Side effects of botanical insecticides on predatory mite Amblyseius andersoni (Chant)     

M. Castagnoli  G. Angeli  M. Liguori  D. Forti  S. Simoni 《Anzeiger für Sch?dlingskunde》2002,75(5):122-127

The effects of the botanical insecticides Biopiren plus, Piresan plus and Neemazal T/S on the predatory mite Amblyseius andersoni (Chant) were tested under laboratory, semi-field, and field conditions. The tests carried out in the laboratory allowed detection of the direct toxicity on eggs and females as well as the effects on fecundity, whereas semi-field trials assessed their residual toxicity. In laboratory and semi-field tests, pyrethrins, particularly Piresan plus, proved to have the highest toxicity with E value, concerning both female mortality and fecundity, of 100% and 45%, respectively. The same product tested in the field only caused a significant reduction in the phytoseiid population shortly after the treatment. The relevant escape rate registered in semi-field tests could explain the lack of phytoseiid eradication in the field after treatment with pyrethrins.  相似文献

Adenocarcinoma of apocrine sweat glands in a mouflon (Ovis musimon).     

Federico Morandi  Cinzia Benazzi  Paolo Simoni 《Journal of veterinary diagnostic investigation》2005,17(4):389-392

A free-living mouflon (Ovis musimon) was presented with a mass on the left shoulder. At necropsy, multifocal, slightly protruding whitish spots were noted on the kidneys, and several lymph nodes were abnormal. Histologically, the mass was composed of epithelial cells arranged in tubular and tubulopapillary structures. The cytoplasm of the epithelial cells had numerous periodic acid-Schiff-positive and diastase-resistant granules. Ultrastructurally, the cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells contained numerous pleomorphic secretory granules and microvilli, which partially covered the luminal surface of the tumor cells. Metastatic foci were present in prescapular and mediastinal lymph nodes and kidneys. On the basis of histological and ultrastructural findings, this tumor was diagnosed as a tubulopapillary adenocarcinoma, arising from apocrine sweat glands of the skin.  相似文献

Lactobacillus rhamnosus as additive for maize and sorghum ensiling   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Salimei E  Capilongo V  Simoni A  Peiretti PG  Maglieri C  Romano CA  Mannina L  Coppola R  Sorrentino E 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2007,55(23):9600-9607

The effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus AT195, a potential probiotic microorganism cultured in buffalo "scotta" whey, on chemical and microbiological composition in maize and sorghum ensiling were evaluated. Both crops were harvested, chopped, and treated or not with the selected strain prior to ensiling in fiberglass vertical silos; 90 days after ensiling, silages were sensorially evaluated and sampled. Different chemical components were evaluated both on fresh crops and silages: in particular, the water-soluble carbohydrates content was investigated by high-field NMR spectroscopy and the carbohydrate fermentation profile was performed by GC. Besides phenotypic identification and typing, microbiological studies included Lb. rhamnosus genotype typing by RAPD-PCR. All silages, inoculated or not, were well preserved, as their chemical and microbiological data along with the fermentation profiles showed. The selected strain used as inoculum influenced the lactic acid population of silages and evidenced a good survival performance during the ensiling process of both maize and sorghum. Moreover, the use of Lb. rhamnosus strain efficiently improved the quality of the multifactorial ensiling process by significantly reducing the ammonia nitrogen content of both maize and sorghum silages.  相似文献   

Comparison of intradermal testing and serum testing for allergen-specific IgE using monoclonal IgE antibodies in 84 atopic dogs     

RS MUELLER  A. BURROWS  J. TSOHALIS 《Australian veterinary journal》1999,77(5):290-294

OBJECTIVE: To compare an ELISA measuring serum allergen-specific IgE with intradermal skin testing in canine atopic dermatitis. PROCEDURE: Eighty-four dogs with the clinical diagnosis of atopic dermatitis underwent intradermal skin testing and serum testing for allergen-specific IgE. Tests were performed in a blinded fashion. Positive reactions were compared and the sensitivity and specificity of the serum test (using intradermal skin test as the standard) were determined overall and for individual allergen groups (grass pollens, weed pollens, tree pollens, house dust mites and fleas). RESULTS: The sensitivity of the ELISA overall was 90.4%. Evaluating the individual allergen groups, the sensitivity for dust mite hypersensitivity was 95.1%, for fleas 85.4%, for tree pollens 84.3%, for grass pollens 95.1% and for weed pollens 96.4%. The specificity was 91.6% overall, for dust mites 96.3%, for fleas 92.7%, for tree pollens 95.2%, for grass pollens 94% and for weed pollens 80.7%. CONCLUSION: The evaluated ELISA seemed reliable for the diagnosis of atopy in practice and can be recommended as a screening test prior to intradermal skin testing or for use in dogs when immunotherapy is not a therapeutic option.  相似文献   

Alternative cleaning of compost leachate using biopolymer chitosan     

Marjana Simonič  Julija Volmajer Valh  Simona Vajnhandl  Silvo Hribernik  Manja Kurečič  Lidija Fras Zemljič 《Fibers and Polymers》2017,18(3):445-452

Compost leachate poses a threat to the environment because it contains many organic and inorganic pollutants. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) has been reported at values above 5000 mg/l O₂. Heavy metals, such as nickel, lead, chromium are also present within these waters. Thus, in order to comply with the increasingly stringent environmental quality standards such contaminants must be removed effectively. The research approach in this paper is directed towards chelating pre-treatment procedures. Nontoxic and biodegradable biopolymer chitosan was used as a chelator for the removal of dissolved metals from compost leachate. The influence of chemical conditions regarding the chelation efficiency was studied in model solutions. The optimal treatment conditions were applied onto compost leachate which was analysed further regarding metals. In addition, the influence of chitosan was studied on compost leachate toxicity. The most important aspect of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of waste chitosan recycling. Thus, the chitosan chelates were subjected to the electrospinning procedure in order to develop new nano-porous structures, such as, for example, conductive textiles.  相似文献

Development and validation of an ultrasensitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for aflatoxin M1 in milk   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Magliulo M  Mirasoli M  Simoni P  Lelli R  Portanti O  Roda A 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(9):3300-3305

A fast and ultrasensitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for aflatoxin M(1) in milk samples has been developed and validated. The method is an indirect competitive type format involving the immobilization of an aflatoxin M(1)-bovine serum albumin conjugate on 384 well black polystyrene microtiter plates and the use of a secondary antibody labeled with horseradish peroxidase detected with a luminol-based substrate. Aflatoxin M(1) standard solutions were prepared in milk-based buffer, and milk samples were analyzed without any cleanup procedure. The limit of quantification was 1 ppt, the coefficient of variation was below 9% for both intra- and interassay precision, and the recovery ranged from 96 to 122%. The method is specific, and other aflatoxins do not significantly cross-react with the antibody. Twenty-four milk samples were analyzed, and a good correlation was observed (y = 0.98x + 1.71, r(2) = 0.98, n = 24) when the data were compared with a reference high-performance liquid chromatography method with a fluorescent detector. The developed method is suitable for an accurate, sensitive, and high-throughput screening of aflatoxin M(1) in milk samples with a reduction of costs and increased detectability, as compared with previously developed immunoassays.  相似文献   

A survey of farmers'' attitudes to services provided by consulting veterinarians to the Western Australian sheep industry     

HM CHAPMAN  RS COPLAND†  RA SWAN  ID ROBERTSON 《Australian veterinary journal》1991,68(6):196-198

A postal survey was conducted of 80 sheep farmers in the Kojonup and Esperance districts of Western Australia to establish what they wanted from a veterinary service. Twenty five of the farmers surveyed used a sheep consultant, 25 did not, and 30 were interested in employing one. Farmers were asked questions about themselves and their attitudes to private veterinarians who provide specialist services to sheep farmers. Data reported here showed that farmers wanted a veterinarian who lived in the district, was well trained in sheep management and production, was enthusiastic and had good communication skills. The service provided should be whole-farm and available to members of the consultant's group only. Regular newsletters and field days were necessary, but the provision of contract services, such as mulesing, lamb-marking, drenching, pregnancy testing and sheep classing, and 'fire-brigade' services for sick animals, were not rated as important. Most farmers were unwilling or unable to give a dollar value for the likely benefits of a consultancy service. Non-financial benefits included keeping farmers up to date with new technical developments and information. The survey also showed that a veterinarian specialising in services to sheep farmers could be confident of employment.  相似文献
