Eighteen red duikers, Cephalophus natalensis, from the Charters Creek Nature Reserve and 2 from Fanies Island Nature Reserve were processed for arthropod parasite recovery. They harboured 8 species of ixodid ticks and 2 lice species. All were infested with Haemaphysalis parmata and the nymphs of Rhipicephalus muehlensi. Two bushpigs, Potamochoerus porcus, from the Ndumu Nature Reserve, 5 from t...

Olecranon bursal involvement due to tuberculosis is not often seen in literature. Involvement is often seen in the subdeltoid and trochanteric bursa, with concomitant skeletal involvement. We report a patient with isolated tuberculous granuloma of the olecranon bursa with no comorbid illness.

The expression of progesterone receptor (PR) and its induction by oestradiol during the embryogenesis of the chick bursa of Fabricius (BF) were studied by immunohistochemistry using three different polyclonal antibodies to the chicken oviduct PR. Mesenchymal cells of the cloacal area surrounding the bursa primordium in controls (without exogenous oestrogen) express the PR between 9 and 11 days ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Shifts in ploidy affect the evolutionary dynamics of genomes in a myriad of ways. Population genetic theory predicts that transposable element (TE) proliferation may follow because the genomewide efficacy of selection should be reduced and the increase in gene copies may mask the deleterious effects of TE insertions. Moreover, in allopolyploids, TEs may further accumulate b...

BACKGROUND Trochanteric bursa injections of corticosteroids and local anesthetics have been shown to provide pain relief for the treatment of greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). However, symptom recurrence and incomplete symptom relief are common. The reason for the variation in response is unclear but may be related to disease-, treatment-, or patient-related factors. OBJECTIVE To det...

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the cases in which a subcoracoid bursa had been detected using various imaging tools, to discuss imaging features among the different modalities, and to correlate our findings with those of associated shoulder joint disorders. In total, 23 cases of subcoracoid bursa diagnosed imaging studies were retrospectively analyzed. Five of these cases...

However, a major obstacle faced by breeders is infestation by the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus and the associated infection by Babesia spp. and Anaplasma marginale. The climate conditions are favorable for the development of Rhipicephalus microplus in nearly all areas of the country (Gonzales 1993). Infestations of these ticks cause yearly losses surpassing US$ 2 billion according to est...
