The literature relating to fascioliasis in experimental hosts,
and the clawed jird (Meriones unguiculatus) as an experimental host
was reviewed.
Four experiments were conducted using experimental hosts for
Fasciola hepatica. The first two experiments were done using Swiss
mice, B. P. laboratory albino strain; the third and fourth experiments
involved...
Attempts were made to study the effect of parathion and DDT
on the postnatal development of mice. Parathion, DDT or corn oil
(control) was administered to gravid mice during the first, second,
and third trimesters of pregnancy. Thus, nine groups of offspring
were obtained. Four different techniques, Audiogenic Seizure,
Conditioned...
An experiment was conducted to determine if selection from
standardized litters would be effective in separating lines of mice
selected for increased and decreased litter weight at 14 days of age,
and if response to selection on this maternally influenced trait could
be accurately predicted.
Data were collected on litter...
Mouse embryo cells cultured in vitro in serum-supplemented media undergo growth
crisis, resulting in the loss of genomically normal cells prior to the appearance of
established, aneuploid cell lines. I used the technique of serum-free cell culture to develop
a serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cell line in which serum was...
The effect of vitamin B-6 (VB6) deficiency in mice on host
susceptibility to primary and secondary Moloney-sarcoma virus
(MSV)-induced tumor growth, cytotoxic activities of T cells,
antibodies and natural killer (NK) cells, and phagocytosis by
macrophages was examined. Five- to six-week old female C57B1/6 mice
were fed 20% casein diets...
