Effects of air temperature, air movement and artificial rain on the heat production of brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula): an exploratory study     

van den Oord QG  van Wijk EJ  Lugton IW  Morris RS  Holmes CW 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1995,43(7):328-332

Two groups of six mature brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpeculu) were housed in two respiration chambers, and their heat production, whole body conductance and lower critical temperatures were measured under a variety of simulated weather patterns. The possums were subjected to ambient temperatures of 30, 20 and 3 degrees C. At 20 and 3 degrees C, the animals were exposed to near still air and light winds (wind speed 0.8 and 6.7 km/h), both with, and without, simulated rain every 8 hours. The lower critical temperature in near still air lies between 7 and 10 degrees C. This temperature increases by about 2, 6 and 8 degrees C respectively for a wind velocity of 6.7 km/h, simulated rain and a combination of the two factors. Weather in New Zealand, especially in the cooler part of the year, will often produce conditions below the lower critical temperature of the thermoneutral zone of possums. This will necessitate significant increases in metabolic rate and hence food consumption or mobilisation of body fat reserves, which if not sustainable will result in the death of possums. Field studies have shown that this is often the case in the wild. It is proposed that this stress may be sufficient to decrease the resistance (especially cell-mediated immunity) of some possums and allow acceleration of the disease process in those infected with Mycobacterium bovis.  相似文献   

Intranuclear cisternal and vesicular structures in canine circumanal gland carcinoma cells     

G N Isitor  D E Weinman  A Q Paulsen 《American journal of veterinary research》1979,40(12):1748-1751

Intranuclear cisternal and vesicular structures, bound by a single membrane, were observed for the first time in some glandular "bird's eye" cells of canine circummanal gland carcinomas. The role of these intranuclear structures is not clear. It is suggested that they may be involved in cellular adaptation to an environment of nutrient deficiency, as a result of cell overcrowding.  相似文献   

Metabolic fate of [¹⁴C]endrin in bluegill fish     

P. Sudershan  M.A.Q. Khan 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1980,14(1):5-12

Bluegill absorbed 85% of 1 ppb of endrin from water within 48 hr under static exposure conditions. The absorbed radiocarbon was eliminated linearly with a half-life of about 4 weeks. Analyses of eliminated radioactivity revealed only conjugated metabolites. 12-anti-Hydroxyendrin and 12-syn-hydroxyendrin were tentatively identified by cochromatography using thin-layer chromatography/autoradiography and gas chromatography. These metabolites were also present as conjugates in the fish organs. Seventy-three percent of the absorbed radioactivity recovered from fish extracts was in the form of unchanged endrin.  相似文献   

胡桃长足象研究初报     

景河铭  林昌伦  苟国谦 《植物保护学报》1980,7(1):9-16

胡桃长足象是核桃果实的大害虫,为害损失很大。1975年以来,我们在四川平武地区进行了生活习性观察和防治试验,初步明确了以下几个问题。1.胡桃长足象一年一代。11月份以成虫越冬,次年4月上旬开始活动,为害果、芽、嫩枝、叶柄,5月上旬交尾产卵于果中,一般一果一粒,8月中旬产卵结束,10月陆续死亡。当年成虫6月中旬羽化,进行为害。2.成虫有假死性和向阳性,飞翔力弱,具有与核桃树芽苞相似的保护色。3.防治胡桃长足象,应抓住越冬成虫大量出现和卵孵化盛期时进行。用每毫升含孢量二至五亿的白僵菌液或50%的三硫磷乳油、50%速灭松乳剂、82%磷胺乳剂加水一千倍喷雾,效果良好。  相似文献

A complement fixing antigen in the livers of birds infected with an avian leukovirus (erythroblastosis virus).   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

C Q Darcel 《Canadian journal of veterinary research》1978,42(2):235-238

Extracts of erythroblastosis affected livers from which much of the structural protein had been removed were prepared by acid denaturation. These extracts contained complement fixing "soluble" antigen in a form which was not associated with viral or subviral particles. Ultracentrifugation can be of assistance in separating complement fixation activity from contaminating material in these extracts.  相似文献   

THE USE OF FLUFF COUNTS IN A STUDY OF HYGIENE IN QUEENSLAND HATCHERIES     

J. E. McGaw B.Sc.  R. V. Byrnes B.Sc.  Q.D.A.  † G. C. Simmons B.Sc. 《Australian veterinary journal》1975,51(8):389-391

During 1972, 333 fluff samples were tested from 13 Queensland hatcheries and assessed according to the English standards for total count, coliforms and fungi. They were also assessed as being "standard" or "substandard", using a combination of the criteria of the English system. All hatcheries had at least 2 substandard samples and all the samples from 2 hatcheries were substandard.  相似文献   

猪瘟病毒E0基因在CHO细胞中的表达

将EGFPE0融合基因插入哺乳动物细胞表达载体pCI-dhfr中,构建重组质粒pCI-EGFPE0。将重组质粒转染CHO(dhfr-),在荧光显微镜下观察到少数细胞呈现绿色荧光,表明转染成功。通过MTX加压筛选后,在荧光显微镜下观察到多数细胞呈现强绿色荧光,表明重组融合蛋白EGFPE0在CHO细胞中得到大量表达。高效表达重组融合蛋白细胞克隆的获得为进一步大量制备可溶性的猪瘟病毒E0糖蛋白、制备其单抗筛选抗原表位及研究E0蛋白的生物学功能奠定基础。  相似文献   

‘丰香’草莓叶片高效再生体系的建立   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12

 以草莓主栽品种丰香( Fragaria ×ananassa Duch ‘Toyonoka’) 叶片为外植体, 研究了影响组织培养的多个因素, 建立了高效再生体系。结果表明: MS + TDZ 1.5 mg·L ^{- 1} + IBA 0.4 mg·L ^{- 1}培养基最适于不定芽分化。不同滤光膜(绿膜、红膜、蓝膜、黄膜) 对草莓不定芽的分化具显著效应, 绿膜和红膜对芽的分化有明显促进作用, 不定芽再生率达95%以上, 平均每个外植体再生芽数在25个以上; 而蓝膜和黄膜则不利于芽的分化。不同滤光膜光谱差异主要集中在300～700 nm, 红、绿膜在该波段光强较弱,而黄、蓝膜和荧光灯较强。暗处理4周比1、2、3周更有利于提高叶片的不定芽再生率, 此后转到光下培养, 获得的不定芽再生率可达100%。  相似文献
