Observations on the sense of taste in the armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)

Animal Behaviour, 1967
Summary The armadillo was observed to be indifferent to solutions preferred by many other species and described by man as ‘sweet’ (saccharin and sucrose). Furthermore, these animals avoided maltose, a sugar which is selected by rats, dogs and man. They were also found to be indifferent to quinine hydrochloride at a concentration which is rejected by ...

Epithalamus of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986
The epithalamus of embryonic, neonatal and adult nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was examined for evidence of pineal-like tissue. The evagination of the diencephalic roof (the anlage of the epiphysis) was not found in any embryonic specimens.

Role of the armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus in the epidemiology of paracoccidioidomycosis

Mycopathologia, 1998
A study conducted in a rural area of Ibiá, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where Paracoccidioides brasiliensis was recently isolated from soil, sought to determine if the armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus developed paracoccidioidomycosis. Out of 21 armadillos captured in the area, one had a lung granuloma containing fungal cells attributable to those of P.

Hematologic parameters of the nine-banded armadillo,Dasypus novemcinctus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972
Abstract 1. Normal values for the hematologic parameters of the nine-banded armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ) were determined. The results agree well with those of other authors. 2. Blood chemistry values are reported for the first time. Mean values for these are generally close to human normal ranges except for LDH and SGOT, which are both ...

Helminths of Armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus, in Eastern Texas

The Journal of Parasitology, 1946
Through the kindness of Mr. Rollin H. Baker, Field Biologist for the Texas State Game, Fish, and Oyster Commission, a series of eight armadillos from eastern Texas was provided for helminthological examination. Although the armadillo is almost exclusively insectivorous, and remains of insects of many different kinds were found in the contents of the ...

HORMONAL STEROIDS IN THE ARMADILLO, DASYPUS NOVEMCINCTUS

Acta Endocrinologica, 1967
ABSTRACT Supernatant preparations of armadillo placental homogenate were incubated with testosterone-4-14C, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione-4-14C, dehydroepiandrosterone-4-14C, 16α-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone-7α-3H and pregn-5-enolone-4-14C, using Ryan's classical techniques for tissue preparation and incubation.

Prevalence and Identity of Sarcocystis Infections in Armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1996
Little is known about the prevalence or identity of Sarcocystis species infecting armadillos in North America. Sarcocysts were observed in the tongues of 23 (96%) of 24 armadillos collected between 1989 and 1994 from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas.

The motor cortex and corticospinal tract of the Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1971
Abstract The neocortex of the armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, was explored by electrical stimulation and the motor area determined to be caudal to the supraorbital sulcus. Movements of the tongue, lips, pinna, scalp, shoulder, back, fore-limb and, to some extent, hind-limb could be elicited.

SPONTANEOUS RENAL DISEASE IN LOUISIANA ARMADILLOS (Dasypus novemcinctus)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1977
Renal lesions were present in 34 (68%) of 50 armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) collected for a survey of the prevalence of leptospires in Louisiana wildlife. The renal lesions were not associated with elevations in the renal function tests of blood urea nitrogen or serum creatinine or with consistent serologic or cultural evidence of leptospires.

Naturally acquired rabies in an armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in Texas

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989
The first case of rabies in an armadillo is reported. The rabies fluorescent-antibody test and mouse inoculation procedure were used to substantiate the presence of the virus. The Centers for Disease Control authenticated our findings and was able to determine the source of infection by monoclonal antibody typing.
