Population growth of red lechwe, Kobus leche leche Gray, in the Busanga Plain, Zambia

African Journal of Ecology, 1972
SummaryAn isolated population of red lechwe living in the Busanga Plain, Zambia, has been protected from human hunting since 1948. Probably as a result the population has increased, as indicated by reliable census data. From 1956 to 1972 this increase has very closely fitted an exponential rate; the calculated value of the infinitesimal rate of ...

Serum chemistry profiles for Lechwe waterbucks (Kobus leche): Variations with age and sex

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1993
1. Over an 8-year period, 19 biochemical parameters have been determined at various ages in the blood serum of 92 clinically healthy Lechwe waterbucks (Kobus leche), 33 males and 59 females. 2. Significant differences have been noted with age. In neonates, the lowest values of total proteins, glucose, creatinine, urea, AST, ALT and iron have been noted;

Age- and sex-related differences in haematological values of the Lechwe waterbuck (Kobus Leche)

Comparative Haematology International, 1992
During an 8-year period (1981–1989), basic haematological values were evaluated in a number of clinically healthy Lechwe Waterbucks (Kobus leche) at five development stages. A total of 34 males and 60 females were used in this study.

A REVIEW OF DISEASES OF PARASITES OF THE KAFUE LECHWE (KOBUS LECHE KAFUENSIS)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1991
The diseases of the Kafue lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis) are reviewed in this paper. Kafue lechwe are an important natural resource for Zambia. Bovine tuberculosis is widespread within the lechwe population and they are host to many parasites, especially the warble Strobiloestrous vanzyli.

Evaluation of Endocrine Disruptor Levels in Kafue Lechwe (kobus leche kafuensis) Samples from the Blue Lagoon National Park of Zambia

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2009
The concentrations of endocrine disruptors were determined in 36 liver tissue, serum and whole blood sample extracts drawn from 15 Blue Lagoon National Park Kafue lechwe. Out of 10 analytes evaluated, 89% of the sample extracts showed very high dieldrin concentrations of between 0.08–100 μg/mL in serum, 0.08–24.8 μg/mL in whole blood and 0.08–4.6 μg/g ...

Ciliate Protozoa in the Rumen of Kafue Lechwe, Kobus leche kafuensis, in Zambia, with the Description of Four New Species

The Journal of Protozoology, 1992
ABSTRACT The composition of the rumen ciliate fauna in 76 Kafue lechwe inhabiting a limited area in Zambia was surveyed and five genera containing 24 species with 16 formae belonging to the family Ophryoscolecidae were identified. Four new species belonging to Diplodiniinae were recognized and described as Diplodinium lochinvarense n.

The nucleotide sequence of metallothioneins (MT) in liver of the Kafue lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis) and their potential as biomarkers of heavy metal pollution of the Kafue River

Gene, 2012
The study determined heavy metal concentrations and MT1 nucleotide sequence [phylogeny] in liver of the Kafue lechwe. Applicability of MT1 as a biomarker of pollution was assessed. cDNA-encoding sequences for lechwe MT1 were amplified by RT-PCR to characterize the sequence of MT1 which was subjected to BLAST searching at NCBI.
