Viral erythrocytic necrosis: Some physiological consequences of infection in chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta)

Erythroid cells in chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) susceptible to infection with erythrocytic necrosis virus (ENV) were examined by light and electron microscopy. Cells of stages II, III, IV, V, and VI contained complete eyrthrocytic necrosis virions in the cytoplasm. Viruses closely resembling ENV were also detected in the nuclei of some erythroblasts. Some secondary consequences of ENV infection

Two Cenozoic igneous events on the Alaska Peninsula: A section in Geological Survey research 1980

Potassium-argon dating work and geologic mapping in the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles (loc. 23) by F. H. Wilson, R. L. Detterman, J. E. Case, M. E. Yount, and others (Wilson and others, 1978; Detterman and others, 1979) have shown the existence of two major Cenozoic igneous episodes on the Alaska Peninsula. These events range in age from Eocene to late Oligocene and from early Miocene and

Toxicity of five forest insecticides to cutthroat trout and two species of aquatic invertebrates

The Northern Rocky Mountain region has had scattered infestation of the western spruce budworm Christoneura occidentalis since the early 1900's (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) 1976b). On the basis of aerial surveys in 1975, TUNNOCK et al. (1976), estimated that budworm defoliation occurred on 2,278,804 acres of six National Forests in Montana. Since the use of DDT was banned in 1972, there
