The aim of this study was to evaluate sperm quality following separation and selection using a silane-coated silica colloid method (PureSperm ® ) or Percoll ® . Frozen/thawed sperm from buffalo bulls (n=5) were assigned to two groups. The first group was separated using a Percoll ® discontinuous gradient (45 and 90%) and the second group by a single layer of PureSperm ® . Sperm motility, concen...

BACKGROUND Understanding the epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), including roles played by different hosts, is essential for improving disease control. The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a reservoir for the SAT serotypes of FMD virus (FMDV). Large buffalo populations commonly intermingle with livestock in Kenya, yet earlier studies have focused on FMD in the domestic livestock, ...

Water buffalo; Interleukin 8; Endometritis; Gene expression; Polymorphic sites Abstract River buffalo (Bubalus bubalis bubalis) with a population over 135 million heads is an important livestock. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a member of the chemokine family and is an important chemoattractant for neutrophils associated with a wide variety of inflammatory diseases such as endometritis. Tissue samples...

Buffalo-adapted Theileria parva causes Corridor disease in cattle. Strict control measures therefore apply to the movement of buffalo in South Africa and include mandatory testing of buffalo for the presence of T. parva. The official test is a real-time hybridization PCR assay that amplifies the V4 hypervariable region of the 18S rRNA gene of T. parva, T. sp. (buffalo) and T. sp. (bougasvlei). ...
