Activity Patterns Shown by Mountain Zebra Equus Zebra Hartmannae in South West Africa With Reference to Climatic Factors

Free-living mountain zebra at the Daan Viljoen Game Reserve, Khomas Hochland, were studied over a two-year period. Attention was given to nutritional, social, comfort and excretory activities and the various activity patterns were determined. Different macro-climatic factors that mav influence this behaviour were considered. Although daily activity patterns were variable, a basic pattern was perceivable. Temperature and rainfall were the two climatic factors which had the most marked influence on daily activity. Disturbance caused by insects also followed the seasonal variations of climate regarding temperature and rainfall. The mountain zebra has adapted itself to the climate in its habitat by evolving certain behavioural characteristics.

Safety of temperature sensitive mutant Mycoplasma gallisepticum vaccine

A temperature sensitive (ts) vaccine strain designated ts-11 was selected after exposure of a low passage culture of the immunogenic Australian field isolate (strain 80083) of Mycoplasma gallisepticum to 100 mg/ml of N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Viable counts (assayed as colour changing units (CCU)/25 microliters) of a thawed stock culture of ts-11 were typically log10 3 to log10 5 higher when incubated at 33 degrees C (the permissive temperature) than duplicate viable counts incubated at 39.5 degrees C (the restrictive temperature). Doses of approximately 2 x 10(7) CCU of ts-11 caused no gross lesions or loss of egg production when inoculated into the air sacs of susceptible chickens and no clinical or pathological signs of sinusitis when inoculated into the infraorbital sinuses of susceptible turkey poults, whereas the parent strain 80083 was demonstrably pathogenic. However, 1 of 10 poults inoculated intra-abdominally with approximately 2 x 10(7) CCU of ts-11 did show signs of mild airsacculitis. Eight-week-old pullets were vaccinated by eye drop with up to 1.4 x 10(7) CCU of ts-11 and simultaneously subjected to several stressful management practices, without apparent ill effects. Administration by coarse aerosol of 5 ml of ts-11 vaccine/25 day-old broilers, with or without 25 doses of infectious bronchitis virus vaccine caused no obvious signs of respiratory disease. The non virulent ts phenotype was maintained after 3 passages of strain ts-11 in chickens. Chickens vaccinated 3 weeks previously with ts-11 or with strain 80083 were placed in contact with susceptible chickens for a period of 2 weeks.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

白背毛木耳菌株栽培对比试验

对12个白背毛木耳菌株的农艺性状进行栽培对比。结果表明:经初步筛选,‘06283’、‘43012’和‘AP201’等3个优良菌株可以在生产上推广;菌株‘AP201’产量最高为74.64g/袋,与对照相比增产15.7%,干物质含量也高,但其菌种活力较弱,不耐高温,生长速度慢,而且该菌株耳片腹面棱脊多,呈网状,不符合目前的出口外销要求,不建议生产上大规模应用;菌株‘06283’和‘43012’的产量均较高,分别为69.90、64.69g/袋,与对照相比分别增产8.4%、0.3%,且耳片大而厚,抗污染能力强,‘43102’的产量虽然比‘06283’及‘AP201’稍低,但其干物质含量比值最大,这2个菌株的产品适合于出口,市场价格较好,符合生产品种要求。     

两栖蔊菜种群及其入侵群落特征

两栖蔊菜(Rorippa amphibia)是近年来备受关注的入侵植物,主要出现在草坪中,并有不断向各种生境扩张的趋势,往往会成为其入侵群落中的优势种,因此研究其种群和群落特征及环境影响因素,对于更好地了解其入侵机制具有重要理论意义。本研究调查了不同小生境中受到两栖蔊菜入侵的草坪群落,采用扩散系数(C)、负二项参数(K)、平均拥挤度(m*)、丛生指标(I)、聚块性指标(PI)、Cassie指标(CA)和Green指数(GI) 7个指标对两栖蔊菜的空间分布格局进行研究,并分析两栖蔊菜的种群密度、盖度等特征。运用聚类分析、主成分分析(PCA)探讨了群落类型的差异及主要环境影响因子。结果表明,在不同生境条件下两栖蔊菜种群均呈聚集分布。无遮阴和半遮阴条件下,两栖蔊菜的种群密度分别为全遮阴条件的2.93倍和2.73倍,盖度分别为4.52倍和4.79倍,高度分别为1.57倍和2.37倍。即在全遮阴条件下两栖蔊菜种群的密度、高度、盖度均最低,且与无遮阴生境种群间差异显著(P <0.05);半遮阴条件下,两栖蔊菜的高度和盖度最高,与全遮阴生境下差异显著(P <0.05),与无遮阴生境种群高...     

4株Ⅰ亚群禽腺病毒分离株对SPF雏鸡的致病性研究

【目的】 探究Ⅰ亚群禽腺病毒（Fowl adenovirus,FAdV）分离株GDDL-4（FAdV-4）、GDB3-8a （FAdV-8a）、GDT08-8b （FAdV-8b）、GDWYT-11（FAdV-11）对SPF雏鸡的致病性,进而制定更加有效的防控措施。【方法】 设立4个攻毒组（GDDL-4、GDB3-8a、GDT08-8b、GDWYT-11）及对照组,攻毒组选择腿部肌内注射接种0.2 mL 10⁵ TCID₅₀病毒液,对照组接种等体积PBS。接种后观察SPF雏鸡的临床症状、剖检病变及组织病理学变化,同时检测其排毒量和病毒载量。【结果】 所有攻毒组鸡均表现为精神沉郁、消瘦、扎堆等,病理剖检以严重心包积液-包涵体肝炎综合征病变为主,其中GDDL-4组症状最为严重,死亡率最高达85%,总体死亡率在0~85%之间。排毒分析结果发现,GDDL-4和GDB3-8a组出现高滴度排毒（≥10⁴拷贝/μL）,GDT08-8b和GDWYT-11组仅能检测到低滴度（≤10³拷贝/μL）排毒。器官指数表明,除GDT08-8b组与对照组无明显差异外,其余攻毒组均能造成器官不同程度的肿大或萎缩。病理组织学切片显示,肝脏、肾脏、法氏囊的正常结构被破坏,可见肝细胞有大量淋巴细胞浸润、肾间质充血出血、法氏囊淋巴细胞坏死等。病毒载量分析结果显示,GDDL-4与GDWYT-11组在肝脏组织中病毒滴度最高,而GDB3-8a与GDT08-8b组在十二指肠中病毒滴度最高。【结论】 Ⅰ亚群FAdV的死亡率高,4株分离株均可导致雏鸡肝脏出现包涵体肝炎的病理变化,均可反复排毒,且分离株对不同的组织器官有不同的亲嗜性,在肝脏与十二指肠等组织中的病毒载量最高。
