Abstract:
Eight Nubian goats were given single oral doses of 1200, 600, 300 or 150 mg/kg of Reldan. The 2 goats receiving the highest dose died after 1 and 16 hr whereas other animals survived the 7-day observation period. Twelve Nubian goats were given Reldan orally at daily dosages of 600, 300, 150 or 75 mg/kg. The goats died or were killed in extremis between 2 and 25 days. Pathology, clinical chemistry and hematology findings are reported.

01:23Toxicity Testing in Animals
Toxicity tests in animals are grounded on two main assumptions: first, the effects observed in laboratory animals can be extrapolated to humans, especially when adjusted for body surface area; second, high-dose exposure in animals is essential to identify potential human hazards from lower doses. This is based on the quantal dose-response concept, which faces the challenge of extrapolating results from relatively few test animals to much larger human populations. For example, a 0.01% incidence...
01:26Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.
