Clinical and pathologic changes in a guinea pig aerosol challenge model of acute Q fever.
Acute Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii and can manifest as a flu-like illness, pneumonia, or hepatitis. A need exists in Q fever research for animal models mimicking both the typical route of infection (inhalation) and the clinical illness seen in human cases of Q fever. A guinea pig aerosol challenge model was developed using C. bur...
متن کاملSafety test for Q fever vaccine.
Viable Coxiella burnetii are usually demonstrated in the laboratory by infecting either guinea pigs or embryonated eggs. Guinea pig infection is manifested by a febrile illness and the development of specific complement-fixing antibodies after intraperitoneal injection of the fluid under examination (Smadel et al., 1948). When embryonated eggs are used, the material is injected into the yolk sa...
متن کاملRibonucleic acid and protein synthesis in guinea pig liver during Q fever.
Protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) syntheses increase in the liver during Q fever, coincident with progressive increments in cortisol levels. Cell-free protein-synthesizing systems indicate that the pH 5 enzyme fraction was chiefly responsible for enhanced activity. Although the polysome profiles from normal and infected livers were similar, the number of liver ribosomes doubled during infectio...
متن کاملKaryotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملResults of Acellular Dermis Matrix Graft Used for Tympanoplasty in Guinea Pig Model
Introduction: To describe the underlay tympanoplasty technique using an acellular dermal graft(AlloDerm) for tympanic membrane (TM) reconstruction in a guinea pig model and to demonstrate the feasibility of the technique using AlloDerm tissue harvested from the prepuce as a source of tissue for future grafting in human TM reconstruction. Materials and Methods: The prepuce was divided during c...
