Groups of 30 turkeys were vaccinated by the drinking water route against fowl cholera with varying doses of the low virulence, CU strain, of Pasteurella mulocida. One group (heavy dose) received 1.2 ...x 107, another (medium dose) 1.5 x 105, and a third (light dose) 1.0 x 103 bacteria per ml. of drinking water. Two (6.7%) vaccine induced cholera deaths occurred in the heavy dose group. No deaths resulted in the other groups. Maximum serum antibody titers per group were; light dose 1:32, medium dose 1:128, and heavy dose 1:256. Three weeks after vaccination all turkeys were challenged with a large dose of virulent P. multocida (P-1059). Mortalities resulting from the challenge were 100% in the light group, 23% in the medium group, 4% in the heavy group, and 100% in the unvaccinated controls.
This article discusses three broad topics: (a) how beliefs about weight control influence smoking initiation and how preventive interventions might affect these beliefs, (b) whether weight gain ...affects smoking cessation and relapse, and (c) what primary gaps in our information still remain. Beliefs and behaviors relating to weight and their consequences were addressed within the contexts of smoking initiation, maintenance, cessation, and relapse. Special populations, application and evaluation of alternative interventions, and assessment of compliance were considered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
Porcine colostral immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgA, isolated from transmissible gastroenteritis virus-infected sows, were compared by direct immunoelectron microscopy. It was estimated, using antibodies ...with a less than a twofold difference in virus-neutralizing activity, that IgG was 500 times more efficient than was IgA for coating transmissible gastroenteritis virions. Guinea pig complement enhanced the antibody coating with IgG, but did not increase virus-neutralizing activity of IgG or IgA.
