Forecasting Crop Damage by Nematodes: Nematode Population Dynamics¹     

F.G.W. JONES  R.A. KEMPTON 《EPPO Bulletin》1980,10(2):169-180

Factors affecting the ease or difficulty of forecasting and modelling cyst, root-ectoparasitic and soil surface nematodes are mentioned. To relate pre-planting to post-harvest populations of cyst nematodes, a version of the logistic curve is derived from first principles and modified to take account of the injury done to root systems as numbers increase, and of eggs carried over to the following year. Egg hatch, when potato or other crops are grown, appears to be independent of population density. So also does root invasion over the population densities encountered in field plots. In the absence of enemies, population density is determined by competition for feeding sites induced by females in the root system, and by the size of the root system. Population oscillations about the equilibrium point are affected mainly by the proportion of the population that fails to hatch and the damage to the root system. The process of model building and the parameters required are outlined. The model includes hypotheses relating to intraspecific (genetic) competition and interspecific competition. The limitations of models and the need to make them stochastic are discussed. L'article fait état des possibilites et difficultés rencontrees dam la prévision et la modelisation des populations de nematodes a kystes, de nematodes ectoparasites des racines, et de nematodes de surface. Afin detablir la relation entre les populations de nematodes a kystes avant le semis et apres la recolte, il est recouru a la courbe logistique, derivee des principes fondamentaux. Celle-ci se trouve modifiee afin de tenir compte des degits croissants subis par les racines en fonction de I'augmentation des populations et de la survie d'une partie des ceufs d'une annee a I'autre. L'eclosion des ceufs semble être independante de la densite des populations dans les champs de pommes de terre et de toute autre culture. Ceci s'applique egalement a I'invasion des racines, dans le cas des densites de populations observees dans les parcelles experimentales. En I'absence dennemis, la densite est determinee par la competition pour L'acces aux sites de nutrition que les femelles preparent dans les racines, et par L'importance du systeme radiculaire. Les ecarts de population observes a partir dun equilibre sont principalement dus a la proportion de la population non eclose et aux deggts subis par les racines. I1 est fait etat d'une modelisation, basee sur certains parametres essentiels. Le modele repose sur L'hypothese d'une concurrence intraspecifique (genetique) et interspecifique. Les limites des modeles sont considerees, ainsi que la necessite de passer a une approche stochastique.  相似文献   

Peripartal Endocrinology in the Mare and Foetus     

JC Ousey 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2004,39(4):222-231

The endocrine profiles in the periparturient mares are dominated by increasing concentrations of progestagens and decreasing oestrogens. These hormones are produced by precursors from the foetus, metabolized by the placenta and act primarily on the maternal uterus. The circulating concentrations of hormones in maternal plasma, generally, represent a small proportion of those metabolized by the foetus and utero-placental tissues. There is clear evidence that the foetal hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis initiates the process of foetal maturation and the hormonal cascade which culminates in parturition at term. The endocrine changes associated with abnormal pregnancy and abortion in late pregnancy are less well understood, as are the hormonal treatments needed to avert these problems. Further work is needed to establish the biological role of the various hormones present in pregnant mares and, in particular, those hormones which control myometrial quiescence.  相似文献

Detection of Ureaplasma diversum in the upper airways of Australian feedlot cattle     

RJ Barnewall  IB Marsh  PMV Cusack  F Galea  N Sales  JC Quinn 《Australian veterinary journal》2023,101(6):254-257

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) exerts a major impact on the beef cattle industry nationally and worldwide, with a range of aetiological factors impacting its pathogenesis. Previous research has focussed on an increasing number of bacteria and viruses that have been shown to play a role in eliciting disease. Recently, additional agents have been emerging as potential contributors to BRD, including the opportunistic pathogen Ureaplasma diversum. To determine if U. diversum was present in Australian feedlot cattle and if that presence was linked to BRD, nasal swabs were collected from a cohort of 34 hospital pen animals and compared to 216 apparently healthy animals sampled contemporaneously at feedlot induction and again after 14 days on feed at an Australian feedlot. All samples were subjected to a de novo polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting U. diversum in combination with other BRD agents. U. diversum was detected at a low prevalence in cattle at induction (Day 0: 6.9%, Day 14: 9.7%), but in a significantly greater proportion of cattle sampled from the hospital pen (58.8%). When considering the presence of other BRD-associated agents, co-detection of U. diversum and Mycoplasma bovis was most common in hospital pen animals receiving treatment for BRD. These findings suggest that U. diversum may be an opportunistic pathogen involved in the aetiology of BRD in Australian feedlot cattle, in combination with other agents, with further studies are warranted to identify if a causal relationship exists.  相似文献   

Profile of Steroid Receptors and Increased Aromatase Immunoexpression in Canine Inflammatory Mammary Cancer as a Potential Therapeutic Target          下载免费PDF全文

Canine inflammatory mammary cancer (IMC) has been proposed as a model for the study of human inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The aims of this study were to compare the immunohistochemical expression of aromatase (Arom) and several hormone receptors [estrogen receptor α (ERα), estrogen receptor β (ERβ), progesterone receptor (PR) and androgen receptor (AR)], in 21 IMC cases vs 19 non‐IMC; and to study the possible effect of letrozole on canine IMC and human inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) in vitro using IPC‐366 and SUM‐149 cell lines. Significant elevations of the means of Arom Total Score (TS), ERβ TS and PR TS were found in the IMC group (p = 0.025, p = 0.038 and p = 0.037, respectively). Secondary IMC tumours expressed higher levels of Arom than primary IMC (p = 0.029). Non‐IMC PR‐ tumours contained higher levels of Arom than non‐IMC PR+ tumours (p = 0.007). After the addition of letrozole, the number of IMC and IBC cells dropped drastically. The overexpression of Arom found and the results obtained in vitro further support canine IMC as a model for the study of IBC and future approaches to the treatment of dogs with mammary cancer, and especially IMC, using Arom inhibitors.  相似文献   

Trivalent metal (Cr, Y, Rh, La, Pr, Gd) sorption in two acid soils and its consequences for bioremediation   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

D. L. JONES 《European Journal of Soil Science》1997,48(4):697-702

The recent addition of trivalent metals to soil and their subsequent movement within the biosphere are of concern. For this reason, the sorption of chromium (Cr), yttrium (Y). rhodium (Rh), lanthanum (La), praseodymium (Pr) and gadolinium (Gd) in two contrasting acid soils has been determined. Except for Rh, the sorption of the other trivalent metals conformed well to the Langmuir equation with derived sorption parameters similar for all the trivalent species tested. Calculation of the buffer powers indicated that under both small (0·01 mmol kg^?1) and large (1 mmol kg^?1) trivalent metal soil loadings > 99·5% of the metals will be associated with the exchange phase with small quantities present in the bulk soil solution (<0·5%). It seems that the slight availability of metals within the bulk soil solution will slow the rate of trivalent metal bioremediation of contaminated sites.  相似文献
