Abstract Methamphetamine is a commonly abused psychostimulant that causes addiction and often by pregnant women. Acute or chronic administration of methamphetamine elevates the levels extracellular monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine. The aim present study was to show whether prenatal exposure (5 mg/kg, entire gestation) saline in Wistar rats induces changes dopamine its metabolites nucleus accumbens, behavior (locomotor activity, rearing, immobility) after challenge dose (1 mg/kg)...
Abstract The determination of δ 13 C and 15 N values is a common method in archaeological isotope analysis—in studying botanical human remains, dietary practices, less typically soils (to understand methods agricultural cultivation, including fertilization). Stable measurements are also commonly used ecological studies to distinguish different ecosystems trace diachronic processes biogeochemical mechanisms, however, the application this geochemical prospection, for determining historic...
Abstract Archaeological Dark Earth soil is a category of archaeological anthrosols that has gained much attention because it exhibits higher nutrient content and organic matter stocks characteristic dark colour, enables crop yields in comparison to neighbouring soil. However, unknown about the chemical properties soils Central Europe. Therefore, we studied European (EDE) soil, type territory early medieval Dřevíč hillfort, Czech Republic, aiming compare EDE with control unaffected by...
ABSTRACT Mycoplasma conjunctivae is the etiological agent of infectious keratoconjunctivitis, a highly contagious ocular infection that affects both domestic and wild Caprinae species in European Alps. In order to study transmission spread M. across populations, we developed molecular method for subtyping identifying strains . This based on DNA sequence determination variable domain within gene lppS , encodes an antigenic lipoprotein shows variations among different but remains constant upon...
Between March and December 1999, five free-ranging lynx (Lynx lynx) affected by mange were found dead or shot game wardens in the Swiss Alps. In first two cases, Notoedres cati was isolated from skin; third fourth case, Sarcoptes scabiei cause of infection; fifth a mixed infection diagnosed. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) with sarcoptic domestic cats infested N. are likely to be sources infection. It seems improbable that will occur as an epidemic Switzerland, but losses due infections and/or S....
The occurrence of infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) was assessed in alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra) Grisons (Switzerland) from 1950 to 1999. first IKC outbreaks were reported the 1950's. Since then, number affected subpopulations constantly increased and, by 1999, 39 51 (77%) sub-populations. From 1992-99, a total 243 which died consequences recorded. cases differed between years, and distinct seasonal trend observed. Infectious more common during summer autumn, with 48%...
Sixty chemical immobilizations of red deer (Cervus elaphus hippelaphus) have been carried out during an etho-ecological study from August 1994 to December 1996 in a 35 ha pen the district Nitra (Slovac Republic). Our objective was determine efficacy and standard dosages Zoletil® Rompun® for immobilization adult feral conditions as alternative use highly toxic opioids. We therefore compared Immobilon®-Rompun® combination (ImRo) with 1:1 mixture (ZoRo) injectable solution. Use both...
Infection with the larval stage of cestode parasite Echinococcus multilocularis was diagnosed in a European beaver (Castor fiber) central Switzerland. The animal hit, run over by car, and died trauma. It normal body condition no signs disease were seen. At necropsy, multiple cystic structures up to 1 cm diameter found liver adjacent hilus. Within vesicles, protoscolices visible. species determined be upon polymerase chain reaction direct immunofluorescence MAbG11-FITC. This is first report beaver.
From 1997 to 2000, complete necropsy and histopathologic investigations were performed on 157 free-ranging European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) found dead throughout Switzerland. Organ samples of all these individuals (157 livers 107 spleens available) tested for hare syndrome virus (EBHSV)-antigen by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test kit. Furthermore, 60 additional blood antibodies against EBHSV ELISA. In addition, liver 87 mountain timidus) hunted in 1996 EBHSV-antigen. two...
