This discussion of chemotherapeutic agents follows a pharmacological outline that is strongly clinically oriented. In this fashion I will best contribute to the health of captive marine mammals. But first I would like to remark on the species of animals under discussion, make a point concerning diagnostics, and briefly point out some of the pharmacodynamic differences that characterize marine mammals.

A serologic study was conducted to investigate the exposure of captive and free-flying Canada geese (Branta canadensis) to five arboviruses, chlamydiae and Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Of more than 1200 serums screened in the metabolic-inhibition test (MIT), no serums neutralized eastern encephalitis virus (EEV), less than 1% neutralized western (WEV) or Venezuelan (VEV) encephalitis viruses, 2% neutralized St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), and 29% neutralized California encephalitis virus (CEV). Supplementary serologic procedures indicated that a nonspecific inhibitor probably caused inhibition of CEV in the MIT. Fifty-six per cent of 197 serums had hemagglutination-inhibition titers of 1:80 or higher against M. gallisepticum and were considered “positive”. Two hundred and eight serums were negative for complement-fixing antibody against chlamydiae.

A furunculosis epizootic during May 1968 decimated the yellow bass population in Clear Lake, Iowa. Loss in body weight during the previous year and reduced fecundity suggested that inadequate nutrition resulting from over-population was a causal factor.

Leptospiras isolated from creek water in Iowa at the site of human leptospirosis exposure could not be identified by a reference laboratory but the 31 isolates were placed into 12 serologic groups using serologic cross reactions and agglutinin absorption techniques. Reactions of the isolates to 8-azaguanine and copper sulfate suggest that they belong to the nonpathogenic or saprophytic complex. Cloning procedures failed to detect any leptospires that could be classified as pathogenic or parasitic but did indicate that some isolations from water contained serologically heterogenous populations of leptospires. The possible significance of these results is discussed.

The relationship between the California encephalitis (CEV) group of arboviruses and a snowshoe hare population near Rochester (54N, 113W), Alberta has been studied since 1961. The neutralizing antibody prevalence to the CEV group of viruses in adult hares was high, 58% to 95%, during the 6 years of snowshoe hare population decline, when the population dropped from over 600 hares per square mile to 3 hares per square mile. In the 2 years of population recovery thus far observed, the antibody prevalence has been low, 0% to 43%. The prevalence rates in juveniles have been lower than in the adults throughout the study. At least 2 strains of the virus group are present and a total of 7 isolations from Aedes mosquitoes and 1 from a snowshoe hare have been made, representing the northern most known limit of the CEV froup in North America. Experimental viremia studies with the Montana snowshoe hare strain of virus resulted in titers up to 104 mouse LD50 per ml. of whole blood and viremia lasted up to 3 days with an increase in length of viremia with age.

The use and study of wild and domestic animals frequently involves physical handling and in some instances the performance of surgical or other painful procedures. With few exceptions the needs in domestic animals are basically for relief of pain and relaxation to allow comfort to the patient and convenience to the surgeon. Agents can be selected without much concern for excessive restraint of the animal before medication in most cases. The preparation of the wild animal foi some form of chemical restraint, sedation or anesthesia most often must be made without the benefit of a physical examination to determine the physiological condition or specific needs. In many cases the animal must receive the initial medication via propelled dart or other systems used from a point distant from the animal.

New Jersey bullfrogs, Rana catesheiana, were found to be heavily infested with filarial worms of the genus Foleyella Seurat 1917. A technique was devised to rapidly screen amphibians for the infection. The results of a state-wide survey are presented and a possible life cycle is suggested. Preliminary transmission studies indicated the mosquito, Culex territans, to be a natural vector.

Although the main route of transmission of Tricliomnonas ga//mae is from infected adults to their young, it has been suggested (Stabler, 1954, Exptl. Parasitol. III: 368-402) that domestic poultry and uninfected adult columbids may become infected via water and feed contaminated by infected feral pigeons. The occurrence of tnichomonads in the upper digestive tract makes it possible for them to be expelled onto grain or into water during feeding or drinking.
