Malaria in a Captive Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) from Florida

Avian Diseases, 1996
Severe anemia and intraerythrocytic stages of an unusual Plasmodium sp. were identified in the blood of a 5-month-old female emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) that had a 4-week history of malaise. Examination of blood taken 3 days prior to the death of the bird revealed a packed cell volume of 10%.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis in a Flock of Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

Avian Diseases, 1992
Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) was diagnosed in a flock of emus in southeastern Louisiana. The outbreak involved juvenile and adult breeders ranging in age from 20 to 36 months, with an attack rate of 76% and a case fatality rate of 87%. The diagnosis was confirmed by isolation and characterization of the viral agent, and by detection of EEE ...

Surface Morphology of the Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) Tongue

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2010
With 18 figuresSummaryDespite numerous morphological studies on the avian tongue, very little meaningful information is currently available on the surface features of this organ using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The only SEM description of a ratite tongue is that of the ostrich, although the descriptions are brief and superficial.

Conjunctival Mycobacteriosis in Two Emus ( Dromaius novaehollandiae )

Veterinary Pathology, 1996
Avian tuberculosis was diagnosed in two young adult female commercial emus ( Dromaius novaehollandiae) with granulomatous conjunctivitis. Histologically, the granulomas appeared typical of avian tuberculosis. Caseonecrotic cores were surrounded by a broad ring of palisading epithelioid macrophages and multinucleate giant cells with a moderate admixture

A histological study of emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) skin

Journal of Zoology, 2004
AbstractThe skin of the emu Dromaius novaehollandiae is described in its entirety by light microscopy for the first time, therefore providing a basis for comparison with the integument of volant birds. The epidermal and dermal layers have a similar arrangement to other avian species.

Fine structure of the retinal photoreceptors of the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

Tissue and Cell, 1998
The retinal photoreceptors of the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) consist of rods, single cones and double (unequal) cones present in a ratio of about 10:1:4 respectively. The rods are long slender cells which are felt to undergo retinomotor movements. The rod outer segment is a stack of bimembranous discs which display shallow peripheral incisures and ...

Properties of emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) albumen proteins

Food Research International, 2012
Abstract The emu, a flightless bird native to Australia, lays eggs that have different properties than hen eggs: emu eggs begin to coagulate at a lower temperature than do hen eggs, and hard-boiled emu albumen has less gel strength than hen albumen.

Thermoregulation in a large bird, the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 1994
The emu is a large, flightless bird native to Australia. Its habitats range from the high snow country to the arid interior of the continent. Our experiments show that the emu maintains a constant body temperature within the ambient temperature range-5 to 45°C. The males regulate their body temperature about 0.5°C lower than the females.
