Management strategies for infectious disease control in a variety of production systems
Creators: name: Rowe, Joan Dean
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2016

description: Strategies for disease control in goat herds should be individualized to account for the diversity in management type, risk levels, and owner factors. Goat herd type, for example dairy, meat, fiber, companion or other; intensive or extensive management; confinement, grazing or browse; as well as owner's experience level, beliefs and budget all must be considered in planning prevention and control programs for contagious disease in goat herds. Caseous lymphadenitis, caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus, Johne's disease, Mycoplasma spp infections, contagious abortion agents, and scrapie all should be considered in planning an integrated pathogen control program to address as many diseases as possible using the same critical control steps in disease management. Pasteurized kid-rearing programs, disease-specific testing and segregation, testing and removal or culling are strategies commonly employed for important infectious diseases. Optimizing and economizing herd diagnostic surveillance through routine necropsies and selective herd testing provide the basis on which sound, informed decisions can be made. Conscious decisions should be made whether to tolerate, control or eradicate each important infectious disease in the herd or, if not in herd, what resources should be committed to preventing the introduction of agents causing lifelong infection in the adult herd.

description: This work defines a procedure for collecting naturally induced emotional facial expressions through the vision of movie excerpts with high emotional contents and reports experimental data ascertaining the effects of emotions on memory word recognition tasks. The induced emotional states include the four basic emotions of sadness, disgust, happiness, and surprise, as well as the neutral emotional state. The resulting database contains both thermal and visible emotional facial expressions, portrayed by forty Italian subjects and simultaneously acquired by appropriately synchronizing a thermal and a standard visible camera. Each subject's recording session lasted 45 minutes, allowing for each mode (thermal or visible) to collect a minimum of 2000 facial expressions from which a minimum of 400 were selected as highly expressive of each emotion category. The database is available to the scientific community and can be obtained contacting one of the authors. For this pilot study, it was found that emotions and/or emotion categories do not affect individual performance on memory word recognition tasks and temperature changes in the face or in some regions of it do not discriminate among emotional states.

description: The downlink of symmetric Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) with multiple relays and a single receiver is studied. Lower and upper bounds are derived on the capacity. The lower bound is achieved by Marton's coding which facilitates dependence among the multiple-access channel inputs. The upper bound uses Ozarow's technique to augment the system with an auxiliary random variable. The bounds are studied over scalar Gaussian C-RANs and are shown to meet and characterize the capacity for interesting regimes of operation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Archival tags enhance the interpretability and power of tagging studies, as illustrated by results from a mark-recapture study of yellowtail flounder off New England. Until recently, the well-studied yellowtail flounder was thought to be a 'sedentary' fish, feeding on epibenthic fauna and limited to relatively shallow, sandy habitats. This strict habitat preference and the discontinuous distributions of such habitats were considered to limit movement among offshore banks and shelves, thereby maintaining geographic stock structure. However, recent information obtained from data-storage tags documents frequent off-bottom movements associated with movement to different habitats. Similar to results from historical tagging studies for yellowtail, a mark-recapture study off New England that began in 2003 confirms a low frequency of movement among stock areas. However, the movement likely involves passive drift in midwater currents, similar to patterns observed for other flatfish species. Therefore, the use of electronic tags reveals an important aspect of yellowtail behavior that was not apparent after decades of intense research.

Year: 2016

description: Management of gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep and goats is a major challenge in many parts of the world, particularly in the current age of multi-drug anthelmintic resistance. Haemonchus contortus has gained substantial notoriety for its pathogenicity, as well as for its ability to develop resistance to all currently available classes of anthelmintics. As conventional pharmaceuticals continue to lose efficacy, alternative anti-parasitic strategies, such as feeding sericea lespedeza, a plant rich in condensed tannins, and administration of copper oxide wire particles, are gaining popularity in the United States.

Year: 2016

description: As anthelmintic resistance continues to escalate, the need for alternative parasite control methods in small ruminant has increased. Copper oxide wire particles and sericea lespedeza are commercially available in the United States. Several other novel control methods, such as feeding nematophagous fungal chlamydospores, and vaccination against Haemonchus contortus, hold great promise for control of gastrointestinal nematode infections in small ruminants. The Haemonchus contortus vaccine is licensed for use in sheep in Australia, but is not yet available in the United States. Experiments conducted around the world have demonstrated the excellent nematode controlling advantages of feeding Duddingtonia flagrans chlamydospores to grazing livestock. A commercially available product is expected to be available in the near future.

description: Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) can be investigated by means of non-linear Finite Element Models (FEM), suitable to capture large deflections of structural parts interacting with fluids, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). High fidelity simulations are obtained using the fine spatial resolution of both the structural and fluid computational grids. A key enabler to have a proper exchange of information between the structural solver and the fluid one is the management of the interface at wetted surfaces where the grids are usually non matching. A class of applications, known also as one-way FSI problems, involves a complex movement of the walls that is known in advance as measured or as computed by FEM, and that has to be imposed at the boundaries during a transient CFD solution. Effective methods for the time marching adaption of the whole computational grid of the CFD model according to the evolving shape of its boundaries are required. A very well established approach consists of a continuum update of the mesh that is regenerated by adding and removing cells to fit the evolution of the moving walls. In this paper, an innovative method based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF) mesh morphing is proposed, allowing the retention of the same mesh topology suitable for a continuum update of the shape. The proposed method is exact at a set of given key configurations and relies on shape blending time interpolation between key frames. The study of the complex motion of a Polymeric-Prosthetic Heart Valve (P-PHV) is presented using the new framework and considering as a reference the established approach based on remeshing.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Growth rates of bivalve molluscs exhibit a considerable degree of variability between individuals living under similar environmental conditions. A great deal of evidence also suggests that plasticity of underlying physiological processes can account for most this variability. Consequently, aims of this work were to use mussels (Mytilus edulis) that had experienced variable growth rates along their life span obtained by sorting individuals of a similar size but variable in age, in order to a) trying to correlate growth performance and energy budgets under a range of feeding conditions as well as identifying the physiological variables responsible for such differences in rates of growth, and b) to relate this physiological variability to underlying variability in morpho-funcional traits of gill and digestive gland as organs involved in food collection

description: We present new ALMA Band 7 ($\sim340$ GHz) observations of the dense gas tracers HCN, HCO$^+$, and CS in the local, single-nucleus, ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 13120-5453. We find centrally enhanced HCN (4-3) emission, relative to HCO$^+$ (4-3), but do not find evidence for radiative pumping of HCN. Considering the size of the starburst (0.5 kpc) and the estimated supernovae rate of $\sim1.2$ yr$^{-1}$, the high HCN/HCO$^+$ ratio can be explained by an enhanced HCN abundance as a result of mechanical heating by the supernovae, though the active galactic nucleus and winds may also contribute additional mechanical heating. The starburst size implies a high $Σ_{IR}$ of $4.7\times10^{12}$ $L_{\odot}$ kpc$^{-2}$, slightly below predictions of radiation-pressure limited starbursts. The HCN line profile has low-level wings, which we tentatively interpret as evidence for outflowing dense molecular gas. However, the dense molecular outflow seen in the HCN line wings is unlikely to escape the galaxy and is destined to return to the nucleus and fuel future star formation. We also present modeling of Herschel observations of the H$_2$O lines and find a nuclear dust temperature of $\sim40$ K. IRAS 13120-5453 has a lower dust temperature and $Σ_{IR}$ than is inferred for the systems termed "compact obscured nuclei" (such as Arp 220 and Mrk 231). If IRAS 13120-5453 has undergone a compact obscured nucleus phase, we are likely witnessing it at a time when the feedback has already inflated the nuclear ISM and diluted star formation in the starburst/AGN core.

description: Background: advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by having limited treatment options and thus a poor prognosis. However, new treatment options, in the form of targeted agents (TA), have emerged during recent years. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the accessible literature in PubMed evaluating TA used on NSCLC patients, and the resulting survival outcomes. Method: this systematic literature review was conducted by reviewing all relevant literature in PubMed. Six separate searches were performed: Three searches where controlled entry terms were used and three free text searches. Furthermore, other relevant publications were included manually. A total of seventy-two studies met the search criteria and were thus further analyzed and evaluated. Results: In the included studies, various TAs and their effect on different molecular targets have been evaluated. Clinical responses vary considerably among the different genetic aberrations. The majority of studies evaluated TA for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and TA for echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) rearrangements. Studies regarding the use of TA for Rat sarcoma (RAS), rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF), ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) rearrangement, Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (ERBB2), Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PIK3CA)/v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog; protein kinase B(AKT)/Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN), The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) were included as well. In general, studies comparing treatment outcomes in EGFR-mutated patients and EML4-ALK (ALK) rearranged patients after use of either TA or standard chemotherapy, present significant better results after TA. Conclusions: This systematic review provides an overview of available literature in PubMed regarding NSCLC and TA. Included studies point toward that TA appears to be a promising therapeutic tool in treating NSCLC patients and use of TA is expected to result in improved treatment outcomes.

description: Starting at 3-loop order, the massive Wilson coefficients for deep-inelastic scattering and the massive operator matrix elements describing the variable flavor number scheme receive contributions of Feynman diagrams carrying quark lines with two different masses. In the case of the charm and bottom quarks, the usual decoupling of one heavy mass at a time no longer holds, since the ratio of the respective masses, $η= m_c^2/m_b^2 \sim 1/10$, is not small enough. Therefore, the usual variable flavor number scheme (VFNS) has to be generalized. The renormalization procedure in the two--mass case is different from the single mass case derived in \cite{Bierenbaum:2009mv}. We present the moments $N=2,4$ and $6$ for all contributing operator matrix elements, expanding in the ratio $η$. We calculate the analytic results for general values of the Mellin variable $N$ in the flavor non-singlet case, as well as for transversity and the matrix element $A_{gq}^{(3)}$. We also calculate the two-mass scalar integrals of all topologies contributing to the gluonic operator matrix element $A_{gg}$. As it turns out, the expansion in $η$ is usually inapplicable for general values of $N$. We therefore derive the result for general values of the mass ratio. From the single pole terms we derive, now in a two-mass calculation, the corresponding contributions to the 3-loop anomalous dimensions. We introduce a new general class of iterated integrals and study their relations and present special values. The corresponding functions are implemented in computer-algebraic form.

Realistic micromagnetic description of all-optical ultrafast switching processes in ferrimagnetic alloys

description: Both helicity-independent and helicity-dependent all-optical switching processes driven by single ultrashort laser pulse have been experimentally demonstrated in ferrimagnetic alloys as GdFeCo. Although the switching has been previously reproduced by atomistic simulations, the lack of a robust micromagnetic framework for ferrimagnets limits the predictions to small nano-systems, whereas the experiments are usually performed with lasers and samples of tens of micrometers. Here we develop a micromagnetic model based on the extended Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation, which is firstly validated by directly reproducing atomistic results for small samples and uniform laser heating. After that, the model is used to study ultrafast single shot all-optical switching in ferrimagnetic alloys under realistic conditions. We find that the helicity-independent switching under a linearly polarized laser pulse is a pure thermal phenomenon, in which the size of inverted area directly correlates with the maximum electron temperature in the sample. On the other hand, the analysis of the helicity-dependent processes under circular polarized pulses in ferrimagnetic alloys with different composition indicates qualitative differences between the results predicted by the magnetic circular dichroism and the ones from inverse Faraday effect. Based on these predictions, we propose experiments that would allow to resolve the controversy over the physical phenomenon that underlies these helicity-dependent all optical processes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.To study inter-annual differences in drift patterns of larval sprat from the Bornholm Basin, we used a 3D, eddy-resolving circulation model of the Baltic Sea and simulated the drift of Lagrangian particles for each of 24 years (1979-2002) of available forcing data. We observed that in some years particles were transported almost completely out of the basin, whereas circulation in other years retained the majority of drifters within the seeding area (Bornholm Basin). A new retention index was derived that is associated to age 0 sprat recruitment in ICES Subdivision 25, estimated from area-disaggregated MSVPA runs. The significant linear relationship (P<0.018) between retention index and sprat recruitment explained 24% of the overall variability between 1979-2001. However, the correspondence has not been apparent during the 1980s, when both spawning stock biomasses and recruitment levels were consistently low in the central Baltic Sea. A strong positive coupling of recruitment success to basin retention was only seen during the last decade, characterized by relatively high levels of spawning stock biomass and a tremendous variability in sprat recruitment success. Retention indices corresponding to sprat larvae born late in the year (i.e. June) were much better correlated to recruitment success (R² > 80%) than those derived from particles released earlier into the model domain. This intra-annual pattern may suggest that recruitment success in central Baltic sprat was – at least during the last decade - predominantly determined by the relative survival of larval cohorts emerging late in the spawning season. The index is significantly cross-correlated to other environmental time series, most importantly annual surface temperature in August, which makes it difficult to conclude on the processes crucial for central Baltic sprat recruitment success.

description: Background: The study of the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer has revealed differences among them in terms of prognosis and response to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. However, the ability of intrinsic subtypes to predict benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy has only been examined in few studies. Methods: Gene expression-based intrinsic subtyping was performed in 228 breast tumors collected from two independent post-mastectomy clinical trials (British Columbia and the Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group 82b trials), where pre-menopausal patients with node-positive disease were randomized to adjuvant radiotherapy or not. All patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and a subgroup of patients underwent ovarian ablation. Tumors were classified into intrinsic subtypes: Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enriched, Basal-like and Normal-like using the research-based PAM50 classifier. Results: In the British Columbia study, patients treated with radiation had an overall significant lower incidence of locoregional recurrence compared to the controls. For Luminal A tumors the risk of loco-regional recurrence was low and was further lowered by adjuvant radiation. These findings were validated in the DBCG 82b study. The individual data from the two cohorts were merged, the hazard ratio (HR) for loco-regional recurrence associated with giving radiation was 0.34 (0.19 to 0.61) overall and 0.12 (0.03 to 0.52) for Luminal A tumors. Conclusions: In both postmastectomy trials, patients with Luminal A tumors turned out to have a significant lower incidence of loco-regional recurrence when randomized to adjuvant radiotherapy, leaving no indication to omit postmastectomy adjuvant radiation in pre-menopausal high-risk patients with Luminal A tumors. It was not possible to evaluate the effect of radiotherapy among the other subtypes because of limited sample sizes.

description: In this Letter we study theoretically the interaction of optical waves in nonlinear dynamical medium, i.e. medium with relaxation. Taking into account the relaxation of the photoinduced nonlinearity we derive a single evolution equation, namely the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with coefficients depending on parameters, for the case of degenerate two-wave mixing at the reflection geometry in bulk Kerr-like medium possessing a nonlocal nonlinear response. All coefficients of the single evolution equation for our system are written out explicitly in terms of initial parameters. This is the first analytical study of the evolution of nonlinear dynamical medium under the action of two wave mixing; usually, it is studied numerically or experimentally making use of some empirical assumptions. We briefly discuss various possible scenarios of energy transport in the frame of the novel equation.

description: Core–shell structured Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2 nanoparticles (Fe@Si-NPs) demonstrated outstanding potentials in drug targeting and delivery and medical imaging. However, they have limited clinical applications due to unknown chronic bio-effects and potential bio-related risks. In this study, the subchronic biological effects and metabolic fate of 20 nm Fe@Si-NPs in Sprague–Dawley rats in 12 weeks were investigated by the biochemical assay and NMR-based metabonomic analysis using an intravenous model. Biofluids (plasma and urine) analysis provided the transportation, absorption, and excretion information of Fe@Si-NPs. Urine metabonome displayed a metabolic recovery while self-regulation of plasma metabonome leaded to the parallel metabolic trends between dosed and control groups in 12 weeks. And biological tissues (spleen, liver, kidney, and lung) analysis indicated liver and spleen are the targeted-organs of Fe@Si-NPs. The obvious metabolic variations responding to the biodistribution were induced by Fe@Si-NPs although no visible toxic effects were observed in these tissues. Besides the common energy metabolism response to the xenobiotics, Fe@Si-NPs also disturbed the metabolic pathways in glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid metabolism, metabolisms of purine, pyrimidine, and nicotinate. Our results provide preliminary validation for the potential use of Fe@Si-NPs in clinical medicine and give identifiable ground for the dose selection and bio-nanoagent optimization.

description: Fat cow syndrome is an important problem in the dairy industry when large groups of cows are fed ad libitum. This is common where large amounts of corn silage are fed and attention is not paid to limiting access to concentrates. Various metabolic disorders threaten these cows, including fatty liver, ketosis, displaced abomasum, oxidative stress, hypocalcaemia, and reproductive problems. Nowadays, there isn't any way to reduce body condition score (BCS) except for diluting diet, resulting in lower milk production. We hypothesize that altering dietary composition can influence partitioning of nutrients toward the mammary gland rather than other body tissues. Our objective was to determine effects of replacing barley grain (glucogenic) with beet pulp (lipogenic) on milk fat and energy outputs and changes in BCS and external body fat thickness in over-conditioned, late lactation cows.

description: The exacerbating factors of myasthenia gravis (MG) are unknown. However, it has been speculated that infections may play a role in disease progression. We calculated the adjusted anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody (Adj-AChR-Ab) titers (range, 0–1) in 58 MG patients between 2006 and 2012. We determined the relationship between Adj-AChR-Ab titer and infection incidence. A cross-correlation function (CCF) analysis of Adj-AChR-Ab titer and incidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) (r = 0.449, P r = 0.411, P M. pneumoniae infection (r = 0.798, P M. pneumoniae (95% CI, 1.193–1.661 for an increase in one infected patient per monitoring point) and 1.158 for influenza (95% CI, 1.071–1.253 for 100 infected patients). Variation of Adj-AChR-Ab titer is significantly influenced by the presence of M. pneumoniae and influenza virus infections.

description: Neutrinos propagating in dense astrophysical environments sustain nonlinear refractive effects due to neutrino-neutrino forward scattering. We study geometric phases in neutrino oscillations that arise out of cyclic evolution of the potential generated by these forward-scattering processes. We perform several calculations, exact and perturbative, that illustrate the robustness of such phases, and of geometric effects more broadly, in the flavor evolution of neutrinos. The scenarios we consider are highly idealized in order to make them analytically tractable, but they suggest the possible presence of complicated geometric effects in realistic astrophysical settings. We also point out that in the limit of extremely high neutrino densities, the nonlinear potential in three flavors naturally gives rise to non-Abelian geometric phases. This paper is intended to be accessible to neutrino experts and non-specialists alike.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The period under discussion was characterized by two major inflow events in 1993 and 2003, each terminating a long-lasting stagnation period in the central Baltic Sea. In both cases, water renewing resulted in a remarkable ventilation of the deep basins. Thus, 3.50 ml/l oxygen were measured in May 1994 and 3.96 ml/l in May 2003 in the near-bottom layer at the central station in the eastern Gotland Basin, being the highest concentrations on record beside measurements during the 1930s. In addition to these strong and cold major Baltic inflows in winter, summer/autumn inflows of warm, saline and less oxygen-rich water were detected in 1997, 2002 and 2003. Especially the late-summer inflows in 2002 and 2003 seem to be a new, perhaps climate related phenomenon for the Baltic Sea, showing extraordinary peculiarities with unexpected impacts on the entire Baltic, and are not understood completely up to now. Long-lasting anoxic conditions result in conspicuous changes in the nutrient reservoirs. Phosphate and ammonium are enriched and nitrate is lost completely due to denitrification processes. Budget calculations in the eastern Gotland Basin showed that the amount of phosphate stored below the halocline increased up to 150% during the last stagnation period whereas the pool of inorganic nitrogen compounds decreased to 80%. Deep reaching vertical convection can supply the surface layer with these water masses rich in phosphate, but relatively poor in nitrate and ammonium. Large-scale blooms of algae, especially of cyanobacteria, can be induced this way.

description: A priority for the dairy industry is to optimize milk production while improving animal welfare, and more frequent milking is of interest for the dairy industries aiming to maximize milk production by technologies such as automatic milking systems to meet domestic demands for milk products. Cows in early lactation, especially when milked more than twice daily, will benefit from increased dietary energy density, thus reducing metabolic imbalances resulting in over-mobilized body tissues to sustain increased milk production. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of increasing dietary energy, protein density, and milking frequency (6x vs 3x) on performance of fresh lactating dairy cows.

description: The aim of this paper is to present some results concerning the $ρ_*$-orthogonality in real normed spaces and its preservation by linear operators. Among other things, we prove that if $T\,: X \longrightarrow Y$ is a nonzero linear $(I, ρ_*)$-orthogonality preserving mapping between real normed spaces, then $$\frac{1}{3}\|T\|\|x\|\leq\|Tx\|\leq 3[T]\|x\|, \qquad (x\in X)$$ where $[T]:=\inf\{\|Tx\|: \,x\in X, \|x\|=1\}$. We also show that the pair $(X,\perp_{ρ_*})$ is an orthogonality space in the sense of Rätz. Some characterizations of smooth spaces are given based on the $ρ_*$-orthogonality.

description: In this paper, we discuss how the concepts of Hamiltonian optics are internally connected to the scalar wave theory of light rays. It is shown that the solutions of the reduced wave equation are similar to Huygen's wavelets, and they can be used to understand Snell's law of refraction. This model can also be used to derive the coefficient of reflection consistent with Fresnel's equation for $s$-polarized light.

description: A novel frequency domain training sequence and the corresponding carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimator are proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over frequency-selective fading channels. The proposed frequency domain training sequence comprises two types of pilot tones, namely distinctively spaced pilot tones with high energies and uniformly spaced ones with low energies. Based on the distinctively spaced pilot tones, integer CFO estimation is accomplished. After the subcarriers occupied by the distinctively spaced pilot tones and their adjacent subcarriers are nulled for the sake of interference cancellation, fractional CFO estimation is executed according to the uniformly spaced pilot tones. By exploiting a predefined lookup table making the best of the structure of the distinctively spaced pilot tones, computational complexity of the proposed CFO estimator can be decreased considerably. With the aid of the uniformly spaced pilot tones generated from Chu sequence with cyclically orthogonal property, the ability of the proposed estimator to combat multipath effect is enhanced to a great extent. Simulation results illustrate the good performance of the proposed CFO estimator.

description: An endophytic fungus, Colletotrichum sp. F168, was isolated from plant Huperzia serrata (Thunb. ex Murray) Trev. and was subjected to phytochemical investigation. Nine compounds including two new structures were obtained from SDA solid fermentation products of strain F168, which were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1 D- and 2 D-NMR, and HR-MS experiments. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of two new compounds 1-2 was tested in vitro. Two new compounds didn’t show evident acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity.

description: Dairy cows require sufficient protein in the diet to optimize microbial growth and adequate amounts of essential AA to be available in the small intestine to provide for their increased metabolic and lactation demands. Soybean meal (SBM) is the most commonly used protein supplement and is an excellent supplemental protein in dairy diets because of good palatability, as well as high availability and similar AA balance relative to the composition of milk protein. However, relative to other protein sources, SBM has a low AA efficiency because of extensive ruminal degradation. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effectiveness of xylose-treated of soybean meal (XSBM) on the productive performance of lactating cows fed XSBM as the major source of rumen undegradable protein (RUP).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In summer1999 the appearance of predatory Ponto-Caspian Cladocera Cercopages pengoi recorded for the first time in the Baltic region (the Gulf of Riga) in 1992 was observed in the southeastern Baltic Sea. During five-year observation period (1999-2003) the shallow coastal zone was the permanent distribution area of C. pengoi with maximum abundance in July over the depths from 5 to 30 m. In the deep-water open sea this species abundance was lower up to complete absence in 2001. C. pengoi population in the southeastern Baltic Sea is characterized by considerable inter-annual abundance variability with maximum values in 2001 and 2003. C. pengoi was found in July-August at the sea surface temperature from 14,6° to 21,6° C . The analysis of air temperature anomalies for 50-year period following the final formation of the Volga-Baltic waterway (the Mariinski water system) showed that C. pengoi invasion into the Baltic Sea coincided with the second maximum of summer air temperature and the main maximum of mean winter-spring air temperatures in this region. It is assumed that development of wintering latent eggs of this species may be blocked after anomalously cold winters as a result of prolonged retention of cold near-bottom water layer in shallow areas. C. pengoi invasion into the Baltic region is considered as the induced by the anthropogenic impact phenomenon of thermophilic biota extension to the north owing to the climate warming.
