  • Non-specific innate immunity against Escherichia coli infection in white leghorn chickens

    Creator:
    Huang, Hsuan-Jen
    Abstract:
    This research was initiated to investigate a high mortality problem occurring in market age broiler chickens in Oregon. Initial field investigations revealed that mortality was due to the systemic bacterial infections. The subsequent laboratory experiments suggested that suppressed short-term, non-specific innate immunity rather than pathogenic properties of bacteria caused the...

    Abstract:
    Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), commonly known as koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a member of the Alloherpesviridae and is a deadly pathogen for koi and common carp, Cyprinus carpio.

  • Population demography, resource use, and movement in cooperatively breeding Micronesian Kingfishers

    Creator:
    Kesler, Dylan C.
    Abstract:
    Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...
