| surface morphology of immunocompetent cells isolated from spleen of bufo himalayanus (günther). | immunocompetent cells were isolated from spleen of b. himalayanus and studied surface morphology of the three different cell types--(i) plastic adherent; (ii) nylon wool adherent; and (iii) nylon wool non-adherent cells. as revealed by scanning electron microscopy, they resembled the macrophages, b and t cells, respectively. presence of such cell types indicated that bufo himalayanus possessed a well-organized immune system. further work is needed to characterize the functional efficacy of these ... | 2008 | 18432059 |
| cellular composition of the islets of langerhans in the himalayan toad, bufo melanostictus (schneider): a light microscopical study. | the pancreatic islet tissue of bufo melanostictus, investigated by differential staining techniques, is generally condensed in the anterior and middle regions, and contains distinguishable islets of various size, shape and or irregular configuration. histologically, 3 distinct cell types have been identified: b, a1 and a2. various tinctorial characteristics of b cells reveal that they correspond to the insulin producing b-cells of other vertebrates. the a cells are a few in number, some of which ... | 1975 | 53955 |

| a new method for isolation of leukocytes from the peripheral blood of amphibians [bufo himalayanus, (gunther)] and study of their surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy. | using percoll as the density gradient, a new single step method to isolate leukocytes from the peripheral blood of amphibians (b. himalayanus) has been described. isolated leukocytes were photographed under the scanning electron microscope and an attempt has been made to characterize the leukocyte population on the basis of surface morphology. apart from regular blood cell types, b. himalayanus have slender, elongated and slightly curved leukocyte type cells in their peripheral blood. such slend ... | 2005 | 15991571 |
| two new species of rhabdias (nematoda: rhabditida: rhabdiasidae) in anuran hosts from dehradun (uttarakhand), india. | rhabdias himalayanus n. sp. from the lungs of duttaphrynus himalayanus and rhabdias dehradunensis n. sp. from the lungs of nanorana minica from dehradun, india are described and figured. of the 3 previously described indian species, rhabdias himalayanus n. sp. is most similar to rhabdias shortii in having a cylindrical corpus, inflated cuticle, and conical tail; it differs from r. shortii in having greater body measurements, longer esophagus, larger eggs, and a different pattern of cuticle infla ... | 2013 | 23020804 |
| cosmocercoides himalayanus sp. nov. (nematoda, cosmocercidae) in duttaphrynus himalayanus (amphibia, anura) from dehradun (uttarakhand), india. | cosmocercoides himalayanus sp. nov. (nematoda, cosmocercidae) from the large intestine of duttaphrynus himalayanus (amphibia, anura) from dehradun, india is described and illustrated. cosmocercoides himalayanus sp. nov. represents the 21st species assigned to the genus and the 9th species from the oriental biogeographical region. cosmocercoides himalayanus sp. nov. differs from the previously described oriental species in number and position of rosette papillae; it is the only species possessing ... | 2014 | 24570052 |

| description of a new species of rhabdias stiles and hassall, 1905 (nematoda: rhabdiasidae) from western himalayan foothills (uttarakhand), india. | rhabdias garhwalensis sp. nov. from the lungs of duttaphrynus himalayanus (günther, 1864) collected in kimoi tehsil, district tehri garhwal (uttarakhand), india is described and illustrated. rhabdias garhwalensis sp. nov. represents the 15th species described from the oriental zoogeographical zone and the 9th species from india. the new species is differentiated from the closely related oriental species in having 6 lips, cup-shaped buccal cavity with muscular striations in the posterior region a ... | 2018 | 30367751 |
