| the behaviour of porcine cytomegalovirus in commercial pig herds. | a longitudinal, virological and serological study of pigs in two herds with respiratory disease showed that infection by porcine cytomegalovirus (pcmv) was universal in both. virus excretion usually began when piglets were between 3 and 6 weeks of age and reached a maximum between 5 and 8 weeks; it was usually no longer detectable at 11-12 weeks. antibody demonstrable in indirect immunofluorescence (iif) tests was present to moderate or high titre in all piglets at 2-3 weeks. this was presumed t ... | 1976 | 173754 |

| the obstetrical use in ancient and early modern times of convolvulus scammonia or scammony: another non-fungal source of ergot alkaloids? | this brief historical survey documenting the use of ergot alkaloids throughout ancient times for obstetrical purposes (labor induction and control of uterine hemmorrhage) takes its data from works of theophrastus (who wrote enquiry into plants around 300 b.c.), pliny, dioscorides, and others. what this history documents is another source for the ergot besides the fungus clavicips purpurea; notations from greek, mexican, and english catalogers show that the family convolvulaceae is a constant so ... | 1979 | 396416 |
| the prevalence of sarcocystis spp in dogs and red foxes. | protozoan parasites of the genus sarcocystis have been recognised for many years as intramuscular cysts of numerous vertebrates. it is only comparatively recently that the two-host nature of the life cycle has been recognised and that the intramuscular cysts are a stage in the developmental cycle of coccidian parasites of flesh eating mammals (fayer 1974, fayer and johnson 1973, 1974, rommel and others 1972, dubey 1976). carnivores ingest the intramuscular cysts from herbivores and presumably fr ... | 1978 | 416553 |
| the treatment of acute accidental hypothermia: proceedings of a symposium held at the raf institute of aviation medicine. | a symposium was held at the raf institute of aviation medicine, farnborough, hampshire, on feb. 28, 1978. the purpose of the meeting was to distill up-to-date expert opinion to provide advice for those faced with the treatment of victims of exposure or cold water immersion. in particular, it was intended to recommend practical measures which could be employed in the field. however, it soon became apparent that there are large gaps in our knowledge of the physiology of hypothermia. these made the ... | 1979 | 496754 |

| lung cancer in the meat industry. | routine statistics of occupational mortality and incidence of cancer have consistently shown high rates of lung cancer in butchers. possible explanations include infection by carcinogenic papilloma viruses, exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrites in the preservation of meat, or a confounding effect of tobacco. to explore these possibilities, we have examined the mortality of 1610 men employed at three british companies processing pork, beef, lamb, bacon, and other meat products ... | 1989 | 2930728 |
| clinical observations on seasonal infertility in sows in cornwall. | a summer infertility syndrome affected three commercial pig herds in cornwall and was associated with reduced conception rates. the affected sows were housed in kennel and yard accommodation for all or part of gestation. the provision of more shelter accommodation for the dry sows in all three herds resulted in improved fertility. it is concluded that weather conditions between may and september may have adversely affected the fertility of these semi-extensive pig herds. | 1988 | 3201668 |

| studies on the 1967--68 foot and mouth disease epidemic: incubation period and herd serial interval. | the incubation period during this epidemic was studied using both a spectral analysis-cum-filtering method and analysis of case histories. using spectral analysis, the modal herd serial interval was estimated to be 8--10 days based on the record of the daily number of outbreaks and an adjusted cattler series. the case histories tended to confirm these estimates but indicated that the serial interval varied considerably between species. the filtering method revealed that the herd serial interval ... | 1976 | 1068194 |
