Endangered Species Recovery

Book

Endangered Species Recovery presents case studies of prominent species recovery programs in an attempt to explore and analyze their successes, failures, and problems, and to begin to find ways of improving the process. It is the first effort to engage social scientists as well as biologists in a wide-ranging analysis and discussion of endangered species conservation, and provides valuable insight into the policy and implementation framework of species recovery programs. The book features a unique integration of case studies with theory, and provides sound, practical ideas for improving endangered species policy implementation.

Everglades: River of Grass

Book

Before 1947, when Marjory Stoneman Douglas named the Everglades a "river of grass, " most people considered the area a vast and worthless swamp. Her book brought the world's attention to the need to preserve the Everglades, a unique environment that is home to countless animal and plant species.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Infection in Nondomestic Felids

Journal

Sera collected post mortem during a 6-month period from cats were tested for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-specific antibodies by (1) an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), (2) an indirect peroxidase-based immunocytologicl test (IP), (3) a Western immunoblotting (WB) method with FIV-infected cell lysates, and (4) a WB method with purified viral antigen.

All four methods were capable of detecting FIV-specific antibodies in haemolysed sera. However, the ELISA showed the lowest “positive predictive value” (PVpos=22%) followed by the IP (PVpos 50–60%). Serum was FIV antibody-positive in 6% (15/255) of all cats examined. The mean age of seropositive cats was 9 years (4 years among seronegative cases) and the male-to-female ratio in such cats was 1·8 to 1 (overall ratio 0·8 to 1). Forty per cent of the seropositive cats were in the final phase of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) predominated among viral co-infections.

It was concluded that (1) a combination of the IP and WB reliably detected FIV-specific antibodies in sera collected post mortem, and (2) at post-mortem examination, cats from high-risk groups (male, >5 years old, hypercellular bone marrow) were frequently infected with FIV.
