Microsatellite loci in Japanese quail and cross-species amplification in chicken and guinea fowl

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2002
In line with the Gifu University's initiative to map the Japanese quail genome, a total of 100 Japanese quail microsatellite markers isolated in our laboratory were evaluated in a population of 20 unrelated quails randomly sampled from a colony of wild ...

EXPERIMENTALLY-INDUCED AGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA IN JAPANESE QUAILS

Japanese Journal of Medical Science and Biology, 1978
Induction of agammaglobulinemia in Japanese quails was attempted by various procedures of bursectomy (BX) including hormonal BX (H-BX) with testosterone, surgical BX (S-BX), chemical BX (C-BX) with cyclophosphamide and irradiation with gamma-ray. Immunosuppressive effect of BX was evaluated by antibody production in response to immunization with bovine

Transition of hemoglobin between two tertiary conformations: The transition constant differs significantly for the major and minor hemoglobins of the Japanese quail (Cortunix cortunix japonica) [PDF]

, 2007
We demonstrate that 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) – DTNB – reacts with only CysF9[93]β and CysB5[23]β among the multiple sulfhydryl groups of the major and minor hemoglobins of the Japanese quail (Cortunix cortunix japonica).

Water bathing alters the speed-accuracy trade-off of escape flights in European starlings [PDF]

, 2009
Birds of most species regularly bathe in water, but the function of this behaviour is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that water bathing is important in feather maintenance, and hence should enhance flight performance. We manipulated European starlings'

ELISA indireto para detecção de IgG antivírus da doença de Newcastle em soro de codorna Indirect ELISA for the detection of IgG specific to Newcastle disease virus in quail serum

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2007
An indirect ELISA for the detection of japanese quail IgG specific to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was developed. The secondary anti-quail IgG was produced in Balb/c mice, by inoculating Freund's complete adjuvant emulsified japanese quail-IgG extract ...

Does the use of different oil sources in quail diets impact their productive and reproductive performance, egg quality, and blood constituents?

Poultry Science, 2020
The present study investigated the impact of dietary oil sources (soybean, corn, peanut, flaxseed, olive, and sunflower oils as sources of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids) on productive and reproductive traits, egg quality, hematological and biochemical ...

Silent Spring - the lost call [PDF]

, 2008
The "silence" in Rachel Carson's Silent Spring1 alludes to the demise of bird populations through reproductive problems and death resulting from exposure to the pesticides of that time, many of which are endocrine active.

A PCR-RFLP Method for Distinguishing Closely Related Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix) and Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica): Forensics and Conservation Implications

Birds
The genus Coturnix, comprising migratory Old World quails, includes Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix) and Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica), which are nearly indistinguishable morphologically.

Stress induced polarization of immune-neuroendocrine phenotypes in Gallus gallus [PDF]

, 2017
Immune-neuroendocrine phenotypes (INPs) stand for population subgroups differing in immune-neuroendocrine interactions. While mammalian INPs have been characterized thoroughly in rats and humans, avian INPs were only recently described in Coturnix ...

The effect of static incubation on the yolk sac vasculature of the Japanese quail (Coturnix c. japonica) [PDF]

, 2006
Static incubation affects early embryonic development with, notably, a reduction area vasculosa expansion and diminished sub-embryonic fluid (SEF) volume, effects produced during a ‘critical’ period (3-7 days in the chick) (Baggott et al., 2002).
