The Relationship Between Sperm Morphology and Chromatin Integrity in the Koala (<i>Phascolarctos cinereus</i>) as Assessed by the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion Test (SCDt)
18 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) sperm nuclei show a tendency to swell after cryopreservation, but it is uncertain whether this phenomenon is associated with DNA fragmentation. In this study, we validated a modified version of the sperm chromatin dispersion test (SCDt) for use with koala spermatozoa, which is the first use of the test for a marsupial. Cryopreserved spermatozoa (multiple straws) from a single koala...
