The recent discovery of cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) infected with a typhuslike rickettsia (designated the ELB agent) raises question whether similar rickettsial infections exist in wild flea populations. We verified presence agent and Rickettsia typhi urban suburban areas Los Angeles, Calif. Opossums trapped close proximity to residences human murine typhus cases Angeles county other within city were tested for group rickettsiae by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). spleen tissues three...
SummaryThe DV/D ratio was measured in about three and a half thousand males of pipiens quinquefasciatus, mostly from North America. It found that the average collection is usually 0.1 or less quinquefasciatus 0.6 more. In individual specimens than 0.2 former more 0.4 latter. America north 39°N. only found; south 36°N. generally present. Collections between these latitudes may contain one other form, intermediates, various mixtures three. There seems little doubt but forms do hybridize...
A radiographic scoring system for features of osteoarthritis the canine stifle joint was devised. Intra‐ and inter‐rater agreement assessed by calculation unweighted kappa statistics. “Global score,”“effusion”, “osteophytosis”, “intra‐articular mineralization” were all that had acceptable reliability, but “subchondral sclerosis” did not. The used in a 13‐month prospective study progression joint, secondary to cranial cruciate ligament deficiency, 58 dogs. In index joints characterized...
A consensus map of barley combining simple sequence repeat (SSR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and amplified (AFLP) markers has been developed by 5 Australian linkage maps, Galleon × Haruna Nijo, Chebec Harrington, Clipper Sahara, Alexis Sloop, Amaji Nijo WI2585, using the software package JOINMAP 2.0. The new consists 700 markers, with 136 being SSRs, a total genetic distance 933 cM. order appears to be in good agreement exception small inversion located close centromere...
Thirty-three cases of locally acquired murine typhus were reported in Los Angeles County residents from May 1984 through February 1988. Only eight over the previous 20-year period. Thirty (91%) resided within a suburban area encompassing approximately 50 km2 northcentral or had contact with an animal this area. Serologic testing (complement fixation and indirect fluorescent antibody) selected animals close association human revealed high prevalence seropositivity among domestic cats...
Background: Idiopathic genu valgum beyond physiological limits may require treatment, which is based on age, growth remaining, and the magnitude of deformity. There no consensus clinical, or radiologic evaluation, indications, management idiopathic valgum, can range from observation to surgical treatment using various modalities. If available, such guidelines will help surgeons offer optimal their patients. The aim our study was establish an expert evaluation valgum. Methods: An...
Abstract YLM, a codaominant polymerase chain reaction (PCR) marker linked to Yd2 , could substantially improve the precision and efficiency of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) resistance breeding. The aim this study was assess effectiveness YLM in marker‐assisted introgression programme quantify associations between presence other agronomic quality traits. gene introgressed into BYDV‐susceptible background through two cycles backcrossing. BC 2 F ‐derived lines, either carrying or not allele...
ABSTRACT A genetic factor, distorter (d), has been discovered that upsets the normal sex ratio of 1:1 and results in a large excess males Culex pipiens. The effect can be explained by sex-linked, recessive gene. Males homozygous for gene (Md/md) produce few female offspring; is not due to postzygotic mortality. During first meiotic division spermatogenesis, shortest chromosome pair, which, according Jost Laven (1971), associated with determination, seen abnormal. In high proportion...
Selection for malting quality traits is a major breeding objective barley programs. With molecular markers linked to loci affecting these traits, this selection can be undertaken at an earlier stage of the program than possible using conventional tests. Quantitative trait (QTLs) associated with were mapped in 2 populations derived from parents elite quality. Progeny Arapiles/Franklin population grown 4 environments and Alexis/Sloop 5 tested grain protein percentage, α-amylase activity,...
Proximal diffusion of local anaesthetic solution after perineural anaesthesia may lead to the desensitisation structures other than those intended. However, there is no evidence-based study demonstrating potential distribution and analgesia in distal limb.To document using a radiopaque contrast model evaluate influence walking compared with confinement stable injection.Radiopaque medium was injected subcutaneously over one palmar nerve at base proximal sesamoid bones 6 nonlame mature horses....
Summary Reasons for performing study : Lameness is highly prevalent in working horses, but published reports on the associated pathological abnormalities are lacking. With over 42 million horses developing countries and majority used work, lameness has major welfare implications. Objectives To describe range prevalence of with horses. Methods A standard assessment was adapted field use equids. Data pain responses feet, limbs spine were collected through observation, palpation, manipulations...
Lameness is prevalent in working donkeys and has major welfare implications; however, a detailed study of the associated clinical signs lacking.To describe range prevalence conformation with lameness draught donkeys.Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study.Data were collected from 102 Pakistan. A assessment adapted for was used to record lameness, gait, limb pain responses feet, limbs spine using observation, palpation manipulation. at walk scored 0 10 (sound nonweightbearing).Every...
The aims of this prospective study were to investigate the associations and correlations between individual clinical features osteoarthritis cruciate deficient stifle joint document temporal changes in these over a 13-month period following surgical treatment. Fifty-eight dogs with joint, secondary cranial ligament deficiency, examined before treatment for deficiency at one half, seven 13 months after surgery. At each visit, graded using four-point, discontinuous, ordinal grading (Likert)...
