A study was performed at an abattoir in Australia, in an attempt to correlate focal chronic interstitial nephritis (FCIN) producing the so-called "white spotted kidney", with Leptospira spp. and other pathogens in cattle. Samples of kidneys, urine and blood were collected immediately after slaughter from 46 two-year-old heifers, and 72 cows and bulls with gross lesions consistent with FCIN. The same samples were also collected from nine heifers and 12 cows with no gross kidney lesions. Aqueous humour was also collected from the eye of 17 of the adult animals. The sera were processed by a microscopic agglutination test for leptospira antibodies, while all the other samples were cultured for Leptospira spp. and also processed for routine aerobic and anaerobic culture for other pathogens. Sub-samples from all the kidneys were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and processed histologically. Antibody titers of 1:400 or higher for Lepstospira borgpeterseni serovar hardjo were found in six adult animals with FCIN and in one adult animal with no gross kidney changes, while antibody titers of 1:400 to L. borgpeterseni serovar tarassovi were found in only one animal with FCIN. L. borgpeterseni serovar hardjo was isolated from the urine and kidney of one adult animal and from the urine of another adult animal, both with FCIN. No pathogens were isolated from any of the other samples. The histological lesions were consistent in most cases with FCIN. The results suggest that neither Leptospira spp. nor active infection by other bacteria are associated with the so-called "white spotted kidneys".  相似文献   

Pasteurella multocida septicaemia in fallow deer (Dama dama)     

MJ CARRIGAN  HJS DAWKINS†  FA COCKRAM  AT HANSEN† 《Australian veterinary journal》1991,68(6):201-203

Thirteen of 100 fallow deer, aged between 6 months and 10 years, died over a 5 week period. The deaths occurred in 2 outbreaks 3 weeks apart. Both outbreaks were preceded by at least 3 days of cold wet and windy weather, and were associated with water-logged pastures. Affected animals were usually found dead, with a frothy blood-stained nasal discharge. In the 8 deer necropsied, gross lesions included widespread subserosal petechial haemorrhages, severe pulmonary congestion and oedema with froth-filled airways, and fibrinous pneumonia and pleurisy in 4 deer. Two deer, also, had extensive subcutaneous petechial and ecchymotic haemorrhages and oedema of skeletal musculature. Histologically, the most significant lesions were present in the lungs. Moderate to severe pulmonary congestion and oedema, with fibrinous exudation into alveoli and septal oedema, were present in all deer. In some deer these changes were accompanied by a diffuse infiltration with polymorphonuclear leucocytes. Pasteurella multocida was isolated from a range of tissues from 7 of 8 deer examined. The remaining animal had been treated with antibiotics 8 hours before death. The isolates had identical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns and were of the same antigenic type-Carter group A, Heddleston type 3,4.  相似文献

韭菜花芽分化过程及解剖学特征研究     

焦子源  李纪军  张国娜  李克寒  法丹丹  陈建华 《陕西农业科学》2022,(11):53-56

为明确韭菜花芽的分化过程及内部结构特征,掌握不同类型韭菜的生殖生长周期,选用深休眠韭菜品种‘平韭2号’、浅休眠韭菜品种‘四季青’和‘薹韭’的三年生植株为试验材料,采用石蜡切片技术,观察韭菜茎尖生长点的变化。结果表明：可将韭菜花芽的分化过程分为4个时期——花芽未分化期、总苞和花序原基分化期、小花原基分化期与花部原基分化期。在统一的栽培条件下,韭菜品种不同,启动花芽分化的日期也不同。浅休眠品种‘四季青’比深休眠品种‘平韭2号’早约28 d,而同为浅休眠类型的‘薹韭’则比‘平韭2号’早约62 d。另外,花芽分化过程中各时期的持续时间在不同品种之间也表现出一定差异。  相似文献   

改进PSO算法在电力系统无功优化中的应用     

詹克明  许小鹏  法智  詹恒富 《农业科技与装备》2012,(1):35-37

介绍一种改进粒子群的无功优化方法。采用简化粒子群优化方程和添加极值扰动算子两种策略加以改进,提出简化粒子群优化（SPSO）算法、带极值扰动粒子群优化（DPSO）算法,并将二者结合起来提出带极值扰动的简化粒子群优化（DSPSO）算法。以IEEE6节点系统为例进行无功优化计算,并与其他算法进行比较,结果表明：该算法具有较快的收敛速度及较强的全局搜索能力,可较好地解决电力系统的无功优化问题。  相似文献   

Meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria fowleri in cattle of northeast Brazil     

Pimentel LA  Dantas AF  Uzal F  Riet-Correa F 《Research in veterinary science》2012,93(2):811-812

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis is an acute disease of the central nervous system of humans and animals caused by Naegleria fowleri. This report describes a case of meningoencephalitis caused by N. fowleri in a crossbred, one-year-old bovine with progressive neurological signs. At necropsy there was thickening of the meninges and multifocal areas of malacia in the thalamus, caudal and rostral colliculi, parietal and occipital cortex, and cerebellum. Histologically there was multifocal necrosupurative meningoencephalitis associated with areas of malacia containing amoebic trophozoites. Immunohistochemistry of the brain was positive for N. fowleri. The disease should be included among the differential diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system in cattle in areas where animals are exposed to hot, stagnant water.  相似文献
