The activity of albendazole against adult and larval gastrointestinal nematodes in naturally infected calves in the Netherlands     

Borgsteede FH 《The Veterinary quarterly》1979,1(4):181-188

Summary The activity of albendazole against gastrointestinal helminths in naturally infected calves in the Netherlands was tested. The calves were in their fist grazing season and kept in two groups of ten. One of these groups was grazed alternately with sheep. Five out of each group were drenched with albendazole (7.5 mg/kg) on the day they were housed (November 1). Before and 2, 14, and 28 days after treatment individual faecal samples were taken from all calves and larval cultures were made. Ten calves, six treated and four untreated, were killed for post mortem studies 14 days after treatment The remaining calves were slaughtered 14 days later. The drug was highly effective in reducing the egg output, measured as the number of larvae cultured per gram of faeces. Compared with the untreated calves, the reduction was more than 99% two days after treatment, 100% at 14 days, and 99% after 28 days. It was shown that egg output 28 days after treatment came from worms which had developed from arrested larvae of Ostertagia ostertagi that had survived treatment. Post mortem results showed an efficacy of 100% against adult O. ostertagi, of almost 100% against Trichostrongylus axei, and 100% against adult and larval Cooperia oncophora. Twenty-eight days after treatment, the reduction of arrested early fourth stages of O. ostertagi was 85% in comparison with the untreated calves. Apparently less effect was found against Trichuris ovis at the given dose rate.  相似文献

Tom-cat odour and other pheromones in feline reproduction     

K. P. Bland 《Veterinary research communications》1979,3(1):125-136

The function and suppression of urine spraying by cats is discussed as also is the source of tom-cat odour. It seems unlikely that tom-cat odour is derived from the lipid in the proximal convoluted tubule of the kidney, however its production by the anal glands has not yet been proven. Although male cats show a flehmen response when sniffing urine, smell seems to play a more important role in reproduction in the female than the male. The available data suggests that valeric acid may function as a female/female pheromone in cats by inducing or facilitating oestrus. Nepetalactone, the active ingredient of catnip, is probably not related to any naturally occurring pheromone in the cat but simply acts as an hallucinogenic drug.  相似文献   

Activated coagulation times of normal cows     

Riley JH  Lassen ED 《Veterinary clinical pathology / American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology》1979,8(1):31-33

The Activated Coagulation Time (ACT) was determined on 10 normal cows. Duplicate samples were taken from each cow. The mean ACT was 145 seconds with a range of 120-180 seconds. Standard deviations were 18 and 13 for the first and second sampling, respectively. Repeatability of the ACT was acceptable.  相似文献   

小麦丛矮病研究之三:灰飞虱同发病的关系     

蔡祝南  魏德忠  林志亮  杨莉  梅汝鸿  裘维蕃 《植物保护学报》1979,6(2):35-46

1976—1977年河北晋县贺家寨大队小麦春季灰飞虱的传带病毒率为31—52%,不同地块同代灰飞虱的带毒率异差较大:而秋苗期则为12—35.4%,其中不同地块上同代(四代成虫)灰飞虱的带毒率的差异从33.3%至35.4%则不太大。灰飞虱的有效传毒指数(即虫口数×自然带毒率)同田间小麦发病率的相关性是非常显著的,其r=0.9769。1975—1976两年调查及计算分析结果,其直线回归公式如y=4.12x-2.577。在有效传毒指数0.7—20.9之间用于予测发病率有效。人工分期侵染试验证明小麦在生长发育过程中受侵愈早,病情愈重,其中死株率也愈大。秋季侵染的死株率达95.6%,病指为99.6;夏季侵染的死株率为0,病指为57.6。秋季小麦出苗前后的大量虫口形成小麦10月中下旬的一个发病高峰,第二年春季4月中旬的虫口高峰形成5月上旬的一个发病高峰。3月下旬的一个发病高峰是越冬前受侵的。病毒在小麦植株中的潜育期的长短随小麦的生长速度而异。温度不过其中因素之一,最短5—8天,最长30—40天。侵染后如小麦进入越冬期,即不表现症状,一直要到返青以后。介体灰飞虱在河北晋县以第五代3—4龄若虫在冬麦地及草荒中越冬。夏季在玉米上可以产卵并孵化,但不能长期存活,主要在地头沟边及夏作物荫蔽下的禾草上越夏。冬麦治虫防病的重点应在秋季麦苗出土前,春季则应在3月中旬左右。冬麦适当推迟播种有利于减少发病率。棉间作麦比平作的病情重六倍而粮麦间作的病情比平作的重九倍。  相似文献   

西藏的小麦白秆病     

徐雍皋 《植物保护学报》1979,6(2):25-33,66

小麦白秆病是在青藏高原上为害小麦的一种新病害,在受害的叶、叶鞘及茎秆上产生草黄色条斑和椭圆形至长方形斑点两种症状。经鉴定病害由壳月孢属(Selenophoma)真菌引起。病菌在15℃黑暗条件下的马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂上培养,形成粘质状菌落,生长缓慢,不形成分生孢子器,而在菌丝上芽殖分生孢子;在15℃黑光灯照射下的燕麦琼脂等培养基上培养,形成分生孢子器。分生孢子器分生孢子新月形,无色,单胞,大小为17.9-26×2.6-3.6μ;而芽殖分生孢子的大小及形态变异较大。病菌的生长温度范围为0—20℃,以15℃为最适宜。其寄主有小麦、黑麦及冰草等。种子和幼苗经接种后,均产生系统性条斑症状。根据病菌的形态和寄主范围,小麦白秆病菌即Selenophoma donacis(pass)sprague efA.G.Johnson,由于S.donacis 只产生斑点症状,而小麦白秆病菌产生特有的系统性条斑症状,且发生温度偏低,所以认为小麦白秆病菌是在青藏高原特殊的生境条件下,形成的一个Selenophoma donacis(pass)sprague et A.G.Johnson的“白秆(albo-culmo)生态型。  相似文献   

棉铃虫田间分布型及在实践中的应用——2.棉铃虫田间卵量调查及序贯抽样检定防治标准的方法     

袁锋  汪世泽  魏建华 《植物保护学报》1979,6(1):37-50

在调查分析了解棉铃虫卵在田间呈核心理论分布型的基础上,研究了卵量调查方法的改进,应用序贯抽样检定防治标准,及统计资料的代换方法。根据棉铃虫卵在田间呈核心分布型,为了提高田间调查准确度,改进我国已经应用的田间取样方式,提出田间卵量调查方法是:以200株为取样量,采用平行线式,40个样点,每点单行五株。因为这样增多了样点和卵分布核心相遇的机会,经与原采用的单对角线式,双对角线式,棋盘式,分行式取样比较,平行线式取样准确度最高,降低了样本平均数代表性误差。为了节省田间卵量检查时间,可采用调查着卵株率计算百株卵量的办法,或对不同卵量密度的田块区别对待,百株卵量10粒以上检查100株,10粒以下检查200株。以田间百株卵量15粒或着卵株率11.77%为达到防治标准;卵量10粒或着卵株率8.36%为未达到防治标准,制定了序贯抽样检定防治标准的方法。检查卵量序贯抽样确定防治标准的方程:d_o=0.1127n-8.5353d_1=0.1127n 8.5353检查着卵株序贯抽样确定防治标准的方程:d_o=0.0998n-6.4228d_1=0.0998n 6.4228为了使用方便,制定了每次检查五株为单位的序贯抽样确定防治标准的田间实用检定表。实例计算表明,对棉铃虫卵和田间调查资料,进行变量分析,用对数和平方根代换均可。根据卵呈核心或嵌纹分布的特点,对数代换更为合理些。  相似文献   

Infection pressure of potato virus YN     

H. A. Vanhoof 《European journal of plant pathology / European Foundation for Plant Pathology》1979,85(1):31-37

Potato virus Y^N (PVY^N) infection was determined by the tobacco test in Swifterbant (Eastern Flevoland). In plots with beet, wheat and seed potatoes the infection exhibited an identical course. No differences were found either between PVY^N infection in the border and that in the middle of a field planted with ware potatoes, although infection pressure was clearly higher here than in the plot with seed potatoes. A barrier crop of 10 rows of wheat did not decrease the infection pressure of the virus.From August onwards, the spread of PVY^N in Lienden (Betuwe) was followed. Here virus transmission was found continuously, even until mid-November.Potato volunteers outside as well as in potato fields are serious infection sources. In 1976 and in 1977 virus spread was detected before the flight ofMyzus persicae, as determined with yellow Moericke traps. Infection pressure can be measured more efficiently by the tobacco test than by aphid trapping. The effect of rogueing at the time of virus spread should be reconsidered.If infection pressures in different areas or successive years are to be compared, the tobacco test should be standardized. A proposal to this effect is made.Samenvatting In Swifterbant (Oostelijk Flevoland) werd de infectie met het aardappel-Y^N-virus (PVY^N) bepaald met behulp van de tabakstoests. In percelen met bieten, tarwe en pootaardappelen bleek de infectie hetzelfde verloop te hebben. Tussen het infectieverloop van PVY^N in de rand en in het midden van een veld consumptieaardappelen werd eveneens geen verschil gevonden. Wel was de infectiedruk hier duidelijk hoger dan in het pootgoedperceel. Een barrier crop van 10 rijen tarwe verminderde de infectiedruk niet.De volgende conclusies kunnen worden getrokken. Aardappelopslag buiten en in aardappelvelden vormt een zeer belangrijke infectiebron. Zowel in 1976 als in 1977 vond de virusverspreiding plaats vóór de vlucht vanMyzus persicae begon, zoals deze werd bepaald met behulp van de gele Moericke vangbakken. Het effect van opzuiveren ten tijde van de virusverspreiding dient aan een nader onderzoek te worden onderworpen. De infectiedruk kan met de tabakstoets op meer directe wijze worden vastgesteld dan met bladluisvangsten mogelijk is.Wil men overgaan tot het vergelijken van de infectiedruk in verschillende gebieden of in verschillende jaren, dan dient de tabakstoets te worden gestandaardiseerd. Een voorstel hiertoe wordt gedaan.  相似文献   

Tumours of Begonia and some other ornamentals,induced by Corynebacterium fascians     

H. A. Van Hoof  H. Huttinga  A. Knaap  H. P. Maas Geesteranus  W. H. M. Mosch  D. G. J. De Raay-Wieringa 《European journal of plant pathology / European Foundation for Plant Pathology》1979,85(3):87-98

In 1975 many tumours were observed in plants ofBegonia Schwabenland grown in Aalsmeer. Submersion of the roots ofNicotiana megalosiphon seedlings in a homogenate of tumorous tissue, induced tumours after two weeks. Short periods of submergence yielded results similar to those obtained after longer periods. Tumour homogenates lost their infectivity after ten min at 50°C. Aphids transmitted the infectious agent.Treatment with propylene oxide did not inhibit infectivity completely. Filtration through a 450 nm filter removed the infectious agent.Tobacco tumor virus or a viroid could not be isolated. Cultures ofCorynebacterium fascians, isolated from tumours ofN. megalosiphon were highly infectious and induced tumours in healthyN. megalosiphon andBegonia. Tumorous tissue homogenates ofPelargonium zonale, Dahlia sp.,Gladiolus sp., andLilium sp. also caused tumours inN. megalosiphon, from whichC. fascians was isolated. It was not possible to produce tumours inN. megalosiphon with homogenates from roses with symptoms of bud proliferation.Samenvatting In 1975 werden vele tumoren waargenomen inBegonia Schwabenland op Aalsmeerse bedrijven (Fig. 1). De infectiositeit van tumorweefsel kon goed en snel worden vastgesteld door de wortels van zaailingen vanNicotiana megalosiphon in een homogenaat van tumorweefsel te dompelen. Tumoren ontstonden na twee weken, de eindbeoordeling geschiedde na een maand (Fig. 2). Ook verschillende andereNicotiana spp.,Melilotus officinalis (Fig. 3) enPisum odoratum (Fig. 4) werden aangetast.Bij de infectiositeitstoets gaven zeer korte dompeltijden even goede resultaten als langere (Tabel 1). Infectieus sap verloor zijn infectievermogen na 10 min verhitting bij 50°C. Bladluizen brachten de smetstof over. Propyleenoxide verminderde de infectiositeit wel, doch onderdrukte deze niet totaal. Bij filtratie door een 450 nm filter bleef het infectieuse agens op het filter achter. Het tumor-inducerende agens was ook aanwezig in die delen van planten met tumoren welke gezond leken en het ging voor een gering deel over met zaad (Tabel 2).Uit tumoren konden wij geen tabakstumorvirus of een viroïde isoleren. Culturen vanCorynebacterium fascians, geïsoleerd uit tumoren vanN. megalosiphon bleken zeer infectieus en veroorzaakten tumoren inN. megalosiphon enBegonia. Homogenaten van tumorweefsel vanPelargonium zonale, dahlia (Fig. 5), gladiool (Fig. 6) enLilium Mid Century Hybrid Enchantment (Fig. 7) veroorzaakten ook tumoren opN. megalosiphon, waaruitC. fascians werd geïsoleerd. Met sap van kroeskopzieke rozen konden wijN. megalosiphon niet besmetten.  相似文献   

Nitrogen-fixing anabaena: physiological adaptations instrumental in maintaining surface blooms     

Paerl HW  Kellar PE 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1979,204(4393):620-622

Both laboratory and in situ studies indicate that the nitrogen-fixing blue-green nuisance algae Anabaena spp. have developed adaptive means of dominating surface lake waters. During the dramatic diurnal shifts in surface light intensity and oxygen saturation accompanying blooms, Anabaena can overcome oxygen toxicity by sequential optimization of carbon dioxide and nitrogen fixation and by pigment alteration. These mechanisms allow optimal utilization of the radiant energy while minimizing competition for photoreductant between two main energy-demanding processes.  相似文献
