Internationally Guaranteed Constitutive Order: Cyprus And Bosnia As Predicates For A New Nontraditional Actor In The Society Of States, Thomas D. Grant

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

The purpose of this article is to discuss two state building projects in comparative perspective--one attempted in Cyprus from 1960 to 1963, and another in Bosnia begun in 1995 and still under way. In cooperation with local parties, segments of the international community undertook in both Cyprus and Bosnia to establish constitutive structures that could accommodate mutually antagonistic ethnic groups in a single state and secure a position for the state in international society. Faced with problems similar in several essential aspects, the framers of the Bosnian constitutive structures of 1995, and their forebears in Cyprus in 1960, formulated similar …

Glossina Fuscipes Fuscipes Newstead 1910 (Diptera, Glossinidae): Colour Preferences, Host-Funding Strategies And Responsiveness To Baited Traps, Jean-Berckmans Bahananga Muhigwa

All PhD Dissertations

This study was conducted on Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, a riverine species of Central and Eastern Africa. It focuses on (i) colour preferences, (ii) landing and feeding behaviours on a host, the Nile monitor and (iii) on the trappability in odour- and colour-baited traps. Colour preferences were studied using electric screens in the field. Colours that were found most attractive were combined to make traps. These traps were tested as visual baits, compared to the standard biconical trap Challier Laveissiere (1977). The performance of the most successful trap type was analyzed in relation with fly sex and fly abundance. It was …

Aspects Of The Mating Behaviour Of Glossina Morsitans Westwood And Gloss Ina Pallidipes Austen, Davies-Cole John Oliver Abimbola

All PhD Dissertations

sexual receptivity was investigated in glossing morsitans orsitans and glossing pallidipes by observing successful pairings of females for specified periods of time .the duration of copulation, degree of insemination of females and male accessory reproductive gland secretions were not responsible for the termination of sexual receptivi ty in aorsitans. however, mechanical stimulation due mainly to the onset of the 'male jerking phase • was the single most important factor responsible for refractoriness of feaales to further matings. technical stimulation alone caused over 70% refractoriness within 72 hours. this result is comparable to that of normal matings where mechanical stimulation is …

Role Of The Monitor Lizard Varanus Niloticus Laurenti In The Epidemiology Of Trypanosomiasis Along The Shores Of Lake Victoria, Kenya, Zipporah Waithera Njagu

All PhD Dissertations

Trypanosomiasis is one of the major factors that hinder development of rural economies in Africa. The diseases in Africa. The disease is endemic in some of the most potentially productive lands of tropical Africa where it severely constrains livestock production and human settlement. The lake Victoria shores in Kenya and Uganda have been endemic foci for human sleeping sickness since the early 1900's Glossina fuscipes has been responsible for these epidemics. Reptiles especially the monitor lizard are preferred food sources for G. Fuscipes. Studies were carried out to determine the role played by the monitor lizard, varanus niloticus in the …

The Effects Of Exercise On The Elderly Population: A Literature Review, Angela M. Thoreson

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

The population of those 65 years old or older has increased dramatically over the past several decades and will continue to grow well into the 21 st Century. This change in U.S. demography has also led to an increased interest in geriatric medicine and the implications physical activity has on the social, medical, and economical aspects of treating this patient population.

Research has shown that people who participate regularly in aerobic activity have lower mortality and morbidity rates, even if an exercise program is started later in life. Moderate exercise has been proven to be an important part of treatment …

Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis In Europe: Clinical And Laboratory Findings For Four Patients From Slovenia, Stanka Lotric-Furlan, Miroslav Petrovec, Tatjana Avsic Zupanc, William L. Nicholson, John W. Sumner, James E. Childs, Franc Strle

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

Febrile illnesses following a tick bite in patients from Slovenia were evaluated for an ehrlichial etiology. A case of acute human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) was confirmed by seroconversion to the HGE agent or molecular identification of ehrlichial organisms. Acute infection with the HGE agent was confirmed in four patients. None of the patients had detectable antibodies to the HGE agent at their first visit, but polymerase chain reaction analysis was positive for three patients. All four patients subsequently seroconverted to the HGE agent as shown by high titers of antibody. Clinical features and laboratory findings were similar to those in …

Ecologic Studies Of Rodent Reservoirs: Their Relevance For Human Health, James N. Mills, James E. Childs

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

Within the past few years, the number of “new” human diseases associated with small-mammal reservoirs has increased dramatically, stimulating renewed interest in reservoir ecology research. A consistent, integrative approach to such research allows direct comparisons between studies, contributes to the efficient use of resources and data, and increases investigator safety. We outline steps directed toward understanding vertebrate host ecology as it relates to human disease and illustrate the relevance of each step by using examples from studies of hosts associated with rodent-borne hemorrhagic fever viruses.

Rodent (Muridae: Sigmodontinae) blood and sera collected from 14 states were tested for seroreactivity to a cultured isolate of the human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent by using an indirect immunofluorescence assay. Of the 1,240 samples tested, 136 (11%) were found to be reactive at titers of ≥32. Rodents with HGE agent-specific antibodies were found in New York (23% of 491 samples; geometric mean endpoint titer GMT = 441), Connecticut (11% of 100 samples; GMT = 481), California (9% of 32 samples; GMT = 323), Colorado (2% of 212 samples; GMT = 256), Florida (7% of 27 samples; GMT = 362), …

Dietary Habits Of The Common Rodents In An Agrecosystem In Argentina, Barbara A. Ellis, James N. Mills, Gregory E. Glass, Kelly T. Mckee Jr, Delia A. Enria, James E. Childs

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

Dietary habits of five common rodents in agroecosystems on the central Argentine Pampa were studied for 15 months using microhistological analysis of stomach contents. All five rodent species were omnivorous, but proportions of major dietary items (arthropods, dicot leaves and seeds, monocot leaves and seeds) varied among species and seasons. Akodon azarae largely was entomophagous; arthropods formed 41-62% of the diet in all seasons. The other four species (Calomys musculinus, Calomys laucha, Bolomys obscurus, and Oligoryzomys flavescens) consumed most diet items throughout the year, but relative proportions varied among seasons. Leaves formed a relatively minor proportion of the …

Monoclonal Antibody F89/160.1.5 Defines A Conserved Epitope On The Ruminant Prion Protein, Katherine I. O'Rourke, Timothy V. Baszler, Janice M. Miller, Terry R. Spraker, Ingrid Sadler-Riggleman, Donald P. Knowles

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a heterogeneous group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders occurring in humans, mink, cats, and ruminant herbivores. The occurrence of novel transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in cattle in the United Kingdom and Europe and in mule deer and elk in parts of the United States has emphasized the need for reliable diagnostic tests with standardized reagents. Postmortem diagnosis is performed by histologic examination of brain sections from affected animals. The histopathological criteria for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies include gliosis, astrocytosis, neuronal degeneration, and spongiform change. These lesions vary in intensity and anatomic location depending on the host species and …

Preclinical Detection Of PrpSc In Nictitating Membrane Lymphoid Tissue Of Sheep, Katherine I. O'Rourke, T. V. Baszler, S. M. Parish, D. P. Knowles

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

SHEEP scrapie is the prototype of a heterogeneous group of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSES) which occur in humans, cattle, cats, mink and cervids. TSEs are characterised by the deposition of prion proteins (Prp-Scrapie or Prp^Sc) in the central nervous system of affected individuals (Prusiner 1982). PrP^Sc and infectivity have also been detected in the lymphoreticular system of sheep well before symptoms occur (Hadlow and others 1982, Race and others 1992). Detection of Prp^Sc in lymphoid tissue, such as tonsils or peripheral lymph nodes, has been proposed as a preclinical diagnostic test for scrapie (Ikegami and others …
