EARLY IVF IN LABORATORY ANIMALS Rabbit
نویسنده
چکیده
Much progress of relevance to the union of mammalian gametes in laboratory conditions has been reported during the last half century. Early in this interval, it was realized that spermatozoa must undergo the process of capacitation and that conditions for gamete union must, at least crudely, resemble those found at the normal site of fertilization, i.e., within the oviduct. Today it is possible to initiate early embryonic development of just about any mammalian species by co-incubating homologous ova with treated spermatozoa. This review will trace the development of in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology through experimentation with several laboratory and domestic animals. Information regarding nonhuman primates appears in Chapter 16. A few of hundreds of possible examples from available literature reports will be mentioned to illustrate advances in this important area of biological science. Utilization of IVF for enhancing reproductive efficiency, especially for cattle, and in preservation of genetically valuable and endangered animal species promises to impact significantly on animal breeding strategies.

A Survey on the Gastrointestinal Parasites of Rabbit and Guinea Pig in a Laboratory Animal House
There is documented evidence that infection in laboratory animals can often influence the outcome of experiments. All infections, apparent or inapparent, are likely to increase biological variability. As a research project concerning the diversity and distribution of parasites of rabbit and guinea pig in a conventional laboratory animal house, about 87 rabbits (from 700 ) and 105 guinea pigs (f...

BACKGROUND: Giardia has the ability to infect many mammals including dogs, cats, deer, mice, ground squirrels, chinchillas, swine, rabbits, pocket mice, oxen, guinea pigs, and humans. Giardia lamblia (also Giardia duodenalis, G.intestinalis) isolates have been variably divided into two or three genotypes by different investigators, and each group can be divided into subgroups. OBJECTIVES: We ha...

In this article the history of IVF in geographical regions outside the UK are traced by pioneers of that time. Following the birth of Louise Brown in 1978, live births after IVF occurred in Australia in 1980, in the USA in 1981 and in Sweden and France in 1982. Following the first IVF birth in Australia, the Government of Victoria established a review of IVF research and practice which led to t...

For determination of the cause of hair loss, after the observation and palpation the alopecic area, there have not been any swelling, abscesses, tumors. In skin...

The severity ranges from mild to severe in this case. In breeding colony of albino Dutch laboratory rabbits, the splay leg disorder has been observed over the years permanently.Within the scope of this research, 1.5-2.5% of 700-750 number of c...
