Cavy Genetics: An Exploration
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This article is unlikely to help you if your sole focus within the cavy fancy is to make improvements within a well-established, existing breed. Here, tried and tested principles (such as ‘Breed to the best to the best and hope for the best’ and ‘Avoid duplicating faults in the parents and try to ensure that between them they have all the good points you are seeking in the offspring’) probably comprise most of the knowledge of genetics that you need.

Morphology of the lingual papillae in the Patagonian cavy.
We examined the dorsal lingual surfaces of an adult Patagonian cavy (Dolichotis patagonum) by scanning electron microscopy. The tongue of the Patagonian cavy is about 8 cm long and the lingual body had lingual prominence on the posterior third. There were no fungiform papillae in the lingual dorsal surface. The fungiform papillae were observed in both lateral sides of the lingual apex. The fili...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Streptococcus caviae Strain Cavy grass 6T, Isolated from Domesticated Guinea Pig Fecal Samples
Streptococcus caviae strain Cavy grass 6T, isolated from fecal samples of pet guinea pigs, can metabolize a range of plant mono- and disaccharides, as well as polymeric carbohydrates. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, which comprises 2.11 Mb.
متن کاملSerotonergic fibers distribution in the midline and intralaminar thalamic nuclei in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris)
The thalamic midline/intralaminar complex is part of the higher-order thalamus, which receives little sensory input, and instead forms extensive cortico-thalamo-cortical pathways. The midline thalamic nuclei connect with the medial prefrontal cortex and the medial temporal lobe. On the other hand, the intralaminar nuclei connect with the fronto-parietal cortex. Taking into account this connecti...
متن کاملParasitic fauna of domestic cavies in the western highlands of Cameroon (Central Africa).
BACKGROUND Domestic cavies (Cavia porcellus) are increasingly reared in rural areas of Cameroon for meat and income generation. Unfortunately, health constraints due to various pathogens including parasites stand as one of the major obstacles to the development of cavy industry in the country. The main objective of this study was to investigate the species of gastrointestinal parasites in cavy ...
متن کاملA survey for potentially zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites in domestic cavies in Cameroon (Central Africa)
BACKGROUND Farm animals are usually suspected to transmit infections to humans. Domestic cavies (Cavia porcellus) are hosts to a variety of pathogens, some of which are zoonotic. Several parasites including the protozoa Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. may be causative agents of gastrointestinal disorders in domestic cavies and humans. The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence...
