| [enrofloxacin (baytril)--an alternative for psittacosis prevention and therapy in imported psittacines]. | it was the aim of the presented work to test enrofloxacin under field conditions of compulsory prophylaxis and treatment of psittacosis, as jung (1993) had already demonstrated the effectiveness of this antibiotic against chlamydia psittaci. during official quarantine 22 groups comprising 2536 birds were treated with baytril. with suitable feed like steamed maize and a dose of 500 mg/kg enrofloxacin the mean blood values ranged from 0.9 to 4.1 micrograms/ml within the different species. applicat ... | 1993 | 8223239 |
| [intestinal parasites of parrots]. | the aim of this study was to determine a parasitic species composition, prevalence and intensity of infection in selected parrots. | 2007 | 17912808 |
| sex determination in 58 bird species and evaluation of chd gene as a universal molecular marker in bird sexing. | the aim of this research was to test the chd gene (chromo helicase dna-binding gene) as a universal molecular marker for sexing birds of relatively distant species. the chd gene corresponds to the aim because of its high degree of conservation and different lengths in z and w chromosomes due to different intron sizes. dna was isolated from feathers and the amplification of the chd gene was performed with the following sets of polymerase chain reaction (pcr) primers: 2550f/2718r and p2/p8. sex de ... | 2015 | 22553188 |

| vision, touch and object manipulation in senegal parrots poicephalus senegalus. | parrots are exceptional among birds for their high levels of exploratory behaviour and manipulatory abilities. it has been argued that foraging method is the prime determinant of a bird's visual field configuration. however, here we argue that the topography of visual fields in parrots is related to their playful dexterity, unique anatomy and particularly the tactile information that is gained through their bill tip organ during object manipulation. we measured the visual fields of senegal parro ... | 2011 | 21525059 |
| echocardiographic examinations of 60 african grey parrots and 30 other psittacine birds. | the aim of this study was to establish reference values for the assessment of cardiac function in birds by measuring structures in the heart of healthy psittacine birds; 60 grey parrots, 10 amazon parrots, 10 cockatoos and 10 senegal parrots were anaesthetised with isoflurane and examined echocardiographically. the heart was visualised in two planes (vertical and horizontal views). depending on the quality of the images, several dimensions of the heart could be measured and various parameters ca ... | 2004 | 15311799 |
| complete genome sequence of psittacine adenovirus 1, identified from poicephalus senegalus in italy. | using a metagenomics approach, we were able to determine for the first time the full-genome sequence of a psittacine adenovirus 1 isolate that was recovered from the liver of a dead senegal parrot (poicephalus senegalus) in italy. the results of the phylogenetic investigations revealed the existence of high genetic diversity among adenoviruses circulating in psittacine birds. | 2018 | 30533635 |
