Virus diseases caused by the ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE.
A photoprotein isolated from the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea. It emits visible light by an intramolecular reaction when a trace amount of calcium ion is added. The light-emitting moiety in the bioluminescence reaction is believed to be 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazine (AF-350).
A subtype of INFLUENZA A VIRUS comprised of the surface proteins hemagglutinin 5 and neuraminidase 1. The H5N1 subtype, frequently referred to as the bird flu virus, is endemic in wild birds and very contagious among both domestic (POULTRY) and wild birds. It does not usually infect humans, but some cases have been reported.

Neuroregulation by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) of mucus secretion in ferret trachea: activation of BK(Ca) channels and inhibition of neurotransmitter release. (1/1624)

1. The aims of this study were to determine: (1) whether vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) regulates cholinergic and 'sensory-efferent' (tachykininergic) 35SO4 labelled mucus output in ferret trachea in vitro, using a VIP antibody, (2) the class of potassium (K+) channel involved in VIP-regulation of cholinergic neural secretion using glibenclamide (an ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel inhibitor), iberiotoxin (a large conductance calcium activated K+ (BK(ca)) channel blocker), and apamin (a small conductance K(ca) (SK(ca)) channel blocker), and (3) the effect of VIP on cholinergic neurotransmission using [3H]-choline overflow as a marker for acetylcholine (ACh) release. 2. Exogenous VIP (1 and 10 microM) alone increased 35SO4 output by up to 53% above baseline, but suppressed (by up to 80% at 1 microM) cholinergic and tachykininergic neural secretion without altering secretion induced by ACh or substance P (1 microM each). Endogenous VIP accounted for the minor increase in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC), non-tachykininergic neural secretion, which was compatible with the secretory response of exogenous VIP. 3. Iberiotoxin (3 microM), but not apamin (1 microM) or glibenclamide (0.1 microM), reversed the inhibition by VIP (10 nM) of cholinergic neural secretion. 4. Both endogenous VIP (by use of the VIP antibody; 1:500 dilution) and exogenous VIP (0.1 microM), the latter by 34%, inhibited ACh release from cholinergic nerve terminals and this suppression was completely reversed by iberiotoxin (0.1 microM). 5. We conclude that, in ferret trachea in vitro, endogenous VIP has dual activity whereby its small direct stimulatory action on mucus secretion is secondary to its marked regulation of cholinergic and tachykininergic neurogenic mucus secretion. Regulation is via inhibition of neurotransmitter release, consequent upon opening of BK(Ca) channels. In the context of neurogenic mucus secretion, we propose that VIP joins NO as a neurotransmitter of i-NANC nerves in ferret trachea.  (+info)

Differential effects of apamin- and charybdotoxin-sensitive K+ conductances on spontaneous discharge patterns of developing retinal ganglion cells. (2/1624)

The spontaneous discharge patterns of developing retinal ganglion cells are thought to play a crucial role in the refinement of early retinofugal projections. To investigate the contributions of intrinsic membrane properties to the spontaneous activity of developing ganglion cells, we assessed the effects of blocking large and small calcium-activated potassium conductances on the temporal pattern of such discharges by means of patch-clamp recordings from the intact retina of developing ferrets. Application of apamin and charybdotoxin (CTX), which selectively block the small and large calcium-activated potassium channels, respectively, resulted in significant changes in spontaneous firings. In cells recorded from the oldest animals [postnatal day 30 (P30)-P45], which manifested relatively sustained discharge patterns, application of either blocker induced bursting activity. With CTX the bursts were highly periodic, short in duration, and of high frequency. In contrast, with apamin the interburst intervals were longer, less regular, and lower in overall spike frequency. These differences between the effects of the two blockers on spontaneous activity were documented by spectral analysis of discharge patterns. Filling cells from which recordings were made with Lucifer yellow revealed that these effects were obtained in all three morphological classes of cells: alpha, beta, and gamma. These findings provide the first evidence that apamin- and CTX-sensitive K+ conductances can have differential effects on the spontaneous discharge patterns of retinal ganglion cells. Remarkably, the bursts of activity obtained after apamin application in more mature neurons appeared very similar to the spontaneous bursting patterns observed in developing neurons. These findings suggest that the maturation of calcium-activated potassium channels, particularly the apamin-sensitive conductance, may contribute to the changes in spontaneous firings exhibited by retinal ganglion cells during the course of normal development.  (+info)

Distinct transient outward potassium current (Ito) phenotypes and distribution of fast-inactivating potassium channel alpha subunits in ferret left ventricular myocytes. (3/1624)

The biophysical characteristics and alpha subunits underlying calcium-independent transient outward potassium current (Ito) phenotypes expressed in ferret left ventricular epicardial (LV epi) and endocardial (LV endo) myocytes were analyzed using patch clamp, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and immunofluorescent (IF) techniques. Two distinct Ito phenotypes were measured (21-22 degrees C) in the majority of LV epi and LV endo myocytes studied. The two Ito phenotypes displayed marked differences in peak current densities, activation thresholds, inactivation characteristics, and recovery kinetics. Ito,epi recovered rapidly [taurec, -70 mV = 51 +/- 3 ms] with minimal cumulative inactivation, while Ito,endo recovered slowly [taurec, -70 mV = 3,002 +/- 447 ms] with marked cumulative inactivation. Heteropoda toxin 2 (150 nM) blocked Ito,epi in a voltage-dependent manner, but had no effect on Ito,endo. Parallel FISH and IF measurements conducted on isolated LV epi and LV endo myocytes demonstrated that Kv1.4, Kv4.2, and Kv4.3 alpha subunit expression in LV myocyte types was quite heterogenous: (a) Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 were more predominantly expressed in LV epi than LV endo myocytes, and (b) Kv1.4 was expressed in the majority of LV endo myocytes but was essentially absent in LV epi myocytes. In combination with previous measurements on recovery kinetics (Kv1.4, slow; Kv4.2/4.3, relatively rapid) and Heteropoda toxin block (Kv1.4, insensitive; Kv4.2, sensitive), our results strongly support the hypothesis that, in ferret heart, Kv4.2/Kv4.3 and Kv1.4 alpha subunits, respectively, are the molecular substrates underlying the Ito,epi and Ito,endo phenotypes. FISH and IF measurements were also conducted on ferret ventricular tissue sections. The three Ito alpha subunits again showed distinct patterns of distribution: (a) Kv1.4 was localized primarily to the apical portion of the LV septum, LV endocardium, and approximate inner 75% of the LV free wall; (b) Kv4. 2 was localized primarily to the right ventricular free wall, epicardial layers of the LV, and base of the heart; and (c) Kv4.3 was localized primarily to epicardial layers of the LV apex and diffusely distributed in the LV free wall and septum. Therefore, in intact ventricular tissue, a heterogeneous distribution of candidate Ito alpha subunits not only exists from LV epicardium to endocardium but also from apex to base.  (+info)

Recombinant influenza A virus vaccines for the pathogenic human A/Hong Kong/97 (H5N1) viruses. (4/1624)

Recombinant reassortment technology was used to prepare H5N1 influenza vaccine strains containing a modified hemagglutinin (HA) gene and neuraminidase gene from the A/Hong Kong/156/97 and A/Hong Kong/483/97 isolates and the internal genes from the attenuated cold-adapted A/Ann Arbor/6/60 influenza virus strain. The HA cleavage site (HA1/HA2) of each H5N1 isolate was modified to resemble that of "low-pathogenic" avian strains. Five of 6 basic amino acids at the cleavage site were deleted, and a threonine was added upstream of the remaining arginine. The H5 HA cleavage site modification resulted in the expected trypsin-dependent phenotype without altering the antigenic character of the H5 HA molecule. The temperature-sensitive and cold-adapted phenotype of the attenuated parent virus was maintained in the recombinant strains, and they grew to 108.5-9.4 EID50/mL in eggs. Both H5N1 vaccine virus strains were safe and immunogenic in ferrets and protected chickens against wild-type H5N1 virus challenge.  (+info)

Coronary microvascular protection with mg2+: effects on intracellular calcium regulation and vascular function. (5/1624)

The use of Mg2+-supplemented hyperkalemic cardioplegia preserves microvascular function. However, the mechanism of this beneficial action remains to be elucidated. We investigated the effects of Mg2+ supplementation on the regulation of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and vascular function using an in vitro microvascular model. Ferret coronary arterioles (80-150 micrometer in diameter) were studied in a pressurized (40 mmHg) no-flow, normothermic (37 degrees C) state. Simultaneous monitoring of internal luminal diameter and [Ca2+]i using fura 2 were made with microscopic image analysis. The microvessels (n = 6 each group) were divided into four groups according to the content of MgCl2 (nominally 0, 1.2, 5.0, and 25.0 mM) in a hyperkalemic cardioplegic solution ([K+] 25.0 mM). After baseline measurements, vessels were subjected to 60 min of hypoxia with hyperkalemic cardioplegia (equilibrated with 95% N2-5% CO2) containing each concentration of Mg2+ ([Mg2+]) and were then reoxygenated. During hyperkalemic cardioplegia, [Ca2+]i increased in a time-dependent manner in all groups. In the lower [Mg2+] cardioplegia groups, [Ca2+]i was significantly increased at the end of the 60-min cardioplegic period (247 +/- 44 nM and 236 +/- 49 nM in [Mg2+] 0 and 1.2 mM groups, respectively; both P < 0.05 vs. baseline) with 19.6-17.2% vascular contraction. Conversely, there was no significant [Ca2+]i increase in the higher [Mg2+] cardioplegia groups and less vascular contraction (5.4-4.1%, both P < 0.05 vs. [Mg2+] 1.2 mM group). After reperfusion, agonist (U-46619, thromboxane A2 analog)-induced vascular contraction was significantly enhanced in the lower [Mg2+] cardioplegia groups (both P < 0.05 vs. control) but was normalized in the higher [Mg2+] cardioplegia groups. Intrinsic myogenic contraction was significantly decreased in the lower [Mg2+] cardioplegia groups (both P < 0.05 vs. control) but was preserved in the higher [Mg2+] cardioplegia groups. These results suggest that supplementation of the solution with >5.0 mM [Mg2+] may prevent hyperkalemic cardioplegia-related intracellular Ca2+ overloading and preserve vascular contractile function in coronary microvessels.  (+info)

Development and organization of ocular dominance bands in primary visual cortex of the sable ferret. (6/1624)

Thalamocortical afferents in the visual cortex of the adult sable ferret are segregated into eye-specific ocular dominance bands. The development of ocular dominance bands was studied by transneuronal labeling of the visual cortices of ferret kits between the ages of postnatal day 28 (P28) and P81 after intravitreous injections of either tritiated proline or wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase. Laminar specificity was evident in the youngest animals studied and was similar to that in the adult by P50. In P28 and P30 ferret kits, no modulation reminiscent of ocular dominance bands was detectable in the pattern of labeling along layer IV. By P37 a slight fluctuation in the density of labeling in layer IV was evident in serial reconstructions. By P50, the amplitude of modulation had increased considerably but the pattern of ocular dominance bands did not yet appear mature. The pattern and degree of modulation of the ocular dominance bands resembled that in adult animals by P63. Flat mounts of cortex and serial reconstructions of layer IV revealed an unusual arrangement of inputs serving the two eyes in the region rostral to the periodic ocular dominance bands. In this region, inputs serving the contralateral eye were commonly fused along a mediolateral axis, rostral to which were large and sometimes fused patches of ipsilateral input.  (+info)

Interference with the development of early generated neocortex results in disruption of radial glia and abnormal formation of neocortical layers. (7/1624)

Early generated layers of neocortex are important factors in forming the subsequent architecture of the cerebral cortex. To further explore the role of early generated cortex, we disrupted formation of an early generated cohort of cells by intraperitoneal injections of the mitotic inhibitor methylazoxymethanol (MAM) into pregnant ferrets timed to coincide with generation of subplate neurons in the ventricular zone. Our studies demonstrate that if early development of the neocortex is interrupted by injection of MAM during embryogenesis (on embryonic day 24 or 28; E24 or E28), a distinct laminar pattern fails to form properly in the parietal cortex. A reduced number of MAP2-positive cells were observed in the region of the subplate when compared with the number of MAP2-positive cells found in normal animals. Interference with the superficial neocortical layers that form later during development (on embryonic day 33) by appropriately timed MAM injections does not result in a severely disrupted laminar pattern. The interrupted laminar pattern that arises after early MAM injections coincides with distorted radial glial cells (identified by immunoreactivity to the intermediate filament protein, vimentin), which occur after early, but not late, MAM injections. Further analysis suggests that interference with early development of neocortex leads to premature differentiation of radial glial cells into astrocytes, as demonstrated by the presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Experiments involving injections of the thymidine analog, bromodeoxyuridine (BRDU), demonstrated that 4 days after E24 MAM injection cells are generated and migrate into the thin cortical plate. By E38, however, cells continue to be generated in animals treated with MAM on E24 but do not reach their normal positions in the cortical plate. In addition, immunoreactivity using the CR50 antibody, which identifies presumptive Cajal-Retzius cells present in layer 1, demonstrates that the CR50-positive cells, normally precisely located in the outer portion of layer 1, are distributed in disarray throughout the thickness of the neocortex and intermediate zone in early MAM-treated animals, but not in those treated with MAM injections later during gestation. These findings are consistent with the idea that early generated layers are important in providing factors that maintain the environment necessary for subsequent neuronal migration and formation of neocortical layers.  (+info)

The vomeronasal organ of the male ferret. (8/1624)

The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is known to play a major role in sexual behavior in many mammals. This study is the first report that the adult male ferret has a VNO, which is considerably smaller and morphologically different from the usually crescent-shaped epithelium in several mammalian species, particularly rodents. There were no differences in the size or structure of the ferret VNO between the mating season in spring and the sexually quiescent season in autumn, although plasma testosterone, testis size and brain size are dramatically increased in spring and behavior changes significantly. The histological data suggest that the VNO might be not as important a structure in male ferret sexual behavior as in rodents.  (+info)

More importantly, this new model utilizes nonadapted wild-type Ebolaviruses. Here, in a proof-of-concept study, we infected ferrets with different variants of the closely related Marburg and Ravn viruses using different doses and routes of exposure. Although ferrets produced a neutralizing humoral response to challenge, we did not observe disease or viremia in any animal. The lack of disease in ferrets underscores the notion that differential mechanisms to immunity among filoviruses exist and may provide a model to better understand how differences contribute to disease..

Ferrets are susceptible to many viruses that can cause infections in the respiratory system. The human influenza virus is the most common virus involved in ferret respiratory infections.. Ferrets are quite susceptible to most human influenza viruses, including the seasonal type A, the new 2009 H1N1 flu (swine) and the avian flu. Because ferrets can get the human flu and their lungs are similar to humans, ferrets are frequently used in human flu research. Ferrets can get the flu from people who have the flu or from other ferrets that have the flu. In a very recent case, a pet ferret in the Portland, Oregon, area got the swine flu from its owner. Thus, it is very important to avoid playing with or handling your ferret if you have the flu.. Most seasonal type A flu cases are mild in adult ferrets, but type A flu may cause more serious illness in young or old ferrets. H1N1 (swine) flu and avian flu can cause mild to fatal disease in ferrets regardless of age.. Ferrets with the flu usually have a ...

Why not Carrots For ferrets?. For one, they are very little nutritional value to ferrets, and two ferrets can not digest them properly, because there lack the organs to do so. Peas, carrots - any vegetable or fruit for that matter - has ZERO nutritional value for ferrets.. Even just as treats, do not feed them to your ferret, because they can not digest it. So no, dont feed your ferret lettuce, vegetables or carrots, they probably wont eat it, even if you tried to feed it to them. Both can be toxic to ferrets, like dogs and cats.. Too be on the safe dont give your ferret anything if it is not specified for ferrets. Currently, I feed my ferret mix Totally Ferret Baby, Totally Ferret Turkey, Lamb, and Vension. What should Ferrets Eat?. In nature, ferrets eat insects, worms, and probably whatever has been left behind by other omnivores.. Yes, ferrets on a natural diet usually eat mice and chicken. If you cook chicken, bones can be brought to the ferrets to eat. Some people feed a whole chicken ...
SELIGMAN, Ariz. - The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking volunteers to assist with spot-lighting efforts to help document the population of endangered black-footed ferrets in Aubrey Valley and on the Double O Ranch near Seligman. As part of the recovery effort, the department has scheduled two spring spotlighting projects - March 9-12 and April 6-9. The spotlighting method involves using high-powered lights to locate and identify black-footed ferrets. Volunteers must have the ability to stay attentive from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. while spotlighting for black-footed ferrets and use, or learn how to use, a Global Positioning System (GPS). Volunteers can sign up by e-mailing [email protected] - with spring spotlighting in the subject line, by March 3 for next months project and by March 30 for the later opportunity. Volunteers are reminded to include their full name, a contact phone number, month(s) and night(s) available to spotlight and full names of others who also will be attending. ...
The ferret personality Ferrets are very social animals and need several hours of human interaction per day. They also benefit when part of a multiple ferret household and have other ferrets to mingle with. Ferrets can get along with other pets, such as cats or dogs, when raised alongside them; however, their patience with other pets is usually very short, so a bothersome pet may irritate a ferret. When not given enough attention, a pet ferret can get depressed, so be sure that you have enough time to dedicate to a ferret before purchasing one. Aside from enjoying attention, ferrets can be very sneaky and devious. They love to slide along walls and creep around, getting into things or sneaking under furniture. Often, pet owners lose ferrets when they scurry out front doors that were mistakenly left open, or ferrets get out of their enclosures in similar ways. Be sure to never stand with a door open while a ferret is loose in your house. How is a ferret groomed? Bathing a ferret is similar to ...
Ferrets are very dependent upon their human companions for survival. Because ferrets require continuous care and supervision, potential owners should evaluate their ability to commit. The commitment is long term since the lifespan of ferrets is six to 10 years.. Ferrets may not be the best pet for families with small children. Although ferrets are very social animals, they may bite or nip if mishandled. Never leave a ferret and a small child alone together. Ferrets generally get along with dogs and cats if they are introduced carefully, but they should not interact with birds, rodents, or small reptiles.. When selecting a ferret from a shelter, a pet store or a breeder, choose one that is bright-eyed and alert. The presence of crusty eyes or nasal discharge that is full of mucus indicate illness. If you handle a sick ferret, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly so as not to infect yourself or the next batch of animals.. Whether you select a male ferret, known as a hob, or a female, known as a ...
Ferret safe vegetables include mushrooms, potatoes, beans, squash, cauliflower, peppers (seeds removed), carrots, tomato salsa, and broccoli.. NOTE: Use ferret pellets, which can be purchased in pet shops to ensure you meet your ferrets nutritional needs. However, from time to time to give your ferret assorted bird seed, rolled oats, sunflower seeds (some ferrets love them …) and ready-to-eat corn and peas from the freezer, as a treat.. High Vitamin C Food for ferrets. Ferrets can not make their own vitamin C. If your ferret belonged to a previous owner, it probably lacks vitamin C, because it probably has not received vegetables, or received pellets ferrets that do not have extra vitamin c. Give the ferrets 1/8 green pepper every day, along with other vegetables to make sure it gets enough vitamin C. This prevents scurvy in ferrets.. How often can Ferrets eat vegetables?. Ferrets can eat cooked carrots and other soft vegetables, but only a little. My ferret eats a carrot, but not all the ...
The Natural Areas Department hopes to reintroduce the black-footed ferret in September or October to Soapstone Prairie, which spans 22,000 acres 20 miles north of Fort Collins and has been managed by the city since 2005. Soapstone Prairie and Meadow Springs Ranch, which is 26,000 acres, together support 3,600 acres of black-tailed prairie dogs. Black-footed ferrets are native to the shortgrass prairie but became endangered through habitat conversion, poisoning and the sylvatic plague, which affects both the ferret and prairie dogs, Figgs said.. The Natural Areas Department manages the prairie dog populations on both sites, controlling sylvatic plaque that, on rare occasions, can be transmitted to humans through fleas, Figgs said. The plague is present at times, then its not, he said. Large die-off events will occur from time to time and reduce the number of prairie dog colonies.. One incident in 2007 to 2008 reduced the colonies from 4,000 acres to 200 to 500 acres, Figgs said. ...

Contact: WildEarth Guardians DENVER - Based on a decision made public late last week, Colorados endangered black-footed ferrets will be protected from oil and gas drilling - for now. The Bureau of Land Managements (BLM) own internal review board, the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA), overturned the BLMs May 2006 sale of oil and gas drilling leases in an area where endangered black-footed ferrets have been reintroduced in Colorado.. Despite the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) urging that ferret habitat be excluded from the lease sale, the BLM went ahead and sold drilling leases to the highest bidder. The ferrets, considered North Americas most endangered species, were reintroduced to Colorado in 2001 and an active program to recover populations to self-sustaining levels is underway.. The IBLA found that the BLM broke the law by selling the leases without any record evidence that it ever responded to or even considered FWSs views. The board found the action illegal because an ...
Ferrets are great fun and hugely rewarding, but owning one can also be costly and time-consuming. Are you ready to take on the responsibility? Check out this list of things you need to know before getting a ferret.. 1. A ferret is for life. Owning a ferret is a lifetime commitment. Ferret develop deep bonds with you and your family. Any change in ownership can be extremely traumatic, so you should be prepared for the responsibility involved in ferret ownership. Ferret owners need to be able to provide shelter, food, water, medical care, and love and attention.. 2. Owning a ferret can be expensive. Before owning a ferret you need to considerable financial commitment. Whether you get one or two ferrets, you will need a cage, bedding, bowls, and toys. The average care for one ferret, which includes supplies, food, and basic vet care it cost you around $700 - $1000 per year.. 3. Buy your ferret accessories in advance. Before you take your new ferret home, make sure you have all the basic supplies. ...
The black-footed ferret is solitary, except when breeding or raising litters.[8][9] It is nocturnal[8][19] and primarily hunts for sleeping prairie dogs in their burrows.[20] It is most active above ground from dusk to midnight and 4 am to mid-morning.[11] Aboveground activity is greatest during late summer and early autumn when juveniles become independent.[11] Climate generally does not limit black-footed ferret activity,[9][11] but it may remain inactive inside burrows for up to 6 days at a time during winter.[21]. Female black-footed ferrets have smaller home ranges than males. Home ranges of males may sometimes include the home ranges of several females.[9] Adult females usually occupy the same territory every year. A female that was tracked from December to March occupied 39.5 acres (16 ha). Her territory was overlapped by a resident male that occupied 337.5 acres (137 ha) during the same period. The average density of black-footed ferrets near Meeteetse, Wyoming, is estimated at one ...

In common with most domestic animals, the original reason for ferrets being domesticated by human beings is uncertain, but it may have involved hunting. According to phylogenetic studies, the ferret was domesticated from the European polecat (Mustela putorius), and likely descends from a North African lineage of the species.[25] Analysis of mitochondrial DNA suggests that ferrets were domesticated around 2,500 years ago. It has been claimed that the ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate ferrets, but as no mummified remains of a ferret have yet been found, nor any hieroglyph of a ferret, and no polecat now occurs wild in the area, that idea seems unlikely.[26]. Ferrets were probably used by the Romans for hunting.[27][28]. Colonies of feral ferrets have established themselves in areas where there is no competition from similarly sized predators, such as in the Shetland Islands and in remote regions in New Zealand. Where ferrets coexist with polecats, hybridization is common. It has been ...

Did you know early in your work that you were going to write about them, or did the desire to write about them develop the longer you worked with them?. Lenhart: In 2011, I moved to Tucson to study writing. At the time, I was working towards a novel and had little interest in creative nonfiction or black-footed ferrets. My partner at the time, though, had three domestic ferrets of the charismatic pet-store variety. For a few months, it seemed that I couldnt write a sentence without being distracted by ferret thoughts. After one of our ferrets died of pancreatic failure, my partner moved to Nevada for an internship in biological conservation. I was left to care for the ferrets. Feed them. Shampoo them. Block them from crawling up the fireplace. Mist their faces when the swamp cooler didnt cool. Make sure the appropriate holiday-themed hammock was clipped to ...
The common name ferret includes any of a group of animals in the Weasel family, including the Black Footed Ferret of North America, and the European Polecat. (Domestic ferrets are thought to be descendants of the Polecat.). Ferrets are carnivorous, and ferocious hunters. As such, they definitely speak to the Warrior within us - and they have lessons to offer both for when our Warrior energy needs some encouragement, and for times when it might be coming on a bit too strong.. In English, to ferret something out means to track down something hidden and bring it to light. A ferrets long, low body allows it to go down into the burrows of its prey (such as rabbits or prairie dogs), where it often takes its sleeping prey by surprise. Ferret can help you uncover hidden blocks and energies in your own psyche - sometimes ones that have been buried for a long time. It takes courage to work with Ferret energy, though, because it will ask you to hold yourself to your own truth.. Ferrets and weasels ...

Ferrets are playful and intelligent. This combination means that without something to keep them occupied, your ferret is going to be bored. And a bored ferret is unhappy and could get destructive.. You should purchase different but exciting toys for your ferret. They enjoy toys such as tubes and tunnels. To challenge him, get a maze toy. You can always unleash a new difficulty level once he figures it out.. Well, having toys does not mean that you should not play with your ferret. It is a way to keep your ferret happy when he is alone in the cage. You can also get other toys to play with outside his cage. Engage in stimulating games with your ferret for a few hours each day.. These games should provide mental and physical stimulation with your ferret needs. For instance, you can get a tug toy. Let him bite on one end and hold the other end. He will want to take it from you and so he will pull.. Alternatively, you can let him chase you around in a ferret-proofed area of the house. It will make ...
With female ferrets subjected to different degrees of intensity of light irradiation as measured by placing them at different distances from a 1000 W. lamp, the acceleration of the oestrous cycle, generally speaking, was correlated with the degree of intensity. There were, however, individual exceptions. The distances between the ferrets and the lamp varied from 1 to 22 ft.. Female ferrets subjected to ultra-violet irradiation usually remained on heat until much later in the year than those submitted to light irradiation. With male ferrets ultra-violet irradiation caused descent of the testes in December and the testes remained descended until the autumn.. Irradiated female ferrets (both with light and ultra-violet rays) went off heat shortly after being put with males and probably as a result of copulation (which, however, was not always observed), but pregnancy did not supervene. This may have been due to the animals not being in a state for ovulation.. Feeding vitamin D to anoestrous ferrets ...
Author: Benischek Rita L, Year: 2009, Abstract: Three illnesses appear commonly in pet ferrets: cardiomyopathies, insulinoma, and adrenal associated endocrinopathy. Treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy include ACE inhibitors, and furosemide is recommended for the treatment for long-term diuresis treatment of congestive heart failure. Insulinoma, cancer of the pancreas, is the most common neoplasm of the American ferret, oftentimes treated by surgically excising the cancerous lobes, optionally can be treated with steroids that suppress insulin

Ferrets are not susceptible to the viruses that commonly produce upper respiratory disease in domestic cats (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus), nor are they susceptible to canine hepatitis. There is also no definitive evidence that ferrets are susceptible to canine parvovirus or feline leukemia virus; therefore, vaccination against these diseases is probably unnecessary.. The most commonly seen viral disease in ferrets include canine distemper and influenza; rabies, epizootic catarrhal enteritis and Aleutian disease are occasionally seen.. Ferrets are susceptible to infection with several strains of human influenza (flu) virus. Signs of this illness may mimic those of canine distemper (listlessness, fever, poor appetite, sneezing, nasal discharge, etc). In general, influenza causes only mild disease in ferrets. Unlike distemper, however, influenza usually passes within 5 days of the onset of illness and ferrets recover. Bacterial infections may complicate the viral infection. If you are suffering ...

Aplastic anemia is a condition in which the bone marrow is completely suppressed, resulting in a shutdown in production of new red blood cells. Bone marrow suppression will also result in a shutdown in production of white blood cells and platelets. The condition occurs in female ferrets that are not spayed and not bred when they are in heat. Sexually mature female ferrets that are not bred will stay in heat indefinitely. While in heat, the ferrets estrogen levels remain high. High doses of estrogen suppress bone marrow function. This condition is rarely seen now, due to early (pre-purchase) spaying of female ferrets.. Signs of aplastic anemia include lethargy and pale mucous membranes, most readily observed by looking at the gums. When the intact female ferret is examined, her vulva will usually be found to be swollen and enlarged, indicating persistent estrus or heat.. Initial treatment to stabilize the ferret includes hormonal therapy to bring the ferret out of heat, antibiotics, iron, and ...
As we continued to release the ferrets, the sun set and we were in complete darkness. Most ferret releases go quickly - but this one took time. One tricky ferret had zoomed out of his crate and would not stay in his chosen hole. He popped in and out, again and again. Then he decided to wander. Very soon the prairie would be roaming ground for coyotes, badgers and other predators of black-footed ferrets. We all cheered the ferret on so that he would stay in his hole.. I helped release the final ferret with John. She went right into her new hole and was a nice cap to our night. I was grateful for the opportunity and will remember it forever.. Favorite moments from the release? Both John and Guy treasured seeing our host family release their first ferrets and watching them make the connection as to why this event was so important. These connections are paramount for conservation to succeed.. By the end of the night, 13 of us released 16 ferrets onto the Cathcart Ranch. This was the first time ...

Ferret Care Guide General information :. The average lifetime of a ferret is form 6 to 8 years. The grown-up female weighs about 800 grams and male is about 1.2 kg. The ferrets come in various colours, but most of them are brown, gray and black. And the color is darker on the paws and tail. Maintenance at home :. Ferrets have a strong and playful character. They are very sociable and like to be in the centre of attraction. Ferrets like twilight and are the most active after sunset and before sunrise.They sleep from eighteen to twenty hours of the day and wake up twice a day to eat, relieve themselves and play.. Ferret Care Maintenance of the ferret is possible in the flat in different ways : free maintenance, semi-free maintenance and in a cage. In any case, youll need the cage, even if you want your pet rans freely everywhere in the home. Here are some 7 reasons:. 1. the ferret should have his own home, where he could sleep, rest and take refuge in case of fright .. 2. If you invite guests , ...

Ferrets ancestors were den animals, so the home you create should be like a den, too. Use a wire cage thats at least 18 inches long, 18 inches deep, and 30 inches wide. Many ferrets prefer bi-level cages that feature stairs or ramps that ferrets can climb, and shelves or hammocks where ferrets can perch. Avoid aquariums, which provide poor ventilation. Because ferrets are accomplished escape artists, the cage should feature a secure latch and openings no larger than one inch by two inches. Since wire flooring is uncomfortable to a ferrets feet, place linoleum tiles on the floor or line the cage bottom with soft material such as washable carpet. Not all materials will work, however: wood flooring is difficult to disinfect, newspaper will blacken a ferrets feet, and cedar chips hold in bad odors and may even cause respiratory problems. Place the cage away from direct sunlight, in a cool, shaded area where temperatures range between 55 and 70 degrees. Clean bedding with a mild detergent and hot ...
The current study was conducted to establish animal models (including mouse and ferret) for the novel avian-origin H7N9 influenza virus. A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) virus was administered by intranasal instillation to groups of mice and ferrets, and animals developed typical clinical signs including body weight loss (mice and ferrets), ruffled fur (mice), sneezing (ferrets), and death (mice). Peak virus shedding from respiratory tract was observed on 2 days post inoculation (d.p.i.) for mice and 3-5 d.p.i. for ferrets. Virus could also be detected in brain, liver, spleen, kidney, and intestine from inoculated mice, and in heart, liver, and olfactory bulb from inoculated ferrets. The inoculation of H7N9 could elicit seroconversion titers up to 1280 in ferrets and 160 in mice. Leukopenia, significantly reduced lymphocytes but increased neutrophils were also observed in mouse and ferret models. The mouse and ferret model enables detailed studies of the pathogenesis of this illness and lay the foundation for drug

A simple, papillary cystic adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland with metastases to the internal iliac and mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, and spleen was observed in a 12 to 13 year old female black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes). Histologically, the tumor was aggressive, and lymphatic invasion was found. Attempts at virus isolation were negative. Other findings were bilateral infarcts in the kidneys, apparently resulting in acute renal shutdown and death, multiple thrombi in the right atrium, aortic arteriosclerosis, and focal interstitial pneumonia....
A modified test of postextrasystolic potentiation achieved with a brief episode of rapid pacing followed by a 6-second pause (RPP maneuver) was used to evoke maximal force in isolated intact ferret right ventricular papillary muscles. Maximal RPP tensions were examined under length-clamped conditions and compared with the steady-state forces obtained when further increases in [Ca2+]o, did not further increase force and to the tensions recorded at the point of saturation of force when similarly length-clamped muscles were subjected to caffeine-induced tetanization. The results show that the calculated maximal twitch tension achieved with RPP is comparable to the 25-35 g/mm2 observed in intact single skeletal muscle fibers. The study also shows that the beat-to-beat decay of the potentiated contraction is exponential. While the amount of the constant fractional beat-to-beat decay is a function of [Ca2+]o, it is not influenced by length. During the decay of potentiation, the ratio of the ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Catecholaminergic horizontal and amacrine cells in the ferret retina. AU - Keyser, K. T.. AU - Karten, H. J.. AU - Katz, Barrett. AU - Bohn, M. C.. PY - 1987. Y1 - 1987. N2 - Enzymes involved in the synthesis of catecholamines were detected in amacrine and what appeared to be a specific class of horizontal cells in the ferret retina. Antisera directed against the enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), which converts tyrosine to DOPA, and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), which converts norepinephrine to epinephrine, were used with conventional immunohistochemical techniques. A population of perikarya located at the outer margin of the inner nuclear layer (INL) exhibited TH-like immunoreactivity. The cell bodies were 9-12 μm in diameter and gave rise to stout dendrites that tapered rapidly after emergence from the somata. The processes formed a planar array in the inner half of the outer plexiform layer (OPL) slightly external to the cells of origin. We could not detect ...
There is limited knowledge about the potential routes for H5N1 influenza virus transmission to and between humans, and it is not clear whether humans can be infected through inhalation of aerosolized H5N1 virus particles. Ferrets are often used as a animal model for humans in influenza pathogenicity and transmissibility studies. In this manuscript, a nose-only bioaerosol inhalation exposure system that was recently developed and validated was used in an inhalation exposure study of aerosolized A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) virus in ferrets. The clinical spectrum of influenza resulting from exposure to A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) through intranasal verses inhalation routes was analyzed. Ferrets were successfully infected through intranasal instillation or through inhalation of small particle aerosols with four different doses of Influenza virus A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1). The animals developed severe influenza encephalomyelitis following intranasal or inhalation exposure to 101, 102, 103, or 104 infectious
If H5N1 viruses acquire the ability to undergo efficient and sustained transmission among humans, a pandemic would be inevitable. An understanding of the molecular and biologic requirements for efficient transmissibility is critical for the early identification of a potential H5N1 pandemic virus and the application of optimal control measures. The results of this study demonstrate, that unlike human H3N2 viruses, avian H5N1 viruses isolated from humans in 1997, 2003, or 2005 lack the ability to transmit efficiently in the ferret model. Furthermore, reassortant viruses bearing 1997 avian H5N1 surface glycoproteins with four or six human virus internal protein genes do not transmit efficiently in ferrets and thus lack the key property that predicts pandemic spread.. We found that the rgVic:486HANA reassortant bearing the H5 HA and human virus M and NS exhibited reduced infectivity for MDCK cells and 10-fold lower viral titers in ferrets compared with rg486:VicRNP that possessed avian virus M and ...
A properly cleaned cage can help keep the problem to nearly non-existent levels. A bath twice a year, or whenever accidents occur, is another means of keeping the animal clean and therefore nearly odor-free. Keep in mind, though, that ferrets may actually smell more after a bath as they emit extra amounts of new oil to replace that lost from bathing. If theyve become stressed, causing them to emit scent, a simple cleansing with a cloth can reduce the odor. Unlike skunk spray, ferret scent doesnt stain and last for weeks.. Be aware that certain odors can be evidence of possible illness. ECE or Green Slime disease is a condition that causes ferrets to produce highly noxious, green feces. The odor is distinctive and obvious. Looking for any abnormality in their waste, as evidenced in part by the odor, is a way of keeping odors down and detecting possible health problems.. Apart from the natural scent glands and ECE, certain bacteria are often at the bottom of odors, just as they are in humans ...
Now that weve determined the best water to offer, what is the best way to offer it? The question of bottle or bowl comes up quite often. Each vessel has its own merits and both can be irreplaceable given certain circumstances.. I usually put out both crocks and sipper bottles, said Sandra Kudrak, DVM, DABVP, of Community Animal Hospital in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Some ferrets dont drink well out of one or another and, especially if they are ill or older, I prefer them to have their choice.. Kudrak provides six to eight sources of water from different types of bowls and bottles. Some [ferrets] are really picky as to where and what they will drink.Kreuter also keeps both bottles and bowls in the cage. [You] never know when someone might succeed in tipping the bowl, she said. The type of bowl used is also important. One thing I swear by is a heavy marble or whatever water bowl Ñ ferrets like to try to dump the bowls and they seem to give up on these! Kreuter added.. Placement of the bottle ...

She is the Fairy Princess of the Fairy Ferrets from the Ferret Forest, born with the ability to melt specific mineral compounds with special high-frequency sound waves (read: her scream melts metal). Ferret is the loudest, crudest, bluntest fairy princess youve ever imagined. She curses like a sailor and sasses like its going out of style; in fact, the only thing she enjoys more than telling people how stupid they are is shopping for jewels, which she has an unhealthy obsession with (although if you ask her, its simply her natural right as a princess to own every jewel in existence). Her identity is supposed to be a secret - she is hiding from Emperor Mateus, who is trying to take over the Ferret Kingdom as part of his plan for world domination - but since she uses her royal status as justification for every illegal action she performs, nobody is fooled ...

Today DiNozzo had a busy day. Because my husband was off work I didnt have to spend pretty much all my time with the puppies and so DiNozzo was out of the cage for 5 hours. However, to make his day even better he wasnt alone. At 9:24 am I got a phone call from a Petco half an hour away because I was the first on their list and they got a ferret in. Only one though. I told them Id be in at 10 when they open to get him. There was a minor annoyance in the process (a family threw a fit because they werent allowed to walk in and buy him despite the numerous signs saying not for sale and the associate explaining that they have a waiting list for the next 16 ferrets and how normally its first come first serve but with the pandemic and the waiting list they are trying to be as ethical as possible by honoring the waitlist first).

This image describes how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical northern hemisphere spring. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 8052 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Cap Ferret, located 24 km away (15 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.. According to the model, the dominant wind at Cap Ferret blows from the WNW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Cap Ferret. Converseley, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average northern hemisphere spring, ...
Ferret owners are well aware of their pets scent glands located near the rectum which give off foul smelling secretions. Spaying/neutering helps to diminish the odor considerably. Most ferrets undergo spay/neuter just before their first heat, before males can become aggressive, to decrease odors and help prevent disease. However, there is some controversy over early spay/neuter. The rise of adrenal gland disease is thought to be directly related to early de-sexing in which the reproductive glands are removed and in turn preventing proper growth due to what may be the lack of hormones. It is recommended to wait to spay/neuter until the ferret is 6 months old. There is ongoing research with an injection of leuprolide acetate, a man-made hormone, to prevent adrenal gland disease. ...
Ohio.com Thanks to professional baseball, we understand the impact of steroid on athletes. But what if a ferret is given steroids? Apparently, it can be sold as a Toy Poodle. An Argentina man spent $150 on what he thought was two poodles. When he took his dogs to the veterenarian, he found out he was tricked into buying two ferrets pumped up with steroids. The two fake dogs were given steroids since birth and had their fur fluffed up. The UK Mail notes this may not be totally unique. Another person thought they were buy a Chiuhuahua, but it turned out to be a ferret. Heres the news report (it is in Spanish).

The surface epithelium of newborn ferret airways matures rapidly in the first month of life. Prominent developmental features include a transition from predominantly non-ciliated to ciliated cells, quantitative and qualitative changes in secretion of macromolecules, and a transition from secretory to absorptive patterns of ion transport. Freeze-fracture replicas of ferret tracheal epithelium from 0 to 28 days of age exhibited progressive developmental patterns in tight junctional structure from beaded, unclosed patterns in newborns to more closed patterns at 28 days. Strand number increased while the depth of tight junctional structures and the proportion of strands exhibiting discontinuity decreased postnatally. Total transepithelial conductance, paracellular conductance, and cell size decreased over the first month. Our data suggest that changes in physiological parameters that reflect epithelial tight junction permeability can be attributed, at least in part, to maturation of this intercellular
is licensed under CC BY 2.0. The New York Times published on February 18 an enthusiastic article about a black-footed ferret, hailing it as the first of any native, endangered animal species in North America to be cloned.. As we have been documenting for many years (see below), grand claims for animal cloning go back to the birth of the first cloned sheep, in 1996. The New York Times was so excited by this event that it ran 17 articles in two weeks about human reproductive cloning. For a few years thereafter, there was much excitement about the prospect of both human and animal clones.. The only claims of human clones were fakes, but there was more plausible talk about cloning at least two dozen animal species. The first cloned endangered animal, a kind of wild cattle called a gaur, was born at 7:30 PM on Monday, January 8, 2001, according to the press release. (Of course there was a press release.) It died two days later. Such failures were much more common than successes; the process was, ...

In this report, a fully avian H7N1 virus was adapted to become capable of airborne transmission in ferrets. The virus also showed transmission to all CH animals, suggesting that transmission via direct contact was also enhanced; however, it is possible that airborne transmission could also occur in CH animals. The findings are consistent with those on the adaptation of highly pathogenic H5N1 (16), as no reassortment event was required to yield a virus capable of airborne transmission. In agreement with studies on H9N2 and H5N1, a limited number of amino acid mutations (five or six) were associated with airborne transmission and serial passage leads to mammalian adaptation (16, 25, 27). In the HA-encoding gene, we identified a single mutation present in all AC ferrets, resolution of K/R313R. This mutation is located in the stalk region of H7 HA. Thus, it is unlikely to influence receptor binding. The receptor-binding preference of WT H7N1 was previously characterized and shown to be consistent ...
Adrenal gland disease is, unfortunately, a common disease of pet ferrets in the United States. Most affected ferrets are older than 2 years. While the exact cause of this condition has not been determined, it is believed that spaying and neutering ferrets at an early age plays a role. This is problematic because failing to spay females can result in life-threatening illness, while neutering males reduces odor and aggression. Removal of the testes or ovaries removes hormonal influences that appear to affect the adrenal gland. In the absence of these influences, the adrenal glands may overproduce several sex hormones, causing a variety of clinical signs. In some cases, the overactive gland can eventually become cancerous. Genetics may also play a role in the development of adrenal gland disease.. Read More ...
A more interesting experiment is to replace the five-year olds with ferrets. And here the real vectors of the problem become apparent very quickly. It turns out that teeth and claws are tremendous force amplifiers. All it takes is one good bite in a vulnerable area and defeat quickly follows. Even a relatively small number (3-6) of hungry, trained ferrets are enough to consistently and severely disable both a highly-trained martial artist and a US Marine. This holds true even when they are allowed to work together against the ferret threat. But when you allow for even minimal armor (padded gloves, sweats and goggles) the kill counts immediately rise drastically. With heavy armor the humans can slaughter the ferrets without consequence and the result is a ferret holocaust. Really the experiment demonstrates that swarm and mass tactics, even when totally uncoordinated, are extremely effective in close combat. As history aptly demonstrates, the only effective solution in the face of such tactics ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (HPAI), subtype H5N1, remains an emergent threat to the human population. While respiratory disease is a hallmark of influenza infection, H5N1 has a high incidence of neurological sequelae in many animal species and sporadically in humans. We elucidate the temporal/spatial infection of H5N1 in the brain of ferrets following a low dose, intranasal infection of two HPAI strains of varying neurovirulence and lethality. A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (VN1203) induced mortality in 100% of infected ferrets while A/Hong Kong/483/1997 (HK483) induced lethality in only 20% of ferrets, with death occurring significantly later following infection. Neurological signs were prominent in VN1203 infection, but not HK483, with seizures observed three days post challenge and torticollis or paresis at later time points. VN1203 and HK483 replication kinetics were similar in primary differentiated ferret nasal turbinate cells, and similar viral titers were measured in the nasal turbinates of
Although many studies have examined the precedence effect (PE), few have tested whether it shows a buildup and breakdown in nonhuman animals comparable to that seen in humans. These processes are thought to reflect the ability of the auditory system to adjust to a listeners acoustic environment, and their mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, ferrets were trained on a two-alternative forced-choice task to discriminate the azimuthal direction of brief sounds. In one experiment, pairs of noise bursts were presented from two loudspeakers at different interstimulus delays (ISDs). Results showed that localization performance changed as a function of ISD in a manner consistent with the PE being operative. A second experiment investigated buildup and breakdown of the PE by measuring the ability of ferrets to discriminate the direction of a click pair following presentation of a conditioning train. Human listeners were also tested using this paradigm. In both species, performance was better
PyFerret and Ferret v7.6 implements automatic handling of datasets which use the Discrete Sampling Geometries standard for CF.. In Chapter 9 of the NetCDF CF Conventions document, a set of file types for Discrete Sampling Geometries is defined. These datasets describe point data, trajectories, profiles, time series, timeSeriesProfiles, and trajectoryProfiles. Ferret version 7.6 implements automatic handling of files that use the contiguous ragged array representation for these data types: point data, trajectories, profiles, time series. The handling of feature types timeSeriesProfiles, and trajectoryProfiles will be implemented in a later release.. The datasets are feature-collections, and a single feature is a single instance of a timeseries, a profile, a trajectory, or a point. The observations lie along the observation axis and the information describing features lie along the instance axis, which is of length nfeatures. In the documentation and example scripts we use the abbreviation ...
This is a ferret that is suffering from adrenal disease. Adrenal disease is a general term for any condition where one or multiple tumorous growths on the adrenal gland negatively affect the balance of hormone creation in the ferrets body. It can be treated through surgery or with a drug called Lupron, which helps stop the excess production of hormones caused by the tumor.
Maud! Millie! Behind you! Simon shouted, as he raced forward, pointing his two lurchers in the direction of a bolting rabbit. The long wait we had endured before a rabbit emerged made for a charged atmosphere, which blinded us to the absconder. The speed of the two species was almost matched, with only the rabbit s agility giving it a slight edge. Then, inches before the safety of the warren, Maud skilfully pinned the coney to the sandy earth while Millie respectfully stood back and watched the senior dog.. The day after the wildfowling season closed, professional ferreter and Shooting Times columnist, Simon Whitehead, was on the foreshore of the Blyth estuary to help tackle north Suffolk s burgeoning rabbit population. For this particular job Simon had engaged the entire army of his Pakefield ferrets as the warren in question has existed since the 1930s and is now a complex network of pipes reaching depths of up to 40ft. With 12 hungry ferrets, two sharp-eyed lurchers and a handler completely ...
Pred IS often used for IBD. Steroids are not something to be taken lightly though. It is best to try to get it under control by other means first. Ulcers and IBD often go hand in hand in ferrets, and since their GI tracts are a mess they are very prone to bacterial overgrowth (their gut flora is all over the place with all of the inflammation and excess mucous production). The two antibiotics are very standard for IBD and ulcers. They are usually used in conjunction with carafate. When your ferret hasnt had a solid poop in weeks, and is sunken in at the hips because their food passes right through, you do what you have to no matter how much you hate pumping them full of meds. This med regimen Works. Now it doesnt always work, sometimes with IBD nothing you do works. It is a rough disease. But in many cases this regimen helps to bring the problem under control enough. Usually just the triple therapy is used, but sometimes you have to do more. These meds arent given constantly, they are given ...
