  • New perspectives in archosaur biology

    Creator:
    Harwell, Amy E.
    Abstract:
    The respiratory and metabolic biology of dinosaurs is poorly, if at all, reflected in the fossil record. By comparing anatomical features of modern taxa that are functionally linked to specific biology with the remains of theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda) and early birds, we may reasonably infer the physiology of long...

  • Viruses associated with respiratory disease : a study of sheep in an Oregon and Colorado feedlot

    Creator:
    Babar, Shakeel
    Abstract:
    A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of virus infection in lambs undergoing respiratory tract disease (RTD). The investigation was divided into three study groups and consisted of lambs which were 4 to 5 months of age. In the first group (N=200), paired serum samples were taken from lambs...

  • Dinosaur lung structure and ventilation of the abdominal air sacs in birds

    Creator:
    Sapp, Methea
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to identify any ostelogical features which might prevent paradoxical movement (=lateral collapse) of the abdominal air sacs in birds during inhalation. A combination of 26 fresh and frozen adult bird carcasses representing 10 avian orders were procured from local sources. Dissections of each specimen...

  • Respiratory pathogenesis of Pasteurella Multocida in turkeys

    Creator:
    Abrar, Mahdi
    Abstract:
    Pasteurella multocida causes diseases in many animal species including fowl cholera, a septicemic disease of poultry and other birds. Pathogenesis of the disease has been studied by many investigators by the systemic administration of the organism in poultry. However, only a few studies have been done as to the respiratory...

  • New insights into the biology of theropod dinosaurs

    Creator:
    Quick, Devon E.
    Abstract:
    There is little, if any, direct fossil evidence of the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive or digestive biology of dinosaurs. However, a variety of data can be used to draw reasonable inferences about the physiology of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda). Extant archosaurs, birds and crocodilians, possess regionally differentiated, vascularized and...

  • Multiplex real-time PCR in the detection and differentiation of bovine respiratory disease pathogens

    Creator:
    Zulauf, Brian J.
    Abstract:
    Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and bovine parainfluenza virus Type 3 (BPI3) are ubiquitous respiratory pathogens of cattle, which contribute to causation of bovine respiratory disease complex. As these respiratory viral pathogens cause very similar clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis of the pathogens is required in one...

    Creator:
    Longo, Bernadette Mae
    Abstract:
    After 22 years of eruption at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, an environmental, epidemiological, and ethnographic study was conducted to assess for adverse health effects from chronic exposure to volcanogernc air pollution. Environmental data from 2003 indicated that Kau District, from 37 to 74 km downwind from the eruption, was being exposed...
