Anemia and mechanism of erythrocyte destruction in ducks with acute Leucocytozoon infections
R. M. Kocan
1968, Journal of Protozoology (15) 455-462
In the anemia which accompanies infection by Leucocytozoon simondi in Pekin ducks there was a far greater loss of erythrocytes than could be accounted for as a result of direct physical rupture by the parasite. Erythrocyte loss began at the same time the 1st parasites appeared in the blood and was severest...
Blood parasites in North American waterfowl
C. M. Herman
1968, Transactions of the North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference (33) 348-359
One thing seems to stand out in the overall knowledge we have of the blood parasites of waterfowl, as previously noted by Herman and Wehr, (1954): the greatest potential of losses is in the younger age groups, usually those birds 5-10 weeks old. In Leucocytozoon infections, death occurs as early...

Gary Wedemeyer
1968, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology (26) 279
1. Zinc uptake and distribution in the developing coho salmon egg was measured using radioisotope tracer techniques.2. The uptake was affected by pH, temperature, Cu2+, 2,4-fluorodinitrobenzene and the azo dye, malachite green; but not by azide ion or 2,4-dinitrophenol.3. About 70 per cent of the total accumulated zinc was bound,...
