With the licensure of the human papil-lomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the United States and many other countries, an understanding of the natural history of HPV infection is imperative for establishment of appropriate policies and guidelines for its use. Although our knowledge of the natural history of HPV infection in women has increased dramatically over the past decade, the natural history of HPV...

We used the partially sequenced genomes of the turkey and chicken to find a large number of microsatellite markers. We then characterized 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers developed by cross-species amplification from economically and ecologically important birds to various European sub-species of the grey partridge. Even though we used cross-species amplification, a high degree of polymorp...

introduction: in chick embryo, endodermal component of the liver becomes split into 2 diverticula in a short time. the anterior diverticulum lies to the left of the ductus venosus and the posterior one to its right side. as the liver primordium grows, it is invaded by the embryonic veins. based on the different incubation time periods and evolutionary origin of avian species, various times for ...

Partridge bands have been developed and marketed on the assumption that their ribbed under-surface would ensure less interference with periosteal and cortical blood flow than other cerclage systems. Three cases are reported of serious clinical complications from loss of cortical bone under the band, and interference with the external bridging callus response.

OMPLEMENTATION between allelic mutants at the ad-4 (adenine-4) locus, deficient for the enzyme adenylosuccinase (adenylosuccinate AMP-lyase, C.E. 4322). was first reported in Neurospora (GILES, PARTRIDGE and NELSON 1957; WOODWARD, PARTRIDGE and GILES 1958). It was found that certain pairs of these mutants, which as a result of the absence of adenylosuccinase activity require adenine for growth,...

Infectious agents cause disease in virtually any susceptible hosts. In the poultry production and medicine, pathogens were eliminated from a line of a breeder by injection of antibiotics into hatching eggs. There is little information available describing the safety of the folate antimetabolite/sulfonamide class of antibiotics on the game birds embryonated eggs. The objective of this study was ...

Whereas in most of Europe the decline of the grey partridge Perdix perdix is due primarily to agricultural intensification, the Pyrenean grey partridge P. p. hispaniensis is believed to suffer from the opposite effect, namely the abandonment of agricultural practices which allows the encroachment of dense shrublands. We investigated habitat use by the Pyrenean grey partridge during the breeding...
