Studies on Viral Diseases of Japanese Fishes-III

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Studies on the radiological contamination of fishes. III. Radiochemical studies of contaminated fish.

The distribution of radioactivity in fish bodies had been made clearly by our observations on•gShunkotsu Maru•h. It was also observed that the radioactivity in one organ of a fish was quite different from that of another.. However, the radioactive elements contained in fish bodies were left un-identified. The present work was undertaken to meet the urgent necessity of identification of the radi...

Studies on Avian Viral Infections in Iran

III defined neurological diseases of possible viral origin

Any approach towards elucidating the aetiology of an ill defined disease such as 'epidemic neuromyasthenia' has to be a comprehensive and wide-ranging one. Although viruses must be strong candidates, by reason of their ubiquity, this need not necessarily be the case and we have recently seen the onset of Legionnaires' disease as a new entity caused by a bacterium. We do not always recognize tha...
