Quarantine requirements for the importation of black rhinoceros from Zimbabwe into Australia     

KA DOYLE  BA ROBINSON  DW WILSON 《Australian veterinary journal》1995,72(10):364-368

SUMMARY The proposal by the Zoological Parks Board of New South Wales to import 10 southern black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) from Zimbabwe as part of an international project for conservation of the species presented the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) with a unique challenge. This importation is, at least in the modern era, the first importation of live herbivores from the African continent. Many of the serious animal diseases in the world are endemic in parts of Africa. Knowledge of which of these diseases infect wild species and may be transmitted from the wild species to domesticated species, is limited. This paper describes the strategies adopted by AQIS to facilitate the importation of rhinoceros while maintaining protection of Australian consumers, rural industries, domestic livestock and fauna against the entry and spread of unwanted pests and diseases.  相似文献

Field trials on the retention of potato stocks in England     

L. Broadbent  G. D. Heathcote  P. E. Burt 《Potato Research》1960,3(3):251-262

Summary Field trials done to supplement replicated smallplot trials showed that the incidence of leaf roll and Y viruses in potato crops remained low for several years in many parts of England when the crops were sprayed with insecticide, and in some parts, where aphids were few, without spraying. Four sprays with DDT emulsion at 2 lb. of active ingredient per acre per application, at intervals of 14 days, starting soon after the plants emerged, were enough to check spread from sources within the crop. Insecticides did no prevent viruliferous aphids, coming from outside the crop, from infecting sprayed plants. Although many growers could safely keep potato stocks for several years longer than they do now, others could not because virus Y is introduced by aphids from other crops in the same area. Risk from incoming infective aphids will remain until all potato crops are free from virus, but if all infected crops were sprayed with an efficient aphicide before the summer dispersal flight this should greatly decrease the amount of disease introduced into healthy crops.

Zusammenfassung Feldversuche, die zur Erg?nzung wiederholter Kleinparzellenversuche durchgeführt wurden, ergaben, da? die H?ufigkeit des Auftretens der Blattroll- und Y-Viren bei Kartoffelbest?nden mehrere Jahre in vielen Teilen Englands gering blieb, wenn die Best?nde mit einem Insektenmittel gespritzt wurden; in manchen Teilen, in denen wenig Blattl?use vorkamen, war dies auch ohne Spritzen der Fall. Viermaliges Spritzen mit DDT-Emulsion zu 2 lb. aktiven Bestandteile pro “acre” pro Applikation in 14t?gigen Intervallen, wobei man bald nach dem Aufgang begann, reichten aus, um die Ausbreitung von Quellen innerhalb der Best?nde zu hemmen. Die Insektizide verhinderten nicht, da? virus-tragende Blattl?use, die von au?erhalb der Best?nde stammten, die gespritzten Pflanzen infizierten. Obwohl manche Züchter ihre Kartoffelbest?nde verschiedene Jahre l?nger halten k?nnten als sie es jetzt tun, würde anderen dies nicht gelingen, weil das Y-Virus von Blattl?usen aus anderen Best?nden des gleichen Gebietes eingeführt wird. Die Gefahr ansteckender Blattl?use wird bestehen bleiben, bis alle Kartoffelbest?nde virusfrei sind; wenn jedoch alle infizierten Best?nde mit einem wirksamen Blattlausmittel vor dem sommerlichen Befallsflug gespritzt würden, w?re der Umfang der Infizierung mit dieser Krankheit von gesunden Pflanzungen bedeutend zu verringern.

Résumé Des essais en plein champ, effectués pour compléter des essais à différentes reprises sur petites parcelles, ont démontré que l'incidence des virus Y et de l'enroulement dans les cultures de pommes de terre restait faible pendant plusieurs années dans bien des régions d'Angleterre, pourvu que les cultures aient été traitées par pulvérisation d'un insecticide, et dans certaines régions, où les pucerons sont rares, mêmes sans pulvérisations. Quatre pulvérisations d'une émulsion de DDT à la dose de 2 lb. de substance active par “acre” et par pulvérisation, espacées de deux semaines, dont la première est effectuée peu après la levée, suffisaient pour enrayer la propagation à partir de sources situées à l'intérieur de la culture. Les insecticides n'empêchaient pas les pucerons porteurs de virus, venant d'en dehors de la culture, d'infecter les plantes traitées. Si bien des cultivateurs pourraient continuer sans inconvénient la culture de pommes de terre de la même semence pendant plusieurs années de plus que d'ordinaire, d'autres ne le pourraient pas parce que le virus Y est apporté d'autres cultures de la même région par les pucerons. Le risque de pénétration de puccrons infectieux continuera d'exister tant que toutes les cultures ne seront pas exemptes de virus. Mais si toutes les cultures infectées étaient traitées avec un insecticide efficace avant le vol de dispersion en été, il en résulterait une forte diminution de la maladie introduite dans des plantations saines.

Developmental temperature stress and parental identity shape offspring burst swimming performance in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)

Abstract – The persistent effects of embryonic temperature stress and individual parentage on fry swimming performance were examined in a cross‐fertilisation experiment using sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). A fixed‐velocity test of burst swimming was used to assess the endurance capacity and behavioural performance of individual fry from 10 offspring families incubated at 12, 14 or 16 °C to hatch and then reared through yolk absorption and exogenous feeding stages in a common posthatch environment (average 6.9 °C). Fry burst swim time (BST) was influenced by an interaction between incubation temperature and family identity. Average BST was longer for fry from the 12 °C prehatch treatment compared to 14 and 16 °C, although differences were largely attributable to temperature effects on average fry size. Behavioural observations revealed that fish incubated at 16 °C performed more poorly, having a larger proportion of individuals that required stimulation to swim, fatigued more frequently or were classified as ‘nonswimmers’. Within all three incubation temperature treatments, mean BST varied significantly among offspring families, independent of fry mass and length. An interesting relationship was observed within the 16 °C treatment, whereby families with higher survivorship were characterised with lower mean BSTs. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that exposure to high temperatures in early sockeye salmon development can result in persistent, parentally mediated effects on fry performance. As such, these results provide important insight into how elevated temperature events during egg incubation may affect early life history selection processes and survival in stages beyond when the stressor is experienced.  相似文献
