植物种群的监测

阐明了植物的基本种群单位的特征，并对它们进行了遗传学和生态－－种群统计学分析。指出用于局部水平的种群监测的最适宜基本单位有两个，即种群和生境种群。提出了专家信息系统，该系统可用监测中的信息积累、评价植物种群状态和预测种群的发展前景。     

胸膜肺料放线杆菌溶血毒素特性鉴定及免疫原性研究

本文报道了胸膜肺炎防线杆菌（APP）血清型7型菌株深－8株分泌的溶血素。研究证明该株至少可分泌两种溶血素，一种为热稳定的溶血素，另一种为热不稳定的溶血素。本研究没有对热稳定的溶血素进行提纯分析，而对热不稳定的溶血素经过盐析及凝胶过滤层析提纯后，进行SDS－PAGE分析，表明该溶血素为分子量65kDa的蛋白。本研究利用纯化的65kDa的溶血素蛋白与APP所有型的阳性血清做交叉中和实验和琼脂扩散实验及动物实验，证明该溶血素蛋白具有一定的免疫原性及保护力，但其诱导的免疫反应对同源菌株的攻击只能提供部分保护。     

Equine laryngeal hemiplegia. Part V. Central nervous system pathology

Evidence of long central nerve fibre degeneration (axonal spheroids) in the lateral cuneate nuclei was found in all eight Thoroughbreds affected clinically and subclinically with equine laryngeal hemiplegia, but in only one of six control animals. It was considered that these spheroids may signify a central nervous component of the disease process of laryngeal hemiplegia although until further investigations are performed no firm conclusions regarding the relationship of these findings with laryngeal hemiplegia could be made. Examination of the left and right nucleus ambiguus of clinical and subclinical laryngeal hemiplegic horses revealed no pathological alterations.     

A review and some observations on stringhalt

A review of the literature on stringhalt in horses is presented, including the aetiology, clinical signs, pathology and treatment of this disease. Three New Zealand outbreaks of stringhalt are reported and discussed. The occurrence of these (and most previously reported outbreaks) in the late summer and autumn, and the association of the disease with various weeds, indicates a likely toxic aetiology.
