Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae with population declines in several other wild caprinae, including the Norwegian muskox. "Mycoplasma" species are labile organisms which are easily destroyed by heat, dehydration, sunlight, and common disinfectants, so they do not survive for a long time outside the body of the animal. As of now, and with many "Mycoplasma" diseases, no protective immune responses have been achieved with the use of vaccines, though antibodies can be obtained. <br> Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is a species of "Mycoplasma" bacteria that most commonly inhabits and affects ovine animals. "M. ovipneumoniae" is a respiratory pathogen of domestic sheep, domestic goats, bighorn sheep,
Alternatives to animal testing test dummies, complete with internal sensors and video, have replaced live animal trauma testing for automobile crash testing. The first of these was "Sierra Sam" built in 1949 by Alderson Research Labs (ARL) Sierra Engineering. These dummies continue to be refined. Prior to this, live pigs were used as test subjects for crash testing. Computer models have been constructed to model human metabolism, to study plaque build-up and cardiovascular risk, and to evaluate toxicity of drugs, tasks for which animals are also used. In 2007, US researchers using the world's fastest computer at the time, BlueGene L, modeled half a
