| [description of p. cyclopsi n. sp. a parasite of the microchiropteran bat hipposideros cyclops in gabon (author's transl)]. | p. cyclopsi sp. nov. is characterized by the small size of the asexual stages and by gametocytes belonging to the type "malariae". it is related to p. anomaluri and the hosts of both species share the same habitat: hollow trees of the tropical forest. by the ancientness of its vertebrate host and its relationship with the "malariae" group of haemosporidia p. cyclopsi is interpreted as a primitive species. | 1978 | 697287 |
| absent or low rate of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus of bats (chiroptera). | bats are the only flying mammals and have well developed navigation abilities for 3d-space. even bats with comparatively small home ranges cover much larger territories than rodents, and long-distance migration by some species is unique among small mammals. adult proliferation of neurons, i.e., adult neurogenesis, in the dentate gyrus of rodents is thought to play an important role in spatial memory and learning, as indicated by lesion studies and recordings of neurons active during spatial beha ... | 2007 | 17520014 |
| [trypanosoma (megatrypanum) lizae n. sp.: a trypanosome with giant forms from the michrochiroptera hipposideros cyclops, in gabon (author's transl)]. | trypanosoma (megatrypanum) lizae n. sp.: trypanosome with giant forms reaching a length of 1400 micrometers from the microchiroptera hipposideros cyclops in gabon. because of the peculiar morphology of giant forms and the characteristics of small individuals it is placed in a new species within the subgenus megatrypanum. | 2004 | 539717 |
| [dionisia bunoi n. g. n. sp., haemoproteidae parasite of the microchiropteran bat hipposideros cyclops in gabon (author's transl)]. | dionisia bunoi ng. g., n. sp. is characterized by:--a) sexual dimorphism of gametocytes, macrogametocyte of the falciparum type, microgametocyte of the type malariae:--b) schizonts developing in the lumen of liver blood vessels inside a greatly hypertrophied host cell; their size remains moderate and their cytoplasm is not intensely basophilic as is usually in the young stages of haemosporidia of mammals. the genus has morphological characters in common with each of the 4 other genera of haemopr ... | 2006 | 6773461 |
| relatives of rubella virus in diverse mammals. | since 1814, when rubella was first described, the origins of the disease and its causative agent, rubella virus (matonaviridae: rubivirus), have remained unclear1. here we describe ruhugu virus and rustrela virus in africa and europe, respectively, which are, to our knowledge, the first known relatives of rubella virus. ruhugu virus, which is the closest relative of rubella virus, was found in apparently healthy cyclops leaf-nosed bats (hipposideros cyclops) in uganda. rustrela virus, which is a ... | 2020 | 33029010 |
