Improved caging for nine-banded armadillos.

Laboratory animal science, 1976
Impact resistant polyethylene cages were evaluated in these laboratories as replacements for plywood boxes for housing nine-banded armadillos. They were found to be less expensive, easier to sanitize, and to require less than one-third as much floor space per animal as the boxes.

Scent Discrimination by Infant Nine-Banded Armadillos

Journal of Mammalogy, 1994
We tested the scent-discrimination abilities of infant (i.e., young-of-the-year) nine-banded armadillos ( Dasypus novemcinctus ) in two-choice tests. The amount of time spent near and the number of touches (with the snout) directed at pads containing various odors were recorded.

Transmission of Mycobacterium ulcerans to the nine-banded armadillo.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1999
Animal models for Mycobacterium ulcerans infections (Buruli ulcer) include guinea pigs, rats, and mice, but each has limitations in replicating the spectrum of human disease. Here, 19 adult nine-banded armadillos were inoculated intradermally with M. ulcerans.

Spermatogonia and the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium in the nine-banded armadillo

Cell and Tissue Research, 1977
The cycle of the seminiferous epithelium of the nine-banded armadillo can be divided into ten stages. As in most mammals, only one stage is observed per tubular cross-section. The process of spermiogenesis can be divided into thirteen steps according to the development of the acrosomal system and the flagellum.

The salivary glands and salivary bladder of the nine‐banded armadillo

The Anatomical Record, 1963
AbstractHistochemical studies of armadillo salivary glands reveal mucous acini as the predominant secretory unit of the submaxillary and parotid glands. The acidic carbohydrate moiety of the salivary mucin is mostly sialic acid since Vibrio cholera neuraminidase (sialidase) markedly reduces the alcian blue reaction in the acinar cells. Morphologically,

Ultrastructure of the Submandibular Gland of the Nine-Banded Armadillo

Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1976
It has been demonstrated previously that there are variations in the histochemical staining of the acinar cells in the submandibular gland of the armadillo (1). This suggested that the gland may be composed of several lobes, each of which contains different acinar cells.

Variation in Litter Size of Nine-Banded Armadillos

Journal of Mammalogy, 1957
Due to the phenomenon of specific polyembryony, the nine-banded armadillo normally produces monovular quadruplets. One would expect that on occasion some variation in this number would occur. Intrauterine mishap would be expected to reduce the number of young born, and indeed this sometimes happens. Quite rarely one would expect to find …

Sporotrichosis in a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine : official publication of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 1999
An adult female nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) died in the quarantine station of a private Swiss zoo. Multifocal ulcerative skin lesions and multiple hemorrhages in the lungs were found at necropsy. The spleen was enlarged and dark red. Histologically, there was diffuse granulomatous infiltration, including multinucleated giant cells, of ...
