A NEW PENTASTOMID FROM THE BLACK VULTURE

Journal of Parasitology, 2004
This article describes a new pentastomid species from the abdominal air sacs of a black vulture (Aegypius monachus Linnaeus, 1766) from central Spain. The parasite's morphological characteristics (as shown by light and scanning electron microscopy) suggest that it should be classified in the new genus.

Temperature regulation in the Black Vulture

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1982
Metabolic rate, body temperature, and heat dissipating mechanisms of the Black Vulture were studied under laboratory conditions. The metabolic rate (6.5 W) was close to the predicted one. The body temperature showed considerable variations with air temperature, ranging from 37.7 °C at 15 °C to 42.9 °C at 45 °C. The area of featherless skin on the head

Hematocrit and Protein Concentration of Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture Blood

The Condor, 1988
Blood protein concentration and hematocrit (packed cell volume) values are easily obtained and can be useful in determining the health of trapped or captive birds (Hunter and Powers 1980, Duke and Redig 1984). However, if these parameters are to be useful, there must be baseline data for comparison.

External Parasites of Black Vulture (Gyps africanus)

Direct Research Journal of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science
The review was aimed at recording ectoparasites of African Black Vulture (Gyps africanus). The physical examination resulted in collection of several mites and ticks. High quality images of the mites and ticks were accustomed to capture its identification through the aid of three dimensional (3D) microscopy. Further confirmations of the mites and ticks
