extinction risk assessment for the species survival plan (ssp) population of the bali mynah (leucopsar rothschildi).the bali mynah species survival plan (ssp), an association of zoos and aquariums program, strives to maintain the genetic and demographic health of its population, avoid unplanned changes in size, and minimize the risk of population extinction. the ssp population meets current demographic and genetic objectives with a population size of 209 birds at 61 institutions and 96% genetic diversity (gd) retained from the source population. however, participating institutions have expressed concerns rega ...200919504596
diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus in a bali mynah (leucopsar rothschildi).an 18-year-old female bali mynah (leucopsar rothschildi) was presented for polyphagia, weight loss, and incoordination. diabetes mellitus was diagnosed based on the history and clinical findings, including persistent hyperglycemia with concurrent hypoinsulinemia and glucosuria. a treatment protocol was developed that led to improvement of clinical signs and management of hyperglycemia over several months. because of the advanced age of the animal, difficulty in maintaining euglycemia, and the st ...201627315382
[nematodes (procyrnea mansioni, spirurida) as a cause of stomach changes in chinese nightingales (leiothrix lutea) and rothschild's mynah birds (leucopsar rothschildi)]. 19854071021
a new species of isospora schneider, 1881 (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from the bali (rothschild's) mynah leucopsar rothschildi (passeriformes: sturnidae), and comments concerning the genera atoxoplasma garnham, 1950 and isospora.a new species of isosporan (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) is reported from the bali mynah leucopsar rothschildi (passeriformes: sturnidae). oöcysts of isospora rothschildi n. sp. are spherical to subspherical, 22.3 x 21.6 (20-26 x 19-23) microm, with a shape index (length/width) of 1.03 (1.00-1.15). a micropyle and oöcyst residuum are absent, but one to many polar granules are present. sporocysts are ovoidal, 15.9 x 10.6 (15-18 x 9.5-11) microm, with stieda and substieda bodies and a shape index of 1 ...200111213203
assessment of the quality of multi-institutional data for population-based epidemiological studies: a case study of atoxoplasmosis in bali mynahs (leucopsar rothschildi).to evaluate the potential to conduct population-based epidemiologic studies using multi-institutional data, the quality of data extracted from the medarks system was evaluated with regard to atoxoplasmosis in bali mynahs (leucopsar rothschildi). data extracted for 338 bali mynahs from 34 institutions were analyzed for completeness, correctness, and consistency and subjectively analyzed for accessibility. data completeness was ascertained by analysis of missing records, tests, and blank fields. t ...201122946399
a complete species-level molecular phylogeny for the "eurasian" starlings (sturnidae: sturnus, acridotheres, and allies): recent diversification in a highly social and dispersive avian group.we generated the first complete phylogeny of extant taxa in a well-defined clade of 26 starling species that is collectively distributed across eurasia, and which has one species endemic to sub-saharan africa. two species in this group-the european starling sturnus vulgaris and the common myna acridotheres tristis-now occur on continents and islands around the world following human-mediated introductions, and the entire clade is generally notable for being highly social and dispersive, as most o ...200818321732
