Immune responses of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) to commercial tetanus toxoid vaccine

Although captive elephants are commonly vaccinated annually against tetanus using commercially available tetanus toxoid vaccines marketed for use in horses and livestock, no data exists to prove that tetanus toxoid vaccination produces measurable antibody titers in elephants. An ELISA test was created to measure antibody responses to tetanus toxoid vaccinations in 22 Asian elephants ranging in age from 24 to 56 years (mean age 39 years) over a 7-month period. All animals had been previously vaccinated with tetanus toxoid vaccine, with the last booster administered 4 years before the start of the study. The great majority of elephants had titers prior to booster vaccination, and following revaccination all elephants demonstrated anamnestic increases in titers, indicating that this species does respond to tetanus vaccination. Surprisingly older animals mounted a significantly higher response to revaccination than did younger animals.  相似文献   

A comparative analysis of acceptance by Japanese females and price of goat milk from different sources

A sensory survey was carried out using 4 different types of whole goat milk among middle‐class females to investigate consumer acceptability of goat milk and whether there is an opportunity to expand the sale of goat milk products in Japan. Four different types of whole milk powder (domestic concentrate‐fed, domestic pasture‐fed, USA commercially canned, and New Zealand commercially canned) were used. Fresh cow milk was served as a control. Thirty‐one housewives evaluated the 5 liquid milk samples for smell, taste and overall characteristics on a scale of 1 (low) to 3 (high). Chi‐square analyses were carried out to detect significant differences between the milk types in each category. The goat milk from the USA was the most preferred goat milk with respect to smell and overall evaluation. Domestic pasture‐fed milk received the lowest grade in the evaluation for its ‘grassy and goaty’ smell. This result shows us that pasture intake affects the taste and smell of powdered milk which gives the lowest evaluation by the participants. If Japanese goat milk producers want to be successful in the domestic goat milk market and compete against goat milk products from other countries, they should improve production methods and flavor of their products.  相似文献   

Multi-scaled habitat considerations for conserving urban biodiversity: native reptiles and small mammals in Brisbane,Australia     

Jenni G. Garden  Clive A. McAlpine  Hugh P. Possingham 《Landscape Ecology》2010,25(7):1013-1028

The rapid expansion of the world’s urban population is a major driver of contemporary landscape change and ecosystem modification. Urbanisation destroys, degrades and fragments native ecosystems, replacing them with a heterogeneous matrix of urban development, parks, roads, and isolated remnant fragments of varying size and quality. This presents a major challenge for biodiversity conservation within urban areas. To make spatially explicit decisions about urban biodiversity conservation actions, urban planners and managers need to be able to separate the relative influence of landscape composition and configuration from patch and local (site)-scale variables for a range of fauna species. We address this problem using a hierarchical landscape approach for native, terrestrial reptiles and small mammals living in a fragmented semi-urban landscape of Brisbane, Australia. Generalised linear modelling and hierarchical partitioning analysis were applied to quantify the relative influence of landscape composition and configuration, patch size and shape, and local habitat composition and structure on the species’ richness of mammal and reptile assemblages. Landscape structure (composition and configuration) and local-scale habitat structure variables were found to be most important for influencing reptile and mammal assemblages, although the relative importance of specific variables differed between reptile and mammal assemblages. These findings highlight the importance of considering landscape composition and configuration in addition to local habitat elements when planning and/or managing for the conservation of native, terrestrial fauna diversity in urban landscapes.  相似文献   

Further Observations on Physiological Breakdown In Stored Plums

Summary

Seeds of Fagus sylvatica, Prunus avium and Acer pseudoplatanus were sown on 10 May and covered with four materials: white polyethylene, white polypropylene, yellow net or green net for 90 d to study the effect of a temporary covering on soil and air temperature, increment in dry weight, and root cellular diameter of nursery tree seedlings in a northern climate. Root collar diameter, height and dry weight of covered seedlings were compared with those of uncovered control seedlings at the end of growing season. The increase in soil and air temperature under white polyethylene, white polypropylene and yellow net and the decrease in soil temperature under the green net influenced the growth of F. sylvatica and P. avium seedlings. Dry weight, as well as root collar diameter and height, was increased under the coverings increasing temperature. A. pseudoplatanus responded less to temperature, but increased dry weight and root collar diameter when cultivated under white polypropylene and green net. Hence temporary coverings can be used to improve the quality of seedlings grown in a northern climate.  相似文献
