Trap-vaccinate-release and oral vaccination for rabies control in urban skunks, raccoons and foxes.

Two rabies control tactics, trap-vaccinate-release (T-V-R) and oral vaccination were used for the control of rabies in skunks (Mephitis mephitis), raccoons (Procyon lotor), and foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in metropolitan Toronto, Canada. Using T-V-R, a mean of 45% to 72% (95% confidence limits of 40% to 81%) of the skunks and a mean of 17% to 68% (95% confidence limits of 14% to 76%) of the raccoons in a 60 km2 area of Toronto were vaccinated against rabies between 1987 and 1991. The area has been free of skunk rabies from May 1989 to April 1992. Forty-five rabies cases were diagnosed during 1980 to 1986. In contrast, only three skunk cases have been reported since the vaccination program began in July 1987. The T-V-R area also remained rabies free during an epizootic of skunk rabies in metropolitan Toronto during 1991. Following distribution of rabies vaccine-baits throughout the ravines of metropolitan Toronto, June 1989 to December 1991, 46% to 80% of the Toronto fox population was immunized during 1989, 1990 and 1991. Only one case of fox rabies was reported in metropolitan Toronto since vaccination began, compared to 80 cases reported between 1982 and 1988. The area has been free of reported fox rabies from October 1990 to April 1992.

Legal issues surrounding privately funded research cause furore in Toronto

Toronto physician Miriam Shuchman has spent the last 4 months tracking the research issues surrounding a controversial clinical trial conducted in Toronto. Much of the information appearing in this article was gathered while she was preparing a segment for the CBC Radio program Quirks and Quarks. Earlier, she had reported on similar issues in the US for the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Strain variation in Hymenolepis diminuta: enzyme profiles

In comparative study of respiratory metabolism, it was established that the relative proportions of respiratory end-products (succinic, acetic and lactic acids) differed consistently in two strains of Hymenolepis diminuta (Toronto and ANU). The ANU strain produced more lactic acid and less succinic acid under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In the shift from aerobic to anaerobic conditions both strains compensated by increasing their outputs of succinic acid. The ANU strain possessed significantly higher activities of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cytosolic and mitochondrial malic enzyme and cytosolic α-glycerophosphate dehy drogenase. The Toronto strain had significantly higher activities of fumarase, succinate dehydrogenase, and fumarate reductase. There were no significant differences in the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and malic dehydrogenase between strains. The fumarase activity in the Toronto strain was 16 times that of the ANU strain, its K_m (malate) was 0.8mM, as opposed to 2.5 mM, and it was less sensitive to inhibition by NAD or ATP. These observations are consistent with the patterns of end-product formation in the two strains. Ratios of end-products and calculations of approximate redox balance suggest that the Toronto strain may have a greater capacity for aerobic metabolism.
