Gross and Morphometric Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System of Bats (Eidolon helvum)
The present study aimed at examining the gross and morphometry of the reproductive tract of the male bats (Eidolon helvum). Thirty male bats (adults n = 17 and juveniles n = 13) were captured using net, weighed, aged using relative ossification of the wing bone, and dissected for gross examination. Morphologically, the mean body weight and forearm length in both adults and juveniles were 235.31...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Paramyxoviruses in Frugivorous Eidolon helvum Bats in Zambia
In this study, we describe the detection of novel paramyxoviruses from the Eidolon helvum species of fruit bats. We extracted RNA from 312 spleen samples from bats captured in Zambia over a period of 4 years (2008-2011). Semi-nested RT-PCR detected a total of 25 (8%) positive samples for paramyxoviruses which were then directly sequenced and analyzed using phylogenetic analysis. Among the posit...
متن کاملBat trait, genetic and pathogen data from large-scale investigations of African fruit bats, Eidolon helvum
Bats, including African straw-coloured fruit bats (Eidolon helvum), have been highlighted as reservoirs of many recently emerged zoonotic viruses. This common, widespread and ecologically important species was the focus of longitudinal and continent-wide studies of the epidemiological and ecology of Lagos bat virus, henipaviruses and Achimota viruses. Here we present a spatial, morphological, d...
متن کاملSeroepidemiological Prevalence of Multiple Species of Filoviruses in Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum) Migrating in Africa.
Fruit bats are suspected to be a natural reservoir of filoviruses, including Ebola and Marburg viruses. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the viral glycoprotein antigens, we detected filovirus-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies in 71 of 748 serum samples collected from migratory fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) in Zambia during 2006-2013. Although antibodies to African filoviruse...
متن کاملAnatomy and physiology. The male reproductive system.
The male reproductive hormonal axis Maintenance of normal reproductive function is depend ent on the coordinated release of hormones in the hyp o thalamic−pituitary−testis cascade. Gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH) is released in a pulsatile pattern into the pitu itary portal blood system from neuroendocrine cells in the basal hypothalamus and acts to stimulate gonadotropes in the anter...
