Avian infectious bronchitis (AIB) is an economically important disease of chickens. Recent studies have revealed enterotropism by at least one strain of AIB virus with pathological lesions in parts of the gut. This review highlights the findings of the studies so far made on this enterotropic strain of AIB virus.  相似文献

A specific DNA probe which identifies Babesia bovis in whole blood.     

W Petchpoo  P Tan-ariya  V Boonsaeng  C R Brockelman  P Wilairat  S Panyim 《Veterinary parasitology》1992,42(3-4):189-198

A genomic library of Babesia bovis DNA from the Mexican strain M was constructed in plasmid pUN121 and cloned in Escherichia coli. Several recombinants which hybridized strongly to radioactively labeled B. bovis genomic DNA in an in situ screening were selected and further analyzed for those which specifically hybridized to B. bovis DNA. It was found that pMU-B1 had the highest sensitivity, detecting 25 pg of purified B. bovis DNA, and 300 parasites in 10 microliters of whole infected blood, or 0.00025% parasitemia. pMU-B1 contained a 6.0 kb B. bovis DNA insert which did not cross-hybridize to Babesia bigemina, Trypanosoma evansi, Plasmodium falciparum, Anaplasma marginale, Boophilus microplus and cow DNA. In the Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA, pMU-B1 could differentiate between two B. bovis geographic isolates, Mexican strain M and Thai isolate TS4. Thus, the pMU-B1 probe will be useful in the diagnosis of Babesia infection in cattle and ticks, and in the differentiation of B. bovis strains.  相似文献   

冻融中土壤的水热动态     

张转放  赵小雯  华孟 《中国农业大学学报》1992,(3):287-292

根据在北京郊区的试验,认为土壤水冻融过程可分为三阶段,其中第二阶段有聚墒现象,平均聚墒8.6mm,所聚的墒在融化过程中又逐渐消失。气温回升至-2℃左右是冻层下部由冻到融的转折温度。冬灌水保存到来年春季的数量有限,本试验中1m 土层内平均不足20mm。  相似文献   

白跗平腹小蜂对主要森林害虫抑制力研究     

方惠兰  廉月琰 《浙江林业科技》1994,14(2):1-3

１９８７～１９９２年连续６年研究结果表明，白跗平腹小蜂Ａｎａｓｔａｔｕｓａｌｂｉｔａｒｓｉｓ对马尾松毛虫Ｄｅｎｄｒｏｌｉｍｕｓｐｕｎｃｔａｔｕｓ、柳杉毛虫Ｄｅｎｄｒｏｌｉｍｕｓｌａｔｉｐｅｎｎｉｓ、水青蛾Ａｃｔｉａｓｓｅｔｅｎｅｎｉｎｇｐｏａｎａ等１３种主要森林害虫卵有较明显的抑制作用。在林间，该蜂对马尾松毛虫第１、２代卵的自然抑制力分别力１６．５５％和２２．２９％，对柳杉毛虫越冬代卵的自然抑制力为２３．４５％；对水青蛾第１、２代卵的抑制力分别力５．４９％和２．６３％；在林间，人为释放白跗平腹小蜂对第１代马尾松毛虫卵的校正抑制力为３３．５％，在室内１２．３～２８℃范围内，每头雌峰对马尾松毛虫、水青蛾和柞蚕剖腹卵的日破坏数（寄生数）分别力１５、１８和２６粒，一生破坏数分别为５６、９１和２０８粒。即使虫卵即将孵化，该峰同样亦能寄生，并羽化出正常的子代白跗平腹小蜂。  相似文献   

Detection of TNF alpha receptors on ovine leucocytes by flow cytofluorimetry.     

F P Winstanley 《Research in veterinary science》1992,52(1):129-131

Tumour necrosis factor receptor activity was detected on sheep leucocytes using flow cytofluorimetry and commercially available fluorescent human tumour necrosis factor. The density of receptors per cell and the proportion of cells expressing TNF receptor activity was found to be in the following rank order: monocytes greater than granulocytes greater than lymphocytes.  相似文献   

Pasteurella multocida toxin induces IL-6, but not IL-1 alpha or TNF alpha in fibroblasts.          下载免费PDF全文

S Rosendal  P L Frandsen  J P Nielsen    R Gallily 《Canadian journal of veterinary research》1995,59(2):154-156

Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) is the major virulence factor in Progressive Atrophic Rhinitis of swine. Other workers' previous findings that PMT was mitogenic for 3T3 fibroblasts, were confirmed in the present study. In addition, PMT stimulated 3T3 cells to release IL-6, but IL-1 alpha or TNF alpha were not detected in fibroblast supernatants sampled 24, 48, or 72 h after stimulation. In view of the role of IL-6 in osteoclastic bone resorption, these findings provide a new working hypothesis for investigations into the molecular pathogenesis of this important disease.  相似文献   

THE NON-CARDIAC DISTRIBUTION OF ^99mTC-METHOXY-ISOBUTYL-ISONITRILE (SESTAMIBI) IN NORMAL BEAGLES     

Phillip F.  Steyn  BVSc  MRCVS  MS  Gregory  Ogilvie  DVM 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1995,36(2):160-163

Technetium-99m methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (sestamibi) is a radiophartnaceutical used for the evaluation of myocardial perfusion. Increased uptake of sestamibi has also been documented in tumors. The objective of this study was to document the extracardiac biodistribution of ^99mTc sestamibi in the normal dog. Nine normal beagles were given 0.35 mCi/kg ^99mTc sestamibi intravenously, and 60 second images were made of the entire body at 1 hour post injection. A defined distribution pattern was recognized, with good visualization of the heart, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, kidneys, urinary bladder, popliteal lymph nodes, parotid salivary glands and zygomatic salivary glands. Splenic uptake was not seen.
Target to background ratios were calculated for all the regions listed, using background regions-of-interest with the smallest coefficient of variance for the denominator. The mean, range and standard deviation of these ratios are given.  相似文献   

Correlated Responses in Two Traits when Selection is Practised on their Ratio     

M. Hühn 《Plant Breeding》1992,109(1):28-34

In many fields of application in plant breeding and crop science, ratios of two component traits X and Y are of interest (harvest index in cereals, leaf-to-stem ratio in forage legumes, height-to-diameter ratio in forest trees etc.). When selection is practised on the ratio X/Y of two traits X and Y, the experimenter may be interested in the resulting changes of both trait means. Based on improved approximations for the covariances between X and X/Y and between Y and X/Y and for the variance of X/Y the changes in the means of X and Y can be predicted by applying the regression approach from conventional selection theory. Explicit expressions for these correlated responses in X and Y when selection is practised on their ratio X/Y are derived and discussed. The different outcomes (decrease, zero change or increase) for the selection pressures on X and Y are characterized by phenotypic coefficients of variation of X and Y, phenotypic and genotypic correlations between X and Y and heritabilities of X and Y.  相似文献   

散养成乳牛舍环境测定   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

高腾云  史庆生 《家畜生态》1994,15(1):1-5

以一栋散养成乳牛舍为对象，系统地测定了舍内外的气温、气湿、风速、辐射强度、黑体温度及屋顶热流量。结果表明：从６月１日—９月１０日，舍内旬均气温都在２３．４３℃以上，舍内１４：００气温旬均值都在２８℃以上，舍内旬均ＴＨＩ都超过７１．７１；屋顶热流量曲线的斜率很大、峰值出现于１４：００，并且与舍外黑体温度呈高度的正相关；舍内与舍外的黑体温度、辐射强度分别呈中等以上的正相关；冬季舍内寒冷，同时受舍外气流影响大。笔者认为，通过增加牛舍高度、先用高热阻屋面材料和冬季防风可望改进此类牛舍的环境。  相似文献
