Hematologic parameters of the nine-banded armadillo,Dasypus novemcinctus
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972Abstract 1. Normal values for the hematologic parameters of the nine-banded armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ) were determined. The results agree well with those of other authors. 2. Blood chemistry values are reported for the first time. Mean values for these are generally close to human normal ranges except for LDH and SGOT, which are both ...

The chromosomes of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus
Chromosoma, 1962The chromosomes of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, were studied using cultured peripheral leukocytes, tissue cells and direct preparation of male germ cells. The diploid number was found to be 64 in the blood and tissue cells, the haploid number was 32 in the testicular preparations.

Order Edentata (Xenarthra), the “toothless” mammals, consists of only three families: armadillos, sloths, and anteaters. Edentata flourished in the Lower Tertiary Age (30 MYA), but only these three genera have survived. Until recently, there were a number of species with and without teeth that were confined to South America.

Determinants of Aggression in Nine-Banded Armadillos
Journal of Mammalogy, 1994Potential determinants of aggression in nine-banded armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus , were identified by comparing the sex, age, and reproductive status of initiators and recipients of aggression in a marked population in southern Texas. Males and females were equally likely to initiate and receive aggression.

Improved caging for nine-banded armadillos.
Laboratory animal science, 1976Impact 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.

FAN-TAILED WARBLER FORAGING WITH NINE-BANDED ARMADILLOS
The Wilson Bulletin, 2002Abstract We report Fan-tailed Warblers (Euthlypis lachrymosa) foraging in association with the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in El Imposible National Park, El Salvador. Although the warbler is known to forage opportunistically at ant swarms, this is the first report of commensal feeding with a mammal.

Ultrastructure of the salivary bladder of the nine-banded armadillo
Cell and Tissue Research, 1976The nine-banded armadillo possesses a salivary bladder which is a dilated portion of the main duct of the submandibular gland at its origin. The wall of the bladder is composed of an epithelium, a submucosa and a thick coat of skeletal muscle. The ultrastructure of the epithelium reveals that it is complex and consists of three cell types: 1) principal

Total calorimetry and temperature regulation in the nine‐banded armadillo
Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1989Cold exposure in the nine‐banded armadillo causes vigorous shivering and a rise in core temperature (Te). The increase in metabolic rate and Te depends upon exposure temperature, but may be as much as six times and 3 °C respectively (Johansen 1961). These findings might indicate an insensitivity to Te, which is puzzling since internal temperature is ...

Spontaneous systemic sporotrichosis in nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus)
Medical Mycology, 1982Two captive, adult, male, nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) were diagnosed as having spontaneous systemic sporotrichosis. Cultures, histopathology, and immunofluorescence were used to diagnose the disease. Sporotrichosis has not been recorded previously in armadillos.

Ultrastructure of the parotid gland of the nine‐banded armadillo
The Anatomical Record, 1977AbstractThe parotid gland of the nine‐banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was examined by electron microscopy. In general, the ultrastructural morphology of this gland appears similar to that described in other species. The most unusual feature of the gland is that the secretory granules of the acinar cells contain a wide variety of substructures ...
