| evaluation of relationship between plasma fibrinogen concentration and tuberculin testing in red deer. | after intradermal injection of bovine purified derivative (ppd), increases in plasma fibrinogen concentration and plasma viscosity developed in red deer (cervus elaphus) with a history of tuberculosis caused by mycobacterium bovis. serum haptoglobin concentrations were also found to increase under similar circumstances. the increases were reproducible and did not appear to be related to mustering, stress, or the handling associated with injection of ppd. a significant (p less than 0.05) direct r ... | 1991 | 2071482 |
| transferrin polymorphism and genetic differentiation in cervus elaphus l. (european red deer) populations. | a study of transferrin in 11 different european populations of cervus elaphus as well as in one cervus elephus x cervus nippon hybrid population has revealed a polymorphism of this protein. genetic analysis suggests that it is controlled by one gene locus with three codominant alleles. the allele frequencies allow a clear discrimination not only between the hybrid population and pure red deer but also between different continental red deer populations. comparison of the genotypic structures with ... | 1991 | 1757275 |
| scanning electron microscopic observations on the development and structure of tooth enamel in cervidae (mammalia: ruminantia). | enamel formation and structure were investigated in 102 developing or erupted teeth of roe, fallow and red deer. special attention was given to the topography of the forming enamel surface, the form, arrangement and course of enamel rods, its relation to interprismatic enamel and the occurrence of hunter-schreger-bands in the enamel. discussed are the significance of the enamel pattern for the identification of certain taxa and the adaptive value of cervidean enamel structures. | 1991 | 1759724 |
| erg, an ets-related gene, codes for sequence-specific transcriptional activators. | e26 is a replication-defective avian acute leukemia virus which causes erythroblastosis and myeloblastosis in chickens. it carries two distinct oncogenes, v-myb and v-ets, both of which contribute to its transforming properties. several genes related to the ets oncogene (c-ets-1, ets-2, erg, elk-1, elk-2, pu.1/spi-1, e74 and fli-1) have been described. previously we have shown that the erg gene (ets-related gene) codes for at least two proteins (erg-1 and erg-2) because of alternative splicing a ... | 1991 | 1766675 |
| [pathologic changes in the lungs of deer spontaneously infected with nematodes from the protostrongylidae family]. | lungs of 30 animals of the red deer (cervus elaphus hippelaphus) attacked by parasitic helminths were submitted to a histological examination, and the changes which were caused by the nematodes of protostrongylidae family were estimated. the lungworm varestrongylus sagittatus (mueller, 1891) creates hatching tubercles of a dark-red or yellow-green and even ochre colour. the lobular catarrhal bronchopneumonia is a histological correlate. in hatching tubercles there are located adult nematodes, ov ... | 1991 | 1771735 |
| temporal changes in lh and testosterone and their relationship with the first antler in red deer (cervus elaphus) stags from 3 to 15 months of age. | blood samples were taken from six tame red deer stags at 3-15 months of age once a month from a jugular catheter every 30 min for 24 h to investigate hormonal secretion during puberty and during growth of the pedicle and first antler. all plasma samples were analysed for lh and testosterone concentrations and the resultant data were analysed using the pulsar pulse detection routine. in addition each stag was injected wih gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (gnrh; 20 ng/kg body weight) after the abov ... | 1991 | 1783890 |
| tuberculosis in domesticated red deer: comparison of purified protein derivative and the specific protein mpb70 for in vitro diagnosis. | the use of a mycobacterium bovis-specific protein, mycobacterial protein bovis 70 (mpb70), was compared with complex, m bovis-derived purified protein derivative (bovine ppd), for its ability to improve the diagnostic precision of in vitro assays for tuberculosis in farmed deer. a combination of lymphocyte transformation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was used to differentiate between specific m bovis reactivity and crossreactivity due to sensitisation with saprophytic mycobacteri ... | 1991 | 1882133 |
| prostaglandin-induced secretion of oxytocin and prolactin in red (cervus elaphus) and pere david's (elaphurus davidianus) deer hinds: evidence for oxytocin of luteal origin. | peripheral plasma concentrations of oxytocin in female red deer during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle (9.3 +/- 2.1 fmol/ml) exceeded those in the follicular phase (3.1 +/- 1.4) or during seasonal anoestrus (3.2 +/- 1.3). in both red and père david's deer hinds during the mid-luteal phase of the cycle, systemic administration of a luteolytic dose of the prostaglandin f2 alpha analogue, cloprostenol, caused the concentration of oxytocin in the peripheral circulation to rise. mean (+/- sem) ... | 1991 | 1936924 |

| use of peroxidase-labelled antigen for the detection of antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi in human and animal sera. | we have developed a modified elisa for the detection of anti-borrelia burgdorferi (bb) antibodies based on a peroxidase enzyme labelled antigen (elat). microtiter plates were coated with antigen of bb. the immunoglobulins of the serum samples were bound to the antigen and specific antibodies were detected by an enzyme labelled antigen. the test principle facilitates the recognition of specific antibodies in different collectives of human and animal sera. we performed epidemiological studies with ... | 1991 | 2028231 |
| ultrasonography of the reproductive tract and early pregnancy in red deer. | thirty-five farmed red deer hinds two years of age or older were observed during mating in april and may and the dates of oestrus and, or, matings were recorded. from immediately before the breeding season and at approximately weekly intervals from the start of mating until all deer were 42 days pregnant, rectal ultrasonographic scans were taken using a 5 mhz linear transducer while deer were held standing in a restraining device. scans were recorded on video. the vagina and cervix were visible ... | 1991 | 2048270 |
| type ii ostertagiosis in farmed red deer. | a mild form of type ii ostertagiosis was recorded in a group of 12, 22-month-old red deer stags, slaughtered in an abattoir in april 1989. the animals appeared clinically normal but they were light and in rather poor condition. mixed ostertagid infections were present in very variable numbers. in the seven most heavily infected animals, 70 per cent of the worms were in the early fourth stage and assumed to be hypobiotic. in some animals the worms were maturing and in these there were lesions sim ... | 1991 | 2048271 |
| observations on the output of nematode eggs in faeces and on the subsequent pasture infestation with third stage larvae produced by a herd of farmed red deer (cervus elaphus). | more than 2900 faecal samples and 200 herbage samples were examined from january 1986 to january 1989 during a study of the host/parasite relationships of the gastrointestinal nematodes of a herd of farmed red deer in surrey. the pattern of faecal egg output from the hinds appeared to conform to a tri-modal distribution with peaks during spring, the periparturient period and late summer. third stage larvae were present on the herbage during every month. the new generation appeared in june but le ... | 1991 | 1801404 |
| lipoptena cervi (diptera), a potential vector of megatrypanum trypanosomes of deer (cervidae). | in three different areas in northern germany, hippoboscids were collected from red deer (cervus elaphus). typanosomatids were demonstrated in the midgut and hindgut of 9/37 lipoptena cervi. the trypanosomatids were morphologically similar to vector forms of the subgenus megatrypanum that had been found in tabanids at the same location 5 years previously. hippoboscids are therefore potential vectors of trypanosoma (megatrypanum) spp. that infect red deer. | 1991 | 1805220 |
| mycobacterium bovis infection in humans exposed to elk in alberta. | the evidence of zoonotic transmission of m. bovis infection in the 1 veterinarian is confirmed by growth of the organism from his sputum 6 months after animal contact. the high rate of initial tuberculin reactivity and the skin test conversions of 6 persons in contact with culture-positive animals strongly suggest that further human infection has taken place. however, the lack of baseline testing on 48/81 test-positive individuals and the relatively high proportion of immigrants in some occupati ... | 1991 | 1841004 |
| characterization by restriction endonuclease analysis and seroagglutination of strains of mycobacterium avium and mycobacterium intracellulare obtained from farmed deer. | restriction endonuclease analysis and seroagglutination were used to characterize strains of mycobacterium avium and mycobacterium intracellulare (collectively, mai) recovered from 1 local herd and 2 imported shipments of red deer (cervus elaphus) that developed sensitization to bovine tuberculin during skin testing. a total of 31 mai strains were isolated from lymph node pools (head, thorax, abdomen, and peripheral regions) of 21 of 29 local deer. similarly, 15 mai strains were isolated from th ... | 1991 | 1849382 |

| antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated diseases: a pulmonologist's perspective. | the development of the antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (anca) test has lent support to the concept of wegener's granulomatosis as a spectrum that may affect one or more of the major anatomic sites: upper respiratory tract (e), lung (l), or kidney (k). it is c-anca that has high specificity for wegener's granulomatosis (wg). the sensitivity is highest in the fully expressed wegener's triad, or elk, and less in local regional disease. it is possible that isolated manifestations such as epi ... | 1991 | 1867176 |
| relationship between allozymes, heterozygosity and morphological characters in red deer (cervus elaphus), and the influence of selective hunting on allele frequency distribution. | morphological characters in red deer (cervus elaphus), which serve as criteria for selective hunting, were examined in relation to electrophoretic variation in three populations from the vosges in eastern france. from the polymorphic loci examined, certain alleles at idh-2, me-1 and acp-1 showed significant associations with a special development of body and antler characters selected for by hunters. idh-2(125) was associated with larger hind foot length in females and a higher number of antler ... | 1991 | 1880046 |
| effects of melatonin implants on reproductive seasonality of male red deer (cervus elaphus). | red deer stags were treated with melatonin implants in 2 experiments designed to examine the control of reproductive seasonality. in exp. 1, stags (n = 24) were allocated to 4 treatment groups: 2 groups were treated with 3 implants per stag each month from 8 november to 5 february (em) or 9 december to 5 february (lm), 1 untreated group of control stags remained with the melatonin-treated stags (cc) and the other untreated control group remained isolated (ic). melatonin treatment advanced the se ... | 1991 | 2056480 |
| spatial variability in the nutrient composition of populus tremuloides: clone-to-clone differences and implications for cervids. | populus tremuloides, a clonal angiosperm, is a major food item for many temperate-region herbivores. clonal variation in chemical composition has potentially important implications for vertebrate herbivores because a single clone may be areally large and hence, may comprise a large part of available forage. the objectives of this study were: (1) to examine spatial variability in nutrient concentrations and quality within and among 24 clones of trembling aspen, and (2) to evaluate these differenc ... | 1991 | 28312739 |
| countervailing selection in different fitness components in female red deer. | in individually monitored red deer (cervus elaphus) living in the north block of the isle of rhum, scotland, juvenile survival is related to the genotype at the enzyme loci mpi and idh-2 (each with two alleles, f and s). to establish whether other fitness components also are related to genetic differences, we examined whether age at first breeding, fecundity, and adult survival of females were related to genotype at the same loci. fertility in females shot outside the study area was also analyze ... | 1991 | 28564077 |
| wolf predation and snow cover as mortality factors in the ungulate community of the bialowieża national park, poland. | wolf-ungulate interactions were studied in the pristine deciduous and mixed forests of the bialowieża national park in 1985-1989. the study period included two severe and two mild winters. the community of ungulates inhabiting bialowieża national park consisted of red deer cervus elaphus, 55% of all ungulates; wild boar sus scrofa, 42%; and roe deer capreolus capreolus, moose alces alces, and european bison bison bonasus, about 1% each. the average size of red deer groups increased from 2.7 (sd ... | 1992 | 28312267 |
