Growth and development of the ovary and small follicle pool from mid fetal life to pre-puberty in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Stansfield, Fiona Jane; Nothling, Johan Oliviette; Allen, William R. (BioMed Central, 2012-07-23)

BACKGROUND Follicle numbers and developing ovarian morphology, particularly with reference to the presence of interstitial tissue, are intimately linked within the ovary of the African elephant during the period spanning ...
Haemoglobin types in African cattle

Osterhoff, Diedrich Richard (AOSIS OpenJournals, 1975-06)

The migration of domesticated animals in Africa is of particular interest to the anthropologist and ethnologist in that it may provide valuable information concerning the migration of human tribes that accompanied these ...
Hematocrit changes in healthy periparturient bitches that underwent elective cesarean section

De Cramer, Kurt Guido Mireille; Joubert, Kenneth E.; Nothling, Johan Oliviette (Elsevier, 2016-09)

Hematocrits were measured before each of 406 cesarean sections performed on 324 bitches at term and again after crystalloid fluid therapy administered at 35 mL/kg over 1½– 2 hours starting from induction. The mean ...
High seroconversion rate to Rift Valley fever virus in cattle and goats in far northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in the absence of reported outbreaks

Van den Bergh, Carien; Venter, Estelle Hildegard; Swanepoel, Robert; Thompson, P.N. (Peter N.) (Public Library of Science, 2019-05-03)

BACKGROUND : Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease characterized in South Africa by large epidemics amongst ruminant livestock at very long, irregular intervals, mainly in the central interior. ...
High seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever phlebovirus in domestic ruminants and African buffaloes in Mozambique shows need for intensified surveillance

Moiane, Belisario; Mapaco, Lourenco; Thompson, P.N. (Peter N.); Berg, Mikael; Albihn, Ann; Fafetine, Jose (Taylor and Francis Open, 2017)

INTRODUCTION : Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arthropod-borne disease that affects both animals and humans. RVF phlebovirus (RVFPV) is widespread in Africa and Arabian Peninsula. In Mozambique, outbreaks were reported in ...
Histo-morphology of the uterus and early placenta of the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and comparative placentome morphology of the African buffalo and cattle (Bos taurus)
