    Notes: The frequency of two newly defined HLA antigens, HLA CT7 and DMA, was found to be greatly increased in patients with psoriasis. These two antigens and those previously found to be associated with the disease, B13, BW16 and BW17, frequently occurred together. The disease may be primarily associated with HLA DMA, or with the HLA haplotypes CT7-B13/W16/W17-DMA.

    Notes: Kelp gulls at Península Valdés, Argentina, have recently developed the habit of feeding on pieces of skin and blubber that they gouge from the backs of southern right whales. In response, the whales flinch violently, submerge, and swim rapidly away underwater. The level of harassment in 1995 was almost five times higher than when first studied in 1984 by Thomas (1988). In 1995, 67% of attacks were aimed at large white lesions on the whales' backs. The proportion of whales with lesions increased from 0.01 in 1974 to 0.32 in 1990. Mother-calf pairs that were attacked traveled at medium and fast speeds for 3.1 h per day, compared to 0.8 h for undisturbed pairs. Mother-calf pairs are estimated to spend approximately 24% of their daylight hours in states of gullinduced disturbance. Little food is available at Península Valdés, so mothers must rely on blubber reserves to support their calves' growth, behavioral development, and migration to the feeding grounds. Even when undisturbed by gulls, mothers often curtail their calves' play and nursing bouts, suggesting that their energy reserves are limited. Increasingly intense harassment by gulls may therefore compromise calf development and might even induce right whales to abandon Península Valdés for other calving grounds.

    Notes: There have been several studies of the relationships between environmental factors, particularly air pollution, and attacks of asthma. Most of these studies have ignored the potential confounding effects of aeroallergens such as pollens and fungal spores. We report a statistical analysis of the relationships between emergency admissions for asthma to a hospital in Mexico City and daily average airborne concentrations of pollen, fungal spores, air pollutants (O3, NO3, SO3. and particulates) and weather factors. Asthma admissions had a seasonal pattern with more during the wet season (May-October) than the dry season (November-April). There were few statistical associations between asthma admissions and air pollutants for the three age groups studied (children under 15 years, adults, and seniors [adults over 59 years]) in either season. Grass pollen was associated with child and adult admissions for both the wet and dry seasons, and fungal spores were associated with child admissions during both the wet and dry seasons. The analysis was done with environmental data averaged over the day of admission and the 2 previous days. Our results suggest that aeroallergens may be statistically associated more strongly with asthma hospital admissions than air pollutants and may act as confounding factors in epidemiologic studies.

    Notes: To assess large-whale stocks following the cessation of land-based South Georgia whaling in 1965, we report three independent sighting databases: a cruise in 1997, observations from Bird Island (NW of South Georgia) between 1979 and 1998, and mariner sightings between 1992 and 1997. All species were rare, with sightings of southern right whales being the most common event. Two right whales photographed off South Georgia matched animals known from Peninsula Valdés, Argentina, a population known to be growing at 7%per annum. In contrast, blue and fin whales appeared to be less abundant. A single blue whale mother-calf pair was observed off the Shag Rocks in February 1997. Extirpation of animals from this particular feeding ground is the most likely reason for ongoing low numbers of all species. Other factors may include competition for krill by traditional predators such as penguins and seals and more recently by humans, an unusually high rate of natural mortality, habitat change such as alteration in sea ice coverage, and/or the impact of ongoing whaling. The history of this critical area of large-whale habitat and this report demonstrate the need for improved, consistent longterm monitoring of population trends for these depleted stocks.

    Notes: Electrophoretic variation of Atlantic salmon NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase in liver extracts of material from Ireland is interpreted in terms of two loci, IDH-A and IDH-B, coding for cytoplasmically-located isozymes. The IDH-A locus is polymorphic with qIDH-A1=0.18 and qIDH-A2=0.82. This polymorphism is of potential value for investigating the population genetics of the two races of Atlantic salmon in Ireland. An additional, monomorphic band which appears in heart extracts may be a mitochondrial enzyme coded by a third locus.

    Notes: The enzymatic solubilization of an insoluble alfalfa protein fraction was studied in a batch reactor and in a continuous flow semi-batch membrane reactor. The “white” cytoplasmic protein fraction obtained by heat precipitation was solubilized using the proteolytic enzyme trypsin. Batch studies were carried out at pH 7.7 with a trypsin to substrate ratio of 2 x 10m-3 (by weight). At 27, 37 and 47°C the hydrolysis reaction was found to be first-order in substrate concentration. The activation energy was 23.25 kcal. At 47°C the conversion level was 97% after 4 hr. For the membrane reactor system, the effects of the variables pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and trypsin to substrate ratio were evaluated with the aid of factorial design methods. The optimum operating conditions for the membrane reactor studies were 47°C at pH 7.7 with a trypsin to substrate ratio of 4 x 10-3 at a 0.5% solids concentration level. The hydrolysis process was enhanced if the reactor was operated in a washout mode prior to the addition of enzyme suggesting that soluble low molecular weight inhibitors were washed out of the reactor with the permeate. 55% of the total amount of insoluble starting material appeared as products in the permeate after 4 hr of operation under the conditions stated above.

    Notes: Abstract In contrast to insect species, light-activated influx of divalent ions into Limulus ventral photoreceptors has proven difficult to demonstrate. We used the quench of the fluorescent indicator dye, fura-2, to measure Mn2+ influx. Limulus ventral photoreceptors were injected with fura-2 and excited at 360 nm. When the photoreceptors were bathed in 1 mmol · l−1 Mn2+, an approximately 1% per 10 s decline in the fura-2 fluorescence during intervals between 50-ms flashes was taken as a measure of Mn2+ entry in darkness. Fluorescence decline during 10-s flashes was used to monitor Mn2+ entry during the photoresponse. During the 10-s flashes we observed a small rapid decline of the fura-2 fluorescence even in the absence of Mn2+. This reflected a contamination of the fluorescence signal arising from light-induced release of intracellular calcium stores. A subsequent slower decline in fluorescence during the 10-s flash, amounting to approximately 9% per 10 s, was only observed in the presence of extracellular Mn2+ and was attributed to Mn2+ influx. This light-activated influx was not through voltage-gated calcium channels since it persisted under voltage clamp, was not stimulated by depolarizing current injections, nor blocked by NiCl2. Depletion of internal calcium stores by cyclopiazonic acid treatment did not accelerate Mn2+ influx.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une Theilerie a pu être transmise à un jeune bovin par des nymphes d'Amblyomma cohaerens recueillies chez des buffles (Syncerus caffer) de la région de Mara au Kenya. Des macroschizontes ont été isolés dans les ganglions 12 jours après les piqûres de tiques et, par la suite, on les retrouve, mais en petit nombre, pendant trois jours. Les Macroschizontes, volumineux et renfermant de nombreux noyaux, diffèrent des autres schizontes de Theileries décrits antérieurement chez des bovins d'Afrique du Sud et d'Afrique de l'Est. Ils ressemblent aux macroschizontes deT. barnetti Brocklesby, 1965 du Buffle provenant également de la région de Mara. Des Piroplasmes qu'il est impossible de différencier deT. mutans one été trouvés dans le sang du bouvillon 61 jours après la piqûre des tiques. En utilisant un test d'immunofluorescence indirecte avec un antigène à base deT. mutans (Aitong) seule, on observe une montée significative du taux d'anticorps. Le parasite ne semble pas pathogène et peut être transmis par injection de sang périphérique à un veau préalablement splénectomisé. Bien que le parasite ait des affinités certaines à l'égard deT. barnetti et deT. mutans (Aitong) son identité exacte ne peut être précisée et d'autres essais de transmission expérimentale s'avèrent.
    Abstract: Resumen Se colectaron larvas repletas, de Amblyomma cohaerens, del búfalo Africano (Syncerus caffer) en la región de Mara en Kenya. Estas como ninfas, al ser puestas en contacto con un novillo le transmitieron un parásito teilerial. Se detectaron macroesquizontes en los ganglios linfáticos regionales del animal, 12 días después del contacto con las garrapatas por tres días consecutivos con niveles bajos de parasitosis. Los macroesquizontes observados fueron de gran tamaño con numerosos núcleos, siendo morfológicamente distintos a cualquier otro esquizonte teilerial de los descritos en el Este y Oeste del continente Africano. Sin embargo, estos guardan cierto parecido con los macroesquizontes de T. barnetti, Brocklesby 1965, encontrados también en bufalo en la región de Mara, Kenya. Se detectaron piroplasmas morfológicamente indistinguibles de los de T. mutans en la sangre del novillo experimental, el día 61 después del contacto con las garrapatas. El novillo tuvo un aumento significativo en el título de anticuerpos solamente al antígeno piroplàsmico de T. mutans (Aitong), utilizando la prueba indirecta de anticuerpos fluorescentes. No hubo evidencia de la patogenicidad del parásito. La forma intraeritrocitica del parásito se pudo transmitir por pasaje directo de sangre bovina a un ternero esplenectomizado. A pesar de que el parásito mostró afinidad con T. barnetti y T. mutans (Aitong), conclusiones definitivas relacionadas con la identidad del parásito están sujetas a experimentaciones futuras.
    Notes: Summary Amblyomma cohaerens nymphs, which had been collected as engorged larvae from African buffalo(Syncerus caffer) in the Mara region of Kenya, transmitted a theilerial parasite to a steer. Macroschizonts were detected in the regional lymph node of this steer 12 days after tick application and were subsequently detected for 3 days at low levels of parasitosis. The macroschizonts were large and had numerous nuclei, being morphologically unlike any other theilerial schizonts described previously from cattle in Eastern and Southern Africa, but they resembled the macroschizont ofT. barnetti Brocklesby 1965 from a buffalo also obtained in the Mara region. Piroplasms morphologically indistinguishable fromT. mutans were first detected in the blood of the steer on the sixty-first day after tick application. The steer showed a significant rise in antibody titre to onlyT. mutans (Aitong) piroplasm antigen, using the indirect fluorescent antibody test. There was no evidence that this parasite was pathogenic. The intraerythrocytic piroplasms proved to be blood-transmissible to a splenectomised calf. Although the parasite showed affinities toT. barnetti andT. mutans (Aitong) definite conclusions regarding its identity must await further transmission experiments.
