BACKGROUND:Clostridium difficile is an important cause of intestinal infections in some animal species and animals might be a reservoir for community associated human infections. Here we describe a collection of animal associated C. difficile strains from 12 countries based on inclusion criteria of one strain (PCR ribotype) per animal species per laboratory.RESULTS:Altogether 112 isolates were collected and distributed into 38 PCR ribotypes with agarose based approach and 50 PCR ribotypes with sequencer based approach. Four PCR ribotypes were most prevalent in terms of number of isolates as well as in terms of number of different host species: 078 (14.3% of isolates 4 hosts), 014/020 (11.6% 8 hosts) 002 (5.4% 4 hosts) and 012 (5.4% 5 hosts). Two animal hosts were best represented cattle with 31 isolates (20 PCR ribotypes 7 countries) and pigs with 31 isolates (16 PCR ribotypes 10 countries).CONCLUSIONS:This results show that although PCR ribotype 078 is often reported as the major animal C. difficile type, especially in pigs, the variability of strains in pigs and other animal hosts is substantial. Most common human PCR ribotypes (014/020 and 002) are also among most prevalent animal associated C. difficile strains worldwide. The widespread dissemination of toxigenic C. difficile and the considerable overlap in strain distribution between species furthers concerns about interspecies, including zoonotic, transmission of this critically important pathogen.

Turner, Simon Phillip. "Social organisation and resource requirements of pigs housed in large groups." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2000. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=158508.
The resource requirements and social behaviour of pigs housed in large groups were examined in a series of experiments. (i) The nipple drinker requirement was addressed by using four treatments (60 pigs, 3 drinkers; 20 pigs, 1 drinker; 60 pigs, 6 drinkers and 20 pigs, 2 drinkers). Drinker provision had no effect on water use, but in a larger group more water was used in less time (p<0.001). The diurnal pattern of drinking, overt aggression and lesion score indicated no difference between treatments. (ii) Pigs, housed on deep straw in groups of 20 or 80, were provided with a low (50kg/m2) or high (32 kg/m2) floor space allowance. Large groups had a lower growth rate. Skin lesions were elevated and immune response was lowered by a low space allowance. (iii) Two feeder space allowances (32.5and 42.5mm/pig) for pigs housed in groups of 20 or 80 were investigated. Food intake was lower in the low feeder allowance treatments and pigs in large groups tended to have a reduced growth rate. (iv) Pigs from the same pen in an unfamiliar arena maintained a similar degree of proximity regardless of origin group size. (v) Pigs from groups of 80 demonstrated reduced aggressiveness (increased latency to fight, decreased rate of aggression) towards unacquainted pigs in an arena, but showed even less aggression towards pen mates. (vi) No evidence of spatial sub-division of the large group into smaller units capable of maintaining a dominance hierarchy was found. Resource provision and group size largely did not interact, but may independently compromise productivity and behaviour. A large group was associated with a reduction in performance. The dominance hierarchy was of less importance in large groups, despite recognition being intact, and sub-grouping behaviour did not provide an alternative strategy for group social organisation.

Protein classification databases are widely used in the prediction of protein structure and function, and amongst these databases the manually-curated Structural Classification of Proteins database (SCOP) is considered to be a gold standard. In SCOP, functional relationships are described by hyperfamily and superfamily categories and structural relationships are described by family, species and protein categories. We present a method to calculate a difference measure between pairs of proteins that can be used to reproduce SCOP2 structural relationship classifications, and that can also be used to reproduce a subset of functional relationship classifications at the superfamily level. Calculating the difference measure requires first finding the best correspondence between atoms in two protein configurations. The problem of finding the best correspondence is known as the unlabelled, partial matching problem. We consider the unlabelled, partial matching problem through a detailed analysis of the approach presented in Green and Mardia (2006). Using this analysis, and applying domain-specific constraints, we develop a new algorithm called GProtA for protein structure alignment. The proposed difference measure is constructed from the root mean squared deviation of the aligned protein structures and a binary similarity measure, where the binary similarity measure takes into account the proportions of atoms matching from each configuration. The GProtA algorithm and difference measure are applied to protein structure data taken from the Protein Data Bank. The difference measure is shown to correctly classify 62 of a set of 72 proteins into the correct SCOP family categories when clustered. Of the remaining 9 proteins, 2 are assigned incorrectly and 7 are considered indeterminate. In addition, a method for deriving characteristic signatures for categories is proposed. The signatures offer a mechanism by which a single comparison can be made to judge similarity to a particular category. Comparison using characteristic signatures is shown to correctly delineate proteins at the family level, including the identification of both families for a subset of proteins described by two family level categories.

Morton, Thomas L. "Gregarious Behavior in Large Mammals: Modeling, Methodology, and Application." DigitalCommons@USU, 1993. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6489.
Gregarious behavior of ungulates was considered in four ways. The first concern was W. D. Hamilton's hypothesis that a simple movement rule could reduce predation risk and encourage grouping behavior. Simulations showed little effect of this nearest-neighbor rule on predation risk. Similar, more complicated rules reduced predation risk by up to two thirds.
The second focus was on the accuracy of ground observers in diagramming individual animal locations in small herds of elk. A remotely controlled airplane was used to photograph the herds from above. A substantial distance discrepancy was found between "true" and "observed" animal locations. This discrepancy increased with group size and was different between observers but not between herds. Observers were better at predicting relative animal locations than absolute animal locations.
The third consideration was interanimal spacing in bison herds photographed from an airplane during a three-month period. At later dates photographed herds were located, and cover-sampling methods were adapted to estimate bison visibility in each area. These data were used in linear regression models which explained over two-thirds of the variance in nearest-neighbor distance. Important indicator variables were the number of animals in the herd, a cover measurement, the north and east location of herds, the time photographed, and the fraction of the animals standing.
The fourth focus was the development of simulations of simple movement rules used to mimic grouping behavior. Individuals moved according to two simple first nearest-neighbor rules: if within a minimum distance, move directly away, and if outside a maximum distance, move directly toward. Four other rules were used to determine individual states. Two different measurements were made for each simulation run: the overall mean nearest-neighbor distance and the overall mean subgroup size. Results showed that the means and variances of near-neighbor distances decreased as the number of individuals in the simulation increased. Different near-neighbor rules had little effect on mean nearest neighbor distance. All rules produced results similar to each other and different from bison data. A random model was more similar to the bison data.

Background The increased use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys in the UK has followed a UK government mandate of a 50% increase in organ donation from 2008- 2013. DCD kidneys have associated higher rates of delayed graft function (DGF) and primary non-function (PNF), which is thought to be due to warm ischaemia (WI) exposure during the retrieval process. This project aimed to utilise a porcine model of DCD WI in order to examine candidate biomarkers. Both a proteomic (2D DIGE) and a genomic (expression microarray) study were undertaken with appropriate validation. Methods Schedule 1 termination of six large white pigs with intravenous phenobarbitone was followed by open renal biopsies taken at 30 min intervals up to 180 min. Total RNA and proteins were extracted and subjected to single colour expression microarray and 2D difference in gel electrophoresis (20 OIGE) respectively. Validation of the proteomic and genomic studies was performed with Western Blotting and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) respectively. Results Upregulation of HSP70 was found to be significant across the three hour WI period at the gene (Fold change (FO) +4.1, p

AbstractRecent years have seen an explosion of interest in nonhuman animal agency in different fields. In biology and ethology, new studies about animal languages, cultures, cognition and emotion are published weekly. In the broad field of animal studies, the symbolic and ontological human-animal distinction is challenged and other animals are presented as actors. These studies challenge existing approaches to animal ethics. Animals are no longer creatures to simply think about: they have their own perspectives on life, and humans can in some instances communicate with them about that. Animal ethics long determined individual moral rights and duties on the basis of nonhuman animal capacities, but this often measures them to human standards and does not take into account that nonhuman animals are a heterogeneous group in terms of capabilities as well as social relations to humans. The questions of whether animals have agency, and how we should morally evaluate their agency, are especially urgent because we live in an age in which humans dominate the lives of large numbers of other animals. The Anthropocene has shaped the knowledge and technology for humans to realize that animals have more agency than has been assumed, but ironically it is also an epoch where animal agency is increasingly curtailed. This leads to new conflicts and problems of justice. How should animal ethics deal with the new knowledge and challenges generated in the Anthropocene? In this chapter we defend a relational approach to animal ethics, viewing other animals as subjects capable of co-shaping relations.

The microgravity environment encountered during spaceflight has numerous deleterious effects on the human body, with one of the most drastic being decreased bone mass due to mechanical unloading. These alterations in bone mass and skeletal strength are one of the foremost limitations of future space exploration. Due to the cost of long-duration space missions, it is critically important to develop ground-based models of the microgravity environment encountered during spaceflight to investigate possible countermeasures to maintain skeletal integrity.

When vehicles collide with large animals, such as cattle, moose, elk or horses, the front seat occupants can be seriously or fatally injured; primarily due to roof deformation. In order to protect the front occupants in these accidents, it is necessary to understand the forces and energy involved in the interaction between the animal and the vehicle roof structure. The authors have developed a pendulum test incorporating an animal dummy to generate similar roof deformation to that experienced in real world animal impact accidents. The energy absorbed by the vehicle roof structure in the accident can then be determined by comparing the accident vehicle roof deformation to the pendulum test vehicle roof deformation. Ultimately, alternative roof structural designs are evaluated to demonstrate that a roof can perform well in this type of accident mode and reduce the risk for serious injuries to the occupants.
