Recovery of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus from the faeces of wild piscivorous birds

Faecal samples were collected from wild birds frequenting salmonid fish hatcheries to determine if birds excrete infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus in their faeces. Samples were collected from early June through early September. IPN virus was detected in faeces from herons, mallards, and other birds at titres similar to the titres found in the hatchery fish. Bird predation and virus preval

Experimentally induced whirling disease II; Determination of longevity of the infective Triactinomyxon stage of Myxobolus cerebralis by vital staining

Effects of temperature and aging on viability and infectivity of laboratory-produced actinosporean triactinomyxon spores (infective stage of the organism causing whirling disease) were studied. In vitro staining of triactinomyxon spores with vital fluorescein diacetate correlated with the ability of the spores to infect fry of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The experimentally produced actinosp

Comparison of cortical bone and serum concentrations of clindamycin achievable by direct local infusion and intravenous administration

Tibial cortical bone and serum concentrations of clindamycin were compared using two drug delivery methods in dogs. An implantable drug pump, used to continuously infuse clindamycin directly into the cortical bone, was compared with clindamycin administered i.v. Dosage for the direct continuous infusion was 4 mg/kg/day, and 44 mg/kg/day for the i.v. bolus regimen. Serum concentrations of clindamyc

Effects of sodium and calcium on acute toxicity of un-ionized ammonia to Atlantic salmon and lake trout

Acute, static 6-hour toxicity tests were conducted on two sizes each of lake trout and Atlantic salmon in the presence of three levels each of NaCl and CaCl2. Calcium did not protect smolts from NH3 toxicity but had no effect on the tolerance of Atlantic salmon fry to NH3. Both cations increased the tolerance of 8-g lake trout fingerlings to NH3, but neither significantly affected the toxicity of
