Maternal Antibody Transfer in Yellow-legged Gulls
spp.) that cohabitated the pond, but showed no external signs of disease, were positive for ranavirus by PCR using primers M153 and M154. Further sequence analyses are ongoing, and additional investigations of other amphibians and fishes are needed. Live freshwater fish from several countries have been imported into Japan. However, large amounts (<1,300 tons in 2007) of live aquaculture product...
متن کاملRandomised controlled trial of a baked egg intervention in young children allergic to raw egg but not baked egg
BACKGROUND Consumption of baked egg by raw egg allergic children is associated with immune changes suggesting development of tolerance. However, causation has not been tested using a double blind randomized controlled trial (RCT). We aimed to compare clinical and immunological outcomes after baked egg (BE) consumption in young BE tolerant egg allergic children. METHODS In a double blind RCT, ...
متن کاملMale song quality affects circulating but not yolk steroid concentrations in female canaries (Serinus canaria).
Male song complexity is a sexually selected trait found in many songbirds, including strains of the domestic canary. Studies on several species have shown that male song can affect the hormonal state of females and may also influence concentrations of maternal hormones in the yolk of their eggs. In this study, we show that the level of circulating androgens and oestrogens of female canaries, as...
متن کاملExperimental manipulation of steroid concentrations in circulation and in egg yolks of turtles.
Steroid hormones in egg yolks are increasingly recognized as an important component of maternal and offspring fitness in oviparous vertebrates. Yet, except for in birds, the mechanism by which females allocate these resources is poorly understood. We manipulated systemic levels of hormones in reproductively mature female red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) with silastic implant...
