Pulmonary Tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis in Captive Siberian Tiger
We report the first case of pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis subsp. caprae in a captive Siberian tiger, an endangered feline. The pathogen was isolated from a tracheal aspirate obtained by bronchoscopy. This procedure provided a reliable in vivo diagnostic method in conjunction with conventional and molecular tests for the detection of mycobacteria.
متن کاملThe Effects of Frequent Electroejaculation on the Semen Characteristics of a Captive Siberian Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)
Artificial insemination (AI) can help to avoid inbreeding and genetic degeneration for sustaining genetically healthy populations of endangered species in captivity. Collection of a sufficient quantity of viable sperm is an essential first step in the AI process. In the present study, we examined the effects of frequent electroejaculation on semen characteristics in a Siberian tiger. We collect...
متن کاملEstimating Potential Fire Danger within the Siberian Tiger Habitat
Forests of the Russian Far East, designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site and home to the Siberian tiger a highly endangered species with approximately 350 adult tigers remaining in the wild, are severely threatened by wildland fires. The frequency of catastrophic fire events is predicted to rise due to global warming trends. The large size and mountainous terrain of the study area and gov...
متن کاملConstruction of cDNA library and preliminary analysis of expressed sequence tags from Siberian tiger
In this study we successfully constructed a full-length cDNA library from Siberian tiger, Panthera tigris altaica, the most well-known wild Animal. Total RNA was extracted from cultured Siberian tiger fibroblasts in vitro. The titers of primary and amplified libraries were 1.30×10(6) pfu/ml and 1.62×10(9) pfu/ml respectively. The proportion of recombinants from unamplified library was 90.5% and...
متن کاملPolymicrobial tenosynovitis with Pasteurella multocida and other gram negative bacilli after a Siberian tiger bite.
Mammalian bites present a considerable clinical problem because they are often associated with bacterial infections. Pasteurella multocida is a microorganism that commonly infects both canine and small feline bites. Zoonotic infections developing after large feline bites have been recognised, although their reports are limited. We describe a 35 year old man who was bitten by a Siberian tiger an...
