Abstract— The primary and secondary responses in the skin of specific pathogen free (SPF) lambs to scarification and orf virus infection were studied and the temporal changes in numbers of dermal polymorphonuclear and mast cells were examined. The clinical and histopathological changes after primary infection were similar to those previously described after secondary infection although there was a more severe reaction and an increased timescale. It is concluded that relevant data on the cellular processes involved in the host response to orf virus can be obtained from previously infected animals. Two stages of cutaneous response were identified histologically; (i) repair of the injury and (ii) reaction to virus replication, which, as determined by antigen location, initially seemed to occur within the newly repaired epidermis. The second stage comprised a localised inflammatory response and epidermal proliferation beneath it, resulting in isolation of the infected zone. The response involved neutrophils, basophils and possibly mast cells but not eosinophils. Résumé— Les résponses primaires et secondaires dans la peau d'agneaux SPF à la scarification et à l'infection par le virus de l'ecthyma contagieux ont étéétudiées, ainsi que les modifications dans le temps du nombre de leucocytes et de mastocytes dermiques. Les modifications cliniques et histologiques après une primoinfection étaient similaires à celles que l'on à décrites précédemment lors d'infection secondaire, encore que la réaction soit plus sévère et plus durable. Il a été conclu que des données fiables concernant les processus cellulaires impliqués dans la réponse de l'hôte au virus de l'ecthyma contagieux pouvaient être obtenues à partir d'animaux qui avaient déjàété infectés. Deux étapes ont été identifiées histologiquement dans la réponse cutanée: (i) réparation du traumatisme et (ii) réaction à la réplication virale, qui, comme le démontre la localisation de l'antigène, semble initialement se faire dans l'épiderme cicatriciel. La seconde étape comprend une réponse inflammatoire localisée et une prolifération épidermique sous-jacente, aboutissant à une excision de la zone infectée. La réponse implique une participation des neutrophiles, des basophiles, des mastocytes mais, pas des éosinophiles. Zusammenfassung— Die primären und sekundären Reaktionen in der Haut von spezifisch-pathogen-freíen (SPF) Lämmern nach Skarifikation und Infektion mit ORF-Viren wurden untersucht und Daten über die temporafen Veränderungen in der Zahl der dermalen polymorphonukleären Zellen und Mastzellen erhoben. Die klinischen und histopathologischen Veränderungen nach der primären Infektion ähnelten denen die nach sekundärer Infektion beschrieben wurden. Die Reaktion war jedoch schwerer und die Dauer länger. Man schließt daraus, daß relevante daten über die zellulären Prozesse, die bei der Reaktion des Wirtsorganismus auf ORF-Viren beteilligt sind, von schon früher intizierten Individuen erhalten werden können. Histologisch lassen sich zwei Stadien unterscheiden: (I) Reparation des Defekts und (II) Reaktion auf die Virusreplikation, die—auch Antigenlokalisierung bestimmt—anfangs zeitlich mit der neu hergestellt Epidermis zusammenfällt. Das zweite Stadium umfaßt eine lokalisierte Entzündungsreaktion mit einer darunterliegenden, epidermalen Proliferation, wodurch der infizierte Bereich abgestoßen wird. An der Reaktion sind neutrophile und basophile Granulozyten, möglicherweise auch Mastzellen beteiligt, nicht aber eosinophile Granulozyten. Resumen En este trabajo se describen las respuestas primarias y secundarias en la piel de corderos SPF (specific pathogen free) después de una escarificación y aplicación de virus del ectima; así como los cambios que se producen en los polimorfonucleares y las células cebadas de la dermis. Los cambios clínicos e histopatológicos después de la infección primaria fueron semejantes a los observados después de la infección secundaria, aunque la infección fue más intensa y más duradera. Se concluye que se pueden obtener datos relevantes sobre los procesos celulares que participan en la respuesta del hospedador contra el virus del ectima a partir de animales infectados previamente. Histológicamente se identificaron dos etapas en la respuesta cutánea; (1) preparación de la agresión y (2) reacción a la replicación viral, que, de acuerdo con la localización del antígeno, parece ocurrir inicialmente en la epidermis recientemente regenerada. La segunda etapa consistía fundamentalmente en una respuesta inflamatoria localizada y en una regeneración epidérmica junto a la misma, que resultaba en una escisión de la zona infectada. En la respuesta participaban neutrófilos, basófilos y probablemente células cebadas aunque no eosinófilos.  相似文献   

Silage and milk production: a comparison between supplements of barley and soybean meal offered with white clover silage     

M. E. CASTLE  D. REID  J. N. WATSON 《Grass and Forage Science》1984,39(3):287-289

Silage made from Blanca white clover was offered ad libitum to four Friesian cows in a 12-week changeover experiment. The silage contained 990 g white clover DM (kg DM)⁻¹ with 254 g DM kg⁻¹ and 243 g CP (kg DM)⁻¹ The pH was 3.98 and the in vitro DOMD concentration 680 g kg⁻¹. The silage was the sole feed in the control treatment; in the other three treatments it was supplemented with barley, soybean meal, and a mixture of these feeds supplying 8.1, 2.7 and 7.8 kg DM per cow respectively. The daily intakes of silage DM were 19.3, 13.5, 17.5 and 13.5 kg per cow, and the daily milk yields were 26.3, 28.0, 28.6 and 27.6 kg per cow on the control, barley, soybean and barley plus soybean treatments respectively. It is concluded that the white clover silage had an excellent fermentation and a large potential for milk production.  相似文献   

Profiling the New Zealand Thoroughbred racing industry. 2. Conditions interfering with training and racing     

NR Perkins  SWJ Reid  RS Morris 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(1):69-76

AIM: To describe and enumerate conditions that interrupted training and racing in a population of Thoroughbred racehorses in New Zealand.

METHODS: A longitudinal study design was used to collect data on horses training under the care of 20 licensed racehorse trainers from venues in the mid to lower regions of the North Island between October 1997 and July 2000. Incidence rates were reported for first and second occurrences for different categories of musculoskeletal injury (MSI), and first occurrences of upper and lower respiratory tract disease, using training days as time-at-risk. The proportion of horses that retired or died due to MSI, respiratory tract or miscellaneous conditions was used to estimate risk of exit for each type of event. Duration of training preparation, starts per 100 training days, and proportion of starts that ended in first, second or third place, were calculated for horses at risk for first MSI, and all subsequent MSIs. In training preparations that had at least one start and that ended in MSI, the cumulative percentage of MSIs by day of diagnosis was reported for 0–21 days after the last start in the preparation.

RESULTS: Horses (n=1,571) were followed during 3,333 training preparations and 392,290 training days. Events associated with the end of a training preparation or spell period included MSI (n=834), respiratory event (RE; n=165), miscellaneous event (ME; n=58), and voluntary retirements (n=360). Causes of MSI included lameness (n=400), shin soreness (n=207), tendon and ligament conditions (n=98), injury or laceration (n=56), fractures (n=55), and back disorders (n=18). MSIs involved the limbs in 97% of cases, and the lower limbs up to the carpus or hock in the fore- and hindlimbs, respectively, in 81% of cases. Most (93%) lower limb conditions involved a forelimb while 70% of MSIs that involved structures above the carpus or hock involved a hindlimb. Incidence rates (IRs) are reported for each age group for first and second occurrences of MSI, and first occurrence of upper and lower respiratory tract disease. The risk of MSI was higher in horses that had incurred one previous MSI (RR 1.4, 95% CI=1.2–1.7; p>0.001) than in horses without any previous MSI. The proportion of horses that exited due to death or retirement varied with the type of injury, and the highest proportion was associated with recurrent fractures, and tendon and ligament injuries (46.2 and 44.4%, respectively). The overall IR of horses exiting the study due to retirement or death increased with increasing age, and was higher in females than males for horses aged 2, 3, 4, and ≥5 years. A reduction in the number of starts per 100 training days was observed in horses aged ≥5 years when returning to training after an initial MSI (p=0.004). Male horses of all age groups and females younger than 4 years had shorter median training preparations (p>0.05) when returning to training after an initial MSI compared with preparations at risk for a first occurrence of MSI. Between 27 and 62% of cases of MSI that occurred in training preparations after at least one start were reported on the day of the last start, and the remainder were reported in the days to weeks following the last start of that preparation.

CONCLUSION: Incidence rates, and proportions of affected horses that retired or died as a result of injury or disorder varied with type of injury and age of horse. Horses returning to training after an initial MSI were at higher risk of subsequent MSIs and showed changes in duration of training preparations, but little change in starts per 100 training days or probability of placing in each start. MSIs in racing horses were less likely to be reported on the day of a race than at other times in the training preparation for all ages except 2-year-olds.  相似文献   

Effect of training location and time period on racehorse performance in New Zealand. 2. Multivariable analysis     

NR Perkins  SWJ Reid  RS Morris 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(5):243-249

AIM: To investigate training location (horses trained in Matamata vs those trained at all other venues in New Zealand), and time period (1996–1997 and 1998–1999), while controlling for other horse- and race- or trial-related factors, as a means of assessing the possible impact of construction of a new training surface at the Matamata Racing Club on indirect measures of racehorse performance (number of starts, and failure to race within 6 months of any start).

METHODS: Multivariable logistic regression and poisson analysis were used to analyse data derived using a retrospective cohort approach. Multivariable logistic regression was also used to analyse a case-control study. All data were derived from New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR), records of race and trial results for racehorses trained in Matamata and other venues in New Zealand, covering two 19-month time periods (1996–1997 and 1998–1999). Outcome variables included whether a horse started again in the 6 months following any start that occurred in the first 13 months of either time period, and a count of the total starts for every horse.

RESULTS: Factors associated with increased risk of a start being followed by a 6-month no-race period included training location other than Matamata in comparison to horses trained in Matamata in the 1996–1997 time period, increasing age, 1998–1999 over 1996–1997, starting in a trial rather than a race, placing fourth or worse in a start, softer track conditions, summer vs autumn, increasing cumulative exercise intensity in the 60 days prior to a start, and increasing race distance. Factors associated with an increase in the total number of starts included horses trained at Matamata in 1996–1997 compared with other time period-location combinations, younger age of horses at the time of a start, longer race distance, and an increasing proportion of starts in stakes races.

CONCLUSIONS: Official race and trial results data provided a valuable resource for epidemiological studies of factors influencing racehorse performance. Results of analyses performed here provided little evidence of any adverse impact of a new training surface at the Matamata Racing Club on indirect measures of racehorse performance.  相似文献   

Is observed variability in the long-term results of the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey a response to climate change?   总被引：10，自引：1，他引：9  

PHILIP C. REID  BENJAMIN PLANQUE  & MARTIN EDWARDS 《Fisheries Oceanography》1998,7(3-4):282-288

In the more than 50 years that the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey has operated on a regular monthly basis in the north-east Atlantic and North Sea, large changes have been witnessed in the planktonic ecosystem. These changes have taken the form of long-term trends in abundance for certain species or stepwise changes for others, and in many cases are correlated with a mode of climatic variability in the North Atlantic, either: (1) the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a basin-scale atmospheric alteration of the pressure field between the Azores high pressure cell and the Icelandic Low; or (2) the Gulf Stream Index (GSI), which measures the latitudinal position of the north wall of the Gulf Stream. Recent work has shown that the changes in the GSI are coupled with the NAO and Pacific Southern Oscillation with a 2 year lag. The plankton variability is also possibly linked to changes observed in the distribution and flux of water masses in the surface, intermediate and deep waters of the North Atlantic. For example, in the last two decades, the extent and location of the formation of North Atlantic Deep Water, Labrador Sea Intermediate Water and Norwegian Sea intermediate and upper-layer water has altered considerably. This paper discusses the extent to which observed changes in plankton abundance and distribution may be linked to this basin-scale variability in hydrodynamics. The results are also placed within the context of global climate warming and the possible effects of the observed melting of Arctic permafrost and sea ice on the subpolar North Atlantic.  相似文献

The Polymorphonuclear and Mast Cell Responses in Ovine Skin Infected with Orf Virus     

DAVID McEWAN JENKINSON  PAULINE E. McEWAN  SILAS K. ONWUKA  VICTOR A. MOSS  HUGH Y. ELDER  GLYNNIS HUTCHISON  HUGH W. REID 《Veterinary dermatology》1990,1(2):71-77

Abstract— Histological examination and quantification of some of the cell types during the first 120h of orf virus infection of scarified skin indicated that the main polymorphonuclear cell involved during early viral replication is the neutrophil, although the accumulation of this cell type also occurred in response to the initial trauma. Orf virus infection had no appreciable influence on the relatively low eosinophil population in the dermis but induced a basophil response which followed the appearance of viral antigen in the epidermis and was greatest at the periphery of the lesion. The number of cutaneous mast cells was not significantly affected by scarification and infection. Résumé— L'examen histologique et la numération de certains types de cellules pendant les 120 heures suivant la scarification de la peau avec du virus de l'ecthyma contagieux, ont montré que le polynucléaire le plus impliqué pendant le début de la réplication virale était le polynucléaire neutrophile, prenant en compte que l'accumulation de ce type de cellule intervient aussi en réponse au traumatisme initial. L'infection par le virus de l'ecthyma contagieux n'a pas eu d'influence appréciable sur la population relativement faible des éosinophiles dans le derme mais, a induit, à la suite de l'apparition de l'antigène viral dans l'épiderme, une résponse des basophiles, surtout observée à la périphérie de la lésion. Le nombre des mastocytes cutanés n'a pas été sensiblement modifié par la scarification ni par l'infection. Zusammenfassung— Durch histologische Untersuchung und Quantifizierung verschiedener Zelltypen während der ersten 120 Stunden einer ORF-Infektion von skarifizierter Haut konnte der neutrophile Granulozyt als hauptsächliche polymorphkernige Zelle der frühen viralen Replikationsphase bestimmt werden. Allerdings kommt es auch zu einer Vermehrung dieser Zellen als Reaktion auf das initiale Trauma. Die ORF-Virusinfektion hatte keinen bemerkens-werten Einfluß auf die relativ geringe Eosinophilenpopulation in der Dermis, induzierte jedoch eine basophile Reaktion nach dem Erscheinen des virus-Antigens in der Epidermis vor allem im peripheren Bereich der Läsion. Die Zahl der Hautmastzellen änderte sich durch die Skarifizierung und Infektion nicht statistisch signifikant. Resumen El examen histológico y la cuantificación de las células presentes en la piel durante las 120 h. siguientes a la infectión por virus del ectima contagiosos en pieles escarificadas indicó que la principal célula polimorfonuclear que participa en la replicatión viral temprana es el neutrófilo, aunque el acúmulo de este tipo celular también se presenta como respuesta al trauma inicial. La infectión con el virus del ectima no tuvo una influencia apreciable sobre la población relativamente baja de eosinófilos de la dermis, pero indujo una respuesta de basófilos a continuación de la aparición de la presencia de antígeno viral en la epidermis y que fue de mayor intensidad en la periferia de la lesión. El número de mastocitos no se vió influenciado significativamente por la escarificación e infectión.  相似文献   

Aspects of the distribution and growth of bluemouth (Helicolenus dactylopterus, Delaroche 1809) since its invasion of the northern North Sea in 1991     

J. C. J. MAMIE  D. J. BEARE  E. G. JONES  M. KIENZLE  H. DOBBY  M. R. HEATH  D. G. REID 《Fisheries Oceanography》2007,16(1):85-94

Recent trends in the abundance, distribution and growth of bluemouth in Scottish waters are described. The observations are all based on an ecologically important time‐series database of trawl surveys conducted annually between 1925 and 2004 by Fisheries Research Services, Aberdeen. We examine the period 1985–2004 in detail. Bluemouth abundance has increased over the last decade both along the continental shelf west of Scotland and in the North Sea. In 1991 bluemouth appeared in the northern North Sea as a distinct cohort, with total lengths ranging between 6 and 8 cm. 1991 was a year of exceptional Atlantic inflow into the North Sea, and it is likely that the bluemouth used this water mass as a highway, entering from the north and west as small individuals. The fish from 1991 grew steadily and formed a distinct length mode that we track here until its disappearance in 2002. In the first few years following this influx, bluemouth were recorded all around the northern North Sea, but since 1997 numbers have declined and its distribution has shrunk into one of two International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) statistical rectangles (39F1 and 40F2) which are positioned in the central part of the North Sea. Since 1991 only one subsequent and relatively minor immigration of bluemouth into the North Sea has taken place, in 1998. The composition of the North Sea bluemouth population as a single cohort allows its spatial distribution, expansion and growth rate to be charted, discussed and described.  相似文献   

The distribution and prevalence of Theileria buffeli in cattle in Queensland     

NP STEWART  NF STANDFAST†  FC BALDOCK‡  DJ REID  AJ de  VOS† 《Australian veterinary journal》1992,69(3):59-61

The distribution and prevalence of Thelleria buffeli in Queensland cattle were investigated using serum samples and blood films collected primarily for brucellosis surveillance and tick fever diagnosis. Serums from 8654 cattle from 357 farms throughout Queensland were examined by an indirect fluorescent antibody test for antibody to T buffeli. In addition, 347 peripheral blood films collected from 147 farms in south-eastern Queensland were examined for piroplasms of T buffeli. The overall herd and animal prevalences for T buffeli were 75% and 41%, respectively. There was significant variation among regions in both herd and animal prevalences (P less than 0.001). Herd and animal prevalences were highest in the north and east decreasing westward. The results indicate that T buffeli is more widespread in Queensland than previously thought.  相似文献   

The effects of halothane and nitrous oxide on the pharmacokinetics of propofol in dogs     

A. M. NOLAN  J. REID  S. GRANT† 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》1993,16(3):335-342

The pharmacokinetics of propofol, 6.5 mg/kg, administered as a bolus dose intravenously (i.v.) were studied in six dogs (group 1). The effect of maintaining anaesthesia with halothane and nitrous oxide in oxygen on propofol pharmacokinetics was also investigated in six dogs undergoing routine anaesthesia (group 2). Induction of anaesthesia was rapid in all animals. Post-induction apnoea was a feature in three of the 12 dogs. The blood propofol concentration-time profile was best described by a bi-exponential decline in two dogs in group 1 and in 3 dogs in group 2, and by a tri-exponential decline in four dogs in group 1 and 3 dogs in group 2. The elimination half-life was long in both groups (90.9 min and 75.2 min, respectively), the volume of distribution at steady state large (4889 and 4863 ml/kg) and the clearance rapid (58.6 and 56.3 ml/kg.min). There were no significant differences between the groups, thus indicating that maintenance of anaesthesia with halothane and nitrous oxide had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of propofol in the dog.  相似文献
