Endemic plants and animals are susceptible to extinction in an imperilled alpine hotspot in southern Africa

Peter J. Taylor, Emile Bredenhand, Ara Monadjem, Adrian J. Armstrong et autres

Background: As global temperatures rise, alpine species at the upper limit of their distribution are at risk of decline and extinction due to shrinking habitats downslope. The alpine (> 2 800 m a.s.l.) biodiversity of the Maloti-Drakensberg is poorly known but may …

Life cycle stages of Hepatozoon ingwe (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) in an Ixodes sp. tick vector (Arthropoda: Ixodida: Ixodidae) and an African leopard Panthera pardus pardus

Michelle van As, Edward C. Netherlands, Johann van As, Courtney A. Cook et autres

Intracellular apicomplexan haemoparasites from the genus Hepatozoon Miller 1908 have been described from a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including wild carnivores in Africa. Reports from the African leopard, Panthera pardus pardus (Linnaeus 1758) are scarce and generally non-specific, and description on …

First record of organochlorine pesticides in blood of wild and captive African leopards, Panthera pardus pardus (Linnaeus, 1758)

Michelle van As, Nico J. Smit, Nico J. Wolmarans, Victor Wepener

Compared to aquatic ecosystems, limited information exists on organochlorine accumulation in terrestrial ecosystems, and this is specifically true for terrestrial carnivores that have received limited attention in terms of studies on pollutant bioaccumulation. The African Leopard, Panthera pardus pardus (Linnaeus, 1758), is …

Molecular characterisation and morphological description of two new species of Hepatozoon Miller, 1908 (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) infecting leukocytes of African leopards Panthera pardus pardus (L.)

Michelle van As, Edward C. Netherlands, Nico J. Smit

BACKGROUND: The African leopard Panthera pardus pardus (L.) is currently listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) red list of threatened species due to ongoing population declines. This implies that leopard-specific parasites are also …
