Quantitative studies on spermatogenesis in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Quantitative studies on spermatogenesis in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

The qualitative behaviour of spermatogenetic cells and Sertoli cells in the buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) was studied by identifying 8 stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycle based on meiotic division and morphology as well as the position of more mature spermatids. To achieve better results, stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 were sub-divided. Six peaks of spermatogonial mitosis suggested six generations...

Congenital Malformations in River Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Frequency of Toxoplasmosis in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in Trinidad

Toxoplasmosis has been reported to occur in several animals and humans causing different clinical manifestations. The study was conducted to determine the frequency of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies (IgG) in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) across farms in Trinidad using a latex agglutination test. Of a total of 333 water buffalo tested, 26 (7.8%) were seropositive for T. gondii antibodies. Seropo...
