probstmayria vivipara was collected from the contents of colons of 6 out 10 donkeys. the redescription of morphology was carried out by the examination of 20 males and 20 females. the dimension of most of the determined characteristics was larger than that previously described by neveu-lemaire (1936), such as the total length of male and female, as well as the length of esophagous and spicules....

Studying the anatomical features of the middle ear of donkey was significant among scanty available literatures. The work was established on 14 formalized heads and dried skulls from both sexes of healthy donkeys of different ages. The samples were intended for the bony structural examination and dissection. Extraction of the auditory ossicles was difficult due to the rigidity of the temporal b...

Equines are the most important animals in the farming and transport systems of Ethiopia. Though disease and related problems (eg, injuries, acute illness) are major constraints to their performance, information emanating from systematic investigation is almost non-existent. A study to determine causes and associated factors of external injuries was carried out in Awassa in southern Ethiopia on ...

ABSTRACT: The present study described the prevalence and factors associated with seropositivity for anti-Brucella spp. antibodies in working equids semiarid regionofnortheastern Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 322 (76 horses, 155 mules 91 donkeys). Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) was used as a screening method. Samples that reactive RBPT tested confirmation using 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME...

in the early 90’s, donkeys were in danger of extinction as species. in italy, there were counted few heads of many breeds but, unfortunately, others had already been extinct. with the donkey in danger, there was a risk of disappearance of a part of ecosystem, a biodiversity particularly significant as it represents humans’ history. all countries around the mediterranean sea, countries of southe...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the shape of incus in horse and donkey by geometric morphometric method evaluate differences between horse’s donkey’s incus. The left bone 5 adult horses donkeys were used study. Incus photographed at same lateral direction. Thirteen homologous landmarks marked from photographs using TpsUtil (Version 1.79) TpsDig2 2.31) software. As a result first princi...

Equid herpesvirus 8 (EHV-8), formerly known as asinine herpesvirus 3, is an alphaherpesvirus that is closely related to equid herpesviruses 1 and 9 (EHV-1 and EHV-9). The pathogenesis of EHV-8 is relatively little studied and to date has only been associated with respiratory disease in donkeys in Australia and horses in China. A single EHV-8 genome sequence has been generated for strain Wh in C...

A Rift Valley fever outbreak occurred in Mauritania in 1998. Seroepidemiologic and virologic investigation showed active circulation of the Rift Valley fever virus, with 13 strains isolated, and 16% (range 1.5%-38%) immunoglobulin (Ig) M-positivity in sera from 90 humans and 343 animals (sheep, goats, camels, cattle, and donkeys). One human case was fatal.
