Isolation of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from the nine-banded armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus, in an endemic area for paracoccidioidomycosis in Colombia.
The microniche of the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidiodes brasiliensisremains undefined in spite of the many attempts to isolate it from natural sources. Until recently, knowledge was also scanty concerning the presence of natural infections in animals; however, in the last decade, the fungus has been repeatedly isolated from the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctusin Brazil. A study aimed ...
متن کاملQuantitative investigation of the annual pattern of follicular development in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
Mature, non-pregnant, female armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) were killed throughout the year (3-6/month, N = 54) and both ovaries were examined for follicular development. All normal and atretic follicles > 358 micrometers were counte. Total number of normal follicles remained constant from January to June but decreased by 50% in the remaining months except in October and November. Follicles ...
متن کاملA novel abundant family of retroposed elements (DAS-SINEs) in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
About half of the mammalian genome is composed of retroposons. Long interspersed elements (LINEs) and short interspersed elements (SINEs) are the most abundant repetitive elements and account for about 21% and 13% of the human genome, respectively. SINEs have been detected in all major mammalian lineages, except for the South American order Xenarthra, also termed Edentata (armadillos, anteaters...
متن کاملExpansion of the tunica albuginea during penile inflation in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
Artificial inflation of corpora cavernosa from the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) showed that the expansion of the tunica albuginea during erection increases both components of flexural stiffness: the second moment of area and Young's modulus of elasticity. Folded tissue and crimped collagen fibers in the tunica albuginea permit its expansion during erection. As the tunica albugin...
متن کاملIdentification of an Attractant for the Nine-Banded Armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus
The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is considered by many to be one of the greatest nuisance wildlife species in the Southeastern United States. Management is difficult because no repellents, toxicants, or fumigants are currently registered for this species; exclusion is laborious because armadillos are adept burrowers; and no effective trapping attractants have been identified. If...
