    Summary: This book summarizes the latest research on sheepgrass, both in China and around the globe, as well as fundamental information on the topic. Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel) is a key species in the eastern part of the Eurasian steppe and widely distributed in northern China. It is highly adaptable and holds considerable value in terms of animal husbandry and ecology / the environment. Over the past thirty years, Chinese scientists have collected and evaluated a wealth of wild sheepgrass germplasm data, and extensive basic research has been conducted on the plants sexual reproduction, yield, quality, and resistance. In addition, methods for utilizing new varieties in different regions have been developed. This book describes the distribution and origin, breeding, cultivation, and sexual reproduction of sheepgrass. It also discusses recent advances concerning its nutrient and water absorption and applications, grazing resistance mechanism, and gene resources mining.

    In early January, 1976, an outbreak of gastroenteritis caused by contamination of the water supply system occurred in Salt, Jordan. This outbreak was followed by the appearance of peripheral neuropathy in 19 cases diagnosed as Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Clinically, gastroenteritis was suggestive of Shigellosis and one of nine patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, grew Shigella boydii. Epidemiology of the 19 cases with peripheral neuropathy is detailed. Seventeen patients had definite gastroenteritis symptoms prior to their neuropathy. The median incubation period was seven days.
