An adult male rhesus monkey (Macaca mulata) developed anorexia, ataxia, dullness, coughing, and some elevated body temperature and ided a week after the initiation of such symptoms. Body weight was 18.3 kg and the only notable gross lesion was the appearance of acute pneumonia with multiple nodules. Histopathologic observation of the tissues obtained from this animal revealed the features of acute primary pulmonary blastomycosis

This study was conducted to clarify the presence or absence of isohemagglutinin and isohemolysin in the formosan deer. Using 4 rabbit immune sera to different deer blood cells following blood types were recognized among 30 heads of deer. These are by hemagglutination test (A: positive to all 4 immune sera (13 heads)), of 1BS and 3BS (8 heads), C: positive to the sera of 3BS, 7BS and 8BS but negative to that of 1BS (9 heads)), by hemolysis test (A: positive to all 4 immune sera (24 heads), B: positive to the immune sera of 7BS and 8BS but negative to those of 1BS and 3BS (3 heads)), C: positive to the sera of 3BS, 7BS and 8BS but negative to that of 1BS (3 heads))

This study was carried out to investigate a case of elk babesiosis in Daegu Korea [R.]. Hematologically, the erythrocyte count was 1.93 million/cu.mm, 11% of which were infected with Babesia. Most (88%) of the protozoa were spherical or vacuolated ring form in shape, resembling B. bovis. The sizes (0.98-2.85) were slightly smaller than the latter. About 7% of the protozoa were vacuolated oval, the size of which varied from 2.06-2.95 x 1.08-1.97 (2.53 x 1.51 in average). The remaining 5% were irregular in shape

This study was conducted to determine variations in the synthesis of DNA in the nuclei of various elements of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) placenta with increasing gestational age from the 8th day post coitum to parturition. The mitotic activities of the endodermal cells of the visceral yolk sac and of the parietal yolk sac, the trophoblastic cells of the labyrinth and the trophospongium and the giant cells were decreased with increasing gestational age. The placentation was nearly completed by 13 day of pregnancy and the increase in size of labyrinth was by appositional growth from the trophospongial cells
