Pseudorabies virus infection in hunting dogs in Oita,Japan: Report from a prefecture free from Aujeszky’s disease in domestic pigs

We isolated two pseudorabies virus (PRV) isolates (designated OT-1 and OT-2) from two hunting dogs exhibiting neurological manifestations after eating the flesh of wild boar hunted in Oita prefecture, Kyushu Island, Japan. The isolates corresponded to a previously reported PRV (MY-1 strain) isolated from a hunting dog in neighboring Miyazaki prefecture, and it clustered into genotype II based on the glycoprotein C sequence. Our results suggest that this common PRV strain may have been maintained in wild boars on Kyushu Island even though domestic pigs in this area have attained an Aujeszky’s disease-free status.     

Influence of the Expert Effect on Cultural Models

We examined hunters’ perceptions of fauna to see if expert hunters and other hunters perceive wildlife abundance similarly. We used cultural consensus analysis (CCA) to assess the knowledge of 25 hunters in the Bolivian Amazon about the abundance of 38 animals. CCA indicated highly shared beliefs among hunters concerning wildlife abundance (average agreement = .62). However, expert hunters (as judged by their reported successful hunts of rare species, having hunted recently, and consuming more game in their diet) perceived more animals as abundant than did non-experts, although they all shared the same model. Since the expert hunters did not always agree on which species was more abundant, they had low cultural knowledge scores in CCA results. These experts may be unwilling to curtail hunting efforts on key species that they perceive to be abundant.     

The Economic Significance of Hunting Tourism in East Lapland,Finland

Uses of game resources are under constant debate. One such debate focuses on hunting tourism and its contributions to rural economics. To prioritize future investment and inform policy decisions, it is necessary to identify the full economic consequences of the operation of hunting tourism companies in rural areas. However, the true economic significance of these typically small-scale companies is not apparent when examined on an industrial scale. These companies may nevertheless serve as a sustainable solution to local-scale rural challenges. In this article, the regional economic significance of hunting tourism is estimated for the East Lapland sub-region of northern Finland through the use of Computable General Equilibrium simulation models. Although these models are known to effectively evaluate short- and long-term regional economic effects of industries such as tourism, they have not previously been applied to evaluate hunting tourism.

我国农业灌溉水费管理的初步研究

指出我国灌区普遍存在工程老化、效益递减、灌区管理单位经费短缺、发展困难等现象。灌区的主要经费来源是灌溉水费，而水费计收标准低、收缴困难、中间环节多、难以到位。灌溉水费管理中存在的这些问题，使得灌区工程的维修、改造与更新不能得到保证。分要认为：灌溉水费管理改革，应围绕提高水费收缴率和使用效率、保证专款专用而展开，不仅要采用科学的、符合商品经济规律的水费计收标准，而且在水费收交的过程中应减少中间环节，杜绝截留、挪用。此外，实施国家对农业水费的补贴政策，加大政府对农田水利基本建设的投入力度，建立与完善灌溉水费管理的法规规章与制度，也是加强水费管理的必要措施。     

龟纹瓢虫对麦蚜的捕食功能反应及寻找效应研究

试验结果表明,龟纹瓢虫(Propylaea japonica)成虫对麦蚜的捕食效应符合HollingⅡ型模型,为Na=0.7059N/(1 0.013 3N),成虫对麦蚜的寻找效应是随着猎物密度的增加而降低.根据HollingⅢ型功能反应新模型得:Na=75.19exp(-47.53/Nt),在1 d内,1头龟纹瓢虫对麦蚜达到最大捕食量为75.19头,最佳寻找密度为47.53头,在利用龟纹瓢虫成虫防治麦蚜时,益害比可以以1∶50作为参考值.

Discussion on Private Forestry Development in China

1 HISTORICAL PROCESS ANDPRESENT SITUATION ON PRIVATEFORESTRY IN CHINABefore 1978, all the private sectors were bannedto own forest tenure in China. At that time, forestwas managed by state-run forest farms, state-runforestry industry bureaus or collectives. When thereform and opening-up policy was initiated inChina, with the implementation of HouseholdResponsibility System (HRS) in rural areas, privatesectors began to participate in forestry. In March1981, the State…
