Abstract The black abalone, Haliotis cracherodii, is a large, long‐lived marine mollusc that inhabits rocky intertidal habitats along the coast of California and Mexico. In 1985, populations were impacted by a bacterial disease known as withering syndrome (WS) that wiped out >90% of individuals, leading to the closure of all U.S.

The Effects of X-rays and Beta Rays (Tritium) on the Growth of \u3cem\u3eRickettsia mooseri\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eRickettsia akari\u3c/em\u3e in Embryonate Eggs [PDF]
The growth of Rickettsia mooseri was accelerated and quantitatively increased in embryonate eggs containing tritium oxide at levels of 180, 90, and 45 mc./egg during the growth period.

Can we continue research in splenectomized dogs? Mycoplasma haemocanis: Old problem - New insight [PDF]
We report the appearance of a Mycoplasma haemocanis infection in laboratory dogs, which has been reported previously, yet, never before in Europe. Outbreak of the disease was triggered by a splenectomy intended to prepare the dogs for a hemorrhagic shock

Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]
This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time $L$ are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences.

Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology
A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...
