The Impact Of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals On Wildlife Conservation, Eda Reed Jan 2016

The Impact Of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals On Wildlife Conservation, Eda Reed

Honors Theses

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as those from plastics and pesticides, have been hypothesized to affect wildlife populations. According to the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, EDCs ‘are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife.’ A growing number of studies suggest wildlife are being exposed to EDCs, but how EDCs affect wildlife health and wildlife conservation is less well-understood. Through scientific literature analysis and a survey of wildlife conservationists and practitioners, this study aims to determine the current state of knowledge and data …


Development Of A Robust Genetic Test For Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (Hypp) In Quarter Horses, Samantha Traver Jun 2011

Development Of A Robust Genetic Test For Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (Hypp) In Quarter Horses, Samantha Traver

Honors Theses

A single nucleotide substitution in a region of the skeletal muscle sodium channel gene (SCN4A) is known to cause an equine genetic disorder known as Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP). The clinical effects of this disorder range from little or no symptoms to frequent episodes of muscle tremors, weakness, and/or complete collapse. Oligonucleotide primer pairs were designed for both the wild type and mutant alleles of the SCN4A gene for use in Amplification Refractory Mutation System-PCR (ARMS-PCR). These primers were tested with genomic DNA isolated from whole blood, saliva swabs, and hair of individual horses. It was determined that horse hair …


The Impact Of Tricaine Methanesulfonate, 2-Phenoxyethanol, And Carvone-Methyl Salicylate On The Innate Immune Response Of Zebrafish (Danio Rerio), Charles R. Wulff Jan 2011

The Impact Of Tricaine Methanesulfonate, 2-Phenoxyethanol, And Carvone-Methyl Salicylate On The Innate Immune Response Of Zebrafish (Danio Rerio), Charles R. Wulff

Honors Theses

Anesthesia plays a vital role in the maintenance of aquaculture species, where it is used to minimize stress during complex handling tasks such as transport, assessment, and harvesting. However, anesthetics have been shown to suppress the innate immune response, which could impact immunity and increase risk of infection. Tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) and 2-Phenoxyethanol (2-PE) represent two of the most commonly used anesthetics in aquaculture, with R-(+)-carvone, in the form of carvone-methyl salicylate (CMS) has recently been proposed as an alternative anesthetic for food fish. These three anesthetics were used to assess the influence of anesthetics on the immune system of …
