Anthropogenic, or human generated, sounds have the potential to significantly affect the lives of aquatic animals - from the individual animal's well-being, right through to its reproduction, migration and even survival of the species.

MU Discovery Could Help Identify Therapy For Humans And Cats With Forms Of Retinitis Pigmentosa
About one in 3,500 people are affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease of the retina's visual cells that eventually leads to blindness. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has identified a genetic link between cats and humans for two different forms of RP. This discovery will help scientists develop gene-based therapies that will benefit both cats and humans.
Bluetongue - JAB Campaign Keeps Up Pace For 2009, British Veterinary Association
Take advantage and vaccinate your animals before turning them out to protect them from the threat of bluetongue. This is the message from the JAB campaign which aims to keep up the pressure on livestock farmers to vaccinate for the coming season. Vaccine manufacturers Merial, Intervet and Fort Dodge are all supplying vaccine and it is available in all veterinary practices across England.
Avian Influenza In Poultry On Premises In East Of England
The Health Protection Agency continues to work closely with local and national veterinary colleagues following the announcement yesterday by the Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) that avian influenza had been found in poultry on two premises in the East of England. Defra has today confirmed that the avian influenza virus present there is H6N1. The H6 virus type has been isolated in domestic poultry and wild birds in Europe over the last few years.

روش جدید تشخیص استروئیدهای غیر قانونی در گاو
In an effort to curb the illegal use of steroids in the European beef industry, scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting the development of a new test that can identify steroids with higher accuracy, more convenience, and less cost than conventional doping tests. Their report is in the current issue of Analytical Chemistry, a semi-monthly journal.
In the new study, Rodat Cunningham and colleagues note that the European Union banned use of growth-promoting agents in cattle. However, widespread abuse of steroids continues and remains difficult to detect, they say. The standard methods for detecting steroid abuse --mass spectrometry and gas chromatography - involve directly measuring these substances in cattle. But the tests are expensive and can't detect some of the newer steroid hormones.
The scientists describe a new test that measures steroids indirectly based on chemical changes associated with growth and muscle development in steroid-treated cattle. Using a commercial blood analyzer commonly found in hospitals, the researchers measured 20 chemical markers, including proteins and cholesterol, in cattle treated with and without commonly used steroids over a 42-day study period. The new test detected the steroids with accuracy between 91 and 96 percent. The study opens the door to on-site steroid testing with portable instrumentation, the researchers say.

International Poultry Health Event for Iran in 2010
IRAN - The 2nd International Veterinary Poultry Congress and Exhibition of Iran will be held on 20-21 February 2010 in Tehran.
The 2nd International Veterinary Poultry Congress and Exhibition of Iran will be held by Veterinary Council of I.R. Iran as Organizer on 20-21 February 2010 in Tehran, Iran.
The event is supported by Iran Veterinary Organization, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of University of Tehran, Razi Serium and Vaccine Research Institute, World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA-Iran Branch), Islamic Azad University and with the collaboration of Contemporary Conference Organizers (CCO) as co-organizer.
The first Congress was held with full collaboration of saem organizations in February 2008 in Tehran. In addition to presence of Professor Mohammad Hafez, Head of World Poultry Veterinary Association and Dr Atoosa Mazaheri as key-note speakers, several other scientific papers from Iran, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Hungary, China, India and Germany were presented in this Congress. Also more than 60 companies from Iran, Algeria, China, France, Germany, India, Saudi Arabia, Spain and The Netherlands participated in the specialized exhibition, held besides this Congress.
