Experimental infection of pups with Ancylostoma caninum-infected mouse tissues

Migration and distribution of Ancylostoma caninum larvae in the tissues of mice orally infected with 1000 larvae, and establishment of patent infection from the mice to the definitive host, were studied. Larval yield from different organs of mice, after digestion with artificial gastric juice, indicated that the highest recovery was at 4 h post-infection (62.8%), and thereafter a slight decline occurred up until 30 days post-infection (51.5%). Migration of larvae to the lungs occurred within 4 h, to the liver within 12 h and into the heart within 24 h. No larvae were recovered from spleen and kidney tissues. From the 9th day onwards larvae were also recovered from the brain. Migration in the muscles of head and neck occurred within 4 h, in the thoracic and abdominal muscles at 24 h and in lumbosacral and leg muscles at 48 h. The establishment of patent infections in the definitive host was studied by feeding the orally- and percutaneously-infected mice to hookworm-free pups at 10 and 30 days post-infection. The mean necropsy worm burden in the pups fed with the orally-infected mice was comparatively higher than in the pups fed cutaneously-infected mice.     

Fatal overdose after ingestion of a transdermal fentanyl patch in two non‐human primates

Case history and presentationTwo non-human primates (Macaca fascicularis), weight 3.5 kg, enrolled in an experimental protocol received a 25 μg hour^?1 transdermal fentanyl patch for postoperative analgesia. The following day both animals were clinically normal, but after a new induction of anaesthesia with ketamine, they developed severe and prolonged respiratory distress, profound coma and myosis.Management and follow-upAttempted reversal with naloxone was ineffective. After several hours of ventilation, both primates eventually died, 7 and 15 hours after ketamine injection, respectively. In both cases, the patch was discovered in the animal's cheek pouch. Subsequent fentanyl serum concentration measurements (8.29 and 14.80 μg L^?1) confirmed fentanyl overdose.ConclusionsThis report of two fatal intoxications in non-human primates secondary to ingestion of a transdermal fentanyl patch demonstrates that this method of analgesia is inappropriate for non-human primates, because of their tendency to chew almost anything they can reach.     

Skin Injuries on the Body and Thigh of Dairy Cows: Associations with Season,Claw Health,Disease Treatment,and other Cow Characteristics

An epidemiological study was conducted in 18 dairy herds with the objective to characterize those groups of cows where skin injuries to the body and thighs occurred most frequently. Data were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression. The epidemiologic patterns were different in first and later lactations. In first lactation some degree of injury occurred among 7.7% of 1793 cows. For most cows occurrence of sole ulcer was positively associated with injury while occurrence of heel horn erosion was negatively associated with injury. The association between injury and body weight differed depending on month of calving (significant interaction). Injuries occurred most frequently among high yielding cows. Severe reproductive, metabolic, and/or infectious diseases were associated with injuries. In later lactations some degree of injury occurred among 13.4% of 832 cows in lactations 2 to 9 where severity of injury increased with lactation number. Injuries occurred least frequently at examinations made in the January to March. They occurred most frequently among cows with sole ulcers. Calving in March through October was associated with injuries especially if the cows were treated for limb disorders. Most cases of injuries occurred early or late in lactation or among high or very low yielding cows in lactations 2 to 9.     

人和动物阿米巴原虫病研究进展

阿米巴原虫病主要是由溶组织内阿米巴引起的一种人兽共患寄生虫病。自1875年Feder Losch首次在人体发现该病以来,已有9个不同种属的阿米巴被先后发现,已报道的易感动物达30多种。该类原虫多寄生于人和动物的肠道和肝脏,以滋养体形式侵袭机体,引发阿米巴痢疾或肝脓肿。文章综述了近年来人和动物阿米巴原虫病的病原学、流行病学、发病机理、诊断和防治等方面的研究进展。     

乳化剂在肉鸡饲料中的效果研究

乳化剂是一种亲油又亲水的物质,能显著降低脂肪的粘度,弥补动物胆盐分泌不足,从而提高脂肪消化率,防止脂肪肝发生和畜禽因脂肪消化不良引起的下痢,且利于脂溶性营养物质（VA、VD、VE、色素等）的吸收。因此,可通过乳化剂调低配方的代谢能水平,降低成本,提高经济效益。本试验研究了乳化剂对白羽肉鸡生产性能的影响。结果显示：减少油脂后添加乳化剂对肉鸡平均日采食量和平均日增重的影响均不显著,从试验全期看,日粮减少油脂5 kg/t 或降低代谢能30 kcal/kg （1 kcal=4.187 kJ,下同）后添加乳化剂,可以使肉鸡平均日增重和料重比保持正常的水平。     

Leptospira interrogans at the Human–Wildlife Interface in Northern Botswana: A Newly Identified Public Health Threat

Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonosis in the world. In northern Botswana, humans live in close proximity to a diversity of wildlife and peridomestic rodents and may be exposed to a variety of zoonotic pathogens. Little is known regarding the occurrence and epidemiology of L. interrogans in Africa despite the recognized global importance of this zoonotic disease and the threat it poses to public health. In Botswana, banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) live in close proximity to humans across protected and unprotected landscapes and may be a useful sentinel species for assessing the occurrence of zoonotic organisms, such as L. interrogans. We utilized PCR to screen banded mongoose kidneys for leptospiral DNA and identified 41.5% prevalence of renal carriage of L. interrogans (exact binomial 95% CI 27.7–56.7%, n = 41). Renal carriage was also detected in one Selous' mongoose (Paracynictis selousi). This is the first published confirmation of carriage of L. interrogans in either species. This is also the first report of L. interrogans occurrence in northern Botswana and the only report of this organism in a wildlife host in the country. Pathogenic Leptospira are usually transmitted indirectly to humans through soil or water contaminated with infected urine. Other avenues, such as direct contact between humans and wildlife, as well as consumption of mongooses and other wildlife as bushmeat, may pose additional exposure risk and must be considered in public health management of this newly identified zoonotic disease threat. There is a critical need to characterize host species involvement and pathogen transmission dynamics, including human–wildlife interactions that may increase human exposure potential and infection risk. We recommend that public health strategy be modified to include sensitization of medical practitioners to the presence of L. interrogans in the region, the potential for human infection, and implementation of clinical screening. This study illustrates the need for increased focus on neglected zoonotic diseases as they present an important threat to public health.     

青藏高原草地退化原因述评

导致青藏高原草地退化的因子很多,主要有气候、野生动物和人类活动等。在气候因素中以气温和降水的影响为主,短期内气候的变化不会成为草地退化的主导因素,从长期来看,气候变化与草地退化之间的相互作用可引起草地生态系统的退化;野生动物因素中主要以植食性小哺乳动物的影响为主,其危害程度取决于其种群数量的高低,同时大型野生草食动物对草地退化的影响也不容忽视;人类活动因素中主要以家畜过度放牧为主,在一定程度上,家畜放牧强度的高低直接决定草地的退化程度;草地退化是多种因素综合作用的结果。不同地区导致草地退化的主要因素不尽相同,导致青藏高原草地退化最主要的因子是过度放牧和植食性小哺乳动物种群爆发。针对退化的原因,提出了青藏高原退化草地恢复与管理过程中应注意的事项。     

人和哺乳动物支气管动脉与肺动脉吻合现象研究进展

对人和哺乳动物支气管动脉与肺动脉吻合问题的研究进行了概述.肺动脉与支气管动脉吻合的意义在于支气管动脉的高氧血液可以进入肺动脉代偿供应肺泡组织,肺动脉的营养血液也可以进入支气管动脉代偿供应肺间质.肺动脉与支气管动脉之间血管吻合常可以发生在胸膜面、支气管壁、终末细支气管或呼吸性细支气管等部位,也可以在毛细血管上发生支气管动脉与肺动脉的吻合.根据血管吻合的长度和口径,将其分为长吻合型和短吻合型,按照血管吻合的方式分为端-端吻合和端-侧吻合.在某些病理情况下,肺动脉与支气管动脉之间的吻合支还会通过管径扩张,增加血流量来供应局部的病变组织,因此有利于防御不利因素对机体造成的损伤,为机体实施正常的呼吸功能提供保障.     

草地生态系统氮循环关键过程对全球变化及人类活动的响应与机制

氮(N)是蛋白质、核酸、酶、激素、叶绿素等物质的主要组成部分,对生态系统结构的组成和功能的发挥具有十分重要的影响。国际地圈与生物圈计划(IGBP)以及政府间气候变化委员会(IPCC)的许多大型研究计划均把氮素循环过程作为其核心研究内容。草原生态系统作为地球上宝贵的自然资源,其功能的发挥对于维持全球及区域性生态平衡有极其重要的作用。但迄今为止,对草地氮循环关键过程及其对全球变化(CO₂浓度升高、温度与降水变化、氮沉降)以及人类活动(放牧、开垦、火烧等)响应与反馈的认知远不及对草地碳循环过程那么系统与深入,迫切需要开展相关领域系统的科学试验研究。本文综述了目前国内外全球变化和人类活动因子对草地氮循环过程影响的相关研究成果,分析了其主要影响途径以及关键机制,在此基础上对目前研究中存在的不足进行了剖析,并对未来研究中迫切需要关注的重点研究方向进行了探讨与展望。
