Disseminated Visceral Coccidiosis in a White-naped Crane

This presentation reports of a case of disseminated visceral coccidiosis (DVC) in a 4-month old captive white-naped crane (Grus vipio) in The Netherlands. Based on this case a review is presented describing macroscopic and histopathologic changes, therapeutic possibilities It also presents experimental derived information about the cycle of Eimeria gruis and E. reichenowi, as well as molecular ...

Running head: GIZZARDS AND GRITS OF WILD CRANES

We analyzed the gizzards, and grits retained in the gizzards of 41 24 cranes that migrated to the Izumi Plain during the winter of 2015/2016 and died 25 there, either due to accident or disease. These included 31 Hooded Cranes (Grus 26 monacha) and 10 White-naped Cranes (G. vipio). We determined body weight, 27 gizzard weight, total grit weight and number per gizzard, and size, shape, and 28 su...

Why choose Random Forest to predict rare species distribution with few samples in large undersampled areas? Three Asian crane species models provide supporting evidence

Species distribution models (SDMs) have become an essential tool in ecology, biogeography, evolution and, more recently, in conservation biology. How to generalize species distributions in large undersampled areas, especially with few samples, is a fundamental issue of SDMs. In order to explore this issue, we used the best available presence records for the Hooded Crane (Grus monacha, n = 33), ...

Coccidiosis of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) wintering in New Mexico.

The feces of 212 sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) collected in central New Mexico from October 1982 to January 1983 and from October 1983 to January 1984 were examined to determine the prevalence of coccidial oocysts. One hundred forty-five granulomatous nodules from the viscera of 64 cranes and samples of lung, small intestine, and large intestine from 58 birds were examined by light and tran...
