Eye Lesions in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Research in Veterinary Science, 1969
SUMMARY The eyes were examined from 300 African elephants, shot in Tsavo National Park in Kenya during 1966; 42% of the animals exhibited lesions of follicular conjunctivitis and 5.4% showed severe lens degeneration, which was always accompanied by degenerative changes in the retina.

Structural characterization of oligosaccharides in the milk of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana africana)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008
The oligosaccharides present in the milk of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana africana), collected 4 days post partum, were separated by size exclusion-, anion exchange- and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before characterisation by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were identified.

Loxodonta africana (African elephant)

1971
Since most chromosomes are difficult to classify, pairing is highly subjective. However, identification of the X chromosome offers no difficulty.

Heat exchange by the pinna of the african elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1992
1. Surface temperatures of the pinnae of four female African elephants were measured at ambient temperatures between 14 and 32 degrees C using infrared thermography. Instantaneous heat losses calculated using those values ranged from 10.67 to 76.2 W under the observed conditions. 2.

Serum enzyme activities in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Experientia, 1976
The serum activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase have been measured in the African elephant. In general, the values were broadly comparable with those of man except that alanine aminotransferase was much lower and creatine phosphokinase higher.

Defaecation by African elephants (Loxodonta africana africana (Blumenbach))

African Journal of Ecology, 1972
SummaryA study of defaecation in the African elephant was carried out at the Voi headquarters of the Tsavo (East) National Park. Four orphaned animals aged between 1 and 10 years were observed for 4 days and 3 nights. During the day the time and weight of each individual's defaecation was recorded while at night only the time of defaecation. Details of

Plasma Preparation and Storage for African Elephants (Loxodonta africana)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2009
The use of plasma as a life-saving tool for neonatal African elephants (Loxodonta africana) that failed passive transfer of immunoglobulins is proposed. The methodology of blood sampling, plasma extraction, and plasma storage is described. Values for cellular component sedimentation and biochemical parameters of extracted plasma that was collected from

Growth of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana)

African Journal of Ecology, 1972
SummaryThe three‐stage desk calculation of the von Bertalanffy equation to describe growth in height and weight with age in the elephant is compared with a new approach to calculating the three coefficients in the function by a computer. The two methods give different results with respect to the weight/age calculations.

Neuronal morphology in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) neocortex

Brain Structure and Function, 2010
Virtually nothing is known about the morphology of cortical neurons in the elephant. To this end, the current study provides the first documentation of neuronal morphology in frontal and occipital regions of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana). Cortical tissue from the perfusion-fixed brains of two free-ranging African elephants was stained with ...
