| prevalence of certain antibodies to selected disease-causing agents in wild turkeys in texas. | in texas in 1976 and 1977, rio grande turkeys (meleagris gallopavo intermedia) from seven counties and eastern turkeys (m. g. silvestris) from one county were tested for antibodies to selected poultry pathogens. standardized serological tests disclosed reactors to salmonella pullorum (2.4%), s. typhimurium (2.3%), and mycoplasma gallisepticum (4.8%). there were no reactors to newcastle disease virus or chlamydia psittaci. prevalence of m. gallisepticum antibody in wild turkeys was significantly ... | 1979 | 384989 |
| hematozoan parasites of rio grande wild turkeys from southern texas. | one hundred twenty-three of 300 blood samples (41%) taken from rio grande wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo intermedia) from three locations in southern texas (welder wildlife refuge, chaparrosa ranch, and campo alegre ranch) and subinoculated into domestic broad-breasted white turkey poults were positive for a plasmodium (novyella) sp. analysis of blood films from 350 turkeys revealed haemoproteus meleagridis in 76% of the birds. a significantly greater mean parasite intensity was observed in b ... | 1988 | 3127605 |
| serologic response of rio grande wild turkeys to experimental infections of mycoplasma gallisepticum. | the serologic response of rio grande wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo intermedia) to mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) was determined. free-ranging turkeys were caught in southern texas, shipped to the university of wisconsin, madison, and housed in isolation facilities. fourteen birds were exposed to mg, by intratracheal and intranasal inoculation. eight birds received sterile broth only. two wk prior to the end of the experiment, mg exposed turkeys were stressed by challenge with a serologically ... | 1988 | 3193562 |

| wild turkey (meleagris gallopavo) as a host of ixodid ticks, lice, and lyme disease spirochetes (borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato) in california state parks. | rio grande wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo intermedia) were evaluated as potential hosts of ixodid ticks, lice, and lyme disease spirochetes (borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [s.l.]) in three state parks in sonoma county, california, usa, during 2003 and 2004. in total, 113 birds were collected, 50 (44.2%) of which were found to be infested by 361 ixodid ticks representing three species: the western black-legged tick (ixodes pacificus, n=248), the rabbit tick (haemaphysalis leporispalustris, n= ... | 2006 | 17255442 |
| using dynamic brownian bridge movement modelling to measure temporal patterns of habitat selection. | accurately describing animal space use is vital to understanding how wildlife use habitat. improvements in gps technology continue to facilitate collection of telemetry data at high spatial and temporal resolutions. application of the recently introduced dynamic brownian bridge movement model (dbbmm) to such data is promising as the method explicitly incorporates the behavioural heterogeneity of a movement path into the estimated utilization distribution (ud). utilization distributions defining ... | 2014 | 24460723 |
| dilated cardiomyopathy in a rio grande wild turkey (meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in southern utah, usa, 2013. | a male rio grande wild turkey (meleagris gallopavo intermedia) living in semidomestication was submitted for necropsy. emaciation, a greatly enlarged heart, and chronic passive congestion of the liver were present. dilated cardiomyopathy occurs in domestic turkey flocks but has not been reported in wild turkeys. | 2015 | 25919467 |
