Migratory shrimps are often major biotic components of tropical stream communities, yet spatial and temporal patterns of their migration have yet to be described. This information is of increasing importance given the continued fragmentation of tropical streams by damming and water abstraction/diversion, which can disrupt migratory life cycles.2. Larval amphidromous shrimps are released by adult females in freshwater streams. They then drift passively to an estuarine habitat where they metamorphose before migrating back upstream. Drift of larval shrimps was sampled over two to five 24-h periods at each of three sites along two rivers that drain the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico: the Espíritu Santo (10, 135 and 335 m a.s.l.) and the Mameyes (10, 90 and 290 m a.s.l.). A total of seventeen diel samplings were conducted.3. Shrimp drift increased in the downstream direction in both catchments, and had a significant positive exponential relationship with length of stream channel above each site. There was no significant difference between catchments with respect to mean daily drift rate per km of stream channel. Maximum observed larval shrimp density was 69 102 larvae 100 m–3 (1.7 g dry mass 100 m–3), which is high relative to published invertebrate drift studies.4. The pattern of shrimp drift agreed with the ’risk of predation hypothesis‘. In stream reaches with predatory fish, drift of larval shrimps occurred at night and was slight during the day. A nocturnal peak in drift occurred between 19.00 and 22.00 h. At a high-altitude site, where predatory fish were absent, no diel pattern was discernible.5. The present study provides information on the timing of migratory drift of larval shrimps, which can minimize the adverse effects of water abstraction from streams draining the Luquillo Experimental Forest. Elimination of water withdrawal during peak larval drift after dark will significantly reduce shrimp mortality.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1998Staff ViewISSN: 1432-8798Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Summary. Thirty-two RSV strains recovered during the winter months of 1987/88 to 1993/94 from hospitalized children in Vienna, Austria and Zagreb, Croatia were analysed for antigenic and genetic variations. Twenty-nine of the 32 isolates investigated belonged to group A and 3 to group B, with the majority of infections caused by subgroup A1 (21 of 29). Restriction endonuclease mapping of PCR products derived from parts of the N and G gene of 18 group A strains identified 3 distinct lineages, very similar to those defined by analysis of recurrent epidemics in Birmingham, United Kingdom during the same period. Results of this study povide further information on the global pattern of RSV and show that very similar viruses are present simultaneously in widely separated areas.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

14Factors influencing the dynamics of the multiplication of foot-and-mouth disease virus in adult miceStaff View
ISSN: 1432-8798Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Summary 1. Genetic differences between virus strains give rise to characteristic sharp differences in virulence, in lag period, in tissue predilection, in host and tissue affinity, and in the disease syndrome. 2. Genetic differences between host animals of the same species determine whether — and the extent to which — an infecting virus propagates, how long the incubation period lasts, in what tissue early virus multiplication electively takes place, and whether the animal becomes clinically ill and succumbs to specific disease or not. 3. Differences in the route of inoculation can determine whether, and to what extent virus multiplies, how long the incubation period or lag phase lasts, in what tissues early multiplication takes place, and what kind of clinical response results. 4. Effective selection for adaptation in a constant host necessarily results in also changing the genetically determined tissue-preference pattern of a virus strain. The extent of change will depend on the power, duration and rigidity of selection, and on the genetic limitations of the virus. 5. FMD virus strains that have not been specially adapted in adult mice show no predilection for muscle of the hind limbs, irrespective of the route of inoculation. The only consistent evidence of predilection for multiplication in muscle of the hind limbs was obtained in the case of a preadapted strain (RV11mo) inoculated into muscle tissue of the mouse strain to which it had been adapted. 6. After i. p. inoculation the earliest evidence of active virus multiplication, and subsequently also the highest virus concentration, is found in the pancreas. Thus ability to multiply in pancreatic tissue of adult mice may well be a property of most strains of FMD virus irrespective of the degree of their adaptation to growth in other tissues. High virus concentrations in the pancreas are frequently correlated with severe oedema of this tissue. 7. Where virus multiplies preferentially in the pancreas or in uninvestigated tissues, clinical signs observed were those of general malaise without paralysis, while preferential propagation in muscle usually first resulted in paralysis of the hind limbs.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1572-994XKeywords: respiratory syncytial virus ; fusion protein gene ; nucleotide sequence ; inferred amino acid sequenceSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract Six different genotypes (designated lineages SHL1–6) of human respiratory syncytial (RS) virus have been defined by partial nucleotide sequence analysis of the variable SH and the hypervariable G membrane protein genes, and by restriction fragment analysis of the conserved N protein gene of viruses isolated in south Birmingham. Viruses of very similar genotype appear to be present worldwide at the present time. We have determined the nucleotide sequences of the fusion protein genes of five viruses isolated in south Birmingham in the same year, but belonging to different lineages, and have compared them with the sequences of four subgroup A viruses isolated at earlier times from diverse localities. The sequence diversity of the F genes of these five viruses, as measured by nucleotide (94.5–98.5%) and inferred amino acid (97.0–99.3%) identities, is comparable with that of the nine subgroup A viruses considered as a whole. No sequence changes occur in any of the sites of known epitopes. Comparison of the nine subgroup A sequences with the published sequences of a subgroup B strain and three bovine RS viruses confirms that the F protein sequences are most divergent in the F2 region.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
