United States Patent , Number: 5,602,242: Hybrid Rna Virus, Paul G. Ahlquist, Roy C. French, Robert F. Sacher

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

A recombinant RNA virus is provided allowing encapsidation of genetically engineered viral sequences in heterologous, preferably rod-shaped coat, protein capsids. Since icosahedral viruses are limited in the amount of RNA they can carry, and rod-shaped viruses are expansible, this invention allows the size of recombinant virus RNA components to be increased (or decreased). Methods of making and using such recombinant viruses are also provided, specifically with respect to the transfection of plants to bring about genotypic and phenotypic changes.

Sterically Stabilized Ph-Sensitive Liposomes. Intracellular Delivery Of Aqueous Contents And Prolonged Circulation In Vivo, Vladimir A. Slepushkin, Sérgio Simões, Paul Dazin, Mary S. Newman, Luke S. Guo, Maria C. Pedroso De Lima, Nejat Düzgüneş Feb 1997

Sterically Stabilized Ph-Sensitive Liposomes. Intracellular Delivery Of Aqueous Contents And Prolonged Circulation In Vivo, Vladimir A. Slepushkin, Sérgio Simões, Paul Dazin, Mary S. Newman, Luke S. Guo, Maria C. Pedroso De Lima, Nejat Düzgüneş

All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles

Liposomes that destabilize at mildly acidic pH are efficient tools for delivering water-soluble drugs into the cell cytoplasm. However, their use in vivo is limited because of their rapid uptake from circulation by the reticuloendothelial system. Lipid-anchored polyethylene glycol (PEG-PE) prolongs the circulation time of liposomes by steric stabilization. We have found that addition of PEG-PE to the membrane of pH-sensitive liposomes composed of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHEMS) and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) confers steric stability to these vesicles. This modification significantly decreases the pH-dependent release of a charged water-soluble fluorophore, calcein, from liposomes suspended in buffer or cell culture medium. However, the …

Food Habits Of Mountain Lions In The Trans-Pecos Region Of Texas, Rosemary A. Heinen, S. Kemble Canon Feb 1997

Food Habits Of Mountain Lions In The Trans-Pecos Region Of Texas, Rosemary A. Heinen, S. Kemble Canon

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

Information regarding mountain lion (Felis concolor) food habits is relatively scarce overall, and this is particularly true in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. Most information currently available is from Big Bend National Park where livestock are excluded and game animals are not actively managed. This study involved the analysis of 32 mountain lion stomachs collected throughout the Trans-Pecos over a 14 month period. Deer (Odocoileus spp.) and javelina (Tayassu tajacu) were the predominate prey species, each occurring in 39% of the stomachs analyzed. Domestic livestock was found in 9% of the total stomachs and non-game …

Depredation On Artificial Ground Nests By Japanese Macaques: The Unspoken Exotic In Texas, Justin G. Feild, Scott E. Henke, Justin G. Mccoy Feb 1997

Depredation On Artificial Ground Nests By Japanese Macaques: The Unspoken Exotic In Texas, Justin G. Feild, Scott E. Henke, Justin G. Mccoy

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) are old world monkeys that were introduced to Texas in 1972, and their population has since increased to over 800 individuals. Macaques are considered to be primarily vegetarian but will opportunistically forage on a variety of food items. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine if macaques impact the nest success of bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). In June 1996, 20 artificial ground nests simulating those of bobwhite quail were placed randomly in areas with and without macaques. Nests were checked at 3-day intervals for 24 days and nest success was …

Livestock Protection Collar Use In California, Robert M. Timm, Gary D. Simmons, John R. Hays Feb 1997

Livestock Protection Collar Use In California, Robert M. Timm, Gary D. Simmons, John R. Hays

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

Use of the Livestock Protection Collar (LP Collar) containing sodium fluoroacetate began on a research basis in October 1995 at the UC Hopland Research and Extension Center. Registration for use in California only by certified ADC specialists was granted in early 1996, and operational use in three north coast counties began in early 1997. Preparation for beginning operational use dealt with concerns regarding user certification, hazardous waste disposal, and public relations. We report on the success to date of using LP Collars to remove sheep-killing coyotes. Incidents in which non-target predators including mountain lions have attacked LP-Collared sheep are also …

Sheep Predation By Coyotes: A Behavioral Analysis, Ray T. Sterner Feb 1997

Sheep Predation By Coyotes: A Behavioral Analysis, Ray T. Sterner

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

This paper presents (1) a brief overview of several concepts important to predator-prey behaviors of coyotes, (2) results of an enclosure study of sheep-attack, -immobilization, and -ingestion responses involving 12 male coyotes (Canis latrans) that were paired with sheep after observing various sheep- predation events by conspecifics, and (3) an analysis of sheep predation based upon operant learning principles. Contrasts between comparative psychological and ethological approaches to the study of animal behavior are described. Results of the enclosure study (0.127-ha) showed that following matched-length trials of observing predation, non-predation, and lone sheep, 3, 2, and 1 coyote(s), respectively, …

Experimental Rodent Control At The Beef Cattle Research Center, Kansas State University, Philip S. Gipson, Charles D. Lee, Matthew L. Burenheide, Jan F. Kamler, Justin E. Kretzer, Daniel J. Martin, Celine C. Perchellet, Chad M. Willemssen, Jennifer Weins Feb 1997

Experimental Rodent Control At The Beef Cattle Research Center, Kansas State University, Philip S. Gipson, Charles D. Lee, Matthew L. Burenheide, Jan F. Kamler, Justin E. Kretzer, Daniel J. Martin, Celine C. Perchellet, Chad M. Willemssen, Jennifer Weins

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

Little research has been conducted on rodent control techniques in livestock feedlot situations. We tested efficacy of several treatments including two anticoagulant baits, an acute toxicant and snap trapping to reduce rodent populations at the Beef Cattle Research Center at Kansas State University. Among the four treatments utilized, Contrac®, Blox®, and Ditrac® Tracking Powder reduced the number of active burrows. ZP® Rodent Bait had no observed effect on the rodent population and no rodents were taken with snap traps. Burrow activity appears to be a better census method when compared to corn consumption when rodents have access to unlimited food.

Dealing With The Policy Makers, Herb Manig Feb 1997

Dealing With The Policy Makers, Herb Manig

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

First, “Why would policy makers be interested in wildlife damage control in the first place?” In response, I would have to say that the problems with wildlife are increasing in number, diversity and complexity. Policy makers cannot afford to ignore controversies caused by them. We have problems in transportation with deer/automobiles collisions. We have airplane engines ingesting birds. We have health problems with respect to disease. Wildlife damage costs money. We also have problems with aesthetics. Some of the homeowners may not lose a lot of money when deer nibble their shrubs but they certainly don't like the looks of …

Use Of Netted-Cage Traps In Population Management And Research Of Urban White-Tailed Deer, Kurt C. Vercauteren, Jeff Beringer, Scott Hygnstrom Feb 1997

Use Of Netted-Cage Traps In Population Management And Research Of Urban White-Tailed Deer, Kurt C. Vercauteren, Jeff Beringer, Scott Hygnstrom

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

Growing populations of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in urban areas often conflict with local human interests and present challenges to natural resource managers. Netted-cage traps can be an important tool for management of urban deer populations where traditional control methods may not be appropriate or acceptable. We discuss the design of netted-cage traps, trapping techniques, and the handling of trapped deer.

Mylar Flags As Gull Deterrents, Jerrold L. Belant, Sheri K. Ickes Feb 1997

Mylar Flags As Gull Deterrents, Jerrold L. Belant, Sheri K. Ickes

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

During 1996, we evaluated the effectiveness of mylar flags for deterring herring gulls (Larus argentatus) from 2 nesting colonies (roof and breakwall) and herring and ring-billed (L. deglawarensis) gulls from 2 loafing sites at a landfill. Mylar flags (15 cm x 1.0 m) attached to wire or lathe supports were positioned at 6-m intervals at nesting colonies and 3- to 12-m intervals at loafing areas. For both nesting colonies, time of nest initiation, nest density, and clutch size in 1996 when flags were present was similar to or greater than values obtained for these parameters at …

Technical Publication Of Wildlife Damage Research, Michael W. Fall, William B. Jackson

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

The growth of the subdiscipline of wildlife damage research is producing a wealth of scientific information about methods of resolving conflicts between animals and people. Scientists working on these problems have, for many years, found difficulty in publishing the results of their applied research investigations in traditional scientific journal outlets, leading to a diverse information base that encompasses a variety of technical journals and a large “gray” literature in non-refereed publications. Although a number of current scientific journals welcome papers reporting the results of wildlife damage research, the identification of suitable primary outlets for such work, particularly for studies conducted …
