Lipid composition of the spinal cord in the fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1983Spinal cords were removed from ten Egyptian fruit bats Rousettus aegyptiacus and the lipids analysed. The major phosphatides were choline glycerophosphatide (32.3%), ethanolamine glycerophosphatide (29.3%), serine glycerophosphatide (15.2%) and phosphatidylinositol (8.4%). Sphingomyelin accounted for 13.8% of the phospholipid.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in a Closed Colony of Egyptian Fruit Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2009An outbreak of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Yptb) occurred in a closed colony of Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) and resulted in the death of seven bats over a 6-week period. An initial survey of the remaining bats revealed visceral abscessation characteristic of pseudotuberculosis in five of the 12 bats examined (41.7%), inciting ...

Haematology and iron status of the egyptian fruit bat, rousettus aegyptiacus
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 19881. Haematological values and iron status of wild and captive fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) were determined. 2. Plasma iron concentrations were 175 micrograms/dl in wild males, and 286-316 micrograms/dl in captive bats. 3. Total splenic stores were small (around 100 micrograms) in relation to hepatic stores (3 mg) and total haem iron (2.6 mg).

Microvilli of the intestinal mucosal cells of Rousettus aegyptiacus
2017The microvilli in the small intestine of the bat are very long and slender when compared with those in the rat. This morphology results in the absorption surface per unit area in the bat being three times greater than in the rat. No difference could be observed between the thickness of the plasma membrane of the microvilli and the plasma membrane of ...

Fylogeografie of Rousettus aegyptiacus ve Středomoří
2011The genus Rousettus has distributional pattern unique among fruitbats comprising both Asia and Africa and reaching northern distributional limits of the family in Persia, Arabia and Mediterranean basin. This could be ascribed to the ability of echolocation, consequent cave dwelling, and presumably other site-specific adaptations, which enabled ...

Experimental Infection of Egyptian Rousette Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) with Marburg Virus
In this chapter, we detail the procedures used in experimental infection studies of Egyptian rousette bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) with Marburg virus. We start by reviewing study planning and preparation considerations, personal protective equipment use, and then describe general procedures used in all experimental Egyptian rousette bat-Marburg virus ...Amy J, Schuh +2 more

First evidence of the presence of bifidobacteria in Chiroptera (Rousettus aegyptiacus)
2017Aim of the present work is to Investigate Bifidobacteria biodiversity in a particular species of bats, the Rousettus aegyptyacus. They are frugivores, preferring to eat the pulp and juice of very ripe fruit and are found throughout Africa south of the Sahara, in Egypt, and on the coastlines of the Arabian ...

The feeding pattern of the fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus in captivity.
The South African journal of medical sciences, 1977An electrical apparatus was designed to record continuously the feeding activity of either a colony of 30 fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) or single bats in captivity. The endogenous feeding activity rhythm was synchronized by change in the external light-dark cycle.
