  1. 1. Variation in neonate roe deer home range size

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Charlotte Öhman; [2017]
    Nyckelord :home range size; roe deer; Capreolus capreolus; neonate; fawn; roe deer density; fox density; agricultural land; Sweden; movement; body mass;

    Sammanfattning : Home range determinants have been well-studied in many species, as is the case for adult roe deer. However, drivers of neonate roe deer home range size have not been covered in previous research. Earlier studies demonstrate a negative relationship between both increasing food availability and population density on adult roe deer home range size. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cross-sectional study of bovine anaplamosis in South-western Uganda : the impact of wildlife-livestock interface

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Författare :Mikael Palmfjord; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Anaplasma marginale; bovine anaplasmosis; cattle; Uganda; wildlife-livestock inferface;

    Sammanfattning : The tick-borne disease bovine anaplasmosis is primarily caused by Anaplasma marginale. A variety of wild animals act as reservoirs for A. marginale, but the understanding of their role in the epidemiology of A. marginale is yet poor. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cross-sectional study of the prevalence of Babesia bigemina in Uganda : wildlife-livestock interface at and around LMNP

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Författare :Anna Schischke; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Babesia bigemina; wildlife-livestock interface; cattle; Uganda; vilda djur; nötkreatur;

    Sammanfattning : Ticks and the diseases they transmit are of major importance throughout the world. In Uganda, cattle are the most important livestock from an economic point of view. Livestock keepers fear bi-directional transmission of tick-borne pathogens between their livestock and wild animals. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Does type of habitat affect tick-burden in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) neonates?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Biovetenskap

    Författare :Thomas Berggren; [2015]
    Nyckelord :roe deer; capreolus capreolus; roe deer fawns; ticks; habitat;

    Sammanfattning : This study was investigating the relationships between: 1) habitat type and tick abundance, 2) habitat type and tick load on fawns, and 3) tick load and fawn survival. During two years and in two study areas, 105 fawns (57 fawns in Bogesund and 48 fawns in Grimsö) have been captured by hand and equipped with a radio-transmitter. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Tick burden in neonatal roe deer (Capreolus capreolus): the role of age, weight, hind foot length, and vegetation and habitat on bed sites

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Evelina Svensson; [2014]
    Nyckelord :Capreolus capreolus; Ixodes ricinus; roe deer neonatal; tick burden; bed sites;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deal with tick burden on roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) fawns, in relation to age, weight, hind foot length, and as well as to vegetation and habitat on bed sites. Roe deer fawns (N = 25) were captured from May 27 to June 27. Samples of ticks were collected and tick burden were estimated. LÄS MER
