Studies On The Surface Ultrastructure Of A Snake Tick, Amblyomma Helvolum (acari: Ixodidae)
A detail surface ultrastructure study on both male and female Amblyomma helvolum, inhabiting on snakes were made by using scanning electron microscope. The study unraveled the clear sexual dimorphism of the tick. Details of the surface ultrastructure were compared with other ixodid tick species as reported so far. Some distinctive surface morphology of A. helvolum... Continue here

Relationship Between Morphological Traits, Body Indices And Body Condition Score As Welfare Indicators Of Nigerian Sheep
The relationship between morphological traits and body condition score (BCS) of indigenous sheep breeds was assessed. A total number of 400 indigenous sheep were sampled. Twelve body measurements were taken from these sheep; these measurements were then used to estimate body indices of these animals. Data were subjected to General Linear Model and correlation...
