Dietary effects on sex-specific health dynamics of medfly: Support for the dynamic equilibrium model of aging

Papadopoulos, N. T.; Papanastasiou, S.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Yang, W.; Carey, J. R. (2011)

We examined experimentally the relationship between the period of unhealthy life and longevity in the medfly by using the first sign of supine behavior (upside down; immobile) in medflies as an indication of their poor ...
Field Evaluation of a Bioregulator Containing Live Bacillus cereus Spores on Health Status and Performance of Sows and their Litters

Alexopoulos, C.; Karagiannidis, A.; Kritas, S. K.; Boscos, C.; Georgoulakis, I. E.; Kyriakis, S. C. (2001)

The efficacy of Paciflor, a bioregulator containing live Bacillus cereus CIP 5832 spores, was assessed in sows during late pregnancy and lactation, as well as in their piglets up to the growing phase. Two groups each of ...
Genetic growth potential interacts with nutrition on the ability of mice to cope with Heligmosomoides bakeri infection

Coltherd, J. C.; Bnger, L.; Kyriazakis, I.; Houdijk, J. G. M. (2009)

Artificial selection for improved productivity may reduce an animal's ability to cope with pathogens. Here, we used Roslin mice, uniquely divergently selected for high (ROH) and low (ROL) body weight, to assess interactive ...
Herd-level risk factors for subclinical Salmonella infection in European finishing-pig herds

Lo Fo Wong, D. M. A.; Dahl, J.; Stege, H.; Van Der Wolf, P. J.; Leontides, L.; Von Altrock, A.; Thorberg, B. M. (2004)

Our objective was to find herd factors associated with pigs testing seropositive for Salmonella. Data were collected from 359 finishing-pig herds in Germany, Denmark, Greece, The Netherlands and Sweden, between 1996 and ...
Predicting the effects of body fatness on food intake and performance of sheep

Tolkamp, B. J.; Yearsley, J. M.; Gordon, I. J.; Illius, A. W.; Speakman, J. R.; Kyriazakis, I. (2007)

Adipose tissue produces signals that can have a profound effect on many physiological functions, including energy expenditure and food intake. The hypothesis that variation in food intake of sheep resulting from differences ...
Recording lifetime behavior and movement in an invertebrate model

Zou, S.; Liedo, P.; Altamirano-Robles, L.; Cruz-Enriquez, J.; Morice, A.; Ingram, D. K.; Kaub, K.; Papadopoulos, N.; Carey, J. R. (2011)

Characterization of lifetime behavioral changes is essential for understanding aging and aging-related diseases. However, such studies are scarce partly due to the lack of efficient tools. Here we describe and provide proof ...
