| survey of the large-animal diplomates of the american college of veterinary internal medicine regarding knowledge and clinical use of polymerase chain reaction: implications for veterinary education. | a questionnaire was developed to document the knowledge base of large-animal diplomates of the american college of veterinary internal medicine (acvim) regarding polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technology and to identify the common use of this technology in equine practice. ninety-three of the 278 mailed questionnaires were returned, for an overall response rate of 33.4%. ninety respondents (99%) reported being familiar with the general principles of nucleic acid probe technology; however, only ... | 2006 | 17220506 |
| wolbachia surface protein (wsp) inhibits apoptosis in human neutrophils. | polymorphonuclear cells (pmns) are essential for the innate immune response against invading bacteria. at the same time, modulation of pmns' apoptosis or cell death by bacteria has emerged as a mechanism of pathogenesis. wolbachia bacteria are gram-negative endosymbionts of filarial nematodes and arthropods, phylogenetically related to the genera anaplasma, ehrlichia and neorickettsia (family anaplasmataceae). although several pathogens are known to interfere with apoptosis, there is only limite ... | 2007 | 17241395 |
| salmon poisoning disease in dogs on southern vancouver island. | salmon poisoning disease in dogs has previously been reported in north america only along the western coast of the u.s.a. this paper presents the findings from eight affected dogs recently diagnosed on vancouver island, canada. the clinical signs shown by these dogs were lethargy, anorexia, pyrexia and lymph node enlargement. the causative agent, neorickettsia helminthoeca was observed in macrophages obtained from lymph node aspirates. this organism is transmitted to dogs in cysts of the fluke n ... | 1984 | 17422349 |
| biomedical evaluation of free-ranging ring-tailed lemurs (lemur catta) in three habitats at the beza mahafaly special reserve, madagascar. | complete physical examinations and biomedical sample collection were performed on 70 free-ranging ring-tailed lemurs (lemur catta) from three different habitats in the beza mahfaly special reserve (bmsr), in southern madagascar, to assess the impact of humans and habitat on lemur health. lemurs were chemically immobilized with ketamine and diazepam administered via blow darts for concurrent biomedical, morphometric, and behavioral studies. subsets of the animals had blood analyzed for hematology ... | 2007 | 17679503 |

| abortion in a horse following neorickettsia risticii infection. | a pregnant 18-year-old quarterhorse mare presented with fever, anorexia, tachycardia, tachypnea, and gastrointestinal hypermotility at day 68 of gestation. potomac horse fever was diagnosed based on polymerase chain reaction (pcr) analysis of whole blood and a high antibody titer to neorickettsia risticii. the mare made a rapid clinical recovery following antibiotic therapy, but aborted 98 days later. necropsy on the aborted fetus revealed lymphohistiocytic colitis, lymphadenitis, myocarditis, a ... | 2008 | 18987240 |

| sennetsu neorickettsiosis: a probable fish-borne cause of fever rediscovered in laos. | neorickettsia sennetsu has been described from japan and malaysia, causing a largely forgotten infectious mononucleosis-like disease. because it is believed to be contracted from eating raw fish, frequently consumed in the lao pdr, we looked for evidence of n. sennetsu among lao patients and fish. a buffy coat from 1 of 91 patients with undifferentiated fever was positive by 16s rrna amplification and sequencing and real-time polymerase chain reactions (pcr) targeting two n. sennetsu genes. lao ... | 2009 | 19635868 |
| analysis of complete genome sequence of neorickettsia risticii: causative agent of potomac horse fever. | neorickettsia risticii is an obligate intracellular bacterium of the trematodes and mammals. horses develop potomac horse fever (phf) when they ingest aquatic insects containing encysted n. risticii-infected trematodes. the complete genome sequence of n. risticii illinois consists of a single circular chromosome of 879 977 bp and encodes 38 rna species and 898 proteins. although n. risticii has limited ability to synthesize amino acids and lacks many metabolic pathways, it is capable of making m ... | 2009 | 19661282 |

| neorickettsia helminthoeca and salmon poisoning disease: a review. | neorickettsia helminthoeca is an obligate intra-cytoplasmic bacterium that causes salmon poisoning disease (spd), an acute, febrile, fatal disease of dogs. the complex life-cycle of this pathogen involves stages in an intestinal fluke (nanophyetus salmincola), a river snail (oxytrema silicula), in fish, and in fish-eating mammals. this complexity has created confusion with respect to the various bacterial and parasitic infections associated with the disease and its significance in dogs in specif ... | 2011 | 20044285 |
| [ehrlichiosis/anaplasmosis]. | ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are zoonoses caused by bacteria from the family anaplasmataceae, including human and animal pathogens. the human pathogens are ehrlichia chaffeensis, the causative agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis (hme), anaplasma phagocytophilum, the pathogen causing human granulocytic anaplasmosis (hga), e. ewingii and neorickettsia sennetsu, granulocytotropic and monocytotropic ehrlichia species, respectively. ehrlichia spp. are small, gram-negative, obligate intracellular b ... | 2009 | 20077398 |

| vector-borne diseases in client-owned and stray cats from madrid, spain. | abstract the role of various vector-borne pathogens as a cause of disease in cats has not been clearly determined. the current study evaluated risk factors, clinical and laboratory abnormalities associated with ehrlichia spp., anaplasma spp., neorickettsia spp., leishmania spp., and bartonella spp. infection or exposure in 680 client-owned and stray cats from madrid, spain. our results indicate that a large portion (35.1%) of the cat population of madrid, spain, is exposed to at least one of t ... | 2011 | 22022820 |
| legionella pneumophila secretes a mitochondrial carrier protein during infection. | the mitochondrial carrier family (mcf) is a signature group of integral membrane proteins that transport metabolites across the mitochondrial inner membrane in eukaryotes. mcf proteins are characterized by six transmembrane segments that assemble to form a highly-selective channel for metabolite transport. we discovered a novel mcf member, termed legionellanucleotide carrier protein (lncp), encoded in the genome of legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of legionnaire's disease. lncp was se ... | 2012 | 22241989 |
