Chronic Wasting Disease Video from Wyoming Game and Fish Dept Show Full Record 2906
Source: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Resource Type(s): Audio Visual Materials Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Deer diseases Prion diseases Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy Abstract: The video provides an overview of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and explains what researchers know about CWD. It describes the appearance and behaviors that are typical of animals having CWD, and illustrates how to collect the appropriate tissue samples needed for diagnosis of CWD. The documented distribution of deer and elk with CWD was increasing as this video was being made, and this program shows the distribution status through June 30, 2002. Includes an introduction by Ken Hadd...

Marine Mammal Necropsy : An Introductory Guide for Stranding Responders and Field Biologists Show Full Record 5183
Source: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Resource Type(s): Manuals, Photographs Searchable Keywords: Marine mammals Necropsy Abstract: From abstract: This necropsy manual is designed to establish a base level of profiency in marine mammal necropsy techniques. It is written for stranding network members who do not have a formal pathobiological training and have limited knowledge of anatomy. Anatomical and pathological jargon has been kept to a minimum. This manual is divided into six sections: preliminary data, sample management, pinniped, small ceetacean, large whale (at sea and on the beach), and multiple appendices (A-H). A w...
Realtime RT-PCR Assay Unable to Detect H7 Subtype Avian Influenza Viruses Isolated from Wild Birds Show Full Record 3816
Source: Journal of Clinical Microbiology. 2008 Mar 5 [Epub ahead of print] Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Isolation & purification Methods Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction Sensitivity & specificity Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only) We report a failure of the current real-time RT-PCR H7 subtyping protocol, used in national avian influenza surveillance programs. Significant substitutions in primer and probe target sequences were identified, especially in wild bird viruses. The protocol, designed originally for detecting H7 influenza viruses in poultry, is not reliable for wild bird surveillance.
Sampling for low-pathogenic avian influenza A virus in wild Mallard ducks: Oropharyngeal versus cloacal swabbing Show Full Record 4450
Source: Vaccine. 2008. Epub 2008 Jun 27. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Ducks Low pathogenic avian influenza Mallards Sampling Abstract: From abstract: Since the emergence in SE Asia in 1997 of the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus many countries have started virus surveillance schemes. Although targeted primarily at detecting HPAI H5N1, these schemes have also been issued to achieve a greater understanding on the general circulation of low-pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI); in particular viruses of hemagglutinin (HA) subtypes H5 and H7, for their potential to mutate into HPAI viruses in poultry. The traditiona...

Use of Capillary Electrophoresis and Fluorescent Labeled Peptides to Detect the Abnormal Prion Protein in the Blood of Animals that are Infected with a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Show Full Record 297
Source: Journal of Chromatography. 1999 Aug; 853: 207-214 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Amino acid sequence Analysis Blood Chronic wasting disease Electrophoresis Fluorescence spectrometry Methods Sheep Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in humans and in animals are fatal neuro-degenerative diseases with long incubation times. The putative cause of these diseases is a normal host protein, the prion protein, that becomes altered. This abnormal prion protein is found mostly in the brains of infected individuals in later stages of the disease, but also can be found in lymphoid and other tissues in lower amounts. In order to eradicate this disease in ani... ![[PDF]](images/icons/pdf.gif "Adobe Reader File"){kind=icon} Wildlife Disease Investigation Manual, Second Edition Show Full Record 5880
