Veterinary Parasitology, 2011
Hepatozoon species are parasites that infect a wide variety of domestic and wild animals. The objective of the study was to detect the occurrence of Hepatozoon ursi in Indian sloth bears and to characterize the parasite based on phylogenetic analysis of the partial 18S rRNA gene sequence.

Seed Dispersal by the Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus) in South India1
Biotropica, 2002ABSTRACTPrevious studies have shown that sloth bears are mainly myrmecophagous, but in this study, 39 and 83 percent (wet and dry season, respectively) of scats surveyed in South India contained fruits. Seeds from three of six plant species collected from scats germinated faster than seeds not passing through bears; germination percentage was not ...

Human-Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus) Conflicts in Nawada Forest Division, Nawada, Bihar, India
2022ABSTRACTSloth bears (Melursus ursinus) are endemic to the Indian subcontinent and frequently come into conflict with human. Both in Rajauli Wildlife Sanctuary(RWLS) and Kauwkol Forest Range (KFR), sand mining operations create heavy noise during the summer for stone crushing which could be the cause of disturbance in the sloth bear territory and sloth ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the gastrointestinal parasitic infestations in captive bears maintained in Wildlife SOS, Bannerghatta Biological Park, Bengaluru. A total of 85 fecal samples were collected over a period of 12 months from apparently normal/healthy captive bears and examined.

Causes of mortality in sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) housed in U.S. zoos
Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research, 2018A retrospective mortality review was performed of necropsy records from 1905-2015 to determine the mortality trends present for the captive U.S. sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) population. Records were obtained for 68 bears from 17 institutions. Neonates had an average age at death of 7 days (median 0 days).

Diagnosis of mycobacterial infection is paramount important from the public health perspective since treatment and control measures are very significant, particularly in captive animals. In this diagnostic study of Mycobacterium bovis infection in sloth bears (Melursus ursinus), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) had been used with the primer sequence of ...

Spatial transposition tasks assess individuals' ability to represent nonvisible spatial object displacements. Several nonhuman mammal species have been tested on this task including primates, cats, and dogs, but to date, great apes seem the only taxon that has repeatedly and consistently solved spatial transposition tasks.

Dry Season Diet of the Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus) in Hadagarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Eastern India
Proceedings of the Zoological Society, 2013Dry season food habit of sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) in Hadagarh Wildlife Sanctuary was characterized by scat analysis. Importance value index (IVI) of contribution of different food items in the diet of sloth bear was estimated from the undigested food remnants. Percentage of dry weight and IVI score of Ziziphus fruits was highest, termites were the
