14) Immunology
I am not aware of any data.
15) Pathological features
Griner (1983) did not study this species, and he found only intestinal problems in two other duikers. Macivor & Horak (2003) collected ixodid ticks from common duikers, and Ogunsanmi et al. (2001) reported salmonellosis in grey duikers and the development of antibodies in bushmeat handlers. They drew attention to this potential threat to consumers of bushmeat.
16) Physiologic data
I am not aware of any studies.
17) Other resources
Numerous cell strains from different animals are available from CRES by contacting Dr. Oliver Ryder at oryder@ucsd.edu .
18) Other remarks – What additional Information is needed?
Implanted placentas, cord length, early stages and endocrinological studies are needed.
