Low coverage sequencing of two Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) genomes
BACKGROUND There are three species of elephant that exist, the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and two species of African elephant (Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis). The populations of all three species are dwindling, and are under threat due to factors, such as habitat destruction and ivory hunting. The species differ in many respects, including in their morphology and response to d...
متن کاملClostridial myonecrosis clinically resembling black quarter in an Indian elephant (Elephas maximus).
An Indian elephant (Elephas maximus) which died of acute fatal myonecrosis was examined to determine the aetiology of the infection. The causative organism was identified as Clostridium perfringens type A. Out of five genes encoding for major toxins (cpa, cpb, etx, iA, and cpe genes) the isolate was found to harbour the cpa gene only, as tested by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. It flanks ...

The Indian elephant (Elephas maximus) is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian elephant and native to mainland Asia. Since 1986, Elephas maximus has been listed as Endangered by IUCN. The Elephas maximus are an ecologically and economically important species in many Indian habitats. However, illegal hunting, poaching, habitat destruction and other factors, especially in wild elephant ...
متن کاملIdentification of shedders of elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses among Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in Switzerland
Elephants, particularly Asian (Elephas maximus), are threatened by lethal elephant hemorrhagic disease (EHD) due to elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHV). At least five of seven known EEHV types have been associated to EHD, with types 1, 4, and 5 predominantly affecting Asian elephants. In Switzerland, at least three Asian elephants have been lost due to EHD but nothing is known about ...
متن کاملIsolation and culture of primary adult skin fibroblasts from the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
Background Primary cultures from Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) allow scientists to obtain representative cells that have conserved most of their original characteristics, function, physiology and biochemistry. This technique has thus gained significant importance as a foundation for further cellular, cell biology and molecular research. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe condi...
