Molecular Studies involving the Rev Protein of Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus and Visna Virus.
<p>Caprine Arthirtis Encephalitis Virus (CAEV) and Visna Virus are two viruses of the lentivirus family. They encode three structural genes (<em>gag</em>, <em>pol</em>, and <em>env</em>) and two regulatory genes (<em>rev</em> and <em>tat</em>). The Rev protein regulates Gag, Pol and Env expression …

Changes in Suid and Caprine Husbandry Practices Throughout Dynastic Egypt Using Linear Enamel Hypoplasia (LEH)
… of LEH in the archaeological remains of pigs and caprines (sheep and goat) from thirteen different ancient Egyptian sites, investigating the links between LEH, possible changes in husbandry practices, geographic, as well as site contexts, and compare it to modern Egyptian pig and caprine data from …

Enamel hypoplasia in modern and archaeological caprine populations: The development and application of a new methodological approach
… hypoplasia in high-crowned species such as caprines and cattle. This research develops a methodological approach for recording enamel hypoplasia in high-crowned species which is applied to modern and archaeological caprine populations from three geographically distinct regions (Orkney, Kenya …

Advanced Studies in Veterinary Anatomy: Angiogenesis in Caprine Reproductive Organs of Non-Pregnant and Pregnant Normal and Swainsonine-Treated Does
The female reproductive organs are among the few adult tissues in which periodic angiogenesis normally occurs. Pathological angiogenesis can occur in various conditions, such as solid tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling often represents a critical rate-limiting step in …

Analysis of Nucleosides and Nucleotides in Milk and Infant Formula
… applied to the analysis of mature bovine, caprine, and ovine milk. The contributions to TPAN from polymeric nucleotides, monomeric nucleotides, and nucleotide adducts were then calculated. Ovine milk contained the highest concentration of TPAN (374.1 µmol dL-1), with lower concentrations in …

Structure-function analysis of HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells)
… of HAMLET, by comparing human, bovine, equine, caprine and porcine alpha-lactalbumin (paper I). The fatty acid specificity in HAMLET was studied using fatty acids differing in chain lenth, saturation and orientation of the double bond (paper II). We have also used stably unfolded …

An agonist-antagonist myoneural interface for proprioception from a neurally-controlled prosthesis
… and validated in small (murine) and large (caprine) pre-clinical models. A detailed surgical methodology for implementation of the AMI during primary below-knee amputation is then described and evaluated in three human patients. Characterization of independent neural control of prosthetic …

Exploring the cell surface : identification and characterization of lipoproteins in Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides large colony, Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri, and Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum
… that are the focus of this discussion are three caprine pathogens: Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides Large Colony, Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri, and Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum. These organisms are causative agents of contagious agalactia as well as polyarthritis, pneumonia, …

Anti-idiotype antibodies and phage displayed peptides as antigenic mimics of a Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae epitope
Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is a highly contagious disease that affects goats in Africa and Asia resulting in great economic losses. The aetiological agent is Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp). It belongs to a group of organisms that are all associated with …

Archaeological seeds and local varieties of edible fruits: morphology through time
… Many of these amphorae contained ovine/caprine bones with butchery marks associated with grapes and other fruits, as plums, sloes, and junipers, which may have played a role in meat preservation. Other fruits and nuts found in the same contexts, such as watermelon, bottle gourd, …

Experimental Evaluation of Urinary Bladder Marsupialization in Male Goats
Urinary bladder marsupialization has been successful in producing acceptable long-term resolution of clinical cases of obstructive urolithiasis in male goats. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the six-month outcome of urinary bladder marsupialization in male goats. The urinary bladders of …

Molecular characterization of mycoplasmas species isolated from the genital tract of Dorper sheep in South Africa
… 34 were found to be 99 % similar to M. sp. ovine/caprine serogroup II. Two isolates out of 34 are 99 % similar to A. Laidlawii, and BLAST searches of two isolates gave 99 % similarity to M. sp. USP120. Two isolates were found to be 99 % similar to synthetic M. mycoides mycoides Jvc1. A last …
