[contamination and age as factors in the pathogenesis of atrophic rhinitis (author's transl)].the relationship between contamination with bordetella bronchiseptica or pasteurella multocida and the age of the piglets on the one hand and the pathogenesis of atrophic rhinitis on the other, is discussed. minimal disease-free piglets born and reared on farms on which pigs affected with clinical atrophic rhinitis were present, developed clinical atrophic rhinitis at the age of six weeks. piglets born in the central veterinary institute (cvi) of sows from herds including pigs affected with atro ...1978684734
pasteurella multocida infectious arthritis.pasteurella multocida, a small gram-negative rod, is a domestic animal saprophyte that occasionally causes disease in humans. infectious arthritis may develop from a superficial animal bite or scratch. nine previous cases of infectious arthritis due to this organism have been documented in the literature, and a tenth case is reported here. most patients had recent animal exposure, and half the patients had underlying chronic rheumatoid arthritis. clinical signs of inflammation were consistently ...1978686043
an agglutination test for the detection of bordetella bronchiseptica infection in swine.an agglutination test with the use of formalin-killed antigen of the cell carrying the capsule was developed and used for the detection of antibody in swine naturally infected with bordetella bronchiseptica. under optimum antigen concentration and reaction temperature 210 or 60% of 342 serum samples tested from 42 conventional swine herds were positive for bordetella infection. in contrast, only 34 or 10% of 342 nasal swabs from the same animals were positive for bordetella by culture technique. ...1978688071
the january 1977 avian cholera epornitic in northwest california.a total of 844 birds were observed dead at three sites in humboldt county and an estimated 6750 birds died at three sites in del norte county, california. coots were the primary species affected. the isolation of pasteurella multocida from a snowy egret (egretta thula) is the first reported case of avian cholera in this bird. there was evidence for a distinct sequence in the bird species dying at one site; american coots (fulica americana) appeared to be the first species to die.1978691123
pasteurella multocida from canine and feline teeth, with a case report of glossitis calcinosa in a dog caused by p. multocida.a case of glossitis calcinosa in a dog caused by pasteurella multocida is reported. swelling of the tongue and reduced appetite were the predominant clinical symptoms. due to latent infections with p. multocida in many species there is a risk of bitewounds being infected with this microorganism. in order to find the carrier-rate of p. multocida samples in canines, teeth and gingiva of 121 dogs and 30 cats were examined bacteriologically, revealing a carrier rates of 55% and 80% respectively. the ...1978693275
live streptomycin-dependent pasteurella multocida vaccine for the prevention of hemorrhagic septicemia.a type b pasteurella multocida was used for the development of a streptomycin-dependent (strd) vaccine. pasteurella multocida r-473, a hemorrhagic septicemia strain, was mutagenized with n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine to increase the likelihood of encountering a strd mutant and was plated on agar containing 400 microgram of streptomycin/ml. replica plating was used to differentiate dependent from resistant colonies. mice and rabbits were vaccinated with a strd mutant and 21 days later, wer ...1978697163
characterization of a pasteurella multocida bacteriophage.the pasteurella multocida bacteriophage b939a produces turbid plaques, which suggests infection with a temperate phage. attempts to induce production of lytic phage by uv irradiation were unsuccessful, however, bateriophage b932a is highly stable at 4 c and relatively stable at room temperature. it tolerates moist heat at 60 c, but is inactivated at 70 c in 10 minutes. morphologically, it is a tailed phage with a hexagonal head.1978697170
[atrophic rhinitis in swine].four 60-day-old pigs were experimentally infected with bordetella bronchiseptica at a state in which the animals were clinicylly normal. a single pig only, killed on the 180th day, presented a slight deflection of septum nasi. morphologically, there were severe dystrophic and necrotic changes in the mucosa of the conchae, the nasal cartilages as well as in the bones. the pathogen was reisolated from two of the pigs. clinical and morphological investigations were carried out also with spontaneous ...1978706148
partial characterization of r-plasmids from pasteurella multocida isolated from turkeys.pasteurella multocida, isolated from turkeys during an outbreak of septicemic disease ("fowl cholera"), was found to be resistant to tetracycline, streptomycin, and sulfonamides. agarose gel electrophoretic analysis of dna from these isolates indicated the presence of extrachromosomal elements. plasmid dna was isolated by cesium chloride-ethidium bromide density centrifugation. escherichia coli was transformed to antimicrobic resistance with this dna. two plasmids were isolated. one of these pla ...1978708012

sonographic evaluation of mesenteric and omental masses in children.masses in the mesenteries and omentum are often difficult to diagnose by conventional radiographic techniques. gray scale sonography was a valuable adjunct to radiographic vector analysis in four children with such masses. masses that are clearly separable from the liver and spleen and do not distort identifiable extraperitoneal structures are probably intraperitoneal. in children most cystic intraperitoneal masses are related to the mesenteries, omentum, ovary, or bile ducts. an anterior fluid ...1979414577
chromosomes in malignant lymphomas (study on short-term lymph node cultures).in 15 cases, chromosome studies were performed in short-term lymph node cultures, using the banding technique. clonal aberrations were found in two cases of hodgkin's disease and in two of lymphosarcoma. in agreement with earlier observations, the cases of lymphosarcoma with abnormal karyotypes proved hyperdiploid. no chromosomal aberrations were found in three cases of reactive lymphoreticular hyperplasia.1979352853
an avirulent live pasteurella multocida vaccine for drinking water and aerosol administration against turkey cholera.a naturally avirulent isolant of pasteurella multocida (heddleston sero-type 3) was investigated as a seed strain for the development of a live vaccine against turkey pasteurellosis. laboratory trials showed that when given in aerosol form at a dosage of 5 x 10(8) c.f.u. per m(2), of barn floor, the vaccine produced satisfactory protection against both homologous and heterologous serotypes challenge administered by aerosol. likewise, turkeys vaccinated once, twice or three times, and challenged ...197918770466
the effects of alcohol on agonistic behavior in the telomian dog.the study analyzed the effects of alcohol on agonistic behavior in three independent social systems, each compromised of two male and one female telomian dog. three dose levels were used: 0, 0.8, and 1.6 g/kg body weight of absolute alcohol diluted to 20%. observations were made when none, one (top, middle or low ranking), or all dogs in a system received a given treatment. at the 0.8 g/kg level, low ranking dogs showed an increased frequency of attacks and bone possession time, while top and mi ...1979108707
mao inhibition and the effects of centrally administered lsd, serotonin, and 5-methoxytryptamine on the conditioned avoidance response in rats.pretreatment with the mao-inhibitors iproniazid, clorgyline, or deprenyl abolishes the effects of lsd on the conditioned avoidance response (car) in rats. the effects of serotonin (5-ht) and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-mt) are greatly potentiated by these substances. brain levels of lsd are not affected by mao inhibition whereas levels of 5-ht and 5-mt are significantly elevated. it is postulated that the decreased behavioral response to lsd is the result of 'mao inhibitor-induced' changes whereas th ...1979108709
mutual antagonism of behavioral effects of trh and thiobarbiturate on an operant task in rhesus monkeys.similar excitatory or depressant response rate dependent effects on monkeys responding on a variable interval reinforcement schedule were observed following intravenous administration of either thyrotropin releasing hormone (trh) or thiobarbiturate. however, these agents were mutally antagonistic when given together even though the response rate altering effects of each agent were in the same direction. these findings establish an additional behavioral effect of exogenously administered trh in p ...1979108712
biochemical and serological studies on pasteurella multocida isolated from cattle in the sudan.of 42 strains of pasteurella meltocida isolated from different outbreaks of hemorrhagic septicaemia and from healthy cattle in various parts of the suden, 38 belonged to carters' type b and four to type e. the strain used for vaccine production was type e. with respect to somatic antigen determination, there was some correlation between the results of the gel diffusion and the agglutination tests as most strains reacted with 0 groups 6 antisera in both tests. however, some antigens cross-reacted ...1979110516

double antibody specificity of lymphoid cells isolated from normal human intestinal mucosa.lymphoid cells were isolated from normal human mucosal specimens. a certain fraction of these cells exhibited double antibody specificities at the levels of both light kappa and lambda chains and heavy mu and gamma chains. the variable frequency with which these cells were detected appears to be a characteristic of this population. they represent a very low proportion of the total number of cells isolated.1979114243
pharmacological modification of experimental tardive dyskinesia.cebus apella monkeys subjected to chronic haloperidol administration develop neurologic disturbances very similar to neuroleptic-induced acute dystonia human beings. after varying lengths of time, certain monkeys develop a prolonged dyskinetic syndrome resembling tardive dyskinesia (td), as seen clinically. two monkeys with signs of td were given single intramuscular injections of various compounds with known effects on the catecholaminergic, cholinergic, serotoninergic and gaba-ergic neurotrans ...1979115227
study of the anti-tumor effect of polypeptide pineal extract.bovine pineal polypeptide extract (ppe) exerted an anti-tumor effect on mouse-transplantable tumors: mammary cancer (rsm), squamous cell cervical carcinoma (scc), hepatoma-22a and lympholeukemia lio-1, and had no effect on harding-passey melanoma and leukemia l-1210. it was shown that ppe possessed the ability to decrease the incidence of dmba-induced mammary adenocarcinomas in rats. the daily administration of 0.5 mg ppe prolonged the life span of rats by 25% and failed to influence spontaneous ...1979117414
in vitro response to rosette inhibition factor (rif) and rosette restoring factor (rrf) of human lymphocyte after fractionation on a discontinuous density albumin gradient.in vitro studies on peripheral blood lymphocytes from tuberculous patients and healthy subjects are reported. factors isolated from human serum used in the experiments included the rosette inhibition factor (rif) from serum of tuberculous patients and the rosette restoring factor (rrf) from serum of healthy subjects. lymphocytes were fractionated on a discontinuous bsa gradient. lymphocytes from healthy subjects, sensitive to rif, as well as lymphocytes from tuberculous patients, sensitive to rr ...1979117785
comparison of pasteurella multocida serotyping systems.thirty-two type specific cultures used in four typing systems for serologically classifying pasteurella multocida were compared as originally described for: (1) little and lyon's plate agglutination test; (2) carter's indirect hemagglutination test, hyaluronidase decapsulation test, and acriflavine reaction; (3) namioka's plate and tube agglutination tests; and (4) heddleston's gel diffusion precipitin test. in addition, seven cultures from robert's five passive protection groups were included. ...1979118694
serotyping of pasteurella multocida isolants from poultry.a total of 607 pasteurella multocida strains were isolated in israel from turkeys, geese, and chickens. serotyping was carried out by the gel-diffusion precipitin test. the antigens were heat-stable saline extracts of the organisms, and the diagnostic sera were produced in chickens using formalinized bacterins. among 31 serotypes containing one to five antigenic factors, serotypes 1 and 3 accounted for 58.1%, 80.8%, and 88.9% isolants from turkeys, geese, and chickens, respectively. on the basis ...1979118742
