Detection of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in free-ranging bison (Bison bison) by PCR.
Bacterial culture is the 'gold standard' for detecting Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection, but is time consuming, laborious, and recovery of organism varies with species of animal tested. PCR has been used for detection of MAP DNA in feces and tissues. We used PCR to detect MAP DNA isolated from tissues from 25 free-ranging North American bison (Bison bison), each w...
متن کاملThe fecal microbiota of semi-free-ranging wood bison (Bison bison athabascae)
BACKGROUND The intestinal tract harbours a complex and diverse microbial population that is important for health, yet has been poorly described in many species. This study explored the fecal microbiota of semi-free-ranging Wood bison (Bison bison athabascae). RESULTS A total of 2081936 16S rRNA (V4) sequences from 40 bison were evaluated. CatchAll analysis of richness predicted a mean of 1068...
متن کاملSerum biochemistry of captive and free-ranging gray wolves (Canis lupus).
Normal serum biochemistry values are frequently obtained from studies of captive sedentary (zoo) or free-ranging (wild) animals. It is frequently assumed that values obtained from these two populations are directly referable to each other. We tested this assumption using 20 captive gray wolves (Canis lupus) in Minnesota, USA, and 11 free-ranging gray wolves in Alaska, USA. Free-ranging wolves h...
متن کاملThe first report of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in free-living European bison (Bison bonasus bonasus Linnaeus).
Toxoplasma gondii Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908 is an apicomplexan parasite with a worldwide distribution. It is of great medical and veterinary importance because it may cause abortion or congenital disease in its intermediate hosts, including man. The European bison, the largest herbivorous animal in Europe, is a species that has been saved from extinction. Twenty-four of 95 examined sera of the ...
متن کاملNovel Paramyxoviruses in Free-Ranging European Bats
The zoonotic potential of paramyxoviruses is particularly demonstrated by their broad host range like the highly pathogenic Hendra and Nipah viruses originating from bats. But while so far all bat-borne paramyxoviruses have been identified in fruit bats across Africa, Australia, South America, and Asia, we describe the detection and characterization of the first paramyxoviruses in free-ranging ...
