situation-based survey of avian influenza viruses in possible "bridge" species of wild and domestic birds in nigeria.the highly pathogenic avian influenza (h5n1 subtype) recurred in nigeria after 9 months period of no reported case. a critical look at possible sources of the re-occurrence was desirable. the objective of this study was to determine whether avian influenza viruses were present at reasonably detectable levels (0.5%) in possible "bridge" species of wild and domestic birds. the study was conducted in 8 nigerian states. a total of 403 birds from 40 species were sampled. virus isolation was done in e ...201223074668
allozymic and biological characters of trichinella pseudospiralis isolates from free-ranging animals.to evaluate biological and biochemical variability in nonencapsulated trichinella isolates, biological and allozymic studies were conducted on isolates of trichinella collected from a raptoral bird (aquila rapax) and a fox (vulpes corsac) in kazakhstan and from a dasyurid marsupial (dasyurus maculatus) on the island of tasmania, australia. allozyme profiles of bird and marsupial isolates showed close similarity with the type isolate of trichinella pseudospiralis. the avian and fox isolates succe ...19921491304
leucocytozoon spp. infection in accipitriformes birds in iran.leucocytozoon spp. (haemosporida, leucocytozoidae) are vector-borne parasites of various birds. leucocytozoon can infect different reticuloendothelial tissues and blood cells of birds. in this study peripheral blood samples were collected from accipitriformes birds [three marsh harriers (circus aeruginosus) and one tawny eagle (aquila rapax)] in one birds' garden in iran. blood films were observed for identification of hemoparasites. all samples were infected by different leucocytozoon species. ...201728848263
ileo-ceco-rectal intussusception requiring intestinal resection and anastomosis in a tawny eagle (aquila rapax).a 23-year-old male tawny eagle (aquila rapax) was examined because of sudden onset of lethargy, regurgitation, and hematochezia. an intestinal obstruction was suspected based on radiographic findings, and an ileo-ceco-rectal intussusception was confirmed by coelioscopy. a 14.3-cm section of intestine was resected before an intestinal anastomosis was done. coelomic endoscopic examination confirmed a postsurgical complication of adhesions between the intestinal anastomosis and the dorsal coelomic ...201525867669
calcinosis circumscripta in the digital extensor tendon of a tawny eagle (aquila rapax).a 9-month-old, captive-bred, female tawny eagle (aquila rapax) presented with a nonpainful, firm, nodular structure attached to the digital extensor tendon. the mass was surgically resected without complications and was submitted for histopathologic examination. grossly, cut surfaces of the lesion had chalky-white deposits. histologically, the resected tissue was identified as calcinosis circumscripta. no recurrence was observed in follow-up after 6 and 12 months. to our knowledge, this is the f ...201628107071
verreaux's eagles (aquila verreauxi) as potential predators of hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas hamadryas) in eritrea.in this paper we describe for the first time encounters of verreaux's eagle (aquila verreauxi) with hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas hamadryas) in the central highlands of eritrea (15 degrees 22' n, 38 degrees 58' e, 2300 m). during 12 h of observation on 4 days, we observed four encounters of verreaux's eagles with baboons, of which three can be classified as possible attacks. the baboons always responded with alarm calls. in three cases some immatures rushed to adult group members and clung ...19999888722
