Highly pathogenic influenza A virus subtype H5N1 causes significant poultry mortality in the six countries where it is endemic and can also infect humans. Egypt has reported the third highest number of poultry outbreaks (n = 1084) globally. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to identify putative risk factors for H5N1 infections in backyard poultry in 16 villages in Damietta, El Gharbia, Fayoum, and Menofia governorates from 2010–2012. Cloacal and tracheal swabs and serum samples from domestic (n = 1242) and wild birds (n = 807) were tested for H5N1 via RT-PCR and hemagglutination inhibition, respectively. We measured poultry rearing practices with questionnaires (n = 306 households) and contact rates among domestic and wild bird species with scan sampling. Domestic birds (chickens, ducks, and geese, n = 51) in three governorates tested positive for H5N1 by PCR or serology. A regression model identified a significant correlation between H5N1 in poultry and the practice of disposing of dead poultry and poultry feces in the garbage (F = 15.7, p < 0.0001). In addition, contact between domestic and wild birds was more frequent in villages where we detected H5N1 in backyard flocks (F = 29.5, p < 0.0001). 相似文献

Salinity reduces plant biomass and may lead to death when severe. To cope with the negative effects of this stress, plant species present specific physiological or biochemical responses. In this work, we hypothesized that spraying salt-stressed thyme leaves with K+ and Ca2+ could mitigate the negative effects of salinity on plant growth and metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we grew thyme plants under salinity stress for two and four weeks before applying foliar sprays. Also, to test the effect of stress relief, treated plants were allowed two weeks of recovery after four weeks of salt stress. In general, after two and four weeks of salinity stress, the leaf fresh weight of thyme plants was reduced by 31 and 43%, respectively. Salinity also decreased the relative water content, water, and osmotic potentials and led to ion imbalances and nutrient deficiencies. Salinity altered concentration of some essential oils, but leaf antioxidant contents remained fairly stable, except for a significant increase for plants under NaCl?+?KCl two weeks after treatment. Our results indicated that stressed plants accumulated significantly more soluble sugars and amino acids in comparison with the control. Foliar sprays with KCl and CaCl2 reversed the negative effects of salinity on plant biomass and induced the accumulations of compatible solutes. Moreover, concentrations of some essential oils and gallic acid increased in sprayed plants, but these effects were dependent on the type and duration of the treatment. Overall, spraying leaves with K+ and Ca2+ was able to mitigate salinity stress in Thymus vulgaris even during the recovery period. 相似文献

This study was performed to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of
resveratrol (RES) against CdCl2-induced toxicity in rat testes. Seven
experimental groups of adult male rats were formulated as follows: A) controls+NS, B)
control+vehicle (saline solution of hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin), C) RES treated, D)
CdCl2+NS, E) CdCl2+vehicle, F) RES followed by CdCl2
and M) CdCl2 followed by RES. At the end of the protocol, serum levels of FSH,
LH and testosterone were measured in all groups, and testicular levels of TBARS and
superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured. Epididymal semen analysis was
performed, and testicular expression of Bcl-2, p53 and Bax was assessed by RT-PCR. Also,
histopathological changes of the testes were examined microscopically. Administration of
RES before or after cadmium chloride in rats improved semen parameters including count,
motility, daily sperm production and morphology, increased serum concentrations of
gonadotropins and testosterone, decreased testicular lipid peroxidation and increased SOD
activity. RES not only attenuated cadmium chloride-induced testicular histopathology but
was also able to protect against the onset of cadmium chloride testicular toxicity.
Cadmium chloride downregulated the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl2 and upregulated the expression
of pro-apoptotic genes p53 and Bax. Resveratrol protected against and partially reversed
cadmium chloride testicular toxicity via upregulation of Bcl2 and downregulation of p53
and Bax gene expression. The antioxidant activity of RES protects against cadmium chloride
testicular toxicity and partially reverses its effect via upregulation of BCl2 and
downregulation of p53 and Bax expression. 相似文献

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of organic and inorganic selenium (Se) supplementation on semen quality and blood serum profiles of buffalo bulls. Nine mature buffalo bulls were divided into three groups: control (non‐supplemented); organic Se (10 mg Sel‐Plex®/head twice weekly) and inorganic Se (10 mg sodium selenite/head twice weekly). Semen was collected twice a week for 3 months during Se supplementation. Semen properties were evaluated from fresh ejaculate. Moreover, fructose concentration, aspartate and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) activities, total protein and total cholesterol were assayed in seminal plasma. Additionally AST, ALT, testosterone and Se levels were determined in the blood serum. Results showed that Se supplementation significantly (P < 0.05) influences the semen parameters during 3 months of treatment. Organic Se significantly (P < 0.05) increased the percentage of viable sperms compared to inorganic Se and the control group. Fructose concentration was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the seminal plasma of organic Se‐treated bulls. Serum testosterone and Se concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) increased in the Se supplemented groups than the control group. In conclusion, Se supplementation improved the parameters of buffalo bull semen and more precisely, organic Se was more effective for the improvement of semen quality and some blood components than inorganic Se. 相似文献

Changes in soil chemical properties resulting from continuous rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation on the Nile Delta soils of Egypt were examined. The eight soil profiles characterized for this study were designated as 0 (crop rotation without rice), 1 (crop rotation with rice after every 2 years), and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 representing continuous rice cultivation for 2, 4, 8, 12, 15, and 20 years, respectively. Sampling was conducted at 0–20, 20–40, 40–60, and 60–80 cm depths for each profile and samples analyzed for a suite of chemical properties. Soil pH, salinity indicators [electrical conductivity (EC), and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP)], as well as soluble and exchangeable cations and anions such as chloride and sulfate, all tended to decrease with years of continuous rice cultivation, with a number of significant (p < 0·05) differences observed. Cation exchange capacity (CEC) increased with years of continuous rice cultivation, with a 12% increase observed between 2‐ and 20‐year continuous rice cultivation systems. Principal component analysis conducted on soil properties within the continuous rice cultivation systems (profiles 2–7) revealed two possible components, namely F1 (pH, EC, ESP, and soluble Na+, Mg2+, K+, Cl−, and SO4−2) and F2 (clay, organic matter, and CEC), which could be broadly associated to soil salinity and soil fertility, respectively. Findings suggested possible alterations in soil chemical properties by continuous rice cultivation practices on these Nile Delta soils of Egypt, Africa. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

To investigate the impact of 1BL.1RS translocation on protein content, starch quality, dough rheology, RMT volumes and other quality traits, a doubled haploid population was created and sown in a two-year field experiment. Translocated genotypes accumulated more proteins in the endosperm than non-translocated genotypes. Decrease in the gelatinization of starch was associated with the 1BL.1RS translocation. As for rheological parameters, adapted to bread types not requiring high mixing energy, the 1BL.1RS translocation significantly reduced the elasticity, tenacity and strength of the dough compared to allele c of Glu-B3. Tolerance to over-mixing was also significantly lower in translocated DH lines. In contrast to previously published work, the presence of allele Glu-D3 c resulted in significantly higher tenacity, and thus strength, compared with the allele Glu-D3 b in the present DH population. The final baking test performed on the DH lines of the population, combining favourable alleles for dough rheology and high protein content, demonstrated that in some cases lower tenacity induced by the 1BL.1RS translocation or by Glu-B3 b increases the volume of the loaves. 相似文献

Calving ease (CE) is a trait of economic importance that affects animal welfare and farm profitability. The objective of present study was to investigate genetic and environmental factors affecting CE among Primiparous (PP) and multiparous (MP) buffaloes. A total of 9,627 records from 1999 MP and 2,110 PP recorded during the period from 1988 to 2018 were considered. Herd, season of calving, year of calving, birth weight, parity order and gestation length significantly affected CE rate, while age at first calving and sex of calf had no significant effects. Direct and maternal heritabilities of CE in PP and MP were 0.06 and 0.01, respectively. The low heritability of CE indicated that direct selection may not be an effective method to improve CE trait in Egyptian buffalo. 相似文献

A batch anaerobic composting process was investigated to evaluate the potential for biogas recovery from animal manure under the worst scenario of high initial solids and non-well adapted microorganisms. The effects of composting time and initial total solids content on biogas recovery and reduction of solids during anaerobic digestion of swine, poultry and beef manure were studied. Volatile solids reductions averaged 10% or less over a 30-day period for all initial solids contents, which was considerably lower than expected. Reductions in VS increased slightly as initial solids content in the reactor decreased. Reductions in COD were somewhat higher than for VS. The pH values were fairly stable during the composting experiments and within the range suitable for anaerobic digestion. Decreases in TKN and ammonia nitrogen during the process were insignificant, and greater decreases were observed for lower initial solids content in the reactors. Cumulative biogas production increased with decreasing solids content in the reactor for all types of manure. For the lowest initial solids contents (12-14%), swine manure produced more biogas, but at the higher initial solids contents there was little difference among the manure types. Biogas yields were about 0.5 m3/kg VS consumed for the lowest solids contents; however, yields were only about 0.2 m3/kg VS consumed for the higher initial solids. Methane content of the biogas samples averaged 49%. Based on these results, it appears that adapting microbial populations in the high solids feedstock may obtain reasonable biogas production rates and VS reduction during anaerobic digestion. Although some differences in results among the three types of manure were noted, they were not large and likely would not be significant with adapted microbial populations. 相似文献
