一起穿山甲疫情的病原分析

为了查明一起人工养殖穿山甲疫情的致病原因,应用病毒PCR检测和细菌分离的方法对2只前后病死穿山甲进行病原学检测。病毒PCR检测结果显示,未能从肺组织中检测到流感病毒、副黏病毒和腺病毒核酸。细菌分离结果表明,从2只病死穿山甲肺中各分离到1株优势菌株。细菌的生化试验、16S rRNA基因的序列分析表明,2株分离菌株均为摩氏摩根菌。小鼠的致病试验和分离菌的药敏试验结果表明,2株分离菌对小鼠有很强的致病作用,对新霉素、壮观霉素、阿米卡星高度敏感。     

用鳞片估计马来穿山甲个体数量

我国每年都能查扣到多起非法走私大量马来穿山甲鳞片进入境内的案件,由于不知如何根据鳞片来估计个体数量,而给森林公安机关立案、量刑与处罚带来极大不便。通过统计9头马来穿山甲鳞片的数目（Sm）、鲜重（Sfw）、干重（Sdw）,分别获得了以Sm、Sfw、Sdw为参数来估计马来穿山甲个体数量（N）的3个方程,它们是①Sm/929.8≤N≤Sm/681.8;②Sfw/835.4≤N≤Sfw/389.8;③Sdw/774.3≤N≤Sdw/367.9。执法部门在办理此类走私案件中能通过这些方程方便快捷地估算出走私物品的个体数量,能为同类案件的立案、量刑和处罚提供依据。     

Hematology and serum biochemistry of captive Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) in Wildlife Reserves Singapore

The Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) faces threat of extinction due to illegal trafficking of its scales for the purpose of traditional medicine in the Asian region. Ex-situ captive breeding and reintroduction programs have been identified to be a key effort in the conservation of the species. The establishment of blood parameters for captive Sunda pangolins are vital to assess the health in these animals during health assessments. The objective of this study is to establish blood parameters for captive Sunda pangolins and compare the blood parameters with the established blood reference ranges for rescued wild Sunda pangolins in Singapore. Blood parameters for hematology and serum biochemistry were established from 13 clinically normal captive Sunda pangolins. Male captive Sunda pangolins were found to have significantly (P<0.05) higher potassium compared to the female captive Sunda pangolins. Captive Sunda pangolins were found to have significantly (P<0.05) lower white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil counts, alanine phosphatase (ALP) and phosphorus and significantly (P<0.05) higher PCV, TP, globulin and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) when compared with rescued wild Sunda pangolins from the previous study.     

人工饲养穿山甲行为的观察

通过对杭州动物园饲养的 9只穿山甲全天连续观察和测定 ,发现在其摄食、睡眠 ,排泄 (粪尿 )、饮水、做窝和挖土打洞等行为方面 ,除保持昼伏夜出外 ,多数发生了适应性变化 ,根据上述行为的观察 ,对穿山甲的饲养管理进行了初步探讨     

中国穿山甲的现状与保护对策

主要综述了我国穿山甲的数量、资源价值、贸易状况及保护现状。根据穿山甲的种群状况、生态习性和饲养状况，在研究1982-1996年中国穿山甲贸易特点的基础上，提出了今后对其保护管理的对策。
