| isoenzyme electrophetic characterization of leishmania major, the causative agent of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in north and west saudi arabia. | several expeditions were carried out to four localities (al-madinah almona-warah, tabouk region, al-jouf and northern frontiers regions) in northern and western saudi arabia for sampling zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) cases from patients and rodents. biopsy samples were collected from 51 patients complaining of skin lesions, most of which (40 or 78.4%) proved to be zcl. amastigotes were detected in 33 patients (64.7%), but only 30 (58.9%) gave successful growth of promastigotes in the cu ... | 2010 | 21246954 |
| effect of sowing depth on performance of quercus castaneifolia seedling at different levels of canopy cover. | due to failure of oak (quercus castaneifolia c.a. meyer) natural regeneration, investigation on the best acorn sowing depth of this species under different levels of canopy cover is an important consideration in the caspian forests, north of iran. for this purpose, a study site with north-facing slope, clay-loam soil and 260-280 m a.s.l. was chosen in a mixed oak forest. the experiment was conducted as a complete randomized split plot design (crspd) and the measurements made in one growing seaso ... | 2007 | 19070045 |
| on the indian crested porcupine, hystrix indica (kerr, 1792) in turkey (mammalia: rodentia). | this study presents some data about ecological, biological and taxonomical characteristics of hystrix indica (kerr, 1792) from turkey. for this purpose characteristics of burrow, skull, tooth and measurements of external and cranial characters of two female h. indica from turkey were investigated. it was concluded that our specimens are between the middle east and indian sub-region specimens in terms of morphometrical. it was also determined that there were roots in stomach contents of specimens ... | 2008 | 18817213 |
| influences of porcupine (hystrix indica) activity on the slopes on the northern negev mountains - germination and vegetation renewal in different geomorphological types and slope directions. | preliminary results show that the number and survival of seedlings within the diggings of the indian crested porcupine (hystrix indica) is usually higher than in the surrounding area. species like erodium hirtum (willd.) (hemicryptophyte), helianthemum vesicarium boiss. (perennial), and diplotaxis harra (forssk.) boiss. are conspicuous by their appearance in the diggings of the porcupine more than between the diggings. in contrast there are plants like helianthemum ledifolium (l.) mill. (annual) ... | 1981 | 28310016 |
| [helminths of birds and mammals from israel. vi. the taxonomy and ecology of trichostrongylid nematodes (author's transl)]. | thirteen species of trichostronglyloid nematodes have so far been recorded from wild birds and mammals in israel and surrounding territories. three species were found in birds: amidostomum fulicae (rudolphi, 1819) in fulica atra l., 1758, a. acutum (lundahl, 1848) in anas crecca l., 1758 and amidostomum sp. in ceryle rudis l., 1758. ten species, 3 of which are new, were found in small mammals: trichostrongylus colubriformis (giles, 1892) in hystrix indica kerr, 1792; tenorastrongylus josephi n. ... | 1975 | 776059 |
| annual plant community responses to density of small-scale soil disturbances in the negev desert of israel. | we investigated whether plant diversity and productivity in small-scale soil disturbances, which is known to be higher than in undisturbed soil, decreases as the density of the disturbances increases. we studied this in an experiment with soil diggings (15 cm diameter and 15 cm depth) dug at a range of densities, on a north- and a south-facing slope of a watershed in the central negev desert of israel. the diggings were similar to the commonly occurring pits made by porcupines (hystrix indica) a ... | 1998 | 28307548 |
| faunistic study of the rodents of north khorasan province, north east of iran, 2011-2013. | rodents are one of the most important hosts for some zoonotic diseases and also act as a reservoir of some ectoparasites and endoparasites. they cause damage to the farms and inflict public health. the aim of this study was to investigate the faunal composition of rodent in north khorasan province, northeast of iran. | 2018 | 30123806 |
| close encounter with a prickly soccer ball: an injury from an indian crested porcupine. | the indian crested porcupine, hystrix indica, is a large rodent with the unique feature of long quills. these quills are an integral part of its defense mechanism against predators. injuries resulting from human contact with quills may cause pain, bleeding, and swelling. quill-related injuries are common among animals such as dogs, cats, and some wild animals. the mechanism of injury, consequences, and management of injuries to humans from h indica quills are rarely described. in this report, we ... | 2018 | 29530469 |
| micrococcoides hystricis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family micrococcaceae, phylum actinobacteria. | a gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated tsl3t, was isolated from faeces of a porcupine, hystrix indica, from the budapest zoo and botanical garden, hungary. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, the strain is phylogenetically related to the family micrococcaceae. the highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity was found with micrococcus terreus v3m1t (96.50 %) followed by arthrobacter humicola kv-653t (96.43 %). cells of strain tsl3t were aerobic, non-motile and coccoid-shaped. the ... | 2017 | 28853684 |
| field evaluation of some bait additives against indian crested porcupine (hystrix indica) (rodentia: hystricidae). | this research study evaluated the effect of different additives on the bait consumption by indian crested porcupine, a serious forest and agricultural pest, under field conditions. different additives (saccharin, common salt, bone meal, fish meal, peanut butter, egg yolk, egg shell powder, yeast powder, mineral oil and coconut oil) at 2 and 5% each were tested for their relative preference, using groundnut-maize (1:1) as basic bait. all the additives were tested under a no-choice test pattern. f ... | 2013 | 24020467 |
| testing values of crested porcupine habitats by experimental food patches. | we established depletable, artificial food patches in three habitats used by indian crested porcupines (hystrix indica) in a desert biome, and measured the number of food items remaining (i.e., "giving up density"=gud) following nightly foraging bouts. porcupines discriminated between resource types (peanuts vs. garbanzo beans), and exhibited clear habitat preferences in the face of uniform resource availability in time and space. lowest gud's (=lowest foraging costs) were in the habitat of dens ... | 1990 | 28313185 |
| porcupine disturbances and vegetation pattern along a resource gradient in a desert. | in the negev desert, israel, the indian crested porcupine, hystrix indica, digs similar sized, discrete, elongated pits (257±21.3 cm3; n=144) while foraging for below-ground plant storage organs. in these digs, soil moisture content is higher than in the surrounding soil matrix. the digs disturb population and community structure due to porcupine consumption or damage of 18 species of plants, and repopulation by 55 plant species. over the past 14 years we have studied dig dynamics on a rocky hil ... | 1991 | 28312743 |
| nymphal linguatulosis in indian crested porcupines (histrix indica) in southwest of iran. | linguatula serrata is one of the important zoonotic parasites. carnivores serve as definitive host. the larvae existed in mesenteric lymph nodes (mlns), liver, lungs, etc of intermediate herbivores. the definitive host becomes infected by ingesting viscera containing the infective nymphal stage. humans may be infected with linguatula either by ingestion of nymphs resulting in a condition called nasopharyngeal linguatulosis or halzoun syndrome or by ingestion of infective eggs which develop in in ... | 2015 | 26114151 |
