  Inoculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inoculation, originally Variolation, is a method of purposefully infecting a person with smallpox (Variola) in a controlled manner so as to minimise the severity of the infection and also to induce immunity against further infection.
Inoculation in the East was historically performed by blowing smallpox crusts into the nostril, but in Britain, Europe and the American Colonies the preferred method was rubbing material from a smallpox pustule from a selected mild case - Variola Minor - into a scratch between the thumb and forefinger.
In France considerable opposition arose to the introduction of inoculation.

 Inoculation Theory
The term, "Inoculation Theory," is drawn from the public health practice of giving shots to prevent serious diseases.
Inoculation works because it causes the receivers to engage in systematic processing about the attitude object.
In essence, inoculation is a kind of judo where the receivers are tricked into thinking about the object.

 Shiitake Mushroom Production: Obtaining Spawn, Obtaining and Preparing Logs, and Inoculation F-40
Inoculation is the introduction of the live shiitake fungus into the log.
Inoculation should always be done in a shaded area to avoid direct exposure of the spawn to sunlight.
While the entire inoculation process can be done by one person, a minimum of three is suggested: one person to drill holes, one to place the spawn in the holes and one to seal the inoculation sites.

 Inoculation effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In communication theory, the inoculation effect refers to a strategy of prejudicing one's audience against an opposing argument they may hear in the future.
Inoculation effect can also be used in medicine to refer to the body's response to an introduction of a vaccine through a process called inoculation.
It is also used in psychology, for example, to sensitise and prime people to being able to handle stress (see stress inoculation).

 Unasylva - No. 92 - Afforestation of treeless areas
In countries where inoculated nurseries and plantations already exist, infection may be transported to new ones through spore flight or, for instance, in soil adhering to tools, car tires or shoes of foresters moving from one nursery to another.
The success of the inoculation also depends on the physical and chemical properties of the nursery soil; in other words, it is not enough merely to introduce the fungus into the soil, but the conditions must be suitable for its further growth.
Inoculation is practiced in Argentina when new nurseries are established in formerly treeless areas, where mycorrhizal fungi are presumably lacking.

Inoculations are generally sent whenever a misclassification occurs or when the message is of particular interest or urgency.
The Inoculation Subtype The inoculation subtype specifies the nature of the message body to be a complete message, spam or nonspam, presented for inoculation to the recipient's filter agent.
A "spam" inoculation type must be accompanied by a message that is deemed to be spam by the sender and a "nonspam" inoculation type must be accompanied by a message that is deemed to be innocent by the sender.

Inoculation of TC plants, caused measurable changes in plant growth during the first two growing cycles, however, the responses to inoculation varied with cultivar, suggesting that a level of plant-fungus specificity may exist in EMF associations with blueberry plants that influences plant growth.
Inoculation of HC with EMF increased colonization on cuttings under the cultural practices used in the nursery, however colonization decreased between 3 months and 5 months after sticking suggesting that the specific cultural conditions used during propagation decreases colonization by both natural and inoculated populations of the fungi.

 Nitrogen Fixation and Inoculation of Forage Legumes
Ensure that the package of inoculant is labeled with a serial number, the legumes for which the culture is to be used, the date of expiration, and storage method.
Inoculation can be beneficial to the establishment of effective N fixation on new seedlings of legumes in areas 1) where a legume of the cross-inoculation group has not been grown previously or 2) where N-fixing bacteria soil populations have been severely reduced by adverse soil conditions such as drought or soil acidity.
Inoculate in all cases when there is doubt as to whether bacteria of the proper strain are already present in the soil.

 Seed Inoculation
Dry inoculant can be mixed with seed, but it is difficult to assure good mixing and to avoid much of the inoculant from falling on the ground some distance from the seed.
Properly inoculated seeds have thousands of bacteria per seed; however, only one bacterium is needed to infest a seedling's root.
If alfalfa was not inoculated prior to planting, there is at least one commercial bacterial preparation that can be mixed with water and sprayed on alfalfa to improve inoculation with rhizobia.

 Inoculation
However, for this relationship to occur, the seed must be properly inoculated with the appropriate strain of Rhizobium bacteria.
Inoculants are available in various forms including dry peat, liquid and granular.
Granular inoculant, a relatively new form of inoculant, has alleviated many of the concerns with inoculant applications.

 Seed Inoculation
Inoculant is relatively inexpensive and several new products have entered the market, creating a renewed interest in seed inoculation even on fields that have a history of soybean production.
The decision on whether or not to inoculate is still dependent on whether the field has a recent history of healthy-looking soybeans.
The practice of inoculating fields that have been out of soybean for more than three to five years may still be a good insurance practice due to the inexpensive nature of the inoculant.

 Ag Answers: Seed inoculation Helps Soybeans Get Nitrogen
Three years of research done at Ohio State shows that seed inoculation is an inexpensive way to improve soybean yields by increasing nitrogen availability to plants.

For example, after inoculation on the hind quarters, the glands in the jaws and shoulders are often swollen, while, on the other hand, anthrax from feeding sometimes leaves the glands in the jaws unaffected and the glands in one or both inguinal regions are swollen.
To test the resistance of inoculated sheep to natural infection, both commissions adopted this procedure: After inoculation, the animals were immediately placed with a similar number of uninoculated sheep in a meadow where, according to experience, anthrax was prevalent.

Inoculated plants had larger daughter corms and produced more cormels than non-inoculated plants but inoculation also preferentially increased biomass partitioning to daughter corms over cormels resulting in a lower average weight per cormel.
Inoculation increased concentrations and content of potassium (K), nitrogen (N), zinc (Zn), and non-reducing sugars in daughter corms.
Changes in biomass partitioning between corms and cormels in response to VAMF inoculation may be important in determining factors that influence the multiplication rate of this crop.

 Comparative efficiency of feline immunodeficiency virus infection by DNA inoculation.
Direct inoculation of genetic material in DNA form is a novel approach to vaccination that has proved efficacious for a number of viral agents.
DNA inoculation was found to be a reliable means of infection, although seroconversion and the rise in PBMC virus load were delayed relative to intramuscular or intraperitoneal inoculation of virus.
In conclusion, DNA inoculation of proviral DNA will be of use as a novel method of cell-free virus challenge and may have further potential for the delivery of lentiviral vaccines.

28) a case of inoculation in a person with an injured hand who was employed to rub sulphur ointment on leprous patients, his family being quite free from the disease, and no history of previous association with lepers being obtainable.
Macnamara says:— "This report establishes unequivocally the fact that the inoculated man has become leprous; and, as he had been inoculated three years previously, there is every reason to believe that the disease is the result of the inoculation.
However, the case for inoculation does not rest upon Dr. Arning’s experiment, but on the un impeachable evidence of numerous reputable witnesses in all parts of the world, and on the fact admitted by pathologists that, given suitable conditions, all bacterial diseases are inoculable.
