The presence of Deleted Genomes has been shown in a number of viral models including Hepadnaviridae. The analysis of woodchuck hepatitis B virus (WHV) population after experimental infection of woodchuck 197 (W197) with WHV7-PI inoculum revealed the presence of two Deleted Genomes: DG600 lacking a 1330 bp region (Core/Polymerase/PreS1) and DG900 showing a deletion of 869 nts (Pol/PreS/S). These mutants were also present in WHV7-PI. The successive WHV experimental infections in adult animals were performed using W197-w7 inoculum containing DG600 and DG900. Infections were divided into three groups presenting different patterns of viral replication, different presence of markers, occurrence of variants and persistence of infection. The first group displayed 2-3 weeks viremic phase and WHV-DNA titres of 10-30 ng/ml; the second a longer viremic phase (8-9 weeks) and higher WHV-DNA titres (up to 78 ng/ml). In contrast, the third group exhibited lifetime presence of WHV-DNA and WHVeAg in serum and viral replication in liver. The Deleted Genomes were transmitted in the newly infected animals with the same genomic organization. DG600 was persistently found only in chronically infected woodchuck, whereas a different pattern of presence was described for DG900. The characterization of these classes of deleted mutants in woodchuck-WHV model raises new questions on the link between DGs and persistent infections.

Mammal communities were studied from May through August, 1988 to 1990, at four wetland sites in Coshocton and Muskingum counties, OH. Sites represented varying degrees of disturbance from mining activity and subsequent reclamation techniques, including a wetland constructed to treat mine water drainage. Each site was composed of a series of three cattail (Typba latifolid) cells for a balanced experimental design. Mammals were inventoried with snap trap removal grids and midday surveys for signs of activity. Mammal diversity and richness was highest at the constructed wetland and lowest at the site established with traditional reclamation procedures. Predictable patterns of land use disturbance for species presence/absence were observed with some alpha diversity (habitat specific) species being absent (i.e., tree squirrels) and gamma diversity (wide-ranging) species such as mustelids occurring rarely. Beta diversity species (habitat generalists) like woodchucks (Marmota monax) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were common at all sites. The white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) was the small mammal captured most frequently, being the most abundant small mammal at the constructed wetland and the undisturbed site, with meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) most prevalent at the remaining sites. These results suggest that a wetland constructed for the treatment of mine water drainage can provide secondary benefits as habitat for a variety of mammal species.

En anglais, in English.

The bacteriology and heterotrophic activity of a stream and of nearby groundwater in Marmot Basin, Alberta, Canada, were studied. Acridine orange direct counts indicated that bacterial populations in the groundwater were greater than in the stream. Bacteria that were isolated from the groundwater were similar to species associated with soils. Utilization of labile dissolved organic material as measured by the heterotrophic potential technique with glutamic acid, phenylalanine, and glycolic acid as substrates was generally greater in the groundwater. In addition, specific activity indices for the populations suggested greater metabolic activity per bacterium in the groundwater. 14C-labeled lignocellulose, preferentially labeled in the lignin fraction by feeding Picea engelmannii [14C]phenylalanine, was mineralized by microorganisms in both the groundwater and the stream, but no more than 4% of the added radioactivity was lost as 14CO2 within 960 h. Up to 20% of [3'-14C]cinnamic acid was mineralized by microorganisms in both environments within 500 h. Both microbial populations appear to influence the levels of labile and recalcitrant dissolved organic material in mountain streams.

The hoary marmot from Montague Island, southcentral Alaska, was classified as a distinct subspecies based on smaller size and skull characteristics relative to other island and mainland populations. The taxonomic validity of the Montague Island marmot (Marmota caligata sheldoni) is questionable as conclusions were based on the analysis of no more than eight specimens. With the exception of one relatively recent sight record, Montague Island marmots have not been reported or collected since the early 1900s. A conservation concern exists, particularly owing to the unknown population status and questionable taxonomy of this island endemic subspecies that may be negatively affected by land management practices.

Dopo aver richiamato alcuni concetti base sul ruolo che i parassiti svolgono all'interno di un organismo e/o di una popolazione animale, vengono prospettate alcune problematiche ad essi correlate. Attraverso un'analisi di alcuni lavori effettuati su Marmota marmota e M. monax emerge in particolare l'esigenza di una più approfondita conoscenza dei parassiti che colpiscono il roditore ed una migliore definizione del rapporto parassitaospite, soprattutto se da indicazioni di base si voglia affrontare correttamente anche un discorso di tipo gestionale. Tale esigenza puo essere ancora più sentita nell'ambito di un parco nazionale, dove la definizione della situazione sanitaria delle diverse specie animali presenti assume un significato particolare al fine di assicurare loro un duraturo benessere.

Based on the analysis of HDV genomes from different areas of the world, three genotypes of HDV have been identified. Genotype I is the most prevalent and widespread. Genotype II is represented by two isolates from Japan and Taiwan. Genotype III has been found only in the Amazonian basin where it is associated with a history of severe disease, fulminant hepatitis with microvesicular steatosis (spongiocytosis). We report here the cloning and the analysis of the complete viral genome from woodchuck serum-derived HDV RNA after transmission from Central African Republic (RCA) patients with fulminant spongiocytic delta hepatitis. Two overlapping cDNA fragments, covering the entire HDV genome, were generated by RT-PCR and cloned. Three clones obtained from each fragment were fully sequenced. A complete consensus RCA HDV genome was reconstituted. The individual and the consensus nucleotide sequences were compared with those of 16 other fully sequenced isolates belonging to the three genotypes. Phylogenetic trees generated by the neighbour joining method firmly place our isolate in genotype I, and show that this RCA isolate differs significantly from the east African isolates previously analysed. Transfection experiments showed that the isolate is replication-competent, but less so than the control "wild-type" strain. Two novel mutations encountered in this work, one in the antigenomic ribozyme sequence and one affecting delta antigen, were studied.

The Author makes a synthesis of the distribution of the alpine marmot (Marmota m. marmota (L., 1758)) in the extreme north eastern Italy (Friuli-Venezia Giulia region). The present occurrence of the ground-dwelling Sciuridae in this area is entirely due to various reintroduction projects of italian, austrian and jugoslavian organizations and at it may be surely considered very appreciable particularly in the north west of the Camic Alp mountain chain. The species had been also widely spread in Julian Alps and in Julian and Carnic Prealps, but in these areas there are only scattered and fragmented populations which few possibilities of interpopulational conact. This is due to the particular orography and climate of these mountain chain, which are quite low and cut by a lot of deep valleys. In these environmental situations it is very important to continue the reintroduction - or restocking - activities for ecological reasons as well as for conservational purposes, but these operations must follow precise objectives. These must be summarized as follow: I - It may be selected only rocky herbaceous areas before the local upper trees line with a minimal extension of 300 hectares. II -In this area the better period of the year for these operations is the half of may.
III - The release of 20 specimens in a locality is the minimum objective for a single reintroduction.

A rich sedimentary deposit reaches a depth of more than 4 m in a cave located on the Eardley Escarpment in the Gatineau Park. Analysis shows that the infilling started during the last Ice Age. Following the deglaciation and the Champlain Sea retreat, terrestrial sedimentation began. Radiocarbon dating of wood charcoal indicates that around 9200 ± 110 years BP trees and shrubs were starting to grow on the Eardley Escarpment. A fauna, with boreal affinity, including the Ungava collared lemming (Dicrostonyx hudsonius), was living in vegetation dominated by jack pine. After 8170 ±60 years BP, the boreal forest was replaced by a mixed forest dominated by white pine, oak, and red maple. The faunal assemblage was enriched at that time by woodland vole (Microtus pinetorum) and Strobilops aenea, a terrestrial mollusk. These two species are presently living in the Carolinian Life Zone south of the Great Lakes. By around 5742 ± 120 years BP these two species had left the site, and the modern fauna was established with mammals, such as the black bear and the white-tailed deer. Holocene infilling of the cave was gravity driven and unassisted, except for an episode just before 8170 ± 60 years BP when a sand layer was deposited by water coming from the surface.
Une riche séquence sédimentaire de 4 m d’épaisseur est présente dans une caverne située sur l’Escarpement d’Eardley, dans le Parc de la Gatineau. Son étude montre que la sédimentation terrestre continentale a commencé après la déglaciation et le retrait de la mer de Champlain. D’après l’analyse des charbons de bois, les arbres et les arbustes poussaient sur l’Escarpement d’Eardley vers 9200 ± 110 années BP. Une faune, avec des affinités boréales, incluant le lemming d’Ungava (Dicrostonyx hudsonius), vivait dans cette végétation dominée par le pin. Après 8170 ± 60 années BP la forêt boréale a été remplacée par une forêt mixte dominée par le pin blanc, le chêne et l’érable à sucre. L’assemblage faunistique a été enrichi en même temps par un mammifère, le campagnol sylvestre (Microtus pinetorum) et un mollusque terrestre: Strobilops aenea. Ces deux espèces vivent actuellement dans la Zone Carolinienne localisée au sud des Grands Lacs. Vers 5742 ± 120 années BP, elles ont disparu du site et la faune moderne s’est établie, avec notamment des espèces comme l’ours noir et le chevreuil de Virginie. La sédimentation a été de type gravitaire, pendant tout l’Holocène sauf un peu avant 8170 ± 60 années BP, où un ruissellement venant de la surface a mis en place une couche de sable.

En français, in French.
Since 1989 a coordinated programme of research is performed on Alpine Marmot populations in order to define scientific basis for their management.
1. Sociospatial behaviour = living in family groups. We have shawn that marmots were ensocial animals - groups are composed of one male and only one reproductive female - the youngs of two or three former litter live together with the parents - reproduction seems to occur every two years - home range slightly overlap (10-15%) and range from 2 to 5 ha. Behaviour distribution show change according to time and space.
2. Settlment site selection. Main burrow systems are not dug at random - prefered ecological factors are medium slope, mixed vegetation and rock areas, southern exposure and a low anthropogenic pressure. A generalized linear model was defined for settelment.
3. Scent marking. Scent marking allow marmots to distinguish self-marked object from allo-marked object-frequency of scent marking is much higher near main burrow system than at the border of the home range - scent marking frequency decreases during sumner season - adults marked more than youngs.
4. Monitoring reintroduction. Marmot is the most often (re) introduced manmal in France - an assessment of reintroductions is in progress. Two (re) introductions sites are studied : one reintroduced last year, the other since 40s years. A new section of this programme is beginning including physiological, neurosensory, endocrinological, parasitological, socioeconomical and ethnobiological aspects - ten laboratories are working under my coordination with the support of the CNRS (equivalent in France of Academy of Sciences in Russia).

In Alpine environments, marmots are an important cause of landscape animation and are very attractive for summer tourists. A study of different ecological factors such as altitude, sun exposure, slope, plant cover has been performed on three marmot populations in the Alps. The study allowed the description of the impact of marmots on landscape and showed a preference for particular kinds of mountain landscape. Impact on landscape : marmots mark the landscape in two main ways. The first impact is their action on plant association when foraging. Plant removal has an effect on the maintenance of the open Alpine meadows. The selective grazing activity of marmots can compensate the decrease of pasture use by sheep and cattle which is occurring now in most parts of European mountains and which will extend in the coming years. The second impact is ground directed and related to digging activities of marmots. Alpine marmots use to dig numerous burrows (up to 400 per ha) even if they use regularly only a main burrow system. Old installed marmots use the same main burrow system during many years leading to mounds of more than one meter high and two or three meters in diameter. Such building appears on aerial photographs. The long term use of a place is also indicated by the presence of paths, of scratched areas and in some places of latrines. In sensitive geological areas, marmots can have an important action as erosive agents. On steep slopes they can induce landslides. Burrows are long lasting indices of marmot presence in a landscape and they can be used to analyse areas occupied by these animals thirty or forty years before. Selection of settlement site : The analysis of 88 plots of a quarter of Ha each allowed to define a generalised linear model showing a non randomised selection of landscape type. Slopes are preferred to flat areas. Mixed vegetation and rock areas are preferred to only rock or only plant areas. Southern or Eastern exposure are preferred to Northern or Western exposures. The selection of site settlement by marmots has consequences to particularise the mountain landscape as these places will be more frequented by hikers during summer, inducing other erosive effects and damage to landscape and plant communities.

Alpine marmots (Marmota marmota, Sciuridae) live only in mountain environments where they occupy open areas covered by Alpine meadows. The selection of such an ecosystem leads to an active competition with anthropogenic use of the land. Marmots are confronted with either game pressure, or agricultural pressure (hay cutting or dog shepherd) or to hiker presence in summer. In winter, skiing and other snow activities also have consequences on the availability of the space that marmots can occupy. A study of site selection for marmot settlement showed that marmots avoided places where agricultural activities (hay cutting) are important (in relation with non friend behaviour of farmers such as burrow blocking with stones, use of dogs or irrigation of the fields). The recent use of fertilisers, on the contrary, attracts marmots especially in spring when they have a specific hunger for salt. It seemed that agricultural pressure induces seasonal displacements during the hot season between “winter burrows” and “summer burrows” when in other places marmots have a single system of burrows. The presence of hikers acted on marmots in a different manner. The presence of hikers or marmot watchers did not seem to be a real constraint although food intake could be disturbed limiting fat accumulation for winter hibernation. An incidence appeared on the daily rhythm of marmots which was deeply diphasic with a large “break” at noon in touristic places and only a small depletion in non touristic places. The frequency of outside latrines seems to be a good indicator of the disturbance of a marmot population in a given environment. Game influence has not been taken into account because marmots do not seem to interest hunters any longer in France.

On the example of study of the marmot population (Marmota bobak) in Chelyabinsk Oblast in the summer of l992, new information vas obtained on the effect of anthropogenic and ecological factors. and also their joint action on marmot settlement. lt is necessary to stuty population dynamics in order to exactly determine the level (number) of marmots to be taken by sex and age. Such study is the only scientifcally substantiated way to guarantee long-term use of biological resources. A greater number of marmots was noted outside the boundaries of the reserve than inside it,. 33 and 10 individuals per l km2, respectively. The maximum number of marmots is found in the steppe; fewer, in perennial grasses; and the least, in fields of annual crops.

The behavioural ecology of the Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota, Linnaeus, 1758) has been studied in the French AIps since springtime l990. The aim of this study is to understand the socio-spatial structure of this species and to compare it to that of North-American species from an evolutionnary and ecoIogical point of view (Armitage, 1988; Barash, 1974). Four neighbouring social units were studied during two years from June to the end of September (onset of hibernation) in the Nature Reserve of La Grande Sassière (Vanoise National Park, Savoie, France). Observations were performed by scan sampling or ad libitum to establish the ethogram. The social unit was the family, group, composed of an adult male, an adult female, and their offspring of the two previous years (Arnold 1979). The group shared a common home range, the size of which varied from 0.9 to 2.8 ha with an overlapping rate of 9 to 12.5%. The home range included a central Main Burrow System (MBS : hibernaculum, sleep and birth place) and peripheral areas with auxilliary burrows or shelters. Temporal and spatial distribution of activities were established by taking into account behavioural patterns of both individuals and social encounters. Results showed the general pattern for both spatial and temporal activitie to be under the influence of day and seasonal variation. All activities were performed on the MBS, but some of them were specific to this area. Peripheral areas were mainly used for foraging. Activity increased in August and decreased in September and was gradually concentrated in the vicinity of the MBS. Differences between groups were considerable and related at least to social factors (group structure) and spatial factors (home-range structure and size). The social structure of Marmota marmota seems to be closer to the structure of M. caligata and M. olympus, as predicted by Barash, than to the structure of M. flaviventris or M. monax.

A preliminary experiment was performed in Les Ecrins National Park during the spring of 1992 in order to determine trauma-free methods of trapping Alpine marmots. Three kinds of traps were tested (jaw traps, l-door ad 2-door boxes). Jaw traps were the most effective traps but also caused much trauma (high rate of wounds, haematoma, death). Consequently jaw traps should not be used for marmot management.

Des chercheurs russes, kazakhs, ukrainiens, italiens, espagnols et français se sont associés pour réaliser le programme INTAS 93-161.Les principaux objectifs étaient : 1. d’inventorier les marmottes dans les différents pays ; 2- analyser la dynamique de la ressource sur le terrain ; 3- de préserver, in situ et ex situ, la diversité génétique de six espèces de marmottes eurasiatiques (Marmota bobac, M. baibacina, M. caudata, M. marmota, M. camtschatica, M. menzbieri). Des programmes de capture-marquage-recapture ont été mis en place et ainsi que des bases de données écologiques, comportementales et d’échantillons de tissus de marmottes, données réunies au cours de six expéditions. Les cartes de distribution des espèces ont été réactualisées en Russie, au Kazakhstan, en Espagne et en France. Les populations de M. bobac sont en augmentation ainsi que l’aire de distribution de M. marmota. Celles de M. camtschatica et M. menzbieri sont en forte réduction et nécessitent des mesures de protection. Des suivis de réintroductions ont été réalisés en Russie (M. bobac, région de la Volga ; M. camtschatica, Kamtchatka), en Ukraine (M. bobac), au Kazakhstan (M. baibacina) et dans les états de l’Union Européenne (M. marmota) et le processus de colonisation de cette dernière espèce a été étudié. L’organisation spatiale et sociale des différentes espèces ont été précisées. Le rôle de la relation marmotte-puce dans le maintien de foyers de peste au Kazakhstan a été analysé. Les conditions de l’élevage des marmottes ont été étudiées dans des fermes expérimentales. La variabilité des différentes espèces de marmottes a été comparée au niveau morphologique, génétique et comportemental. En particulier, l’existence de deux sous-espèces de M. bobac et de trois sous-espèces de M. camtschatica a été confirmée. Cet effort de recherche a produit 120 publications scientifiques et rapports dont les résultats ont été présentés dans trois Conférences internationales et deux séminaires nationaux.

Marmota marmota, France.
Since 1990, four research programs on the alpine marmot were conducted in France and results were exemplified by a study of the publications. Early results were submitted to previous conferences. Since then, the studies dealt with age, determination of live-trapped alpine marmots, the mass growth pattern of young marmots, a microsatellite polymorphism and behavioural analysis of the mating system of marmots and a molecular phylogeny of Sciuridae species and with marmot management aspects such as parasitism influence on marmots, development of a census method, post-release monitoring and economical evaluation of the re-introductions, effects of anthropogenic pressure on the plasticity of marmot behaviour, and development of national charter of re-introduction of the alpine marmot. A holistic view of this mammal emerged from this co-operation that permitted consideration of the alpine marmot as one part of our national patrimony.
Key-words: M. marmota, biometry, management, mating system, colonization, phylogeny, human disturbance.
Depuis 1990, quatre programmes de recherche sur la marmotte alpine ont été financés. Les premiers résultats ont été présentés lors de précédentes conférences.Depuis, des études portant sur la détermination de l’âge, les patrons de croissance des jeunes, le système d’appariement des marmottes et la phylogénie moléculaire des Sciuridés, ont été réalisées ainsi que sur certains aspects de gestion de la ressource : méthode de comptage, suivi post-réintroductions, effet du parasitisme et du dérangement humain sur le comportement des marmottes, débouchant sur la préparation d’une charte nationale de réintroduction. Une vue holistique de la marmotte ressort de ces différentes approches et permet de considérer la marmotte alpine comme un élément de notre patrimoine national.

Nous suggérons que soit créé un Observatoire international pour la conservation du genre Marmota. Il assurerait les taches suivantes : recueil d’information (effectif des populations, évolution des milieux naturels, prélèvements, épizooties, etc.) à travers un réseau de volontaires agréés ; mise à disposition de l’information sur le site Internet du RMI ; définition du statut de conservation de chaque espèce ; situation des espèces et populations par pays ; publication chaque année d’un bilan de la conservation des marmottes au niveau mondial. L’évaluation des niveaux de menace pourrait se faire en utilisant les catégories proposées par UICN et ce résultat pourrait être communiquée à la Commission de Spécialiste des Rongeurs de l’UICN chaque année. La mise en place de cet observatoire ne demande pas de moyens particuliers. L’information recueillie par les volontaires au niveau de chaque pays hébergeant des marmottes serait collecter, synthétiser et publier par une cellule. Une partie du site Internet pourrait être consacré à cet observatoire. Des messages urgents ou de préoccupations particulières pourraient être publiés.

The aim of this paper is to bring new information on the current state of development of the most comprehensive online bibliography for the Genus Marmota. Ten years after it was launched, the bibliographic resource has evolved. The current state is the result of collaboration of different researchers (French, Russian, American, Uzbek and so on). The data are now approaching ten thousands references.The increase is mainly due to the opening to different fields few explored before Montreux. That is pathology and researches related to Viral hepatitis, and paleontology and archaeology with the discover of marmot remains in a lot of prehistoric deposits. Cultural aspects of Marmots are also considered such as carving, literature or history. In order to facilitate the consultation of Bibliographia Marmotarum, a MySQL database and a PHP search engine have been elaborated. The interface is currently working in French, English and Russian. The use languages could be extended to any other languages using UTF encoding. For many recent papers, abstracts and full texts are available online. A collaboration is expected in the frame of the International Marmot Network to receive all the new references published and when possible the full-text electronic files.

Sono stati comparati 4 diversi sistemi di cattura di Marmotta dal punto di vista tecnico, economico ed etico. Da queste indagini emergono, come particolarmente interessanti, le gabbie a uno o due ingressi (stress ridotto e traumatismi rari). Le tagliole, al contrario, se pur modificate e malgrado la loro grande efficacia, devono essere fortemente sconsigliate sia dal punto di vista etico (traumatismi assai rilevanti), sia da quello scientifico (cattura-ricattura occasionale). l lacci alla tana si sono rivelati molto interessanti sia sul piano etico che su queIlo economico; il loro impiego è, tuttavia, assai delicato.

Antiviral activity of beta-L-2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydro-5-fluorocytidine in woodchucks chronically infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 45(4): 1065-77.
En anglais, in English.

The L-nucleoside analog beta-L-2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydro-5-fluorocytidine (beta-L-Fd4C) was first shown to exhibit potent activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in tissue culture and then to significantly inhibit viral spread during acute infection in the duck HBV model (F. Le Guerhier et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 44:111-122, 2000). We have therefore examined its antiviral activity in a mammalian model of chronic HBV infection, the woodchuck chronically infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV). Side-by-side comparison of beta-L-Fd4C and lamivudine administered intraperitoneally during short-term and long-term protocols demonstrated a more profound inhibition of viremia in beta-L-Fd4C-treated groups. Moreover, beta-L-Fd4C induced a marked inhibition of intrahepatic viral DNA synthesis compared with that induced by lamivudine. Nevertheless, covalently closed circular (CCC) DNA persistence explained the lack of clearance of infected hepatocytes expressing viral antigens and the relapse of WHV replication after drug withdrawal. Liver histology showed a decrease in the inflammatory activity of chronic hepatitis in woodchucks receiving beta-L-Fd4C. An electron microscopy study showed the absence of ultrastructural changes of hepatic mitochondria, biliary canaliculi, and bile ducts. However, a loss of weight was observed in all animals, whatever the treatment, as was a transient skin pigmentation in all woodchucks during beta-L-Fd4C treatment. There was no evidence that lamivudine or beta-L-Fd4C could prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma with the protocols used. These results indicate that beta-L-Fd4C exhibits a more potent antiviral effect than lamivudine in the WHV model but was not able to eradicate CCC DNA and infected cells from the liver at the dosage and with the protocol used.

Periods of mating, gestation, parturition, appearance of young from the burrow, and litter size differ as a result of latitude and altitude. During summer, marmots accumulate fat reserves, and weight loss during hibernation can be as much as 37 percent of total body weight. Marmots are monestrous, having one estrous cycle per year.

En anglais, in English.

Woodchucks free from woodchuck hepatitis virus were treated with diethylnitrosamine in vivo for 2 months, and then hepatocytes obtained by enzymatic perfusion were cultured with the hepatopromoter phenobarbital. This in vivo-in vitro procedure gave rise to proliferating epithelial cell foci, from one of which the presently described hepatocyte cell line (WLC-3) was established and characterized. WLC-3 cells possess morphological and biochemical features of differentiated hepatocytes, including glucose-6-phosphatase activity and albumin production. Histopathological analysis of the tumor which developed transitorily in nude mouse subcutis after inoculation of the cell line revealed glandular structures comprising cells of hepatocellular-like morphology. This is the first established woodchuck hepatocyte cell line free from woodchuck hepatitis virus and is therefore expected to be useful for studying the mode of gene expression and viral proliferation of woodchuck hepatitis virus and the mechanisms underlying woodchuck hepatitis virus-related hepatocarcinogenesis.

En anglais, in English.
Polymerized human serum albumin may play a role in the entry of hepatitis B virus into hepatocytes, and antibodies to polyalbumin that frequently appear during acute hepatitis may aid the process of viral clearance. We developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies to polymerized woodchuck albumin to enable us to evaluate further the role of these antibodies in an animal model system. Sera from 17 uninfected adult woodchucks and 8 newborns showed no binding to control plates coated with woodchuck transferrin, woodchuck albumin, or polymerized human serum albumin. One of 8 newborn animals demonstrated a significant antibody titer to polymerized woodchuck albumin, and 16 of 17 adults without evidence of prior woodchuck hepatitis virus infection had measurable serum antibody titers. Antibodies to polymerized woodchuck albumin could be adsorbed by prior incubation with the antigen. In 2 animals subjected to experimental infection, significant rises in polyalbumin antibody were seen. When 4 adult woodchucks were immunized with woodchuck polyalbumin, significant increases in antibody titer were observed in 2 of the 4 animals. Of the 4 immunized and 4 controls subsequently challenged with woodchuck hepatitis virus, 7 became viremic and all 8 developed antibody to woodchuck hepatitis virus core antigen. We conclude that naturally occurring antibodies to polymerized woodchuck albumin are observed in most adult woodchucks in the absence of woodchuck hepatitis virus infection and do not seem to confer immunity against infection with this virus.

Mammals that hibernate must rely on endogenous lipid reserves to survive over winter. This study was conducted to compare the difference in serum fatty acid composition, dietary intake, and apparent digestibility in the Vancouver Island marmot (N = 6) fed the Metro Zoo lagomorph diet supplemented with alpha-linolenic acid (C(18:3) n-3 (alpha-LA)). The experiment was designed as a 3 X 3 Latin square with three 17-day collection periods. The test diets contained 12.16, 14.85, and 17.05% alpha-LA as a percentage of fatty acids in the diet supplied through the addition of flaxseed oil (apprx53% alpha-LA). Across treatments, dry matter intake (g/d), dry matter digestibility, apparent fat digestibility, and apparent neutral detergent fiber digestibility did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in serum alpha-LA concentration between the three levels of alpha-LA supplementation. However, this supplementation did elevate serum alpha-LA, eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5 (n-3)), and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 (n-3)) levels compared with feeding the basal zoo lagomorph diet (P < 0.05). thus, supplementation of the basal zoo lagomorph diet with alpha-la elevated the serum levels of essential fatty acids in the vancouver island marmot.

Among yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris), fitness is thought to be lower for non-colonial females because juvenile survival, as indicataed by trapping, is lower. Trapping, however, may not be an accurate estimate of survival. Low recapture rates of non-colonial juveniles may result from early dispersal due to maternal behavior, or higher mortality due to predation or inadequate resources for overwinter survival. Our objective was to determine if survival was lower for noncolonial than for colonial juveniles, and to determine the cause of the low recapture rate of noncolonial juveniles. Our results show that survival of noncolonial juveniles was not lower than that of colonial juveniles. Noncolonial juveniles were not more vulnerable to predation during the active season, nor was overwintering mortality higher. Some noncolonial juveniles did disperse early, and most moved away from the natal burrow to hibernate, thereby explaining the low recapture rate reported previously. Ealy dispersal was not related to maternal behavior. Noncolonial females do not enjoy the benefits of group-living, especially the opportunity to form matrilines; but they also do not suffer the costs, such as competition for resources.

Nel corso di una ricerca sul campo effettuata nelle estati del 1981 e del 1982 nel Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso e' stato osservato il comportamento sociale della Marmotta e ne sono stati ascoltati, descritti ed analizzati i segnali sonori. Viene presentata e discussa una descrizione generale dell' organizzazione sociale della species-anche in rapporto alle specie americane, piu' note dal punto di vista comportamentale. Vengono inoltre presentati ed analizzati i 5 diversi tipi di segnale registrati: 1. Fischio multiplo di allarme ; 2. Fischio singolo, emesso specificamente in presenza di uccelli da preda; 3. Fischio multiplo rallentato ; 4. Guaito, utilizzato nel corso di interazioni agonistiche ; 5. Ringhio, utilizzato come segnale di minaccia o agonistico. Viene affrontato, anche in ottica sociobiologica, il problema delle relazioni tra comunicazione - in particolare per quanto riguarda i segnali di allarme - e struttura sociale del gruppo.

Il ciclo di attività giornaliera della marmotta alpina ha inizio con il sorgere del sole e termina generalmente al tramonto, con una flessione nelle ore più calde della giornata. Le attività principali sono il pascolo e lo stazionamento. In questo modulo comportamentale gli animali si dispongono su massi situati nei pressi delle tane. Poichè gli animali stazionano anche quando il sole è già tramontato o quando il cielo è nuvoloso e piove, questa attività non pare legata solamente al riscaldamento dell'animale. Pare piuttosto che sia comprensiva di almeno due elementi : quello del riscaldamento e quello della sorveglianza del territorio circostante. Quando gli animali stazionano, e hanno quindi la possibilità di tenere sotto controllo il territorio circostante, esibiscono al segnale multiplo d'allarme risposte significativamente differenti da quando gli animali sono al pascolo (come mostra la figura). L'ipotesi del comportamento territoriale della marmotta alpina, almeno delle colonie che abitano alle quote più alte è confermata anche da altri fattori, quali l'esibizione di due diversi moduli comportamentali legati alla marcatura del territorio : lo strofinamento e lo scavo. Inoltre le interazioni agonistiche sono frequentemente legate alla difesa del territorio.

Numerosi autori affualmente concordano nell'affermare che la marmotta alpine difende affimente il proprio territorio famillare dall'intrussione di conspecifici, in particolare in primevera, stagione nella quale avvengono gli accoppiamenti, e in autunno (Barash 1976; Bopp 1955, 1956, 1964 ; Lenti 1983, 1985 ; Zelenka 1965) ; fino ad oggi, pero' non sono stati presentati consistenti dati quantitativi a favore di questa ipotesi. I dati presentati forniscono un supporto di tipo quantitativo all'ipotesi precedentemente enunciata e sono stati raccolti negli anni 1984, 1985, 1986 nel corso di una ricerca a lungo termine sull' etologia ed ecologia della marmotta alpina, svolta in prevalenza sul territorio del P.N.G.P. in Valle di Cogne, e si basano su 1054 rilevamenti della localizzazione dei singoli individui effettuati ogni 15' circa in giornate campione (scan sampling, Altmann 1974) e su 80 ore di oservazione di animali non marcati. E'stato possibile evidenziare, tramite mappatura delle aree utilizzate e dei siti di marcatura, che gli individui appartenenti ad una medesima famiglia frequentano nel corso delle loro attivita' giornaliere il medesimo territorio ed occupano i redesimi siti di stazionamento (Lenti 1983) e che questa frequenza e' esclusiva, in quanto i conspecifici appartenenti a differenti famiglie vengono attivamente allontanati ; gli episodi di marcatura del territorio avvengono prevalentemente nelle zone di confine. I moduli componenti le interazioni sociali vengono definiti in dettaglio, mettendo in evidenza la coesione reciproca del vari individui entro e tra i diversi gruppi familiari durante i due stati comportamentali prevalenti : io stazionamento e il pascolo. Le interazioni amichevoli, la toelettatura reciproca e il gioco avvengono in modo significativamente maggiore all'interno di ogni gruppo di individui che frequenta le medesime aree famiari, mentre le interazioni agonistiche avvengono in numero significativamente magglore tra individui non appartenenti alla stressa area famillare che non tra individui appartenenti alla medesima area familiare, ed inoltre avvengono prevalentemente sulle zone di contine.

A long term study on the behavioural ecology of alpine marmots (Marmota marmota L.) was performed in the Cogne Valley, at the Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy. During this study the distribution of the colonies was determined in an area measuring 4200 hectares. Marmots were found in every grassland above the timberline (2000 m) but not in the pinewood and in stony grounds; below the pinewood (1330) few colonies were found, this was probably due to human activities. A family of alpine marmots utilizes only one hibernating burrow over the years and I suggest a density estimate calculed multiplying the number of hibernacula by the mean number of marmots in a family. In the years from 1985 to 1987 this method was carried out in the field in a smaller area measuring 375 hectares with 16% of suitable habitat for marmots (60 hectares). The mean number of 1.02, 0.91, 1.12 marmot every hectare was found in 1985, 1986 and 1987 respectively. All the field work was performed in 674h.

The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota L.) is a territorial species which lives in family groups made of a monogamous pair and offspring, social hibernation is a prominent behavioural trait. Colonies are generally made up of several territories and each group actively defends his boundaries against intruder neighbours. The size of territories do not consistently change according to the size of the group. Space use is differentiated in the colony in that individuals belonging to the same family group use the same spotting points, summer burrows and hibernating burrows, which are considered the limiting resource to population expansion. Social bonds are also differentiated because amicable interactions most frequently happen within a familiar group and agonistic interactions are observed mostly between neighbours and at the boundaries of territories.In this paper the type and function of social interaction in keeping social bonds in the colony are further investigated. Data were collected during a field study which took place in 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 during the months of July, August and September at the Gran Paradiso National Park, Valle d'Aosta, Italy. The study area was located at 2300 m. asl, above timberline. 438 hr of observations, concentrated in the early morning (06.00-11.00 hr) and late afternoon (17.00- 20.00 hr), were done on thirty-three animals, belonging to five different family groups.The animals were live trapped and marked for individual recognition. Focal animal sampling was used to record marking patterns, spatial location of behavioural acts and behavioural profiles. Focal sampling periods lasted 15min, animals to be sampled were chosen at random. Observations were recorded on a portable tape recorder and later transcribed. For further delails see Lenti (1985) and Lenti, Boero, & Boerro (1989). Social patterns were previously described in Lenti (1983b). Results show that both amicable and agonistic interaction can be further subdivided in many subcategories which serve a highly differentiated social communication. In the monogamous pair social grooming seems to be more reciprocated than in other age and sex classes, social play bouts can be observed across different age and sex class of siblings until two or three years of age, use of particularly reqested spotting points show a clear dominance hierarchy within a family group.

In a field study conducted in the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso, Valle d'Aosta, Italy, acoustic signals were categorized as follows: single whistle (SW), a loud cry that was not repeated, and multiple whistle, a series of whistles which could be uttered in brief (BMW) or in numerous long lasting bouts (LMW). In 438 hr of direct observations I demonstrated that: (l) single whistles were associated significantly with flying stimuli and multiple whistles with terestrial stimuli; (2) the signals interrupted the foraging behaviour of 22 individually recognized adults; BMW seemed more disturbing than SW when coming from the same or near colony and less alarming when coming from a distant colony. Evidence for true semanticity and honest advertisement is discussed.

Marmota genus spread during pliocene from North America to west (Bibikov). Eventually marmots reached the Alps and Pirenees (Bibikov ; Couturier). During this very long journey the genus gave origin to 8 different species and a number of different subspecies which is still to be determined (for an English review see : Rumiantsev, Rymalov, Lenti-Boero-in preparation). The western species is the alpine marmot, which was isolated in the Alps and in the Pirinees after the last glaciation (Wehrlich). As K. Lorenz pointed out behavioural and cognitive modifications have been happened and selected from the mutating environment. Those modifications can be documented through a study of different species (Barash,1974). As regards to communication, semantic communication has been reported in alpine marmot (M. flaviventris) (Waring) and woodchuck (M. monax) (Barash). All species living in Asia have a dichotomous communication system (Nikol'skii) and it is argued that this might be due to differential emotional reactivity (Nikol'skii), though differential representational and cognitive capabilities need to be better understood. In this work preliminary spectra of alpine marmots are investigated and the possibility of selective selection of better cognitive capabilities (Pole) is discussed.

The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota L.) is a high altitude social hibernator living in colonies composed by two or more familiar groups. Each group is constituted by a monogamous pair and offspring up to third fourth generation and occupies a territory actively defended from intruder neighbours. The present paper shows that in alpine marmots marking behaviour has a primary role in olfactory communication about territorial boundaries, which is in contrast with what happens in north American species. Moreover, as in other monogamous species such as wolves, it is shown that there is no sex difference in marking behaviour and that adult reproducers mark more than subordinates.

Five social groups of individually identified marmots were observed at Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy from Summer 1985 to 1988. Home range size varied from 12,500 sm to 28,125 sm (mean = 18,977). Core areas, were at least 10% of fixes were found had a mean size of 1,818 sm. In each home range only one hibernating burrows utilized across years by different social groups was found, mean number of burrows used during summer was 2.81 (range 1 - 6). Spotting points, that is rocks or logs without burrows varied from 2 to 13 (mean 5.64%) and were located at the periphery of the home ranges. No relationship was found between number of animals in a social group and home range sizes or between home range sizes and number of observation places. Behavioural plasticity in use of spatial resources and the social and ecological factors influencing dimensions of home ranges and number of other resources is discussed.

During an eight year study on the ethology and ecology of the alpine marmot (Marmota marmota L.), carried out in the Gran Paradiso National Park, Aosta, Italy, 41 young marmots were individually recognized and data on birth rate, litter size, permanence beyond maturity, and productivity were recorded. Litter size had a median of four (range 4-5). No female had a litter in the first year of settling and all females but one had a one year interval in reproduction. 36.6%; 34.1%; 21.5% and 0 animals born in the colony were found in the natal territory when one, two, three and four years old, respectively. The differences found in comparison to other geographical areas might be related to the high turnover rate of social groups and indirectly to the harshness of the habitat where the study area is located.

Scent-deposition was investigated in Marmota marmota L. at Gran Paradiso National Park. 448 h of focal and scan sampling were performed on 22 marmots in four subsequent years. Results show that: (1) 97.4% of the scent-deposition is done within 25 m of the edge of the territories or of the main burrows (c2 = 100.4, df 9, p < 0.001); (2) being a reporducing adult is the most prominent factor in scent-deposition (c2 = 32.4, df = 18, p < 0.0002). The role of factors affecting scent-deposition in territorial defence and social communication is discussed.

Cinq groupes sociaux de marmottes identifiées individuellement ont été observés dans le Parc National du Grand Paradis, Italie, de l'été 1985 à 1988. La taille du domaine vital varie de 12.500 m2 à 28.125 m2 (m.=18.125 m2). Le coeur du domaine, où 10% des positions ont été observées, a en moyenne 1.818 m2. Dans chaque domaine, un seul terrier d'hibernation est utilisé au cours des années par différents groupes sociaux, le nombre moyen de terriers utilisés pendant l'été a été de 2,81 (1 à 6). Les sites de surveillance hors terriers varient de 2 à 13% (m. 5,64%) et se trouvent à la périphérie des domaines. Aucune relation n'a été mise en évidence entre le nombre d'animaux dans un groupe et la taille du domaine ou entre la taille du domaine et le nombre de sites d'observation. La plasticité comportementale de l'utilisation des ressources spatiales et les facteurs sociaux et écologiques influençant les dimensions du domaine vital et du nombre des autres ressources sont discutés.

This study took place in the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso (P.N.G.P.) from 1981 to 1993. Most of the observations were made from early June to late September. Marmots inhabited the concavities of the valleys above the timberline and on slopes from 0degree to 35degree of a transect of 4200 ha. Density was estimated by animal counts in two sample areas and ranged from 0.6 to 1.5 an/ha. Population dynamics was investigated from 1985 to 1993 in a colony at 2350 m; 57 marmots were live trapped for individual recognition. The total number of sexually mature reproductive groups observed was 27, in 18.5% a trio made of two unrelated males and one female was present. Never were two adult females found together and never were two different litters found concurrently on the same territory. Male/female ratio for immigration was 1.8, G test P > 0.005. Mean group size not including infants was 4.7 +- 2.9, range 2-11. Social groups had the highest turnover rate ever reported for a colony of alpine marmots. A total of 60 infants were born during this study. Mean litter size was 4 +- 0.65, and the median was 4. Mean number of litters sired per female was 1.5 +- 1.77. Forty percent of the new pairs disappeared after their first overwintering with a litter. Infant mortality, ascribed both to winter stress and predation, was 77.7% when both parents, or at least the mother only, was present the following summer. No sex difference for philopatry was found, and mean age length of residence in the natal territory was 2.29, range 2-3. Predation was documented on 8.77% of all individually marked animals.

This study took place in the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso (P.N.G.P.), Valle d'Aosta, Italy, from 1985 to 1993 on an area of 200 ha, 52% of which was a suitable surface for marmot settling during summer. Density of hibernacula varied from 0.09 burrows per hectare in 1986, to 0.2 burrows per hectare in 1991, the year when the maximum density of hibernacula was found. The mean number of hibernacula across years was 14.37, and the mean density was 0.13 per hectare. Despite a fluctuation of 10-21 hibernacula found in the springtime, the number of permanent hibernacula increased from 10 to 13. All new hibernacula that became permanent appeared within empty territories, suggesting that at least a fraction of the annual dispersers hazarded to dig new hibernacula or readapt summer burrows. Above the timberline, animals at higher elevation emerged later than animals at lower elevations (GLM; df=1,21; F=18.41; P=0.000). Seventy-one percent of the infants distributed in 14 litters were observed for the first time above ground within a 10-day span. Infants weighed significantly less than reported in other studies. Mass of adult males was related to date of emergence during spring (GLM; Regression, F=35.72; df=1,9; P=0.000). Mass of adult females was not related to date of spring emergence but only to presence or absence of lactation (GLM; F=0.43; df=1,11; P=0.52; and F=5.31; df=1,11; P=0.042, respectively for day from spring emergence and for lactational status).

La littérature disponible sur les préférences, la distribution, le choix de l'habitat et les techniques de comptage est réexaminée. Les études qualitatives sur la répartition des marmottes semblent confirmer les études contrôlées sur le choix de l'habitat : les marmottes alpines préfèrent presque uniquement les expositions méridionales et orientales, une altitude variant de 1450 ± 336 m à 2460 ± 491 m, des pentes moyennes, des sols rocheux avec des prairies et un faible dérangement anthropique. Il est recommandé d'éviter le concept trompeur de colonie quand on veut évaluer la densité des marmottes sur un territoire donné.

Le type et la fonction des interactions sociales dans le maintien des liens sociaux au sein d'une colonie sont étudiés chez la marmotte alpine. Un total de 872 interactions sociales a été enregistré. Les interactions amicales sont les plus fréquentes (n=715 ; 82 % de toutes les interactions). Presque toutes les interactions amicales (99 %) impliquent des animaux appartenant au même groupe familial. Les interactions agonistiques représentent 18 % de l'ensemble des interactions et se produisent au sein du même groupe social et entre groupes différents. Au sein des groupes, le harcèlement est le fait les mâles adultes. Les différents types d'interactions se manifestent dans différentes parties du territoire du groupe social.

During summer season, and across the day, marmot spp. exhibit a peculiar behaviour defined “spotting” or wary-sitting lying, this aspect of Alpine Marmot behaviour is investigated in the present field study conducted from 1985 until 1993 at the Gran Paradiso National Park, Valle d’Aosta, Italy. Results show that male and female adults considered together allocated more time to spotting than to feeding when infants were present than in the year of settling or when skipping reproduction. They also did more spotting than adults that never reproduced, and their sons and daughters of two years or more. During the month of July infants of the year allocated less time to feeding than to social activities, suggesting that this is a very important behaviour for confirmation of their social role. Conclusions suggest that in the alpine marmots spotting might have more than one function and kin guarding is included.

Introduction. For any living species, time is a not disposable resource. For this reason behaviours must be allocated along the life time-line of one individual according a hierarchical order that must guarantee 1) growth and survival and 2) reproduction. During summer season, and across the day, many marmot spp. exhibit a peculiar behaviour defined "spotting" or wary-sitting lying. Earlier studies in Marmota marmota suggested that spotting was related to sun exposition, that is to self maintenance, however, successive studies maintained that spotting is related to territorial control. This aspect of alpine marmot behaviour is investigated in the present study. Methods. The data were collected during a field study which took place from 1985 until1992 during the months of July, August and September at the Gran Paradiso National Park, Valle d’Aosta, Italy. Results. A normal daily cycle started in the early morning when animals came out of burrows and rest/spot for a while. Hour of coming out varied according to time in the season and to weather. Wary sitting and spotting preceded foraging, but it was exhibited throughout the day. Different age classes showed different time budget allocation; adult males and females did more spotting than other age classes, and yearling and infants did more feeding. Wary sitting was exhibited also when the sky was cloudy or when it was raining or foggy. In conclusion warysitting do es not seem to be linked to heating in the alpine marmots, but seems to be related to territorial survey.

Trenta marmotte sono state catturate nel corso di una ricerca a lungo termine sull'ecologia del comportamento della marmota alpina (Marmota marmota L.) condotta al Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso. Sono state utilizzate due diverse trappole Hawahart (modello 766 e 1050) e una trappola autocostruita. Le trappole posizionate per la prima volta su ogni colonia avevano più successo nelle catture (P = 0.006). L'immobilizzazione farmalogica è stata condotta utilizzando una combinazione di chetamina (20-25 mg/kg) e xilazina (6mg/kg). La marcatura a freddo, effettuata con prodotti per il raffreddamento dei circuiti elettronici, ha avuto buoni rusulti ed ha permesso l'identdicazione dei soggenti nel corso degli anni.
Thirty alpine marmots (Marmota marmota L.) were live trapped for marking during a longterm field study on the ecology of behaviour of the species, carried out in the Gran Paradiso National Park, ltaly. Two different Hawahart traps (mod. 766 an 1050) and one handmade model were utilized. The traps positioned for the first time in each colony were significantly more successful in trapping The marmots were chemically immobilized with a combination of ketamine hydrochloride (20-25 mg/kg b.w.) and xylazine hydrochloride 6 mg/kg b.w.). Freeze brandin by means of a commercial dry cooler for circuit components was successful and allowed to identificate the subjects over the years.

En anglais, in English.
Marmota monax, hépatite, hepatitis.
A direct spectrophotometric assay for determination of the serum bile acid concentration in the woodchuck (Marmota monax) has been validated. The assay relies on the conversion of 3-hydroxy bile acids to 3-oxo bile acids by 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with concomitant reduction of NAD+ to NADH. Reduction of NAD+ is coupled via a diaphorase catalyst to the formation of a diformazan dye from nitrotetrazolium blue and the diformazan product is measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm. Interfering endogenous dehydrogenase activity present in woodchuck sera was inactivated with sodium pyruvate. Mean recovery of seven exogenous bile acids added to woodchuck sera was 102.0 +/- 2.2%. Intra-assay precision was determined with ten replicate samples giving a mean +/- standard error of the mean of 1.94 +/- 0.12 micron/L with a coefficient of variation of 3.9%. The mean serum bile acid concentration determined in 33 clinically healthy animals was 5.52 +/- 0.81 micron/L. The serum bile acid concentration increased following surgical ligation of the bile duct from 3.78 +/- 0.58 micron/L to a maximum value of 148.0 +/- 30.7 micron/L and remained increased for the 42 day study period. In woodchucks treated with carbon tetrachloride, the serum bile acid concentration peaked at 16 hours following treatment at 72.7 +/- 29.3 micron/L, and returned to pretreatment concentration within 6 days. The serum bile acid concentration therefore appears to be a sensitive biochemical test of cholestasis and hepatocellular forms of hepatic injury and of potential value in the clinical assessment of hepatic disease associated with woodchuck hepatitis virus infection.

Molecular Virology and Hepatology Research, Division of Basic Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Health Sciences Centre, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland A1B 3V6, Canada. Woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) and human hepatitis B virus are closely related, highly hepatotropic mammalian DNA viruses that also replicate in the lymphatic system. The infectivity and pathogenicity of hepadnaviruses propagating in lymphoid cells are under debate. In this study, hepato-and lymphotropism of WHV produced by naturally infected lymphoid cells was examined in specifically established woodchuck hepatocyte and lymphoid cell cultures and coculture systems, and virus pathogenicity was tested in susceptible animals. Applying PCR-based assays discriminating between the total pool of WHV genomes and covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), combined with enzymatic elimination of extracellular viral sequences potentially associated with the cell surface, our study documents that virus replicating in woodchuck lymphoid cells is infectious to homologous hepatocytes and lymphoid cells in vitro. The productive replication of WHV from lymphoid cells in cultured hepatocytes was evidenced by the appearance of virus-specific DNA, cccDNA, and antigens, transmissibility of the virus through multiple passages in hepatocyte cultures, and the ability of the passaged virus to infect virus-naive animals. The data also revealed that WHV from lymphoid cells can initiate classical acute viral hepatitis in susceptible animals, albeit small quantities (approximately 10(3) virions) caused immunovirologically undetectable (occult) WHV infection that engaged the lymphatic system but not the liver. Our results provide direct in vitro and in vivo evidence that lymphoid cells in the infected host support propagation of infectious hepadnavirus that has the potential to induce hepatitis. They also emphasize a principal role of the lymphatic system in the maintenance and dissemination of hepadnavirus infection, particularly when infection is induced by low virus doses.

Fialuridine (FIAU, 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil) is toxic to liver, heart, muscle, and nerve in clinical trials for chronic viral hepatitis (CH). Mitochondrial toxicity was hypothesized. To address pathophysiologic mechanisms, we examined mitochondrial changes in FIAU-treated woodchucks (WC) with CH from woodchuck hepatitis virus infection. WC (with and without CH from woodchuck hepatitis virus infection) were treated with FIAU (1.5 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. WC were killed. Liver, heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney samples underwent DNA extraction and were analyzed ultrastructurally (transmission electron microscopy). Myocardium, skeletal muscles, and liver samples were analyzed histologically. Abundance of hepatic, myocardial, muscle, and kidney mtDNA decreased in FIAU-treated WC, but the magnitude varied. mtDNA decreased 55% in heart, 65% in kidney, 74% in liver, and 87% in muscle (p < 0.02 for each tissue: fiau-treated versus fiau-untreated). cellular damage was characterized ultrastructurally by mitochondrial enlargement, cristae dissolution, and lipid droplets. lipid droplets found in the heart, diaphragm, biceps, and liver were sufficient to identify fiau-treated wc (p < 0.05 each). widespread mitochondrial damage to many tissues resulted from chronic fiau treatment and occurred irrespective of ch. it manifested with mtdna depletion, intracytoplasmic lipid droplets, and destroyed mitochondrial cristae. defective mtdna replication with mtdna depletion seems central to the subcellular pathophysiology of altered energy metabolism and multiorgan failure in fiau toxicity.

There are currently about 1000 snow leopards in Mongolia with an overall density of 1.10 cats per 100 km2 of occupied habitat. These cats occupy an area range of probably less than 90 thousand km2. The snow leopards commonly use terrain that is extremely rugged, in the same habitat where yak graze and often unguarded. Consequently, they, along with horses, are often killed by snow leopard, more so than other large livestock. During our study, 168 faecal samples of the snow leopard were collected and analysed. Results show that ibex made up 38.7% of the total diet, small mammals 4.6%, red deer 2.4%, marmot 7.1%, and domestic livestock 31% (including sheep 17.3%, horse 5.4%, cow 4.8%, and goat 3.6%). In addition to prey, vegetation (14.9%) and soil (2.3%) were also found in the faecal samples.

We cloned and characterized the woodchuck tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin-alpha, -beta (LT-alpha, -beta) cDNAs, genes and proteins to facilitate study of the functions of these cytokines during the course of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) infection. Woodchuck cDNA and genomic DNA libraries were screened with woodchuck-specific DNA probes to isolate the cDNA and gene clones for TNF, LT-alpha and LT-beta. The cDNAs for woodchuck TNF, LT-alpha and LT-beta code for proteins of 233, 205 and 310 amino acids respectively. The polypeptide encoded by each gene among woodchucks, humans and mice can differ: the human TNF, LT-alpha and LT-beta genes encode polypeptides of 233, 205 and 244 amino acids respectively, whereas the mouse TNF, LT-alpha and LT-beta genes encode polypeptides of 235, 202 and 306 amino acids respectively. In the woodchuck, there are four exons for TNF, four exons for LT-alpha and three exons for LT-beta. The RNA splicing patterns for TNF, LT-alpha and LT-beta genes are identical among woodchucks, humans and mice, except that the human LT-beta gene contains four exons. The woodchuck TNF gene promoter contains consensus sequences for binding of AP-1, AP-2, C/EBPbeta, CRE, Egr-1, Ets, NF-AT, NF-kappaB and SP-1 transcription factors. LT-alpha has AP-2, Ets, NF-kappaB, SP-1 and STAT binding sites, and LT-beta has Egr-1/SP-1, Ets and NF-kappaB binding sites. The bacterially expressed woodchuck TNF and LT-alpha proteins exhibited cytotoxic activities on both mouse L929B and woodchuck A2 cells in the presence of actinomycin D. The specific activities of TNF and LT-alpha were 2.62x10(8) units/mg and 2.22x10(3) units/mg respectively for L929B cells, and 1.05x10(9) units/mg and 3.56x10(4) units/mg respectively for A2 cells. However, only woodchuck TNF showed cytotoxic activity on human HepG2 cells, with a specific activity of 6.55x10(7) units/mg in the presence of actinomycin D. The data obtained from this study will be useful to future investigations of the TNF and LT antitumor and anti-viral activities, and their therapeutic potential in the woodchuck model for human hepatitis B virus (HBV).

Woodchuck is an important animal model for studying human hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Within the cytokine network, interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an important role in immune responses that may lead to viral clearance. To further understand woodchuck IL-6 biology, we cloned and characterized the IL-6 gene from white blood cells. The complete woodchuck IL-6 gene is about 7 kb and consists of five exons and four introns. The IL-6 gene organization of the woodchuck is similar to those of the human, rat, and mouse. Also several elements are highly conserved in the 300 bp promoter region of the IL-6 gene, including a nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) binding site. The woodchuck IL-6 gene encodes a polypeptide of 207 amino acids in a precursor form and 189 amino acids in the mature form. The expressed protein was 23 kDa according to SDS-PAGE. To demonstrate biologic activity, we expressed woodchuck IL-6 and showed that the purified recombinant protein induced terminal differentiation, as reflected by upregulation of Fcgamma receptor expression, and substantially inhibited proliferation of M1 cells, a murine myeloid leukemia cell line. The inhibitory effect of woodchuck IL-6 on M1 cells was blocked by an anti-gp130 monoclonal antibody, suggesting that woodchuck IL-6 activity is specifically mediated by signaling through the IL-6 receptor complex. Cloning of the woodchuck IL-6 gene and demonstrating biologic activity of the gene product will facilitate studies of human hepatitis B virus using the woodchuck model.

We have determined a consensus sequence and the type and the frequency of spontaneous sequence variations in the woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) precore gene and the 5' region of the core gene in 101 serum samples from 53 naturally WHV-infected woodchucks by polymerase chain reaction sequencing. Twenty of the 53 woodchucks were found to have variant sequences. Ten patterns of variant sequences were identified in these 20 animals. WHV sequences from 4 woodchucks had 1 nucleotide change, 3 had 2 nucleotide changes and 3 had 3 nucleotide changes. The nucleotide changes were not randomly distributed, but were limited to only 8 sites. Four sites were in the epsilon motif of the precore gene and four were in the 5' region of the core gene. Sixteen of the 53 (30%) woodchucks had precore sequence variants. All altered sites were analogous to previously described mutations in hepatitis B virus. There was a nucleotide change at nucleotide 2016 in codon 29 of the precore region that produced a stop codon in 4 animals. This site is analogous to a common hepatitis B virus e antigen mutation. The sequence from the initial blood samples from 3 of 4 animals with this stop codon producing variant appeared to be the consensus sequence; however, in later samples the variant occurred as a mixed infection with the consensus sequence. The mixed infections were chronic and the proportion of the variant sequence was maintained or increased in the course of infection. In the fourth animal only the variant was found and it persisted for over 14 months of infection. WHV appears to be a valuable model for the study of the structure and function of the hepadnavirus precore region.

OBJECTIVE: To study the distribution of genomovars and microevolution of Yersinia pestis in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. METHODS: Primer pairs targeting the twenty-two different regions(DFRs) were designed for detecting the presence or deletion of each DFR in 297 strains isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. RESULTS: 9 genomovars, i. e. Genomovar 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, new type and Ype-ancestor were identified in the Marmota himalayana plague focus of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Among these genomovars, genomovar 5,8 and 10 were dominant types. The total rate of the three genomovars was 80.6% (204/253) and the genomovars in different regions were different. All of 44 strains of Y. pestis in the Microtus fuscus plague focus of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau belonged to genomovar 14. CONCLUSION: The distribution of genomovars of Y. pestis in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau had remarkable characteristics geographically. Based on the distribution of genomovars of Y. pestis, the routes of transmission and microevolution of Y. pestis were proposed.

Cross-species chromosome painting has made a great contribution to our understanding of the evolution of karyotypes and genome organizations of mammals. Several recent papers of comparative painting between tree and flying squirrels have shed some light on the evolution of the family Sciuridae and the order Rodentia. In the present study we have extended the comparative painting to the Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana) and the African ground squirrel (Xerus cf. erythropus), i.e. representative species from another important squirrel group - the ground squirrels -, and have established genome-wide comparative chromosome maps between human, eastern gray squirrel, and these two ground squirrels. The results show that 1) the squirrels so far studied all have conserved karyotypes that resemble the ancestral karyotype of the order Rodentia; 2) the African ground squirrels could have retained the ancestral karyotype of the family Sciuridae. Furthermore, we have mapped the evolutionary rearrangements onto a molecular-based consensus phylogenetic tree of the family Sciuridae.

We characterized legacy and new contaminants in the highly endangered Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) marmot and found generally low blood and fat concentrations of a complex mixture of pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), -dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), -dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in their tissues. The dominance of the more volatile alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) pesticides and the lesser chlorinated PCB congeners suggests that atmospheric processes largely explain the contamination of this high-altitude herbivore.

In this handsome volume, Donald W. Linzey offers a comprehensive review of the state of knowledge concerning the mammals of Virginia and the literature about them that has emerged over the past four hundred years. The book opens with a historical account of mammal investigations in Virginia and a summary of the natural regions of the Commonwealth. Most of the book consists of systematic summaries of the zoology and ecology of each species of mammal that occurs, or recently occurred, in Virginia. Each account describes the species with notes on its distribution, habitat affiliation, behavior, diet, reproduction and development, longevity, parasitology, and selected other topics that vary among the species, as well as a list of locations of museum specimens. A color photograph and line drawing of the skull and mandible from standard perspectives is provided for each species. Among the appendixes is a review of he mammalian fauna of Virginia during the past Ice Age. A substantial reference section identifies more than 2,700 published sources of information about Virginia’s mammals. The Mammals of Virginia is a work of massive scope that makes a major contribution to the study of natural history in the Commonwealth.

The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes from heart, liver, kidney and skeletal muscle in Himalayan marmots (Marmota himalayana robusta) in non-hibernation were investigated in the present experiment. The isozyme patterns were analyzed by means of disc electrophoresis and the ultraviolet enzymatic determination. The following conclusions were obtained: 1. It was found that two expression patterns of LDH genes presented in the skeletal muscle of Himalayan marmots. There was a LDH-B4 band only in one marmots and absent in others. The interindividual polymorphism of LDH isozyme patterns may be attribute to one or more regulator genes controlling synthesis of B-subunit of LDH. 2. LDH zymograms of various tissues of Himalayan marmots showed different subbands. This is presumably due to the existence of both symmetrical and asymmetrical conformers of this tetramer.

Nitrate balance and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) excretion were studied in woodchucks chronically infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV). Twenty-four-h urinary recovery of a bolus dose of [15N]nitrate was 54 +/- 12% in woodchucks. WHV-infected animals formed 3-fold more nitrate endogenously than did control animals (P less than 0.01). Treatment of WHV-infected animals with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide increased nitrate excretion 15-fold, while uninfected animals increased nitrate excretion 4-fold. The endogenous formation of NDMA was higher in WHV-infected woodchucks than in uninfected controls. After administration of L-[15N2]arginine, [15N]nitrate, and [15N]NDMA were detected in urine indicating that arginine is a precursor of biosynthesized nitrate and the hepatocarcinogen NDMA. NDMA probably results from the formation of nitrosating agents during the oxidation of arginine to oxides of nitrogen and citrulline. Woodchucks chronically infected with WHV develop hepatocellular carcinomas with high frequency. Our observations suggest an additional mechanism that may be involved in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with chronic WHV infection.

Woodchuck hepatitis virus surface antigen (WHsAg) stimulated hepatocytes in culture to produce nitric oxide (NO.), as evidenced by the accumulation of nitrite in the medium. NO. synthesis by hepatocytes was positively correlated with WHsAg concentration. WHsAg-induced NO. synthesis was inhibited by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine and anti-WHsAg antibody. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an increase in NO. formation by a viral antigen. These data, when considered in the light of the known genotoxicity of NO., raise the possibility that viral hepatitis increases the risk of liver cancer by increasing the production of NO.. Long-term elevated production of NO. free radicals due to stimulation by WHsAg in chronic hepatitis may directly cause reactions with cellular DNA leading to mutagenesis, as well as the formation of hepatocarcinogenic N-nitroso compounds. This provides a new mechanism by which hepatitis B virus infection might hypothetically increase the risk of liver cancer.

En anglais, in English.

Woodchuck (Marmota monax) hepatic cells, which were immortalized by the simian virus 40 large T antigen (SV40 Tag) produced nitric oxide (NO; measured as nitrite) in vitro from L-arginine (L-Arg) after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. NO synthesis was related to L-Arg and LPS concentration and plateaued at 1.0 mM L-Arg and 1.0 microgram/ml LPS. LPS-stimulated cells nitrosated morpholine to form N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) in the presence of L-Arg at pH 7.4. NMOR production increased 7-fold in LPS stimulated cells compared to unstimulated hepatocytes. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was detected in the cell culture medium in the presence of LPS and L-Arg but without added dimethylamine. NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, a selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, inhibited formation of NO and NMOR, indicating that NO and nitrosating agents were formed via the L-Arg-nitric oxide pathway. These data are the first to report NO and N-nitrosamine production by immortalized hepatocytes and confirm earlier work showing that primary hepatocytes form NO in culture. This suggests that hepatic formation of N-nitroso compounds and/or NO could be an etiologic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma. Immortalized woodchuck hepatic cells may be useful as in vitro models to study the L-Arg-nitric oxide pathway and its possible role in liver carcinogenesis.

En anglais, in English.
Marmota monax, hépatite, hepatitis.
Hepatocytes isolated from woodchucks (Marmota monax) were shown to produce nitrite in vitro from L-arginine after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Hepatocytes isolated from woodchucks that were chronic carriers of woodchuck hepatitis virus formed twice as much nitrite as hepatocytes from noninfected animals. Nitrite synthesis by hepatocytes was directly related to L-arginine and LPS concentrations in the tissue culture medium and reached a plateau at 0.5 mM L-arginine and 1.0 µg/ml LPS. LPS-stimulated hepatocytes nitrosated morpholine to form N-nitrosomorpholine in the presence of L-arginine at a physiological pH of 7.4. There was a 10-fold increase in N-nitrosomorpholine production when hepatocytes were stimulated with LPS compared to unstimulated hepatocytes under similar conditions when both nitrite and morpholine were directly added to the medium. NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, a selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, inhibited formation of both nitrite and N-nitrosomorpholine. These results demonstrate that nitrosating agents are formed in hepatocytes via the L-arginine-nitric oxide pathway. This suggests that endogenous formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds could influence the process of hepatocarcinogenesis in woodchucks with chronic woodchuck hepatitis virus infection.

En anglais, in English.

The woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element (WPRE) is a cis-acting RNA sequence which evolved to enhance the expression of intronless viral messages. The WPRE is composed of three modular subelements, each contributing to its ability to localize unspliced messages to the cytoplasm. To determine whether the ability of the WPRE to enhance expression could be useful in non-viral and heterologous viral gene delivery systems, we analyzed the ability of the WPRE to elevate the expression of cDNA encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) in these contexts. We find that the WPRE can stimulate the expression of GFP when the gene is delivered by transfection or transduction with recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) to cell lines or to primary fibroblasts. To elucidate the mechanism of enhancement, we analysed nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA fractions of transduced or stably transfected cell lines. We find that the presence of the WPRE causes a significant increase in the levels of GFP RNA detected in both cellular compartments, independent of copy number. Analysis of RNA reveals an increase in poly(A) tail length to the physiological maximum on messages bearing the WPRE. This increase is established in the nucleus. We compared the tail lengths of messages containing the WPRE and other characterized viral export elements, revealing that the WPRE is unique both in its ability to maximize poly(A) tail length and in its ability to enhance expression. The WPRE maximizes poly(A) tail length independently of the identity of the polyadenylation signal or promoter. In addition to increasing the maximum tail length on a given message, the WPRE protects messages from deadenylation in the cytoplasm. Mutational analysis of the WPRE indicates a correlation of maximized and maintained poly(A) tail length with the enhancement of expression conferred by the WPRE, and assigns these functions to different cis-acting sequences within the WPRE. The chain-terminating adenosine analog cordycepin specifically antagonizes the effect of the WPRE on cytoplasmic poly(A) tail length, suggesting that the WPRE facilitates continued polyadenylation. These results suggest that the WPRE positively affects gene expression in the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments by influencing the 3 metabolism of messages.

The production of recombinant woodchuck cytokines is an essential prerequisite to study the immune response to hepadnavirus infection in the woodchuck model. Woodchuck tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was expressed in mammalian cells and in Escherichia coli. A test system for the biological activity of woodchuck TNF-alpha was established on basis of its cytotoxic effect to the murine fibrosarcoma cell line L929. Recombinant TNF-alpha was purified and used for the production of neutralizing antisera.

New palaeoenvironmental data are reported after analysing the distribution of micromammals (orders Rodentia, Insectivora, Chiroptera, and Lagomorpha) in the 11 stratigraphical levels at the Gran Dolina site (TD1?x2013;TD11, Early to Middle Pleistocene; Atapuerca, Spain). A continental, dry and cold climate is inferred at the beginning of the succession (TD3 to lower TD5). The fauna in the upper TD5 and in TD6 reflects a complex interglacial period with fluctuations in the degree of relative humidity. In the lower part of TD8, the presence of Microtus aff. ratticepoides indicates a relatively cold period. Finally, data from upper levels (TD8b, TD10, TD11) reflect another interglacial period with slight oscillations in relative moisture. The different levels at Gran Dolina are also correlated with oxygen isotope stages (OIS): TD3, TD4, and, TD5 may be correlated with OIS 22, TD6 is correlated with OIS 21, lower TD8 (TD8a) is correlated with OIS 18, upper TD8 (TD8b) is correlated with OIS 13 or 15, TD10 and TD11 are correlated with OIS 9 or 11.

L'étude du comportement alimentaire des marmottes soumises à une forte pression anthropique nous a permis de montrer que d'une part, les marmottes modifient peu leur comportement alimentaire et d'autre part, qu'elles se sont accommodées à cette présence, puisqu'elles se laissent facilement approcher. Deux sites sont comparés : le Vallon et le Plan du Cheval. Le Vallon est le plus fortement fréquenté, avec un pic de promeneurs entre 14h00 et 16h30. On peut considérer que les marmottes du Plan du Cheval ne subissent qu'occasionnellement la pression anthropique. Lorsqu'il y a des promeneurs au Plan, les animaux sont fortement perturbés et leur durée d'alimentation diminue pendant les heures étudiées. En ce qui concerne l'activité d'affouragement de ces animaux, le nombre de marmottes s'alimentant est plus important au Plan, entre 13h30 et 17h30. Au Plan du Cheval, l'activité d'affouragement est plus importante durant cette période, mais elle est plus grande au Vallon entre 9h30 et 13h30. Les différences décrites n'existent plus en septembre, ce qui nous conforte dans l'idée qu'il s'agit d'une accommodation qui cesse dès lors que la pression cesse. En septembre, les durées d'affouragement sont toujours supérieures à celles de juillet, pendant la période considérée (10h00-17h00). Les durées sont identiques quel que soit le lieu pour cette période. En mai, les différences entre les deux sites sont très importantes puisque les marmottes du Plan ne peuvent s'alimenter près de leur terrier à cause de l'enneigement. Il en résulte que les marmottes du Vallon mangent plus, durant une période plus longue. Les distances d'alerte et de fuite sont très nettement supérieures au Plan du Cheval, ce qui tend à montrer que les marmottes habituées à voir les hommes ont intégré le fait qu'ils ne sont pas dangereux et qu'elles ne doivent fuir que si les promeneurs s'écartent du chemin pour entrer dans leurs domaines vitaux. On montre ainsi l'avantage de la structure cognitive de la conscience animale (Delacour, 1994), qui leur permet de s'adapter pour se nourrir même en présence de l'homme, grâce à une capacité accrue d'anticipation et de mémorisation. Il serait très important d'approfondir cette étude sur le plan des comportements de vigilance, notamment entre 13h30 et 17h30. Cette étude pourrait être utilisée pour la gestion des espaces protégés pour tenir compte de la distance des chemins par rapport aux terriers et aux lieux d'alimentation, afin que les promeneurs ne gênent ni l'activité alimentaire nécessaire à la survie de l'espèce, ni les autres comportements, sociaux ou autres, qui jouent un rôle dans la cohésion sociale.

L'étude comparative du comportement de fuite de marmottes soumises à différentes pressions anthropiques a montré une forte accoutumance des marmottes soumises à des dérangements fréquents. Les distances d'alerte et de fuite des marmottes peu dérangées sont très nettement supérieures à celles des marmottes habituées à la présence de l'homme. Cette différence entre les deux populations se maintient au cours des mois. Cependant, distances d’alerte et de fuite d'une population augmentent après l'hibernation. Les marmottes possèdent donc la capacité de mémoriser les contraintes afin de s'alimenter pendant l'été, même en présence de l'homme. Des simulations menées pour tester la notion d'homme prédateur ou non prédateur n'ont pu aboutir à la conclusion attendue et aux résultats obtenus en Mongolie sur la marmotte Bobac. Cette étude devrait être approfondie sur d'autres sites, où la marmotte est chassée, pour &eirc;tre à même de conclure sur cet aspect.
A comparative study about fleeing behaviour of marmots under different anthropogenic pressure showed a strong familiarization of marmots under frequent disturbance. Alert and fleeing distance of marmots under fewer disturbance were strongly greater. The study on several months have shown that variation between the two populations was always in the same way, even if one population's median increase after hibernation. So marmots have the capacity to memorize constraints to forage in summer, when human beings were present. Simulation conducted for testing notion of human predator or non, have not ended to the expected conclusion and results obtain in Mongolia on Bobac marmot. This study has to be extended on other sites, where marmots are hunted in order to be able to conclude on this aspect.

A study of alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) foraging behaviour was carried out in the French Alps under different anthropogenic pressures. Two sites were compared: the Vallon and the Plan. More human pressure was experienced by marmots living in the Vallon with a peak of hikers between 2 and 4:30 p.m. Marmots living at Plan were less in contact with people. Marmot foraging time was longer in Plan, but this difference was compensated from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. In September, no hiking was observed and there was no difference in the foraging duration between the two sites. Visitors impact on foraging behaviour of marmots habituated to human pressure is not very important and marmots are able to adapt to exogenous pressure.

En anglais, in English.
Flight distance is the quantitative measurement of the reactivity and response of an animal to a disturber or predator. Flight distance seems to vary with group size, distance to shelter, and direction of predator approach. We suggest that other factors may influence flight distance, such as frequency of interactions, presence of a dog with the experimenter, presence of pups in the family group outside the burrows, time of day, and number of animals on the home range outside the burrows. We tested these factors on alpine marmots (Marmota marmota) and bobac marmots (Marmota bobac). Alert and flight distances and exit delays are shorter in groups with frequent interactions and in nonhunted groups (M. marmota). The presence of a dog with the experimenter increased alert and flight distances. The presence of pups outside the burrows during the experiment caused an increase in alert and flight distances and in exit delays. Alert and flight distances decreased during the day. A positive correlation was found between alert and flight distances. Alpine marmots emit very few alarm calls in response to the presence of humans. These results correlated with the hypothesis of accommodation of wildlife to human interactions. Marmots adjust their flight distance, which enables them to maintain certain behaviours in spite of the presence of humans.
La distance de fuite est une mesure quantitative de la réaction et de la réponse d'un animal à une perturbation ou un prédateur. Les distances de fuite semblent varier avec la taille des groupes, la distance au terrier, et la direction de l'approche par le prédateur. Nous suggérons que d'autres facteurs peuvent influencer les distances de fuite, tels que la fréquence des interactions, la présence de chien avec l'expérimentateur, la présence de jeunes dans le groupe, la période de la journée, le nombre d'animaux avec l'animal testé. Nous avons testé ces facteurs sur des marmottes alpines (Marmota marmota) et des marmottes bobacs (Marmota bobac). Les distances d'alerte et de fuite ainsi que les délais de sortie sont plus courts dans les groupes souvent soumis à des interactions et non chassés (M. marmota). La présence du chien avec l'expérimentateur provoque une augmentation des distances d'alerte et de fuite. La présence de marmottons à l'extérieur pendant l'expérience provoque une augmentation des distance d'alerte, de fuite et des délais de sortie. Les distances d'alerte et de fuite diminuent au cours de la journée. Les marmottes alpines émettent très peu de cris d'alarme vis-à-vis de l'homme. Ces résultats corroborent les hypothèses d'accoutumance des animaux sauvages aux interactions avec l'homme. Les marmottes ajustent leurs distances de fuite, ce qui leur permet de maintenir certains comportements malgré la présence humaine.

Une première étude a été conduite sur le comportement alimentaire de la marmotte alpine en relation avec le dérangement humain, comme l’alimentation est essentielle pour la survie. Une seconde étude a été menée sur tous les autres comportements, et plus spécialement sur le comportement social (jeu, marquage, interactions), pour cette espèce territoriale et sédentaire qui vit en groupe familial. Les premiers résultats semblent indiquer que l’habituation des marmottes aux hommes leur permet de conserver tous leur comportement, comme les différences entre les groupes dérangés et non dérangés ne sont pas significatives. Comme la plupart des animaux, les marmottes semblent être habituées à la présence des hommes sur le sentier. La stratégie d’occupation spatiale pendant le jour doit être étudiée pour comprendre les mécanismes qui permettent cette habituation.

Un équilibre existe entre les populations de proies et de prédateurs. Les animaux ajustent leur comportement pour réduire la prédation et permettre la survie de l’espèce, et les prédateurs prélèvent uniquement ce qui leur est nécessaire pour éviter l’épuisement de leur source d’alimentation. Selon certains auteurs, la faune sauvage est menacée par le dérangement humain car il est trop récent et les animaux ne sont pas habitués. Dans cet article, nous tentons de suivre les relations entre l’homme et les marmottes dans un village de Savoie (France) pour démontrer que cette cohabitation n’est pas si récente et que dans ce site, les marmottes peuvent s’habituer au dérangement humain.

DNA vaccination can induce humoral and cellular immune response to viral antigens and confer protection to virus infection. In woodchucks, we tested the protective efficacy of immune response to woodchuck hepatitis core antigen (WHsAg) and surface antigen (WHsAg) of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) elicited by DNA-based vaccination. Plasmids pWHcIm and pWHsIm containing WHV c- or pre-s2/s genes expressed WHcAg and WHsAg in transient transfection assays. Pilot experiments in mice revealed that a single intramuscular injection of 100 mug of plasmid pWHcIm DNA induced an anti-WHcAg titer over 1:300 that was enhanced by boost injections. However, two injections of 100 mug of pWHcIm did not induce detectable anti-WHcAg in woodchucks. With an increase in the dose to 1 mg of pWHcIm per injection, transient anti-WHcAg response and WHcAg-specific proliferation of peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PMBCs) appeared in woodchucks after repeated immunizations. Four woodchucks vaccinated with pWHcIm were challenged with 104 or 105 of the WHV 50% infective dose. They remained negative for markers of WHV replication (WHV DNA and WHsAg) in peripheral blood and developed anti-WHs in week 5 after challenge. In contrast, woodchucks not immunized or immunized with the control vector pcDNA3 developed acute WHV infection. Two woodchucks immunized with 1 mg of pWHsIm developed WHsAg-specific proliferative response of PBMCs but no measurable antiWHsAg response. A rapid anti-WHsAg response developed during week 2 after virus challenge. Neither woodchuck developed any signs of WHV infection. These data indicate that DNA-based vaccination with WHcAg and WHsAg can elicit immunity to WHV infection.

Woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) mutants with core internal deletions (CID) occur naturally in chronically WHV-infected woodchucks, as do hepatitis B virus mutants in humans. We studied the replication of WHV deletion mutants in primary woodchuck hepatocyte cultures and in vivo after transmission to naive woodchucks. By screening 14 wild-caught, chronically WHV-infected woodchucks, two woodchucks, WH69 and WH70, were found to harbor WHV CID mutants. Consistent with previous results, WHV CID mutants from both animals had deletions of variable lengths (90 to 135 bp) within the middle of the WHV core gene. In woodchuck WH69, WHV CID mutants represented a predominant fraction of the viral population in sera, normal liver tissues, and to a lesser extent, in liver tumor tissues. In primary hepatocytes of WH69, the replication of wild-type WHV and CID mutants was maintained at least for 7 days. Although WHV CID mutants were predominant in fractions of cellular WHV replicative intermediates, mutant covalently closed circular DNAs (cccDNAs) appeared to be a small part of cccDNA-enriched fractions. Analysis of cccDNA-enriched fractions from liver tissues of other woodchucks confirmed that mutant cccDNA represents only a small fraction of the total cccDNA pool. Four naive woodchucks were inoculated with sera from woodchuck WH69 or WH70 containing WHV CID mutants. All four woodchucks developed viremia after 3 to 4 weeks postinoculation (p.i.). They developed anti-WHV core antigen (WHcAg) antibody, lymphoproliferative response to WHcAg, and anti-WHV surface antigen. Only wild-type WHV, but no CID mutant, was found in sera from these woodchucks. The WHV CID mutant was also not identified in liver tissue from one woodchuck sacrificed in week 7 p.i. Three remaining woodchucks cleared WHV. Thus, the presence of WHV CID mutants in the inocula did not significantly change the course of acute self-limiting WHV infection. Our results indicate that the replication of WHV CID mutants might require some specific selective conditions. Further investigations on WHV CID mutants will allow us to have more insight into hepadnavirus replication.

A number of options are available to modify and improve DNA vaccines. An interesting approach to improve DNA vaccines is to fuse bioactive domains, like cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), to an antigen. Such fusion antigens are expressed in vivo and directed to immune cells by the specific bioactive domain and therefore possess great potential to induce and modulate antigen-specific immune responses. In the present study, we tested this new approach for immunomodulation against hepadnavirus infection in the woodchuck model. Plasmids expressing the nucleocapsid protein (WHcAg) and e antigen (WHeAg) of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) alone or in fusion to the extracellular domain of woodchuck CTLA-4 and CD28 were constructed. Immunizations of mice with plasmids expressing WHcAg or WHeAg led to a specific immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a)-dominant antibody response. In contrast, fusions of WHcAg to CTLA-4 and CD28 induced a specific antibody response with comparable levels of IgG1 and IgG2a. Furthermore, the specific IgG1 response to WHcAg/WHeAg developed immediately after a single immunization with the CTLA-4-WHcAg fusion. Woodchucks were immunized with plasmids expressing WHeAg or the CTLA-4-WHcAg fusion and subsequently challenged with WHV. CTLA-4-WHcAg showed an improved efficacy in induction of protective immune responses to WHV. In particular, the anti-WHsAg antibody response developed earlier after challenge in woodchucks that received immunizations with CTLA-4-WHcAg, consistent with the hypothesis that anti-WHs response is dependent on a Th cell response to WHcAg. In conclusion, the use of fusion genes represents a generally applicable strategy to improve DNA vaccination.

Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is an important mediator with multiple functions in the host defense against viral infection. IFN-gamma, in concert with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), leads to a remarkable reduction of intrahepatic replication intermediates and specific mRNAs of hepatitis B virus (HBV) by a noncytolytic mechanism in the transgenic mouse model. Thus, it is rational to evaluate the potential value of IFN-gamma for the treatment of chronic HBV infection. In the present study, we expressed recombinant woodchuck IFN-gamma (wIFN-gamma) in Escherichia coli and mammalian cells. wIFN-gamma protected woodchuck cells against infection of murine encephalomyocarditis virus in a species-specific manner. It upregulated the mRNA level of the woodchuck major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) heavy chain in permanent woodchuck WH12/6 cells and regulated differentially the gene expression. However, the level of the replication intermediates and specific RNAs of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) in persistently WHV-infected primary woodchuck hepatocytes did not change despite a treatment with 1,000 U of wIFN-gamma per ml or with a combination of wIFN-gamma and woodchuck TNF-alpha. Rather, hepatocytes derived from chronic carriers had an elevated level of the MHC-I heavy-chain mRNAs, most probably due to the exposure to inflammatory cytokines in vivo. Treatment with high doses of wIFN-gamma led to an abnormal cell morphology and loss of hepatocytes. Thus, wIFN-gamma regulates the gene expression in woodchuck hepatocytes but could not deplete WHV replication intermediates and mRNAs in persistently infected hepatocytes. The cellular response to wIFN-gamma may be changed in hepatocytes from chronically WHV-infected woodchucks. It should be clarified in the future whether the continuous exposure of hepatocytes to inflammatory cytokines or the presence of viral proteins leads to changes of the cellular response to wIFN-gamma.

New therapeutic approaches for chronic hepatitis B virus infection based on immunomodulation are now under investigation. The woodchuck model for hepatitis B virus infection has emerged as a useful animal model for the evaluation of such approaches, after developing necessary assays and reagents for immunologic studies in this model. Conventional and novel vaccines such as DNA vaccines were tested in woodchucks for their ability to induce protective immune responses against challenge infection with the woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV). Furthermore, immunotherapeutic approaches for the control of chronic hepadnaviral infection were evaluated in woodchucks. Immunizations with WHV proteins and DNA vaccines led to the development of antibodies to the WHV surface antigen and to a significant decrease of viral load in chronically WHV-infected woodchucks. Viral vector-mediated gene transfer was explored for the delivery of antiviral cytokines IFN-alpha in woodchucks and resulted in the decrease of viral replication. It is now generally accepted that a combination of antiviral treatment and immunization will be necessary to achieve successful immunomodulation with a long-term control of chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

The woodchuck model is most suitable for vaccine studies of prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment of hepatitis B virus infection. Recently, methodological advances allowed the examination of antigen-specific T cell responses in woodchucks during woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) infection and vaccinations. Similar to hepatitis B virus infection in humans, multispecific T-cell responses to WHV occur during acute self-limiting infection in woodchucks. Immunizations with WHV core antigen (WHcAg) or DNA vaccines expressing WHcAg demonstrated that priming of specific T-cell responses leads to the control of WHV infection. B-cell responses but no T-cell responses to WHV surface antigens (WHsAg) were induced in chronically WHV-infected woodchucks by the therapeutic immunizations with WHsAg. Breaking T-cell tolerance appears to be critical for immunotherapeutic approaches to chronic hepatitis B.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the function of interferon alpha (IFNalpha) in a Chinese marmot model of hepatitis B, we expressed the Chinese marmot (Marmota himalayana) IFNalpha family gene (IFNA) in eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. METHODS: Eukaryotic and prokaryotic expression plasmids harboring Chinese marmot interferon alpha gene with different genotypes were generated using molecular cloning technology. We detected the biological activity of all expression products by viral protection assay, and analyzed their differences and species restriction of the biological activity. RESULTS: The Chinese marmot functional genotype IFNalpha was expressed in the baby hamster kidney (BHK) cell line, and these products protected WH12/6 cells challenged by encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). The Chinese marmot IFN-alpha5 also expressed in E. Coli induced by IPTG, and purified fusion protein had antiviral biological activity. The biologic activity displayed differences among different subtype IFNalpha, and it had strict species restriction. CONCLUSION: The IFNalpha family gene of the Chinese marmot can be expressed in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and the expression products show antiviral activity in a protection assay. This study provides, for the first time, evidence that IFNalpha from the Chinese marmot has an antiviral function in vitro and can be used to improve the efficacy of current therapies for HBV infection in our Chinese marmot model.

Escapes from conventional box traps, especially by previously captured animals, prompted development of an improved trap to catch woodchucks (Marmota monax). A comparison of trapping periods with improved and conventional traps showed a marked increase in the number of woodchucks captured with the improved trap, as well as an increase in the proportion of previously marked animals held.

In 1950s the number of black- capped marmot was being estimated as 80.000 individuals in the Northern-Eastern Yakutian mountains. The density of their population was characterized by a mean value which is equal to 25 individuals on 100 km2 of relative natural territory (Kapitonov, 1978). The received results of investigations show that M. Camschatica populations density is very low now- 9 individuals on 100 km2. These data are evidence of the fact that only about 30.000 marmots dwell in Northern-Eastern Yakutia. The marmot number is no more than several hundreds in Southern Yakutia. So it turned out that the present number of black-capped marmot is lower for 2, 3 times on the whole than it had been named to be 4 decades ago. The species number lowering is to be observed almost everywhere. It is evidence of obvious degradation of black-capped marmot Yakutian population.

Dans les années 50, le nombre de marmottes à tête noire a été estimé à 80.000 individus dans le nord-est des montagnes de Yakoutie. La densité y était de 25 individus pour 100 km2 sur un territoire naturel. Les comptages actuels montrent que la densité de la population de M. camtschatica est très faible, 9 individus pour 100 km2. Ceci indique que seulement 30.000 marmottes habitent le nord-est de la Yakoutie. Le nombre de marmottes est seulement de quelques centaines dans le Sud de la Yakoutie. Ainsi, le nombre actuel de marmottes est inférieur de 2 à 3 fois à celui observé 40 ans plus tôt. La chute des effectifs est observée presque partout. Une dégradation de la population de marmottes à tête noire est évidente.

En anglais, in English.

Using radiolabeled purified hepatitis B surface antigen and human liver slices, the affinity of hepatitis B virus to its host organ was evaluated. Saturable adsorption of the 125I-HBs Ag complex to liver was demonstrated over both time and complex concentration which could be blocked by excess unlabeled antigen. The specific binding was not found using human pancreas, lung, or kidney tissue. Correspondingly, no specific binding could be found for murine liver but it could be demonstrated with woodchuck liver. The woodchuck is a natural host for one of the newly described hepatitis B-like viruses which is antigenically cross-reactive with the B virus.

Oxygen consumption, heart rate and temperatures from various parts of the body were measured in woodchucks (Marmota monax) entering hibernation. Comparisons were made with the chilling of woodchucks anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, with and without the ganglionic blocking agent bis (trimethylammonium) hexane dibromide. Heart rate and oxygen consumption began to decline before any drop in body temperature as animals entered hibernation.The process was usually not continuous, for periodically the heart speeded, oxygen consumption and muscle action potentials increased and, shortly thereafter, the temperature rose transiently with the anterior portion of the body warming faster than the posterior. These partial rewarming were less frequent as the total period of hibernation became longer. As hibernators chilled, the heart was the warmest area, with the thorax warmer than the abdomen. Dead woodchucks curled in the hibernating position chilled faster than the hibernators with the central portion of the abdomen chilling the slowest. In the supine, anesthetized animal, with or without the ganglionic blocking agent, the flow of blood altered the chilling so that the area near the heart remained slightly warmer than the abdomen. If curled in the hibernating position, the heart region remained much warmer than the abdomen because blood flow was curtailed by the restricted position. Chilling of the hibernator was identical to, the curled, anesthetized animal except that the thoracic region of the former remained warmer due to periodic rewarmings, and also shivering in this well-muscled area.I t is concluded that entrance into hibernation is not strictly temperature-dependent and that the animal is vasodilated during this process.

Main behavioral patterns of marmots associated with certain seasons and periods of yearly cycle. Sufficiency and acceptability of widely ranging time factors (month, 10-day period, five-day period) for ecological characteristic of the population. Time or phenologic date is a calendar date plus a changeability factor expressed by either duration of inter-quartile area (25- 75 percent phenologic border transition), or its mean square (standard) deviation. A required 95 percent level of confidence in biological and geological studies logically confirms the median (transition of phenologic border by 50 percent of animals) to be a phenologic date. A variant with low labour cost - single observations - is normally applied. The risk of registration of extreme values as phenologic date grows sharply (they are rejected during statistical processing). Vast colonies of marmots make it possible to collect mass ecologic material. A low labour cost organoleptic method is applied (one of the methods is phenologic observations). Important factors affecting time shifts are altitude, exposition of slope, and weather conditions. The rhythms caused by environmental factors are stratified by endogenous rhythms, which eventually reflect climatic rhythms. Here are the examples of phenologic phenomena in different years in the Maidantal area of the Chatkal nature reserve (2600-2800 rn a.s.l., bottom of the valley): Coming out onto the surface - punching a hole in thick snow cover. Object - winter hole. Median – April 13.2, inter-quart - 6.4 days. Extremely early punching of holes is rejected. The beginning of feeding at thawed patches and the beginning of laying the first marking routes. Object - an animal. Median – April 19.7, inter-quart - 4.7 days. Coming out of new-born marmots from holes. Object - new-born marmot. Median - ]une 9.5, inter-quart - 3.3 days. The beginning of renovating the beddings in winter holes. Object - bring grass in the mouth. Median - May 12.0, inter-quart - 1l.4 days. The beginning of hibernation - last animals seen on the surface. Object - an animallast in the family to hibernate. Median - August 18.8, inter-quart - 8.5 days. Continuous rain or snowfall complete and cut off this phenologic phenomenon: median (50 percent) may coincide with 75 or even 100 percent of the objects, that is curve on the charts is cut off. Extreme phenologic dates are also possible.
