Anatomical Features of the Tongue of Two Chiropterans Endemic in the Egyptian Fauna; The Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) and Insectivorous Bat (Pipistrellus kuhlii)

Acta Histochemica, 2020
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The current study aimed to investigate the tongue (lingual) morphometry, histology, and histochemistry of two chiropterans endemic in the Egyptian fauna, and having different feeding preferences. The tongues of nine adult individuals of each species were utilized in our investigation.

A VASECTOMY TECHNIQUE FOR EGYPTIAN FRUIT BATS (ROUSETTUS AEGYPTIACUS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2004
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats in captivity reproduce well and contraceptive techniques are needed. In initial attempts at vasectomy using a prescrotal approach, it was difficult to identify the mesoductus deferens. The technique described here uses a scrotal approach with exteriorization of the testis, followed by ...

Egyptian fruit bats do not preferentially roost with their relatives

Journal of Zoology, 2020
AbstractRoosts provide bats with place for daytime sheltering, protection from weather and predators, mating, and social interaction. Movements between multiple roosts are often necessary, either due to limited roost life, changes in roost conditions or demands at different times of the year.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in a Closed Colony of Egyptian Fruit Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2009
An outbreak of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Yptb) occurred in a closed colony of Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) and resulted in the death of seven bats over a 6-week period. An initial survey of the remaining bats revealed visceral abscessation characteristic of pseudotuberculosis in five of the 12 bats examined (41.7%), inciting ...

PAPILLOMAVIRUS-ASSOCIATED BASOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA IN AN EGYPTIAN FRUIT BAT (ROUSETTUS AEGYPTIACUS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2006
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) A 5-yr-old female Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) had a small raised pigmented mass removed from the lateral canthus of the left eye. Six additional variably sized, raised, smooth to cauliflower-like skin masses were observed randomly distributed throughout the left wing membranes.

Haematology and iron status of the egyptian fruit bat, rousettus aegyptiacus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1988
1. Haematological values and iron status of wild and captive fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) were determined. 2. Plasma iron concentrations were 175 micrograms/dl in wild males, and 286-316 micrograms/dl in captive bats. 3. Total splenic stores were small (around 100 micrograms) in relation to hepatic stores (3 mg) and total haem iron (2.6 mg).

Ethanol ingestion affects flight performance and echolocation in Egyptian fruit bats

Behavioural Processes, 2010
Ethanol, a potential toxin for vertebrates, is present in all fleshy fruits and its content increases as the fruit ripens. Previously, we found that the marginal value of food for Egyptian fruit bats, Rousettus aegyptiacus, decreases when its ethanol content exceeds 1%.

Auditory-visual information transfer in echolocating Egyptian fruit bats

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
Egyptian fruit bats have good vision but can also accurately echolocate relying on their well-developed auditory system. We asked two questions: 1. Can these bats acquire a mental image of an object using vision (or hearing) alone? 2. If such a mental image has been formed, can it be transferred from one sensory modality (e.g., vision) to another (e.g.,
