Clinical and acquired immunologic responses to West Nile virus infection of domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus).
Numerous bird species are highly susceptible to North American strains of West Nile virus (WNV), and although domestic chickens are relatively resistant to WNV-associated disease, this species currently represents the most practical avian model for immune responses to WNV infection. Knowledge of the immunomodulation of susceptibility to WNV in birds is important for understanding taxonomic diff...
متن کاملNumerical Abstraction in Young Domestic Chicks (Gallus gallus)
In a variety of circumstances animals can represent numerical values per se, although it is unclear how salient numbers are relative to non-numerical properties. The question is then: are numbers intrinsically distinguished or are they processed as a last resort only when no other properties differentiate stimuli? The last resort hypothesis is supported by findings pertaining to animal studies ...
متن کاملUsing electroretinograms to assess flicker fusion frequency in domestic hens Gallus gallus domesticus
The assessment of flicker fusion frequency (FFF), the stimulus frequency at which a flickering light stimulus can no longer be resolved and appears continuous, and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF; the highest frequency at any light intensity that an observer can resolve flicker) are useful methods for comparing temporal resolution capabilities between animals. Behavioural experiments hav...
متن کاملAppraisal of Lead in the Organs and Tissues of Domestic Chicken (gallus Gallus Domesticus) in Ibadan
As a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization in developing countries of West Africa, heavy metal pollution is likely to reach disturbing levels. The problem is that preparations are not being made towards the protection of the environment. Nigeria is one of the petroleum exporting countries and use of automobiles by middle and high income groups is rather high. In fact, the growing r...
متن کاملThermoregulatory responses of chicks (Gallus domesticus) to low ambient temperatures at an early age.
The potential to induce improved thermotolerance in broiler chickens is of great importance. Thermal conditioning is one of the management tools used to improve thermotolerance, enabling broilers to cope with extreme environmental conditions. This study investigated the effects of exposing chicks to low ambient temperature (T(a)) on-chick body (T(b)), surface (T(s)) temperatures and total sensi...
