Nonsporing Anaerobic Bacteria In Foods, Sylvia M. Huppler Jan 1978

Nonsporing Anaerobic Bacteria In Foods, Sylvia M. Huppler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Anaerobic non spore forming bacteria are not detected in routine food examinations, and their occurrences in foods has seldom been reported in the literature. The purpose of this study is to determine the occurrence of non-spore forming anaerobes, the identification of the isolates found, and the possible growth and multiplication in foods which might contribute to spoilage or food illness.


Characterization Of A Bovine Parvovirus, Thomas J. Langpap Jan 1974

Characterization Of A Bovine Parvovirus, Thomas J. Langpap

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Bovine parvovirus has been shown to produce calf scours (40). Although exact figures are unavailable, a sizeable economic loss is suffered annually by South Dakotans as a result of this disease. Bovine parvovirus has been isolated in South Dakota (7). However, the extent of exposure to the virus is unknown. The object of this study is to characterize the South Dakota parvovirus isolate and determine by serological methods the extent of exposure in cattle. A preliminary study to determine the ability of parvovirus to cause abortion in cattle will also be undertaken.


Application Of 125i To The Detection And Assay Of Viruses And Viral Antibody Adsorbed To Latex Particles, Charles Steven Duvall Jan 1973

Application Of 125i To The Detection And Assay Of Viruses And Viral Antibody Adsorbed To Latex Particles, Charles Steven Duvall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study, then, was undertaken to develop a universal, in vitro, extracellular method utilizing fluorescence and radioactive 125I to rapidly detect, identify, and quantitate pathogenic viruses and viral antibodies. Focus of the study is the CLAM model, which consists of inert latex particles, plus four radioactively labeled components: antibody, virus, enzyme (RNase) and fluorochrome (FITC).
