The harvested perfused anuran pelvic limb (HPAPL) model maintains the anatomic and physiologic integrity of the skin from the pelvic limb, including the intact capillary network. Radiolabeled malathion was applied to the skin of the dorsal thigh, and perfusate was collected over a 6h period. Residues from the skin surface, stratum externum, and dosed area beneath the stratum externum were analyzed. Kinetic parameters were calculated from these data. Absorption was significantly less for the HPAPL than previously reported for Teflon flow-through diffusion cells. However, partitioning effects were comparable. The HPAPL is an appropriate in vitro model for examining cutaneous absorption kinetics in the bullfrog.}, number={3}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY}, author={Willens, Scott and Stoskopf, Michael K. and Baynes, Ronald E. and Lewbart, Gregory A. and Taylor, Sharon K. and Kennedy-Stoskopf, Suzanne}, year={2006}, month={Nov}, pages={263–267} } @article{rotstein_taylor_birkenhauer_roelke-parker_homer_2002, title={Retrospective study of proliferative papillary vulvitis in Florida panthers}, volume={38}, ISSN={["0090-3558"]}, DOI={10.7589/0090-3558-38.1.115}, abstractNote={Proliferative, papillary vulvitis was identified in 16 of 34 (47%) free-ranging and captive female Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) monitored over a period from 1983–98. Gross lesions were characterized by extensive papilliferous proliferation in the mucosa of the vestibulum vaginae. Within lesions, the mean length and width of vestibular papillae were 1.07 ± 0.39 mm (CV = 36%) and 0.55 ± 0.11 mm (CV = 20%) respectively. Histologically, three to 12 layers of non-cornified stratified squamous epithelium with various degrees of basal cell spongiosis and rete ridge formation covered fibrous papillae. Mixed leukocytic mucosal inflammation also was observed. Infectious organisms were not observed, and immunohistochemical testing for the presence of papillomavirus antigens in specimens from seven panthers was negative. Lesions in nearly all of the panthers were first observed during a six-year period (1986–92), with one each in 1983, 1996 and 1998. There were no significant differences between the number of females having litters, the number of litters between age-matched and interval-matched females, and the interval between litters among lesion positive and lesion negative females over the 15 yr period. The severity of lesions did not appear to differ between parous and nulliparous free-ranging lesion-positive females. The cause of proliferative vulvitis remains unknown. However, the lesion did not appear to have a significant effect on reproduction.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE DISEASES}, author={Rotstein, DS and Taylor, SK and Birkenhauer, A and Roelke-Parker, M and Homer, BL}, year={2002}, month={Jan}, pages={115–123} } @article{rotstein_taylor_bradley_breitschwerdt_2000, title={Prevalence of Bartonella henselae Antibody in Florida Panthers}, volume={36}, ISSN={0090-3558}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.7589/0090-3558-36.1.157}, DOI={10.7589/0090-3558-36.1.157}, abstractNote={Serum samples from 28 free-ranging Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) and seven mountain lions from Texas (P. concolor stanleyana) living in south Florida (USA) between 1997 to 1998 were tested for antibodies to Bartonella henselae. Twenty percent (7/35) of the samples were reactive to B. henselae antisera with a subspecies prevalence of 18% (5/ 28) for Florida panthers and 28% (2/7) for cougars from Texas (USA). There was not a significant sex related difference in infection rates among the Florida panthers. Antibody prevalence was higher in panthers <2-yr of age (40%) compared to panthers >2-yr (13%). Compared to studies of antibody prevalence in mountain lions (P. concolor) from California (USA), overall seroprevalence was lower as was prevalence in panthers >2-yr-old. However, the seroprevalence in animals <2-yr from southern Florida was similar to prevalences reported in mountain lions or domestic felids in California.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Wildlife Diseases}, publisher={Wildlife Disease Association}, author={Rotstein, David S. and Taylor, Sharon K. and Bradley, Julie and Breitschwerdt, Edward B.}, year={2000}, month={Jan}, pages={157–160} }
