Analysing the isotopic life history of the alpine ungulates Capra ibex and Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra through their horns.

30 Jul 2009 The horn of ungulate grazers offers a valuable isotopic record of their diet and environment. However, there have been no reports of the spatio-temporal variation of the isotopic composition of horns. We investigated patterns of carbon (delta(13)C) ... Read more...

Babesia capreoli infections in alpine chamois (Rupicapra r. Rupicapra), roe deer (Capreolus c. Capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) from Switzerland.

29 Jun 2009 Five cases of fatal babesiosis in free-ranging chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra) attributed to infections with Babesia capreoli were recently recorded in two regions of the Swiss Alps. To investigate the ecologic factors that possibly lead to those ... Read more...

Nocardia otitidiscaviarum pneumonia in an Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra).

7 Apr 2009 Nocardia otitidiscaviarum was cultured from the lung of an Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra) with suppurative bronchopneumonia. This is the first report of both nocardiosis and Nocardia otitidiscaviarum in this wild ungulate ... Read more...
