Tetanus in a Camel (Camelus dromedarius) – A Case Report     

Wernery U  Ul-Haq A  Joseph M  Kinne J 《Tropical animal health and production》2004,36(3):217-224

Twenty days after an open castration, a 5-year-old dromedary was presented to the Dubai Camel Hospital with severe central nervous symptoms. The dromedary showed the following signs: off feed, stiff gait with extended neck, external swelling of the preputial sheath and groin region, and foamy saliva drooling from the mouth. The dromedary was unable to swallow. Three days after admission, the camel developed lockjaw, and on the fifth day it was unable to stand owing to paralysis of the hindquarters. Because of the severity of the disease and because it did not respond to treatment, the camel was euthanized 26 days after the operation and submitted to the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory for further investigation. Both castration wounds were closed and spermiducts were filled with necrotic masses from which Clostridium tetani was isolated. Two mice, which were injected with the filtrate of the thioglycolate broth, developed typical signs of tetanic spasm of the hind leg. Faecal samples from camel and horse paddocks that were only 50 metres apart were negative for C. tetani. However, C. tetani was isolated from two soil samples of the horse paddock. It is recommended that camels should be vaccinated against tetanus prior to castration.  相似文献

田雪亮  郎剑锋  周建  陆宁海  陈锡岭 《广东农业科学》2012,39(6):87-88,97

为了明确串珠镰刀菌毒素对玉米根系的致病机制,采用串珠镰刀菌粗毒素处理抗、感品种玉米幼苗根系,测定根系的细胞膜透性、丙二醛和可溶性糖含量,结果表明:抗病品种玉米对毒素的耐受能力强,细胞膜透性、丙二醛含量低于感病品种,而可溶性糖含量高于感病品种。抗病品种3个指标之间的相关性较高,而感病品种的3个指标相关性较低。表明抗、感品种玉米对串珠镰刀菌毒素的耐受能力不同。  相似文献   

石楠拟盘多毛孢致病毒素除草作用的初步研究     

蒋继志  白冰  郑超  侯雅勤 《河北农业大学学报》2012,35(2):88-92

石楠拟盘多毛孢(Pestalotiopsis photiniae)是草莓根腐病的优势致病菌,主要通过毒素引发病害。为明确该病菌毒素对常见几种杂草的影响,本试验利用离体叶片和种子根芽伸长法研究了该病菌粗毒素对几种杂草的致病作用。结果表明:该粗毒素对供试的13种杂草叶片均有不同程度的致病作用,致病强度与杂草种类及粗毒素浓度有关,其中车前、马齿苋、马唐、反枝苋和灰菜5种杂草受害最重,经较低浓度(0.036mg/mL)毒素处理后1d即开始出现褐色斑点,第3天病斑面积达到最大(50%以上);该粗毒素(0.036mg/mL)对车前等5种杂草种子萌发、幼根和幼芽伸长也均有显著的抑制作用,且随毒素浓度升高抑制作用增强,抑制率均在53%以上,但对小麦和大豆种子萌发及根芽伸长均无明显的抑制作用;粗毒素经紫外线照射后,对车前和蒲公英的除草活性在自然光照下比黑暗下明显增强。这些结果揭示石楠拟盘多毛孢粗毒素有一定的除草潜力。  相似文献   

Effect of Fusarium toxin-contaminated triticale and forage-to-concentrate ratio on fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in the rumen     

Hildebrand B  Boguhn J  Dänicke S  Rodehutscord M 《Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition》2012,96(2):307-318

In this study, the effect of Fusarium toxin-contaminated triticale (FUS) at high (60%) and low (30%) concentrate proportion in ruminant rations on ruminal fermentation, microbial protein synthesis and digestibility was investigated, using in vivo and in vitro methods. Significant effects of the forage-to-concentrate ratio on ruminal degradation and digestibility of crude nutrients and detergent fibre fractions as well as on the pH value and the concentration of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in rumen fluid were found. The production of SCFA was affected, and the degradation of crude fibre and neutral detergent fibre in the rumen was reduced by the inclusion of FUS at high concentrate proportion. The efficiency of microbial crude protein synthesis was higher in diets with 60% than in diets with 30% concentrates, but was impaired in the presence of FUS in vitro at the high concentrate level. Marginal effects of FUS on the amino acid pattern of microbial protein were detected. It was concluded that the use of FUS in high concentrate diets can influence ruminal fermentation and microbial protein synthesis at a dietary deoxynivalenol concentration below 5 mg/kg dry matter.  相似文献   

Involvement of Cylindrocarpon destructans in root death of Pinus sylvestris seedlings: Pathogenic behaviour and predisposing factors     

《Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research》2012,27(1-4):521-535

The common rhizospheric fungus Cylindrocarpon destructans was investigated in relation to its role in root death of Pinus sylvestris in Nordic nurseries and plantations. Laboratory methods were developed for studying similar root problems as well as the early effects of phytotoxicity and fungal infection. Seedlings grown under standardized optimal conditions were exposed to controlled stress (known to occur in nurseries), with or without C. destructans in the rhizosphere. Low light conditions, anaerobic root environment, and fungicide treatment were each found to predispose pine seedlings to invasion by the pathogen. The pathogen was very sensitive to competition as well as antagonism on the root, and fungicide‐induced inhibition of antagonists such as Trichoderma spp. also increased the severity of attack by the pathogen. To compete successfully, the pathogen would have to invade and dominate weakened roots prior to the arrival of saprophytes. Toxic metabolites produced by the pathogen weakened or killed nearby root tissues, and pathogen metabolites seemed to prevent saprophytes from taking hold in the infected roots. Such heavily infected, dead roots may act as inoculum sources allowing the pathogen to invade adjacent living roots, even healthy ones. Dead roots left in nursery soil after earlier harvests may act as reservoirs of inoculum for long periods and pose a threat to new plants.  相似文献   

松针褐斑病毒素诱发紫茎泽兰电解质渗漏对几种真菌的影响   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

杨斌  余静  陈勃 《草原与草坪》2005,(3):52-55

松针褐斑病菌毒素是一种非寄主专化性毒素,能够伤害紫茎泽兰叶片,引起细胞电解质渗漏。电导率测定结果表明,毒素粗提液对紫茎泽兰的伤害活性最强,LA-I次之,LA-II最弱。孢子萌发试验和菌丝生长试验显示,紫茎泽兰电解质对青霉菌、木霉菌、尖孢镰刀菌、链格孢菌的孢子萌发和菌丝生长都有不同程度的抑制作用,但是对泽兰尾孢菌的孢子萌发和菌丝生长有促进作用。毒素粗提液对供试真菌的的孢子萌发和菌丝生长没有明显的抑制作用和促进作用。分析认为将松针褐斑病菌毒素与泽兰尾孢菌混和将可能提高对紫茎泽兰的除草效果。  相似文献   

松材线虫对其携带的一株致病细菌产毒的影响   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

赵博光  梁波  赵林果  徐梅 《北京林业大学学报》2005,27(6):71-75

该文报道了以黑松细胞为材料的一种改进的细胞荧光染色显微生测法.用该方法测定了接种松材线虫虫体上分离到的荧光假单胞GcM5-1A菌株或该菌株和无菌松材线虫混合物接种后的愈伤组织水提物的毒性.结果表明,单独接种无菌松材线虫或单独接种该菌株后的愈伤组织水提液未表现出毒性;而接种无菌松材线虫与该菌株的混合物后的愈伤组织水提液与接种野生松材线虫后的愈伤组织水提液的毒性以及该菌株的NB培养液的无细胞滤液的毒性均很强,并且它们三者之间没有显著差异.该结果说明松材线虫在寄主组织中能促进细菌的产毒.向该菌株的NB培养液的无细胞滤液中添加松材线虫后测定其毒性,结果表明无菌松材线虫对其毒性并无显著影响.实验结果表明松材线虫本身不产生毒素,在荧光假单胞菌培养液的无细胞滤液中加入无菌松材线虫未能显著改变其毒性.   相似文献
