Mycobacteria in Terrestrial Small Mammals on Cattle Farms in Tanzania
The control of bovine tuberculosis and atypical mycobacterioses in cattle in developing countries is important but difficult because of the existence of wildlife reservoirs. In cattle farms in Tanzania, mycobacteria were detected in 7.3% of 645 small mammals and in cow's milk. The cattle farms were divided into "reacting" and "nonreacting" farms, based on tuberculin tests, and more mycobacteria...
متن کاملSmall Mammals
A variety of terrestrial small mammals with diverse size, form, geographic range, and ecological niche inhabit southern forests. Some are highly specialized for their environment, such as the semi-aquatic species or fossorial species, such as moles. Some, such as the cotton rat, are widely distributed throughout the region and others highly restrictive in their range and habitat. Because of the...
متن کاملTerrestrial small mammals as reservoirs of Mycobacterium ulcerans in benin.
Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer (BU), is considered an environmental pathogen. Different mycobacteria were detected in 68 (12%) out of 565 small mammals collected in areas in Benin where BU is endemic. Although M. ulcerans was not found, we suggest that more research on M. ulcerans in African (small) mammals is needed.
متن کاملHematologic data on some small mammals.
By \V. C. YOUAYr, L. D. FAY, D. L. HowE AND H. D. HARTE K NOWLEDGE of the normal physiology of the various species of wild animals is essential for the study of disease, nutrition, reproduction and related subjects bearing on the scientific management of game animals. In the course of our work on disease and nutrition in game species we have frequently been hampered by a lack of information on ...
متن کاملForelimb bone curvature in terrestrial and arboreal mammals
It has recently been proposed that the caudal curvature (concave caudal side) observed in the radioulna of terrestrial quadrupeds is an adaptation to the habitual action of the triceps muscle which causes cranial bending strains (compression on cranial side). The caudal curvature is proposed to be adaptive because longitudinal loading induces caudal bending strains (increased compression on the...
