| a phylogenetic comparison of red deer and wapiti using mitochondrial dna. | a phylogeny was constructed for red deer/wapiti (cervus elaphus) subspecies using sequence data from the control region of mitochondrial dna (mtdna). the tree was rooted using cervus nippon (sika deer), cervus albirostris (thorold's white-lipped deer), and several odocoileinae species. a division between the mtdna haplotypes of red deer (european) and wapiti (asian/north american) corresponds to subspecies found on opposite sides of the himalayan mountains and gobi, which suggests wapiti should ... | 2002 | 11884159 |
| identification by r-banding and fish of chromosome arms involved in robertsonian translocations in several deer species. | we constructed and analyzed the rbg-banded karyotype of five deer species: chital (axis axis), white-lipped deer (cervus albirostris), rusa deer (cervus timorensis russa), sambar deer (cervus unicolor) and eld's deer (cervus eldi siamensis). among these five species, only eld's deer had been previously karyotyped using r-banding. in order to identify all the chromosome correspondences with cattle and precisely which chromosome arms are involved in robertsonian translocations, we compared the kar ... | 2003 | 14606627 |
| seroprevalences of antibodies to neospora caninum and toxoplasma gondii in zoo animals. | neospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite that causes neuromuscular disease in dogs and abortions in cattle. little is known about the prevalence of antibodies to this parasite in zoo animals. sera from 556 animals, from 13 czech and slovak zoos were tested for antibodies to n. caninum and toxoplasma gondii by indirect fluorescent antibody test. antibodies to n. caninum were found in 31 of 556 zoo animals (5.6%), representing 18 of 114 species tested: eurasian wolf (canis lupus lupus), maned ... | 2006 | 16387445 |
| serum gamma-glutamyltransferase as a prognostic indicator of neonatal viability in nondomestic ruminants. | rapid assessment of immune status in neonatal ruminants of endangered species facilitates early intervention in cases of inadequate passive transfer of maternal immunoglobulins. serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (ggt) was used to evaluate suspected passive transfer status in 25 north indian muntjac (muntiacus muntjak vaginalis), 45 cretan goats (capra algagrus cretica), 20 white-lipped deer (cervus albirostris), 25 mhorr gazelles (gazella dama mhorr), and 31 soemmerring's gazelles (gazella soemmer ... | 2005 | 17323564 |
| assessment of genetic diversity of cervus albirostris (white-lipped deer) by microsatellite markers. | cervus albirostris (white-lipped deer) is a unique plateau deer in china. in order to conserve the white-lipped deer population and maintain its sustainable development in liaoyang, china, ten microsatellite markers was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 42 white-lipped deer, an ex-situ conservation population from yushu (qinghai) to liaoyang (liaoning). the results showed that expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.399 to 0.825 with a mean of 0.6071, while observed heterozygosity varied fr ... | 2020 | 33054525 |
| [comparison on feeding habits of cervus wallichii and sympatric ungulates and domestic animals in green grass period]. | tibetan red deer (cervus wallichii) is an endemic species to china, which was once considered extinct in the wild. as there are several other wild ungulates and domestic animals with similar feeding habits within its habitat range, it's thus essential to study interspecific competition and co-existence between tibetan red deer and other cohabiting ungulates in the highly unique environment of qinghai-tibet plateau. using microscopic analysis on fresh fecal samples collected in sangri tibetan red ... | 2020 | 32476360 |
| the gut bacterial community composition of wild cervus albirostris (white-lipped deer) detected by the 16s ribosomal rna gene sequencing. | cervus albirostris (white-lipped deer) is an endemic species in china. as the name implies, c. albirostris has a characteristic pure white marking around their mouth and on the underside of the throat. the animal is a typical alpine species normally living at the height of 3500-4300 m. in this study, by pyrosequencing the 16s rrna gene sequences, we for the first time analyzed the gut bacterial community composition in eight feces samples of wild c. albirostris. from a total of 243,634 high-qual ... | 2017 | 28667467 |
