enteritis due to campylobacter is the most common cause of acute bacterial diarrhea worldwide. in most cases, infection occurs as a result of consuming contaminated water or food, especially raw meat of fowls. campylobacters are saccharolytic and fastidious bacteria. these traits limit the number of available biochemical tests by which isolates may be differentiated. these limitations might, in...

The fate of benzpyrene after administration to animals was first investigated by Peacock (9, 20, 21). By making use of the characteristic fluorescence spectrum he was able to discover the main facts: that it is removed from the blood stream in unaltered form by the adipose tissue and all tissues and glands containing fat solvents, and especially that it is metabolized to new derivatives having ...

We investigated the role of 5-HT2C receptors and serotonergic transmission in the feeding behavior control of quails. Administration of serotonin releaser, fenfluramine (FEN) and 5-HT2C agonists, mCPP and MK212, 1.0 and 3.3 mg/Kg induced significant inhibition of food intake in previously fasted fowls (0.71 +/- 0.18 g and 0.47 +/- 0.2 g; 0.49 +/- 0.22 g and 0.48 +/- 0.29 g; 0.82 +/- 0.13 g and ...

AIM The red jungle fowl is generally considered as one of the endangered Asian wild Galleopheasants due to man-made encroachment of their habitats, coupled with the effect of disease and disease causing organisms like ticks and tick-borne infections. This study aimed to determine the tick fauna of the red jungle fowl and their predilection sites based on developmental stages. MATERIALS AND ME...

With the aim to establish the effect of the product Vemoherb-T (dry extract of Tribulus terrestris L) on egg yolk lipids and serum total cholesterol content, the trial was designed with 30 Pearl gray Guinea fowls, at the age of 32 weeks, randomly distributed in control and experimental groups, 12 female and 3 male each. All birds received the same mixture for breeder Guinea fowls. The tested pr...

Squamous-cell carcinomas, hemangiomas, fibro mas, and papillomas have occurred in the skin of ducks following the local application of a 0.25 per cent acetone solution of methylcholanthrene daily for a period of 1 month (5, 6). The spontaneous disappearance of a high per cent of these neo plasms in the duck has proved to be a feature of considerable interest (7). Attempts have been made infrequ...

RAMSEY, CAROLYN H. (U. S. Public Health Service, Atlanta, Ga.), AND P. R. EDWARDS. Resistance of salmonellae isolated in 1959 and 1960 to tetracyclines and chloramphenicol. Appl. Microbiol. 9:389-391. 1961.-The resistance of cultures of Salmonella typhimurium to tetracyclines and chloramphenicol has been examined periodically. Although none of 200 cultures isolated prior to 1948 was resistant t...
