Alcaligenes rhinotracheitis of the turkey poult : bacterial adherence and virulence
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The binding of Alcaligenes fecalis to host respiratory epithelial cells and the host cell response to bacterial respiratory infection were examined in turkey poults using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, light ... -
Application of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the diagnosis of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis and Bovine Viral Diarrhea
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Enzyme-linked immunosrobent assays (ELISA) were investigated for the quantitation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) to Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) and Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) viruses, and ... -
Aquatic Animal Medicine Building, number 1
The history of aquatic animal medicine at Texas A&M was first formally initiated with the beginning of the Sea Grant Program on the campus in 1968. At that time, the call went out for individuals interested in conducting ... -

Biological characteristics of avian Chlamydia psittaci
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Seventeen isolates of Chlamydia psittaci from several avian species were examined to determine: (1) their growth characteristics in L-929 cells; (2) the effect of host cell treatment with various chemical agents on their ... -
Caseous lymphadenitis in small ruminants : clinical, pathological, and immunological responses to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and to fractions and toxins from the microorganism
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the etiologic agent of caseous lymphadenitis, a chronic, debilitating disease of small ruminants characterized by suppurative infection of either or both lymph nodes and visceral organs. ... -
The effect of Brucella abortus antigen and immune complexes on bovine lymphocytes : inhibition ³H-thymidine incorporation
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Holstein-Fresian heifers were artificially infected with Brucella abortus biotype 1. Lymphocytes from these animals did not incorporate ('3)H-thymidine at significantly greater levels than control animals when exposed to ... -
Effect of zinc deficiency on humoral and cell-mediated immunity
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The effects of dietary zinc deficiency on humoral and cellular immunity, as well as the functional significance of zinc deficiency on host responses to infection with a facultative intracellular pathogen, were studied in ... -
Evaluation of the antiviral, adjuvant and immunomodulatory effects of a [beta]-(1,4)-linked polymannose (Acemannan)
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)This study examined the antiviral, adjuvant and immunomodulatory effects of acemannan (ACE-M), a long-chain polydispersed β-(1,4)-linked mannose polymer. Antiviral effects were determined in vitro. Newcastle disease virus ... -
Identification and characterization of gram negative glucose nonfermenting bacilli from clinical veterinary specimens
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Gram negative, glucose nonfermenting bacilli (NFB) have recently been shown to be significant opportunistic pathogens of man. Very little is known about the occurrence of these bacteria in clinical veterinary specimens. ... -
Immunological investigations with bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)Cattle with histologically confirmed ocular squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) were injected with autochthonous tumor breis in Freund's complete adjuvant. Results from assays used to measure cell-mediated immune responses ... -
The in vitro cultivation of Babesia bigemina utilizing bovine cells in culture
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Babesia bigemina in vitro cultivation experiments utilizing primary and continuous monolayer cultures were conducted. Experiments to infect normal non-infected cells by in vitro inoculation using fresh or stabilate B ... -
Isolation and partial characterization of lymphocyte surface immunoglobulins from the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque)
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Lactoperoxidase catalysed radioiodination, detergent lysis and specific immunoprecipitation were used to recover the surface immunoglobulins (SIg) from channel catfish lymphocyte sub-populations. The molecular weight and ... -
Lysogeny and virulence in Bacillus anthracis cultures
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)The purpose of this study was to determine if the virulence of two Bacillus anthracis cultures was directly associated with lysogeny. Two known virulent lysogenic cultures, designated AM1 and AM2, were selected for this ... -

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Pasteurella haemolytica pneumonia is recognized as an economically important constituent of the group of bovine respiratory disease problems collectively referred to as the bovine respiratory disease complex, and as an ... -
Pathogenesis of channel catfish virus disease and characterization of the virus
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Three groups of fertilized channel catfish eggs were successfully hatched under controlled laboratory conditions and in a milieu free from pathogenic microorganisms. The effects of plaque purified CCV on fertilized channel ... -
