Natural pox infection occurred in a free-living rough-legged hawk (Buteo lagopus) in northeastern North Dakota. Gross, histological and electron microscopic findings were typical of pox infection, and characteristic lesions developed in red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) but not in great horned owls (Bubo virginianus) following inoculation with case material. Death of the rough-legged hawk wa...

Rahman, l.r.c p. and lf.p s. (Glas.), Civil Surgeon, Burma. This Manual 1ms been compiled by Dr. Rahman to explain the methods of vaccination and its superiority to the dangerous practice of inoculation against small-pox. We entirely agree with him that a systematic training is necessary in the method of vaccination. The first chapter deala with the mortality from small-pox, its infectivity, it...

Sheep and goat pox, peste des petits ruminants and Rift Valley fever are important diseases of small ruminant livestock. Sheep and goat pox, along with peste des petits ruminants, are endemic throughout most of Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Whereas Rift Valley fever is endemic in Africa, outbreaks in the Middle East have been reported over the past decade, including the Arabian Peninsula. S...

We present a deep Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) search for HI 21 cm emission from three dwarf galaxies, viz. POX 186, SC 24 and KKR 25. Based, in part, on previous single dish HI observations, these galaxies have been classified as a BCD, a dwarf irregular and a transition galaxy respectively. However, in conflict with previous single dish detections, we do not detect HI in SC 24 or KK...

character of the lymph or the possibility of its contamination during the time the different inoculations were made. The precautions adopted were the following :? (1) The employment of new lancets or scalpels for each operation and the employment of new compressors when used. (2) The keeping of the calves in a large shed within the grounds of the small-pox hospital. (3) The bringing of the firs...

This article reconstructs the diagnostic act of the French pox in the French-disease hospital of sixteenth-century Augsburg. It focuses on how the participants in the clinical encounter imagined the configuration of the pox and its localization in the human body. Of central importance for answering this question is the early modern conception of physical signs. It has been argued that it was du...

PRODH, encoding proline oxidase (POX), has been associated with schizophrenia through linkage, association, and the 22q11 deletion syndrome (Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome). Here, we show in a family-based sample that functional polymorphisms in PRODH are associated with schizophrenia, with protective and risk alleles having opposite effects on POX activity. Using a multimodal imaging genetics app...

Effects of cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) obtained from Bacillus subtilis ABS-S14 on eliciting defense-related gene transcription and activity of defense-related enzymes; glucanase (GLU), chitinase (CHI), peroxidase (POX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) in Citrus sinensis cv. Valencia fruit were determined. The maximum level of GLU transcripts induced in fruit treated with fengycin was significantly greates...

These memoranda must prove of great value and convenience to general practitioners. They supply all the necessary indications for the differential diagnosis of small-pox, chicken-pox, measles, German measles, scarlatina, diphtheria, idiopathic erysipelas, typhus, typhoid, and mumps. The normal periods of latency, premonitory fever, duration of fever, and length of infectiveness of these disorde...

Vaccination started on the East Indian Kailway in 1884 as a systematic work the records of which are not available before 1893, the 19 years recorded here show a progressive protection of the railway staff with a very small incidence of small-pox cases. Those numbers would hardly appeal to an English audience, where universal vaccination, until the conscientious objector stepped in, had made sm...
