Natural And Experimental Infections Of Thelazia Californiensis Price (1930, Nematoda: Thelaziidae) With Descriptions Of The Adult And Larval Parasites, Howard S. Burnett

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this work was to determine the extent and effects of infestation of the eye worm of mammals, Thelazia californiensis, and to elucidate through experimentation or observation the mode of transmission.

A survey of literature revealed that thelaziasie (infestation by Thelazia species) may cause serious pathological changes in the eye and its adnexa, sometimes resulting in blindness. It was found that reports of thelaziasis in the United States were (with two exceptions) of cases in California. It was further found that T. californiensis has been reported in a wider variety of host than has any of other …

The Natural Reproduction Of The Cutthroat Trout, Salmo Clarki Richardson, In Strawberry Reservoir, Utah, William S. Platts

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Strawberry Reservoir, Utah is an 8,000 acre lake at the elevation of 7,550 feet; it has a maximum depth of 52 feet and an average depth of 18 feet. The supply of cutthroat trout eggs used to replenish and distribute this trout throughout the state are taken from two spawning traps located on reservoir tributaries. Because it has not proven economical to raise cutthroat to a larger size than newly hatched fry, it is at this stage they are planted. Because of competition, predation, and lack of space the planting back of fry to maintain the fishery and spawning run …

B571: Contract Broiler Growing In Maine, Richard F. Saunders

Bulletins

The Maine broiler industry had its beginning in the late 1920s and early 1930s with the greatest development occurring after World War II. Live poultry buyers, who later became processors, were the originators of the industry and have played the leading role in its development. Processing and broiler production along with hatching egg production and hatchery operations are vertically integrated to a relatively high degree in Maine. Broiler production in Maine has continued to increase at a more rapid rate than broiler production in the entire United States. By 1957 broiler production in Maine had reached 50 million birds which …

Grain Sorghum For Growing-Finishing Swine, E. R. Peo, Jr., D. B. Hudman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Considerable research has been conducted on the feeding value of grain sorghums for swine. Baker and Reinmiller (1939) observed that for the production of gains, grain sorghums were equal to or better than corn but considerable more feed was required to produce a pound of gain with the sorghums. Loeffel (1957) summarized several Nebraska swine experiments and observed that grain sorghum and corn produced approximately the same average daily gain, but, in general, 10 to 20~o more feed was required per pound of gain with the grain sorghum. Similar results have been reported by Aubel (1950, 1954, 1955, 1956) and …

Control Of Hog Lice And Mange, Robert Roselle

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The hog louse (Haematopinus suis) is the largest species of louse found on domestic animals. It may attain a length of one-quarter of an inch. The body is oval, and the legs terminate in large, dark claws well adapted to cling to hairs. Hog lice are bluish-gray in color. They are found only on hG>gs except in very unusual cases. The eggs or "nits" are glued to the hairs and hatch in 12 to 20 days. Young lice mature in 10 to 12 days. The average life cycle is about 35 days. Lice suck blood from the host, and …

The Experimental Histopathology Of The "Tumor" On The Brain Of The Stickleback Caused By Diplostomum Baeri Eucaliae Hoffman And Hundley, 1957 (Trematoda: Strigeoidea)), Glenn L. Hoffman, James B. Hoyme

United States Fish and Wildlife: Staff Publications

The structure of the "tumor" on the brain of the stickleback fish, Eucalia inconstans (Kirtland) caused by Diplostomum baeri eucaliae, has been briefly reported (Hoffman and Hoyme, 1957; Hoffman and Hundley, 1957) and consists of an outgrowth of the columnar epithelium of the choroid plexus which surrounds the metacercariae at the postero-lateral aspect of the optic lobes. The present report deals with the experimental development of the "tumor."
No record of a comparable structure in fish could be found and the reader is referred to our earlier paper (Hoffman and Hundley, 1957) for further introduction, and materials and methods.

Field Techniques For Sexing And Aging Game Animals, Donald R. Thompson

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Publications

The purpose of this booklet is to provide a ready field reference for identification, sexing and aging of common game species. It has purposely been kept in simplified form, presenting only those techniques which can commonly be applied in the field and avoiding those which would require special equipment and skills. Untrained personnel should be given demonstrations of the techniques, and thereafter this reference should serve as a reminder. It is not expected that the reference could successfully be used without such demonstration. Certain of the techniques such as cloaca! examination of waterfowl may require considerable practice by the individual. …

Research Notes: Experimental Infection With Strigoid Cercariae, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife: Staff Publications

During the summers of 1947 and 1948 strigeoid cercariae from Carrol Lake, Wisconsin were collected and identified by the late Dr. F. G. Brooks and turned over to the writer for use in the experimental infection of frog tadpoles and various fish. It was hoped to establish or eliminate these animals as the second intermediate host. One of the 8 tested was found infective for fish, and 1 infected tadpoles. These records do not elucidate the life cycles of these worms, but it is hoped that the work may help in the future study of strigeoid cercariae.

Studies On The Life-Cycle Of Ornithodiplostomum Ptychocheilus (Faust) (Trematoda: Strigeoieda) And The "Self Cure" Of Infected Fish*, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife: Staff Publications

During the summer of 1956 the following fish of Turtle River (Arvilla), North Dakota were found infected with the Neascus metacercaria of Ornithodiplostomum ptychocheilus (Faust): Northern common shiner (Notropis cornutus frontalis), bigmouth shiner (Notropis d. dorsalis), creek chub (Semotilus a. atromaculatus), fathead (Pimephales p. promelas), and johnny darter (Boleosoma n. nigrum). The cysts were usually very numerous (up to 400 per fish) in the mesenteries of the chub and common shiner; they were also very numerous in the cranial cavity and in the fat bodies behind the eyes of the …

Taxonomic Studies On Adult And Larval Ascidians From California, Robert Christian Haugsten

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The primary purpose of this research is to further morphological studies on larval ascidians and to encourage greater reliance on larval structures in ascidian taxonomy. This may necessitate some revisions in current classifications, but it is hoped that such revisions will lead to a better understanding of the group. Some general considerations of ascidians are here included for the benefit of those who may not be familiar with them. All specimens used in this study were collected at the Pacific Marine Station area at Dillon Beach, California, during June, July, and August of 1957.

Observations On Distribution And Elimination Of Spores Of Nematopsis Ostrearum In Oysters, Sung Yen Feng

VIMS Articles

A non-random distribution of cysts of Nematopsi.s along the mantle margin of oysters was discovered. Sampling sites must be carefully chosen for cornparative studies. When oysters with high and low initial infections of Nematopsis were transplanted into areas of low and high infestation respectively, the transplants attained the characteristic level of inf'ections of native oysters in that area. Presumably a dynamic equilibrium of elimination and reinfection of the parasite was reached. Spores discharged from living oysters may infect crabs.
