| viruses recovered from mosquitoes and wildlife serum collected in the murray valley of south-eastern australia, february 1974, during an epidemic of encephalitis. | pools of mosquitoes collected in the murray valley in february, 1974, during an encephalitis epidemic yielded 239 isolates of 11 distinct viruses. these included 39 isolates of mve virus, an incriminated causative agent of encephalitis in man, and 111 isolates of kunjin virus, a probable causative agent. an additional isolate of mve virus was recovered from the serum of a white-faced heron, ardea novaehollandiae. the other 9 viruses comprised the alpha-viruses ross river and sindbis, the flavivi ... | 1982 | 6299258 |
| the influence of climate variability on numbers of three waterbird species in western port, victoria, 1973-2002. | seasonal and annual movements of australian waterbirds are generally more complex than those of their northern hemisphere counterparts, and long-term data are needed to understand their relationships with climatic variables. this paper explores a long-term (1973-2002) set of waterbird counts from coastal victoria and relates them to climatic data at local and continental scales. three species (black swan cygnus atratus, white-faced heron egretta novaehollandiae and grey teal anas gracilis) were ... | 2006 | 16435107 |
| description of tylodelphys darbyi n. sp. (trematoda: diplostomidae) from the threatened australasian crested grebe (podiceps cristatus australis, gould 1844) and linking of its life-cycle stages. | species of the genus tylodelphys (diplostomidae) have a cosmopolitan distribution. metacercariae of these species infect the eye, brain, pericardial sac or body cavity of fish second intermediate hosts, and the adults are found in piscivorous birds of many orders. an unnamed species of tylodelphys from the eyes of bullies (gobiomorphus cotidianus) was characterized molecularly and morphologically as a metacercaria in a previous study, in which it was predicted that the adult of this species woul ... | 2019 | 30789114 |
