avian mycoplasma and pathogenicity--a review.m. gallisepticum, m. synoviae and m. meleagridis are pathogenic strains of avian mycoplasma. m. gallisepticum and m. synoviae affect the chicken and turkey while m. meleagridis is associated with disease in the turkey. the tissues affected and the lesions are described and the influence on disease production of certain factors is considered. they include the age of the host, route of infection, numbers and virulence of organisms and predisposing and debilitating factors. the mechanism of pathoge ...197518777305
the effect of marek's disease vaccination on the immunisation of day-old chicks against newcastle disease, using b1 and oil emulsion vaccine.concurrent vaccination of one-day-old chicks with 2 x 10(5) 50% embryo infectious doses of live b1 newcastle disease virus and 0.25 ml killed oil emulsion newcastle disease vaccine produced satisfactory levels of circulating haemagglutination inhibiting antibody although the recipient chicks possessed titres of maternally derived antibody as high as 10 log(2). this effect was also seen when the chicks were given turkey herpesvirus for immunisation against marek's disease. the satisfactory newcas ...197618777359
immunisation of maternally immune turkey poults against newcastle disease.turkey poults possessing maternally-derived antibody to newcastle disease respond poorly, in terms of haemagglutination inhibiting (hai) antibody response, to vaccination within the first 4 weeks of life. this unsatisfactory effect occurs both with live la sota vaccine administered by intraocular/intranasal instillation or with killed oil emulsion adjuvant vaccine given by intramuscular injection. re-vaccination of these birds with killed emulsion vaccine at 4 or 6-weeks-old indicates that they ...197618777360
organophosphate toxicity in wild turkeys.an accidental poisoning of wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo silvestris) by o,o-diethyl o-[p-(methylsulfinyl) phenyl] phosphorothioate is reported. diagnosis was achieved by history, clinical observations, postmortem lesions, diagnostic therapy and pesticide analysis.197616502698

parasite cultivation in relation to research on the chemotherapy of malaria.attempts to develop techniques for the continuous in vitro cultivation of the malaria parasite have not yet proved successful. it has not been possible to obtain the complete sporogonic development of the parasite in vitro although some progress was made with plasmodium relictum and p. berghei. exoerythrocytic stages of p. gallinaceum have been successfully cultivated in vitro in tissue explants and those of p. fallax have been grown in turkey primary embryo tissue cells. with the recent develop ...19761086733
structural aspects of immune recognition of lysozymes. iii. t cell specificity restriction and its consequences for antibody specificity.we have studied the relationship between the determinants encountered by t cells on an antigenic molecule and the specificities of the antibodies eventually produced by the b cells with which these t cells cooperate. the number of epitopes on the hen lysozyme (hel) molecule available to t cell receptors was functionally limited by inducing t cell tolerance to hel in rabbits. highly cross-reactive lysozymes were then used to challenge the hel-unresponsive rabbits. only t cells which recognize ne ...19761087241
characterization of avian influenza viruses. designation of a newly recognized haemagglutinin.studies with specific antisera to the haemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens of all the influenza a subtypes show that a/turkey/wisconsin/66 influenza virus, originally included in the hav6 subtype, does not react in either haemagglutinin inhibition or immunodiffusion tests with antisera to hav6. it is therefore proposed that a/turkey/wisconsin/66 be placed in a new subtype designated hav9. the neuraminidase antigens of the hav6 subtype were further characterized and were shown to be n1, n2, ...19761088405
periodontal condition in turkish recruits.the periodontal condition of 300 turkish troops was investigated using the modified ramfjord periodontal disease index. in addition, the gingival condition, presence and quantity of plaque and calculus, location and depth of periodontal pockets, tooth mobility, presence and severity of wear facets, diastema magnitude and the dmft index were determined. the average pdi was 3.8. nearly 98% of the recruits suffered from gingivitis, 68% of whom exhibited moderate to severe inflammation without invol ...19761061650
[radiological anatomical examinations in skulls from anthropological collections (author's transl)].a total of 114 skulls dating from the neolithic age, the bronze age and the iron age, of incas and red indians, of asians from north and south china, as well as negro skulls found in turkey were radiologically analysed and compared with control skulls of recent origin. the 3 standard x-ray views were taken (postero-anterior, axial and lateral) and appropriate linear and angle measurements were carried out. the resultant 4120 values were compared by variance analysis and the differences between t ...19761067692
coupling of catecholamine receptor from one cell with adenylate cyclase from another cell by cell fusion.the experiments test the hypothesis that beta-adrenergic receptor is an independent unit that can be transferred from one adenylate cyclase [atp pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), ec 4-6-1-1[ system to another. turkey erythrocytes in which the catalytic activity of adenylate cyclase had been inactivated by n-ethylmaleimide or by heat contributed the beta-adrenergic receptor. friend erythroleukemia cells (f cells) that possessed no measurable beta-adrenergic receptor contributed the adenylate cycla ...19761069993
useful genetic sources of economic importance and their utlization in wheat-breeding programs in pakistan.wheat breeders the world over have been utilizing genetic sources to tailor the varieties to meet ever-changing requirements. in the late 1940s dr. borlaug at cimmyt recognized that further increase in yield would be possible only if lodging in the existing wheat varieties could be avoided, for which he began to look for a suitable source for dwarfness. the japanese had developed semidwarf norin strains through a series of crosses involving a local line, daruma; american soft red winter variety, ...19761073215
