The highly virulent rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) has been widely used in Australia and New Zealand since the mid-1990s to control wild rabbits, an invasive vertebrate pest in these countries. In January 2014, an exotic RHDV was detected in Australia, and 8 additional outbreaks were reported in both domestic and wild rabbits in the 15 months following its detection. Full-length genomi...

purpose : to determine the maximum non-toxic dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (epo) in rabbit eyes methods : eight rabbits (sixteen eyes) were scheduled for evaluating side effects of four intravitreal doses of 1000, 2000, 4000 and 5000 iu of epo, two rabbits for each dose. for each dose (two rabbits), the drug was injected for the right eyes. balanced salt solution (bss) was injected i...

tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. bone marrow and recently adipose tissue have been used as the sources of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. stromal vascular fraction (svf), derived from adipose tissue by an enzymatic digestion, represents an alternative source of multipotent cells, which undergo differ...

The teratogenic effect of rubella virus in humans has now been well documented (Ingalls, Plotkin, Meyer & Parkman, 1967) and virus isolation studies have suggested that rubella virus causes embryopathy by actually infecting the cells of the developing foetus (Alford, Neva & Weller, 1964). However, a laboratory animal model is required for controlled studies of the teratogenic activity of rubell...

Rabbits are animals prone to diseases, mainly affected by digestive system conditions. According the author's experience, interviews with rabbit breeders and veterinarians were located in Tangerang, if disorders do not receive proper treatment will quickly result death for rabbit. Rabbit owners sometimes don't know what do. Obstacles often encountered limited time, costs, number of who still sm...

Rabbits, like other animal species, are susceptible to infection with invasive and infectious diseases. Both ecto- endoparasites registered in them, including helminths, insects on the body, acarus scabies, protozoa. Rabbits characterized by a high degree of precocity, fecundity breadth use products obtained from them. As product rabbit breeding, first, meat is demand as dietary product. Part r...

Spanish explorers and colonists inadvertently started a massive experiment in evolutionary genetics when they accidentally introduced Avena barbata to California from Spain during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Assays of the Spanish and Californian gene pools of this species for 15 loci show that the present day Spanish gene pool, particularly that of Southwestern Spain, is identical...

Seven strains of Shope fibroma virus were compared for their effect on rabbit cells in vitro. All but one of the naturally occurring strains examined in this study produced a similar response in the infected cultures. This consisted of continued cell multiplication together with changes in cell morphology and growth pattern. In contrast, a recently isolated strain of fibroma virus, the M1 strai...

In Australia, the rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) has been used since 1996 to reduce numbers of introduced European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) which have a devastating impact on the native Australian environment. RHDV causes regular, short disease outbreaks, but little is known about how the virus persists and survives between epidemics. We examined the initial spread of RHDV to s...

A cDNA clone encoding the full coding region of polymorphic arylamine N-acetyltransferase was isolated from rabbit liver and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The expressed enzyme acetylated 2-aminofluorene, procainamide, sulfamethazine, and p-aminobenzoic acid at equivalent rates. N-Acetyltransferase activity was measured in 17 rabbits from an inbred colony which were classified into r...
