The 1B vaccine strain of Chlamydia abortus produces placental pathology indistinguishable from a wild type infection by Caspe, Sergio Gaston, Livingstone, Morag, Frew, David, Aitchison, Kevin, Wattegedera, Sean Ranjan, Entrican, Gary, Palarea-Albaladejo, Javier, McNeilly, Tom Nathan, Milne, Elspeth, Sargison, Neil Donald, Chianini, Francesca, Longbottom, David

“…Chlamydia abortus is one of the most commonly diagnosed causes of infectious abortion in small ruminants worldwide. Control of the disease (Enzootic Abortion of Ewes or EAE) is achieved using the commercial live, attenuated C. abortus 1B vaccine strain, which can be distinguished from virulent wild-type (wt) strains by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. …”

Herd prevalence of bovine brucellosis and analysis of risk factors in cattle in urban and peri-urban areas of the Kampala economic zone, Uganda by Makita, K., Fèvre, Eric M., Waiswa, C., Eisler, M.C., Thrusfield, M.V., Welburn, S.C.

“…A risk factor could not be identified at the animal level but two risk factors were identified at the herd level: large herd size and history of abortion. The mean number of milking cows in a free-grazing herd (5.0) was significantly larger than a herd with a movement restricted (1.7, p<0.001). …”

Estudio de la longevidad del polen de maíz (Zea mays L.) en el proceso de selección. by Carrillo Castañeda, G, Mendoza Arizmendi, J.L.

“…Comparing the values of half life of pollen, estimating the viability by the ability of pollen to font the pollentube under experimental conditions that allows to obtain up to 93 per cent viability, it was found that the highest half-life frequency observed was 285 minutes either in pollen from corn plants developed out of seeds from the 5th cycle of a mass selection process for drought resistance and in the original Zacatecas 58 cultivar The highest frequencies of abortion rates observed in the pollen samples were 2 and 3 for that of the original cultivar Zacatecas 58 and drought resistant selected plants.…”
