| contribution to the knowledge of helminthofauna of wild mammals of somalia. | within a survey of parasitic infections in wild mammals of somalia, during the first semester of 1983 and the second of 1984, endoparasites were collected from 11 host species: gazella soemmeringi, gazella spekei, madoqua saltiana, phacochoerus aethiopicus, xerus rutilus, lepus sp., genetta genetta, herpestes (galerella) sanguineus, felis sylvestris libyca, felis caracal, canis mesomelas. a total of 22 species of helminths (20 nematode and 2 metacestode species) were identified. lepus sp. is a n ... | 1996 | 9257339 |
| innocuity studies of sag-2 oral rabies vaccine in various zimbabwean wild non-target species. | the sag-2 modified live rabies vaccine was tested for innocuity when administered by the oral route in several potential wild non-target bait-consuming species, as follows: ten chacma baboons (papio ursinus), six african civets (civettictis civetta), six slender mongooses (galerella sanguinea), six honey badgers (mellivora capensis), six large-spotted genets (genetta tigrina), 39 multi-mammate mice (mastomys natalensis), 26 bushveld gerbils (tatera leucogaster) and six pied crows (corvus albus). ... | 1997 | 9261938 |
| report of isolations of unusual lyssaviruses (rabies and mokola virus) identified retrospectively from zimbabwe. | rabies isolates that had been stored between 1983 and 1997 were examined with a panel of anti-lyssavirus nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies. out of 56 isolates from cats and various wild carnivore species, 1 isolate of mokola virus and 5 other non-typical rabies viruses were identified. the mokola virus isolate was diagnosed as rabies in 1993 from a cat. genetic analysis of this isolate suggests that it falls in a distinct subgroup of the mokola virus genotype. the 5 non-typical rabies viruses w ... | 2001 | 11513267 |
| isolation and characterization of flagellates from rodents and canids in masinga, machakos district, kenya. | a total of 728 animals comprising of 633 rodents and 95 canids were examined for leishmanial parasites. flagellates were isolated from 67 out of 111 (60.4%) acomys subspinosus (spiny mouse), 12 out of 143 (8.4% ) mastomys natalensis (multimammate rat), 2 out of 50 (4.0%) lemniscomys striatus (striped mouse), 2 out of 6 (33.3%) herpestes sanguineus (slender mongoose), 1 of 1 helogale parvula (dwarf mongoose) and 1 out of 84 canis familiaris (domestic dog). all isolates were characterized by isoen ... | 1995 | 12160424 |
| species boundaries and possible hybridization between the black mongoose (galerella nigrata) and the slender mongoose (galerella sanguinea). | major climatic oscillations since the mid-miocene climatic optimum are known to have played a key role in promoting speciation events. in this study we use molecular data to elucidate the evolutionary history of galerella nigrata and link its divergence to known major climatic events. a total of 51 samples from g. nigrata and 17 from galerella sanguinea were used to provide the first molecular evidence that g. nigrata may be a species in its own right. both mitochondrial cytochrome b and the nuc ... | 2012 | 22940151 |
| topography of the chorda tympani nerve and the tensor tympani muscle in carnivores provides a new synapomorphy for herpestidae (carnivora, mammalia). | the topographical relationship of the chorda tympani nerve (chorda tympani) to the tensor tympani muscle in the middle ear of carnivores provides new phylogenetic information. the examination of histological serial sections of 16 carnivore species representing most families revealed two distinct character states concerning the course of the chorda tympani: a hypotensoric state with the nerve running below the insertion tendon of the tensor tympani muscle, and an epitensoric state with the nerve ... | 2010 | 20017207 |
| the earliest modern mongoose (carnivora, herpestidae) from africa (late miocene of chad). | we report on the earliest modern mongooses of africa, from the late miocene (ca. 7 ma) of the hominid locality tm 266, toros-menalla, chad. the material is based on fragmentary dentitions of three individuals. the main diagnostic feature of the chadian species is the great development of the shear in the carnassials, which distinguishes the chadian specimens from all extant herpestids except herpestes and galerella. in comparison with most extinct and extant herpestes, the species from toros-men ... | 2005 | 15864513 |

| identity of haemaphysalis (rhipistoma) muhsamae santos dias, 1954 (acari: ixodidae) and h. (r.) subterra hoogstraal, el kammah & camicas, 1992, parasites of carnivores and rodents in eastern and southern africa. | haemaphysalis (rhipistoma) muhsamae santos dias, 1954 (acari: ixodidae) and h. (r.) subterra hoogstraal, el kammah & camicas, 1992, are redescribed based on males and females. adults of h. muhsamae were mostly collected from various mongooses (carnivora: herpestidae) but also from the striped polecat, ictonyx striatus (perry) (carnivora: mustelidae), serval, leptailurus serval (schreber) (carnivora: felidae), red veld rat, aethomys chrysophilus (de winton) and selinda veld rat, aethomys silinden ... | 2018 | 29974329 |
| camera trap and questionnaire dataset on ecosystem services provided by small carnivores in agro-ecosystems in south africa. | this dataset includes data derived from camera trap surveys and questionnaire surveys relating to small carnivores in agro-ecosystems in the vhembe biosphere reserve, south africa. the data were collected as part of the study "predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems: an undervalued ecosystem service?" (williams et al., 2017a) [1]. camera trap locations were stratified by land use: settlement, crops, and grazing areas. the camera trap data provide an insight into the ecol ... | 2018 | 29900232 |
| social organization of a solitary carnivore: spatial behaviour, interactions and relatedness in the slender mongoose. | the majority of carnivore species are described as solitary, but little is known about their social organization and interactions with conspecifics. we investigated the spatial organization and social interactions as well as relatedness of slender mongooses (galerella sanguinea) living in the southern kalahari. this is a little studied small carnivore previously described as solitary with anecdotal evidence for male associations. in our study population, mongooses arranged in spatial groups cons ... | 2019 | 31218040 |
