The infection with protozoan parasite Theileria annulata induces changes triggering the activation and/or proliferation of the host lymphocytes. In order to find out the possible
correlations among peripheral circulatory lymphocytes, cytokine activities and the level of sialic acids, 50 dairy Holstein
cattle, naturally infected with T. annulata, were divided into 4 subgroups according to their parasitemia rates (<1%, 1–3%, 3–5% and >5%). Also, ten non-infected cattle
were sampled as control group. Blood samples were taken from jugular vein into acid citrate dextrose-containing tubes for
measuring hematological parameters and B and T (CD4 and CD8) cell populations and without anticoagulant for TNF-α, IFN-γ and sialic acid concentrations. Remarkable decreases observed
in red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and packed cell volume (PCV) in infected cattle compared to healthy ones
(P < 0.05). Also, with increase in parasitemia rate, total lymphocytes and monocytes alleviated in the diseased groups. By
contrast, total neutrohpils and the concentrations of TNF-α, IFN-γ and total sialic acids were significantly elevated (P < 0.05)
in infected animals. Accordingly, the circulatory populations of CD4 and CD8 T cells and B cells showed a substantial decrease, while a significant increase was observed in T (CD4 and CD8) cells in cattle infected with <1% parasitemia rates. Decreased circulatory T cell population shows the ineffective responses
of T cells to the stimulatory cytokines such as IFN-γ or TNF-α. On the other hand, the elevation of cytokines (particularly
IFN-γ) and sialic acids have presumably an inhibitory role on circulatory B cell population in infected cattle. In addition,
a high level of sialic acid concentration indicates the probable role of sialic acid to regulate the parasite-host cell adhesion
during sporozoites invasion. 相似文献

Slope is a complex environmental factor that can subject plants to a number of mechanical stresses. The anchorage of roots
and improvement of slope stability mainly depend on specific properties of root systems, such as root distribution. In the
present study, 24 trees (from three species) growing on gentle slopes (10–20°) were randomly chosen for root distribution
analysis. The profile trenching method was used to obtain root characteristics. The findings indicated that root area ratio
(RAR) decreased with depth and that maximum RAR values were observed in the upper layers; RAR values were between 0.0004%
and 6.6444%. Average RAR values were not statistically different in upslope and downslope layers except in one case. The dot
grid method (100 × 150 mm) usually overestimated the RAR values. The amount of roots decreased with depth following a power
law. About 50% and 90% of roots were located in the first 30 and 60 cm depths, respectively. Results of analysis of covariance
(ANCOVA) showed a significant effect of diameter at breast height (DBH) on total RAR but not on the total number of roots.
About 70% of roots had diameter of less than 10 mm. Spearman’s correlation showed significant negative correlation between
the total number of roots and the amount of N, P, and K elements, and a positive correlation between DBH and RAR. The results
serve to develop understanding of the biotechnical characteristics of root systems of Caspian species. 相似文献

Biomechanical characteristics of the root system of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) were assessed by measuring Root Area Ratio (RAR) values and tensile strength of root specimens of eight hornbeam trees growing on hilly terrain of Northern Iran. RAR values of the roots were obtained using profile trenching method at soil depth of the top 0.1 m. In total 123 root specimens were analyzed for tensile strength. Results indicate that in general, RAR decreases with depth, following a power function. The RAR values in up and down slopes have no significant statistical differences. In most cases, the maximum RAR values were located in soil depth of the top 0.1 m, with maximum rooting depth at about 0.75 m. The minimum and maximum RAR values along the profiles were 0.004% and 6.431% for down slope and 0.004% and 3.995% for up slope, respectively. The number of roots in the up and down slope trenches was not significantly different. In the same manner as for RAR, number of roots distributing with depth was satisfactorily approximated a power function. The penetration depths of above 90 percent of the roots were at soil depths of 50 cm and 60 cm for up and down slopes, respectively. Results of Spearman's bivariate correlation showed no significant correlation between the RAR value with tree diameter and gradient of slope and number of roots. The mean value of root tensile strength was 31.51 ± 1.05 MPa and root tensile strength decreased with the increase in root diameter, following a power law equation. Using ANCOVA, we found intraspecies variation of tensile strength. 相似文献

Plague has been known since ancient times as a re-emerging infectious disease, causing considerable socioeconomic burden in regional hotspots. To better understand the epidemiological cycle of the causative agent of the plague, its potential occurrence, and possible future dispersion, one must carefully consider the taxonomy, distribution, and ecological requirements of reservoir-species in relation either to natural or human-driven changes (e.g. climate change or urbanization). In recent years, the depth of knowledge on species taxonomy and species composition in different landscapes has undergone a dramatic expansion, driven by modern taxonomic methods such as synthetic surveys that take into consideration morphology, genetics, and the ecological setting of captured animals to establish their species identities. Here, we consider the recent taxonomic changes of the rodent species in known plague reservoirs and detail their distribution across the world, with a particular focus on those rodents considered to be keystone host species. A complete checklist of all known plague-infectable vertebrates living in plague foci is provided as a Supporting Information table. 相似文献

Seedling vigor is the basic component of the transplanted rice, which depends on its growing environment and proper age. Thus the influence of nursery management and seedling age was evaluated after transplanting 10, 20, 30, and 40-days older seedlings raised by using seed rate (high and low) and nitrogen (N) (with and without) in rice growing season 2008 and 2009. Study revealed that 10-days older nursery seedlings, irrespective to nursery-bed treatments, showed accelerated growth start after transplanting in main field while at later stages significant interaction was observed. Transplanting of 20-days older fertilized seedlings grown at low seeding density at nursery-bed resulted in similar growth performance as in younger. Maximum net-benefit (45111, 44402 Rs. ha?1) was recorded with transplanting 10-days older nursery seedlings while the fertilized seedlings grown at lower seeding density recorded highest net-benefit (37908, 36780 Rs. ha?1) in both the years. 相似文献
