| local people's attitudes towards conservation and wildlife tourism around sariska tiger reserve, india. | conservationists in the recent years view local peoples' support for protected areas management as an important element of biodiversity conservation. this is often linked to the direct benefits, which local communities get from the protected areas. these benefits could be in the form of biomass resources, park funds diverted to local villages by state agencies and revenue from wildlife tourism. there are a very few studies which have attempted to study the direct relationship between benefits fr ... | 2003 | 14680895 |
| establishment of proliferative cell nuclear antigen gene as an internal reference gene for polymerase chain reaction of a wide range of archival and fresh mammalian tissues. | polymerase chain reaction (pcr) from paraffin-embedded tissues provides a powerful tool to amplify dna from a variety of recent and archival material. because dna from paraffin-embedded samples is more degraded than from fresh material, the amplification of reference genes is essential to exclude false-negative results. this study describes the use of the proliferative cell nuclear antigen (pcna) gene as a reference gene in a range of animal species and in humans. the pcna-pcr to amplify a fragm ... | 2003 | 14667025 |
| culture and phenotypic characterization of a wolbachia pipientis isolate. | the recent isolation of wolbachia pipientis in the continuous cell line aa23, established from eggs of a strain of the asian tiger mosquito aedes albopictus, allowed us to perform extensive characterization of the isolate. bacterial growth could be obtained in c6/36, another a. albopictus cell line, at 28 degrees c and in a human embryonic lung fibroblast monolayer at 28 and 37 degrees c, confirming that its host cell range is broader than was initially thought. the bacteria were best visualized ... | 2003 | 14662922 |
| how the mesencephalic locomotor region recruits hindbrain neurons. | this chapter summarizes experiments which were designed to reveal how repetitive electrical stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region (mlr) recruits nearby hindbrain neurons into activity, such that locomotion can ensue in the tiger salamander, a. tigrinum. the mlr stimulus strength was subthreshold or near-threshold for locomotor movements to ensue. such relatively weak stimulation of the mlr produced locomotor movements after a relatively long delay, which featured neuronal interaction ... | 2004 | 14653167 |
| pure akinesia: an unusual phenotype of hallervorden-spatz syndrome. | two siblings were seen in our outpatient movement disorders clinic with an indolent clinical picture of a pure akinesia syndrome. magnetic resonance showed the typical "eye of the tiger" sign, and genetic screening disclosed that both siblings were compound heterozygotes with two missense mutations in the pank2 gene 734a-->g and 1172t-->c. this case report highlights the phenotypic diversity of hallervorden spatz syndrome and the need for further investigation of adult-onset pure akinesia syndro ... | 2003 | 14639680 |

| unraveling the hallervorden-spatz syndrome: pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration is the name. | after the recent discovery of the major genetic defect in neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (nbia, formerly hallervorden-spatz syndrome), this heterogeneous group of disorders can now be differentiated by clinical, radiographic, and molecular features. | 2003 | 14631201 |
| drug resistance in nematodes: a paper tiger or a real problem? | the purpose of this review is to illustrate where drug resistance in parasitic nematodes has become a major problem. the mechanisms underlying anthelmintic resistance, the possible reasons for the development of anthelmintic resistance, and recommendations to minimize the further development of anthelmintic resistance in humans will be addressed. | 2003 | 14624106 |
| aging in a tiger welfare regime: the single elderly in hong kong. | this paper explores the coping strategies of the low income single elderly in hong kong, which are divided into several broad types: government-orientated (public services); market-orientated; community-orientated; and individually-orientated (practically speaking self restraint and denial). it highlights this group's reliance on the government, which not only provides housing, medical care and other services, but is also a major source of income support, although support levels are seriously in ... | 2001 | 14617983 |
| genomic sequence of a ranavirus (family iridoviridae) associated with salamander mortalities in north america. | disease is among the suspected causes of amphibian population declines, and an iridovirus and a chytrid fungus are the primary pathogens associated with amphibian mortalities. ambystoma tigrinum virus (atv) and a closely related strain, regina ranavirus (rrv), are implicated in salamander die-offs in arizona and canada, respectively. we report the complete sequence of the atv genome and partial sequence of the rrv genome. sequence analysis of the atv/rrv genomes showed marked similarity to other ... | 2003 | 14599794 |
| the hyperpriming phenomenon in normal aging: a consequence of cognitive slowing? | increased semantic priming effects (hyperpriming) are sometimes observed in alzheimer's disease (ad) and in normal aging. whereas the processes underlying this phenomenon are now well understood in ad, the interpretation is much more woolly in normal aging. to explore semantic priming, the authors used a lexical decision task in which the influence of attention and cognitive slowing was controlled. to explore the semantic organization, the words had coordinate (tiger-lion) or attribute relations ... | 2003 | 14599272 |

| familial pediatric rapidly progressive extrapyramidal syndrome: is it hallervorden-spatz disease? | the clinical features of two children of a family with rapidly progressive extrapyramidal-pyramidal-dementia complex have been described. inheritance seems most likely to be autosomal recessive. magnetic resonance imaging results of brain were negative. even so, the authors argued in favor of a diagnosis of hallervorden-spatz disease because the cases fulfilled the clinical criteria for diagnosis of this disease. apart from the negative magnetic resonance findings, the other unusual feature was ... | 2003 | 14580665 |
| n-methyl-d-aspartate receptors contribute to the baseline noise of retinal ganglion cells. | whole-cell recordings of tiger salamander ganglion cells were obtained using a superfused retinal slice preparation. membrane current fluctuations were recorded under voltage-clamp conditions with cells usually held at -70 mv. current fluctuations at rest (mg2+ = 1 mm) were reduced by adding d-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate (d-ap7). resting fluctuations were increased by adding n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) or by removing extracellular mg2+. these increased fluctuations were blocked by d-ap7. block ... | 2014 | 14570254 |
| diagnostic and molecular evaluation of three iridovirus-associated salamander mortality events. | in 1998 viruses were isolated from tiger salamander larvae (ambystoma tigrinum diaboli and a. tigrinum melanostictum) involved in north dakota and utah (usa) mortality events and spotted salamander (a. maculatum) larvae in a third event in maine (usa). although sympatric caudates and anurans were present at all three sites only ambystomid larvae appeared to be affected. mortality at the north dakota site was in the thousands while at the utah and maine sites mortality was in the hundreds. sick l ... | 2003 | 14567216 |
| was elusive carnivore a panther? dna typing of faeces reveals the mystery. | in this study, we report the findings of a recent case in which the officials of an indian zoo claimed that an animal, possibly a carnivore, is periodically visiting the zoo from a nearby vast forest area and causing panic in zoo and nearby villages. they collected some elusive faecal material from the vicinity of an herbivore enclosure. looking to the pugmarks found in that area and faecal matter ceased, the officials could not decide whether it was a lioness, a tiger or a panther. we resolved ... | 2003 | 14550608 |
