Initial response of a mixed-conifer understory plant commnity to burning and thinning restoration treatments

Creator:: Wayman, Rebecca Bewley and North, Malcolm
Abstract:: Mechanical thinning and prescribed fire are widely used to restore western forests after a century of fire suppression, yet we know little about how these treatments affect understory communities where plant diversity is highest. We followed understory plants and environmental factors in old-growth, Sierran mixed conifer for two pre-treatment and...

Developing a system of mutagenesis in Francisella tularensis LVS

Creator:: Flax, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative facultative intracellular coccobacillus that primarily infects macrophages. The causative agent of tularemia, this bacterium is considered among the most infectious organisms known, requiring fewer than ten organisms to cause disease. Although ubiquitous in nature, transmission to humans is rare but can occur via insect bites,...

Effects of Feeding OmniGen-AF® on Superovulatory Response in Donor Beef Cows

Creator:: Snider, Alexandria P.
Abstract:: One assisted reproductive tool used to propagate highly desirable genetics from elite sire and dam matings is embryo transfer. Superovulation is the first part of the overall protocol and it is a required yet costly and biologically stressful procedure in cattle embryo transfer. The process of superovulation results in high...

Quantification of Cytokine Production Following Exposure to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) to Determine Potential Role in Suppression of the Immune Response in a Graft versus Host (GvH) Model

Creator:: Magaña, Laura Cristal
Abstract:: 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a potent immunosuppressant and a prototypic ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In a graft versus host (GvH) response, treatment with TCDD suppresses a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response by Day 10, concurrent with a T-regulatory (Treg) like phenotype in the donor CD4+ T-cells, observed on Day...

Rift Valley fever in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) : basic epidemiology and the role of bovine tuberculosis coinfection

Creator:: Beechler, Brianna
Abstract:: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic viral disease native to the African continent. Outbreaks tend to occur in the wet seasons, and can affect numerous mammalian species including African buffalo. It is debated how the virus survives the inter-epidemic period when it is not detected in mammalian populations,...

Wildlife Health in Managed Forests : Immunity and Infectious Diseases in Wild Rodents of Oregon

Creator:: Hanselmann, Rhea
Abstract:: With continual and worldwide human population growth, our impact on the natural environment expands and intensifies every day. We consume natural resources, burn fossil fuels, and release toxic compounds into the air, water, and earth. We build roads that fragment the landscape, construct new settlements, and develop agricultural lands in...

Identification of Viruses Associated with Raspberry Leaf Curl Disease

Creator:: Guzman Martinez, Melinda
Abstract:: Raspberries are an important commodity worldwide, with the United States (U.S.) leading fourth in global production in 2017. An important factor when shipping propagated Rubus across the globe is the security of clean plant material verified through pathogen detection methods which is vital in preventing disease spread. A raspberry virus...
