Jatropha as a medicinal plant has been very widely used. Among them can cure rheumatic joints, tetanus, epilepsy, and bronchitis in children. Jatropha sap can be used as an antimicrobial, relieves wound bleeding, treats digestive disorders, and treats mouth sores and toothaches. Many people still use traditional medicine to treat wounds. One that is used to treat wounds is jatropha sap. This study aims to determine the effect of the incision wound healing in mice (Mus Musculus) by giving Jatropha sap (Jatropha curcas, Linn) seen from the disappearance of inflammation dryness wounds and the tightening of the skin. This study uses a descriptive method through laboratory tests. Based on the study results, it is known that Jatropha sap has the effect of healing incise wounds in female mice, seen from the elimination of inflammation, drying of the wounds to the closure of the skin (granulation) compared to negative controls.

SUMMARYThe properties of 5-p-chlorophenyl silatrane as a rodenticide against Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus were investigated in the laboratory. The high oral toxicity of the compound was confirmed. When the compound was given to laboratory rats and mice by stomach tube at lethal dosages, signs of poisoning were observed within a minute. When caged wild rats and mice were given a choice between plain and poisoned baits the optimum rodenticidal concentration in the bait was about 0.5% for both species, producing 50% mortality in wild rats and 95% mortality in wild mice. The results are discussed in relation to safety in use and the probable effectiveness of the compound as a rodenticide in field conditions.

Laboratory tests were carried out to assess the efficacy of gophacide as a rodenticide against the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) and the house mouse (Mus musculus). Results of feeding tests with wild animals suggest that the compound would be more useful against mice than rats, and that 0.3% would be a near optimal concentration for field trials for both species.The hazards of using gophacide as a rodenticide are discussed.

Using the haematocrit centrifuge technique, 53 of 619 small mammals from seven areas in southern Ontario were found to be infected with three species of trypanosomes. Trypanosoma microti was found in 10 of 374 (2.7%) Microtus pennsylvanicus examined from two of five locations. Thirty-five of 102 (34%) of Tamias striatus from one area were infected with Trypanosoma tamiasi and over 94% (33 of 35) of the infected animals were juveniles. This would indicate that the trypanosome is primarily a parasite of juveniles. A trypanosome which was tentatively identified as Trypanosoma soricis was found in 8 of 36 (22%) Blarina brevicauda; it was recorded from two of four areas where the shrews were caught. A detailed description of the trypanosome was given because the original description was inadequate. No trypanosome was found in 74 Peromyscus maniculatus, 31 Mus musculus, and 2 Zapus hudsonius examined.

The present investigation compares performance and learning of 3 groups of adult mice: Mus musculus (wild and C57BL/6J) and Peromyscus maniculatus Bairdii on 2 types of water maze (spatial or visual) under 4 levels of motivation (55, 75, 95, or 115°F water temperature). The wild Mus learned most rapidly, the Peromyscus being the slowest to learn. Extremes of water temperature and the spatial discrimination task facilitated performance and learning.

1. Antigenic polymorphism between individuals of the subspecies Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis is demonstrated.2. Absorption analysis of heteroimmune rabbit sera using erythrocytes of individual mice revealed two unitary complete (saline) agglutinins, designated as anti-A and anti-B, reactive to erythrocytic antigens in this species.Isoimmunization apparently demonstrated these same antigenic differences.3. The two antigenic characters (A and B) defined by the agglutinins are inherited as if simply related to allelic factors designated PmA and PmB respectively.4. These two antigens are found in representatives of both the subspecies P. m. gracilis and P. m. bairdii, and, in addition, the A antigen was observed in a laboratory stock of P. polionotus. Tested individuals of the species P. leucopus and Mus musculus, however, possessed neither antigen, and samples of human blood also lacked both antigens.5. Species-specific agglutinins distinguishing individuals of the species P. leucopus and P. maniculatus, and population-specific agglutinins which distinguished between individuals of the subspecies P. m. bairdii and P. m. gracilis, have been observed.
