| female choice selects for a viability-based male trait in pheasants. | recent theory on sexual selection suggests that females in species without paternal care choose mates by their secondary sexual characters because these indicate genotypic quality which will be transmitted to the offspring. these ideas are not yet empirically supported as data quantifying the relationship between female mate choice and female reproductive success are lacking. only in one case, in colias butterflies, has it been demonstrated unequivocally that females choose 'good genotypes' as m ... | 1989 | 2911350 |
| rapid induction of b-cell lymphomas: insertional activation of c-myb by avian leukosis virus. | eu-8 is a recombinant avian leukosis virus (alv) constructed in vitro, which carries long terminal repeats and gag and pol genes from ring-necked pheasant virus and the env gene from ur2av. unlike either parent virus, when injected into 10-day-old chicken embryos, eu-8 induces a high incidence of clonally arising b-cell lymphomas within an unusually short latent period, often causing death within 5 to 7 weeks after infection. these tumors differ from the classic lymphoid leukosis induced by alv ... | 1988 | 2831403 |
| [susceptibility of birds other than chickens to infectious laryngotracheitis]. | susceptibility to infectious laryngotracheitis virus was studied in peafowl (pavo cristatus), various species of pheasant (phasianus colchicus, lophura swinhoeii, lophophorus impejanus), guinea-fowl (numida meleagris), canaries (serinus canaria), budgerigars (melopsittacus undulatus) and japanese quail (coturnix coturnic japonica). apart from clinical observations, experiments were evaluated in terms of histopathology, immunofluorescence, serology and recovery of virus. only peafowl and pheasant ... | 1985 | 2990066 |
| genetic determinants of neoplastic diseases induced by a subgroup f avian leukosis virus. | two subgroup f avian leukosis viruses, ring-necked pheasant virus (rpv) and rav-61, were previously shown to induce a high incidence of a fatal proliferative disorder in the lungs of infected chickens. these lung lesions, termed angiosarcomas, appear rapidly (4 to 5 weeks after infection), show no evidence of proto-oncogene activation by proviral integration, and are not induced by avian leukosis viruses belonging to other subgroups. to identify the viral sequences responsible for induction of t ... | 1987 | 3029416 |

| nucleotide sequences derived from pheasant dna in the genome of recombinant avian leukosis viruses with subgroup f specificity. | recombination between viral and cellular genes can give rise to new strains of retroviruses. for example, rous-associated virus 61 (rav-61) is a recombinant between the bryan high-titer strain of rous sarcoma virus (rsv) and normal pheasant dna. nucleic acid hybridization techniques were used to study the genome of rav-61 and another rav with subgroup f specificity (rav-f) obtained by passage of rsv-rav-0 in cells from a ring-necked pheasant embryo. the nucleotide sequences acquired by these two ... | 1977 | 199737 |
| [ecology of syngamosis in a large scale farming area]. | within recent 20 years, czechoslovak agriculture has undergone considerable changes due to the introduction of largescale farming. our contribution presents the results of studies on chickens (gallus gallus f. dom.) reared traditionally on runs in an area contaminated with the eggs of syngamus trachea distributed with pheasant faeces. in addition to postmortem examination of 336 chicken tracheae, their faeces collected for one year from the runs were examined, but syngamosis was not found. studi ... | 1976 | 137683 |
| evolutionary shift in the site of cleavage of prelysozyme. | sequences are presented for the signal peptides of prelysozymes from 6 species of birds and compared to the known sequence for chicken prelysozyme c. the sequencing was done with synthetic oligonucleotides as primers and oviduct mrna as the template, obviating the need to clone dna from these species. ring-necked pheasant prelysozyme c differs from all other prelysozymes c and pre-alpha-lactalbumins examined by being cleaved in vivo between amino acid residues 17 and 18 instead of between residu ... | 1986 | 3511061 |
| light and electron microscopy observations in the thyroid gland of the pheasant (phasianus colchicus l.). | in the summer, the pheasant thyroid presents as a relatively quiescent organ with reduced secretory activity; the follicular epithelium is very low and mostly of the pavement type, while the follicles are unwontedly large and contain an increased amount of colloid. the follicular cell cytoplasm contains numerous characteristic spherical vacuolar structures. in the winter, however, the thyroid displays remarkable reconstruction and raised activity of the follicular cells, which are much higher an ... | 1977 | 616682 |
| treatment of nematodiasis in poultry and game birds with fenbendazole. | administration of 100 ppm fenbendazole to 661 pheasants (phasianus colchicus colchicus) and 25 partridges (perdix perdix) for 4 days reduced natural infection with syngamus trachea and/or capillaria obsignata and in some cases with heterakis spp. by more than 90%. a 5-day administration of feed medicated with 30 or 60 ppm fenbendazole resulted in almost 100% efficacy against natural c. obsignata and heterakis gallinae infection in 343 pullets. the treated pullets were kept under poor hygienic co ... | 1984 | 6743169 |
| ahemeral light-dark cycles and egg production parameters of ring-necked pheasants (phasianus colchicus). | the effects of two ahemeral light-dark (l:d) cycles on ring-necked pheasant egg production were investigated in this experiment. three groups of 36 female and 12 male 10-month-old birds were exposed to control 24-hr (14l:10d), ahemeral 22-hr (14l:8d), or ahemeral 26-hr (14l:12d) l:d cycle. average percent hen-day egg production (hdep) was 63.8 for hens exposed to ahemeral 26-hr l:d cycle compared with 55.6% hdep for the controls. although this was not significant (p less than .05). it suggests a ... | 1987 | 3588492 |

| pharmacokinetics of a long-acting oxytetracycline preparation in ring-necked pheasants, great horned owls, and amazon parrots. | after a single iv or im dose of a long-acting oxytetracycline (otc) preparation, serum concentrations were determined at various times in the ring-necked pheasant, great horned owl, and amazon parrot. pharmacokinetic parameters, including serum half-life (t1/2) and apparent volume of distribution (vd) were calculated from the otc concentration-time curves for each species and route of administration. significant differences (p less than 0.05) were found in the t1/2 and vd parameters between spec ... | 1985 | 4083606 |
| transmission of histomonas meleagridis to domestic fowl by means of earthworms recovered from pheasant yard soil. | four cockerels and two poults were fed ground earthworms recovered from soil where ring-necked pheasants (phasianus colchicus) were raised. all 4 cockerels showed mild signs of histomoniasis, and numerous heterakis were recovered at necropsy. one of the 2 poults died, with typical gross and microscopic lesions of histomoniasis. heterakis eggs recovered from the 4 cockerels were used to infect an additional 12 cockerels and 11 poults. | 1975 | 1239268 |
| isolation of the pigeon pmv-1 variant of newcastle disease virus from imported pheasants (phasianus colchicus). | isolation of a virulent pigeon paramyxovirus 1 (ppmv-1) strain of newcastle disease virus (ndv) from pheasants imported for release is reported. although no clinical signs or postmortem lesions suggesting ndv infection were detected, the intestine was processed for attempted virus isolation as part of a surveillance programme on wild-bird populations. the potential role of pheasants as carriers of the disease, and the importance of developing surveillance programmes for wild bird populations is ... | 1994 | 7597861 |
| effect of t-lymphocyte depletion on the pathogenesis of marble spleen disease virus infection in ring-necked pheasants. | the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cyclosporine (csp)-mediated t-lymphocyte depletion on the pathogenesis of marble spleen disease virus (msdv) infection in ring-necked pheasants. seventy-two 6-week-old pheasants were divided into three groups; one group of 18 birds was inoculated with msdv, a second group of 18 birds was treated with csp, and a third group of 36 birds was both treated with csp and inoculated with msdv. two birds each from both of the smaller groups and fou ... | 1995 | 7794193 |
