| environmental considerations for the disposal of pbb-contaminated animals and wastes. | accidental contamination of livestock feed in 1973 by polybrominated biphenyls (pbb) led to the destruction of over 30,000 animals in michigan. animal carcasses of mostly dairy cattle along with some beef cattle, hogs, sheep and rabbits destroyed under the federal food and drug administration guidelines were disposed on the land at an environmentally safe site in kalkaska county, michigan. the geology and hydrology of the disposal site on state-owned land is considered favorable for the disposal ... | 1978 | 209986 |
| assessment of the hazards of polybrominated biphenyls. | during their peak use period, pbbs represented under 1% of the total sales of fire retardant chemicals, and very probably would have escaped intensive study if they had not been mixed accidentally with animal feed preparations. instead, international attention was drawn to pbbs by the state-supervised killing of over 35,000 cattle which had been contaminated with pbbs. interestingly, low doses of pbbs exert a broad spectrum of toxicological, pharmacological, and biochemical effects despite low a ... | 1978 | 209999 |

| hyperkeratosis induced by sunlight degradation products of the major polybrominated biphenyl in firemaster. | sunlight photodegradation of 2,2', 4,4', 5,5' -hexabromobiphenyl, the major component of firemaster, gave a mixture that produces severe hyperkeratosis of the rabbit ear. this component in its pure state does not cause hyperkeratosis. one or more of the four major photolysis products must be responsible for this activity. a similar photodegradation pattern was observed for 2,2', 3,4,4', 5,5' -heptabromobiphenyl, the second largest component of firemaster. | 1981 | 6266016 |
| hepatic granuloma due to a nymph of linguatula serrata in a woman from michigan: a case report and review of the literature. | there have been seven cases of human infection by nymphs of linguatula serrata reported from the united states. only three of these, however, are proven to be autochthonous. we report a rare case of hepatic granuloma due to a nymph of l. serrata in a woman from michigan. she had never left the continental united states. | 1984 | 6364856 |

| observations on besnoitiosis in virginia opossum (didelphis virginiana) from michigan, usa. | besnoitia tissue cysts were found in five naturally-infected adult opossums (didelphis virginiana) from michigan. details of the microscopy, histopathology, ultra-structure, and genetic features of the cysts were studied to identify their species-specific traits. the materials were differentiated phenotypically from cysts of other besnoitia spp. by difference in size, pattern of tissue distribution, morphology of pellicle and nucleus, number of micronemes and rhoptries, amount of lipids and amyl ... | 2007 | 17580564 |
| risk assessment methodologies for exposure of great horned owls (bubo virginianus) to pcbs on the kalamazoo river, michigan. | dietary exposures of great horned owls (gho; bubo virginianus) to polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) in the terrestrial food web at the kalamazoo river, michigan, usa, were examined. average potential daily doses (apdd) in gho diets were 7- to 10-fold and 3-fold greater at the more contaminated location versus a reference location for site-specific exposures quantified as total pcbs and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin equivalents (teq(who-avian)), respectively. wetland/aquatic prey contributed ... | 2008 | 18260206 |

| great horned owl (bubo virginianus) dietary exposure to pcdd/df in the tittabawassee river floodplain in midland, michigan, usa. | soils and sediments in the floodplain of the tittabawassee river downstream of midland, michigan, usa contain elevated concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (pcdf) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (pcdd). as a long-lived, resident top predator, the great horned owl (bubo virginianus; gho) has the potential to be exposed to bioaccumulative compounds such as pcdd/df. site-specific components of the gho diet were collected along 115 km of the tittabawassee, pine, chippewa, and sagina ... | 2010 | 20872700 |
