Observations on the Incidence, Epidemiology, Control and Economic Importance of Gastro-Intestinal Parasites of Sheep and Goats in Iran

SUMMARY RESEARCH REPORT: BRITISH VETERINARY ASSOCIATION Comparative observations on strongyle parasites in domestic horses (Equus ferus caballus), Grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) and Plains zebra (Equus quagga boehmi) in Kenya – a pilot study

Grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) populations declined dramatically in the last decades of the 20 century. Though now stabilising, there has been an estimated 50-68% drop in numbers over the past 18 years (IUCN, 2012). While there are many threats facing the species, the role of parasite burdens in this decline is poorly understood. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy provides ex situ or marginal (transition ...

Stable isotope ecology of the endangered Grevy's zebra (Equus Grevyi) in Laikipia, Kenya

Once common in East Africa, Grevy’s zebras (Equus grevyi) are now highly endangered for unknown reasons. They share habitat with Plains zebras (Equus quagga), which are ecologically similar but not endangered. We suspect that previously unobserved diet differences may be involved in the two species’ differential conservation status. This study used 13 C/ 12 C and 15 N/ 14 N stable isotope ratio...
