The use of microsatellite polymorphism in genetic mapping of the ostrich (Struthio camelus)

Gross anatomy of the heart in Ostrich (Struthio camelus)

Today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. Eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. This studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. In the ostrich, fib...

Proventricular-Ventricular Impaction in Ostrich (Struthio Camelus)

In this study from 58 of 4 month male and female ostrich with 3 pieces of dead ostrich during 24 hours and 8 ostrich with dangerous general conditions history of manufactured flock have gotten after prime survey about farm condition, lack of enough space, unsuitable availability to drinkers and feeders and most important, lack of suitable litter for breeding and increase of stress to birds were...

Development of microsatellite markers for parentage typing of chicks in the ostrich Struthio camelus.

Phylogeographic Patterns in Mitochondrial Dna of the Ostrich (struthio Camelus)

--We assayed restriction-site differences in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) within and among populations of the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) throughout much of its African distribution. Little genetic diversity was evident among samples drawn from localities throughout southern Africa (S.c. australis), while deep divisions in the mtDNA gene tree exist between representatives of the eastern (S.c. molyb...

Gastrointestinal parasites of ostrich (Struthio camelus domesticus) raised in Iran

Introduction of ostrich (Struthio camelus domesticus), a new exotic host species to a new ecosystem likeIran, necessitates the study of its infectious diseases including parasitic infestations. For a period of one year, from 2002–03, faecal samples of 254 ostriches on 5 farms located at different parts of Iran, includingGarmsar, Semnan province (n = 85); Nashtaroud, Mazandaran province (n = 29)...
