| molecular characterization of cryptosporidium in bats from yunnan province, southwestern china. | the present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and genotypes of cryptosporidium in bats. a total of 247 bats, belonging to rhinolophus sinicus , rousettus leschenaultia, aselliscus stoliczkanus , and hipposideros fulvus , were collected in yunnan province, southwestern china, and the intestinal tissues were examined for cryptosporidium infection by pcr amplification of the small subunit ribosomal rna (ssu rrna). the overall infection rate was 7.7% (95% ci, 4.5 to 11.0%), with r. s ... | 2013 | 23886252 |
| prevalence and genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii infection in bats in southern china. | toxoplasma gondii can infect a wide variety of warm-blooded animals, including bats. limited information on t. gondii infection in bats is available in china. the objective of the present study was to determine prevalence and genetic diversity of t. gondii infection in bats in southern china. a total of 608 bats representing 12 species, including 120 aselliscus stoliczkanus, 59 myotis chinensis, 11 miniopterus schreibersii, 53 rhinolophus affinis, 32 rhinolophus pusillus, 81 hipposideros armiger ... | 2014 | 24813744 |
| karyotypes of seven species of bats from thailand (chiroptera, mammalia). | karyotypes of myotis siligorensis, myotis mystacinus, pipistrellus pulveratus, tylonycteris robustula, miniopterus schreibersi fuliginosus, hipposideros fulvus and aselliscus stoliczkanus from thailand are investigated. | 1985 | 4076410 |
| comparative electron microscopy of chorio-allantoic placental barrier in some indian chiroptera. | in the present study the comparative ultrastructure of the definitive chorio-allantoic placental barrier has been studied in considerable detail in six species of bats, representing six different families and both suborders of chiroptera, by electron microscopy, and these species illustrate different kinds of interhaemal membranes met with among bats. the definitive chorio-allantoic placenta of rousettus leschenaulti is haemodichorial, since the syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast layers are ... | 1990 | 2220288 |
| digestion of cellulose and xylan by symbiotic bacteria in the intestine of the indian flying fox (pteropus giganteus). | bats (order chiroptera) are a widely distributed group of mammals. pteropus giganteus belongs to the suborder megachiroptera. this bat consumes fruits and leaves as their major food. cellulose and xylan are the major composition of leaves. as they consume leaves in their diet, their digestive tract must contain cellulolytic and xylanolytic bacteria which help in the digestion of cellulose and xylan. the cellulolytic and xylanolytic bacteria were isolated and screened on berg's agar containing ce ... | 2004 | 15471682 |
