Disease relevance of Cannibalism

• Noradrenaline depletion of the olfactory bulbs induces cannibalism at parturition in primiparous mice, without producing anosmia or impairment of maternal behaviour [1].

High impact information on Cannibalism

• It is thought that BSE is a result of cannibalism in which faulty industrial practices produced prion-contaminated feed for cattle [2].
• Cannibalistic cells appeared to be of SCCL origin. "Cannibalism" is never observed in serum-free cultures but can be reinduced by serum exposure [3].
• Effects of genetic-environmental interactions on plasma dopamine (DA) concentrations were studied in White Leghorn chickens selected for both high (HGPS) or low (LGPS) group productivity and survivability resulting from cannibalism and flightiness [4].
• Genetic variation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge was studied in chicken lines divergently selected for high (HGPS) and low (LGPS) group productivity and survivability resulting from cannibalism and flightiness in colony cages and in a Dekalb XL (DXL) commercial line [5].
• Laboratory studies of Melanoplus sanguinipes demonstrated that fipronil was horizontally transferred at lethal levels (p < 0.05) via cannibalism through four passages when the initial dose applied to a food source was 250 times the label rate for rangeland grasshopper and locust control (label rate is 4 g AI/ha) [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Cannibalism

• The reason for the unsatisfactory plumage condition and the high mortality rate due to cannibalism for the diets low in protein could be inadequate lysine, methionine, and threonine in the diets [7].
• Use of perphenazine to control cannibalism in DBA/1 mice [8].
• Of millimeterology and cannibalism: comparative antihypertensive efficacy of angiotensin receptor blockers [9].

• RESULTS: Of 350 rats enrolled, 15 (4.2%) died due to anesthetic complications and 16 (4.5%) due to cannibalism and stress during transport [11].

Biological context of Cannibalism

• The observations are discussed in terms of invasion, emperipolesis, cannibalism, phagocytosis and extracellular matrix [12].

Anatomical context of Cannibalism

• It is likely that "cannibalism" may contribute to the frequent failure to establish SCCL cell lines in serum-containing medium [3].

Gene context of Cannibalism

• In studies of transmission of PRV by cannibalism, either latently infected or acutely infected tissue was fed to both domestic and feral-derived pigs [13].
