Page 14 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1974 Vet school developing area Aquatic bacteria identified The Aquatic Animal Medicine Laboratory is churning through mostly uncharted waters, trying to get information on bacteria and parasites that infect animals in marine and fresh water. “Aquatic microbiology is still an undeveloped area, explains Dr. D. H. Lewis, project researcher from the Microbiology Department at tbe College of Veterinary Medicine. “We don’t expect to discover any thing earth-shaking here, but we’re laying tbe groundwork for someone else,’’ agrees Dr. R. R. Bell, team member and bead of the Parasitol ogy Department. “What we re doing here is for the future.” Knowing the importance of con trolled conditions in any experi ment, one of the first major goals of the project has been to establish a lab is which both marine and fresh water animals can be maintained and tested. “Aquatic animals have a more var iable environment—the quality can change suddenly and drastically. So we had to have a lab in which we could control and observe the envi ronment,’ explains Lewis. But that is just part of the work. Since the program began to develop in 1970, the researchers have de veloped methods to find aiid iden tify aquatic bacteria and parasites. Dr. R. A. Bendele, pathologist, and Dr. B. J. Camp of the physiol ogy and pharmacology department are also team members on the pro ject, funded through the Sea Grant Program by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NO A A). One result of the groundwork is publication of a bibliography of ex isting research material on fish and shellfish compiled by the team while poring over literature and in terviews in preliminary studies. Tools and procedures are being developed on campus, relying where possible on the same or simi lar methods used with warm blooded aimals. “We have found that certain fish and shellfish produce antibody-like materials in a way similar to higher forms of animals, ” Lewis says. “These are all questions about which very little is known, ” he says. Tools and procedures are still only part of the picture. Treatment is another thing, say the researchers. Certain drugs may MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY In High school I majored in ag riculture (I was a Lone Star Farmer) (tbe state’s highest award), also mathematics, and science. How ever, in the university, I realized that modern farming was not com plete with out engineering, so in the university that I attended, before I went into the military service 1943 - 1945, I took electrical engineering for about 3 years 1940 - 1943. My age at that time was 18 to 20. After being in the service, I was discharged October 1945, I became interested in the operation of a large company, which I worked for 1945 - 1964. This gave me actual experi ence working with large companies as well as labor. A very valuable ex perience in government concerning this section of the economy. However, at this time, 1964, I realized that the whole economy had to be coordinated together, so I established my own business of Economics, Financial Manage ment, which does include all the engineerings including energy en gineering, money management for big and small companies, for indi viduals, and all other phases of the economy. It is my opinion that the world of economics consist of more than supply and demand, but the use of money for instrumentation of coordination of big companies, small companies, individuals, and all others in the nation. I was the Republican nominee for the U. S. Representative in the 1972 election of the 6th Congressional District, which I received about 38, (XX) votes, or about 27% of the votes of the 6th Congressional Dis trict. I believe that I can pick up the otljer 23% of the votes to win in 1974. By Carl A. Nigliazzo Candidate for U. S. Representative 6th Congressional District PD. POL. ADV., BY CARL A. NIG LIAZZO, OCT. 11, 1974 work fine on warm-blooded animals and kill the fish. Or treatment work ing fine in the lab may fizzle in the field. “I can show you something that might work in the lab, but not in the field. But there are very few things that work in the field that won’t work in the lab,” notes Bell. “That’s why labwork is so important.” Because of the virtually untapped information fish diseases and bac teria in the aquatic environment, any new chance to gain knowledge or view disease first-hand is jumped at by the team. To that end they usually respond when called in to investigate large fish kills. Most of the bacteria or parasites that would kill a fish or invade the “herd” on a fish farm are not particu larly harmful to man or the higher animals. Some tend to equate disease in fish with disease in other animals. Transmission seems rare from an aquatic animal to a higher animal or man,” Lewis explains. But what about other kinds of aquatic life? How do the cold blooded aquatic animals respond to disease? How does the disease pro cess compare with that of the warm-blooded animal? How does repair or production of body de fenses compare? Aggie Special Drink & Drown 807 Texas Ave. Across From College EVERY WEDNESDAY NITE Girls 2.00 . .
