Genetics, behavior, and disease resistance in chickens
… plus changes in body weight, lymphocytes and heterophils. Lymphocytes were more responsive to the short term changes than heterophils. It appears from the data that "fear" and head shaking behaviors are vehicles by which chickens adapt to long term environmental changes, but are not used for …

Seasonal Variation in Desert Tortoise Immune Function
… a standard strain of Escherichia coli. Ratios of heterophils to lymphocytes were used to infer relative levels of chronic stress and/or activity among the four seasons. Bacteriocidal capacity was significantly suppressed during winter relative to the other three seasons, but heterophil:lymphocytes …

Ontogeny and biological function of epithelial cells in the chicken yolk sac and small intestine
… genes were found to be expressed by chicken heterophils distributed in the yolk sac blood islands and small intestinal blood vessels. Only a subset of heterophils, which might be activated, were able to express AvBD1, 2, and 7 mRNA. In the intestine, the expression of AvBD10 mRNA was …

Toxic effects of dietary methylmercury on immune system structure, function, and development in the American kestrel (Falco sparverius)
… CMI (p = 0.019), elevation in the proportion of heterophils (p < 0.001) and total white blood cell counts (p < 0.001), and a decline in the proportion of peripheral blood lymphocytes (p < 0.001). Primary antibody-mediated immune response was suppressed at 0.6 µg/g MeHg (p = 0.014), but secondary …

Bacterial profiles and ex vivo effects of Salmonella Heidelberg on leukocyte function in turkey purebred lines
Escalating product recalls as a consequence of Salmonella-contaminated poultry products have resulted in detrimental economic impacts. One long-term alternative to Salmonella prevention, receiving increased attention, is selection to improve genetic resistance. This study evaluated the effects of …
