneity of prey and hunter distributions on the sustainability of bushmeat hunting. | bushmeat is the main source of protein and the most important source of income for rural people in the congo basin, but intensive hunting of bushmeat species is also a major concern for conservationists. although spatial heterogeneity in hunting effort and in prey populations at the landscape level plays a key role in the sustainability of hunted populations, the role of small-scale heterogeneity within a village hunting territory in the sustainability of hunting has remained understudied. we bu ... | 2010 | 20345398 |
| evaluating the role of pleistocene refugia, rivers and environmental variation in the diversification of central african duikers (genera cephalophus and philantomba). | this study aims to assess the role that pleistocene refugia, rivers and local habitat conditions may have played in the evolutionary diversification of three central african duiker species (cephalophus dorsalis, c. callipygus and philantomba monticola). genetic data from geo-referenced feces were collected from a wide range of sites across central africa. historical patterns of population genetic structure were assessed using a ~ 650 bp fragment of the mitochondrial control region and contempora ... | 2017 | 28877669 |
