A SURVEY OF FREE-RANGING DEER IN IRELAND FOR SEROLOGICAL EVIDENCE OF EXPOSURE TO BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHOEA VIRUS, BOVINE HERPES VIRUS-1, BLUETONGUE VIRUS AND SCHMALLENBERG VIRUS

Abstract Background Deer are an important wildlife species in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland having colonised most regions across the island of Ireland.In comparison to cattle and sheep which represent the main farmed ruminant species on the island, there is a lack of data concerning their exposure, as measured by the presence of

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide with potent suppressive effects on feeding behavior in rodents, chicken, and goldfish.Teleost fish express two PACAPs (PACAP1, encoded by the adcyap1a gene, and PACAP2, encoded by the adcyap1b gene) and two PACAP receptors (PAC1Rs; PAC1Ra, encoded by the adcyap1r1a gene, a

Wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) is a developed technology of wireless sensor networks and includes a set of nodes equipped with cameras and other sensors to detect ambient environment and produce multimedia data content.In this context, many types of noises occur due to sensors problems, change of illumination, fog, rain, and other weathe
