Wijerathna, Asha, Evenden, Maya
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins is a major native pest of pine (Pinus Linnaeus (Pinaceae)) in western North America. Host colonization by mountain pine beetle is associated with an obligatory dispersal phase, during which beetles fly in search of a suitable host....

Feeding long chain (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids to obese leptin receptor deficient JCR:LA-cp rats modifies immune function and lipid raft fatty acid composition
Download2009
Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D.
Dietary EPA and DHA modulate immunity and thereby may improve the aberrant immune function in obese states. To determine the effects of feeding fish oil (FO) containing EPA and DHA on splenocyte phospholipid (PL) and lipid-raft fatty acid composition, phenotypes and cytokine production,...

Innate immunity and carbohydrate metabolism alterations precede occurrence of subclinical mastitis in transition dairy cows
Download2015
Dervishi, Elda, Dunn, Suzana M., Zhang, Guanshi, Ametaj, Burim N., Hailemariam, Dagnachew
Background This study examined whether activation of innate immunity and alterations of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism precede development of subclinical mastitis (SCM). Methods Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein from 100 Holstein dairy cows at -8, -4, disease diagnosis week,...
