  4. 2. Characterisation of social behaviour in red junglefowl and White leghorn laying hens : phenotypic and genetic studies

    Author : Johanna Väisänen; Harry Blokhuis; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Red junglefowl; social behaviour; behaviour tests; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis was, by using two model strains of chicken, red junglefowl and White Leghorn layer, to study differences in social behaviour of the species that could be derived from domestication and production related selection processes. The social phenotype characterisation was done to be able to further study the association of the social differences to specific production related traits as well as to certain genome areas in intercross and backcross lines generated from these two parental populations.

  5. 3. Trypanotolerance and phenotypic characteristics of four Ethiopian cattle breeds

    Author : Jennie Stein; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Trypanosomosis is the single most important livestock disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Infected animals suffer from weight loss, anemia and miscarriages. Trypanotolerant breeds, however, can survive, produce and reproduce even under disease pressure. In Ethiopia some breeds live in infected areas and could possess trypanotolerance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects

    Author : Mats Nyman; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; phenotypic characteristics.; penicillin tolerance; antibiotic susceptibility; antibody reaction; exanthema; Arcanobacterium haemolyticum; pharyngitis; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : In an 18-month period all throat cultures in our laboratory were examined for Arcanobacterium haemolyticum and clinical information was obtained. The great majority of the patients suffered from pharyngitis or tonsillitis, accompanied by a rash in 46% of cases. One third of the patients had a history of recurrent tonsillitis. READ MORE
