[seroepidemiologic investigations in the alpine ibex (capra i. ibex) of piz albris in the canton of grigioni (switzerland)].	sero-epidemiological investigations in wild animals may allow to assess distribution of selected pathogens that sometimes seem to be involved in sanitary interrelationships between wild and domestic ungulates sharing the same areas. serological studies were carried out to investigate the prevalence of antibody against 8 pathogens in alpine ibex of albris colony (grisons, switzerland). investigated sera came from 89 animals shot by gamekeepers in 1990-1991. antibody against smooth brucella, coxie ...	1995	8584868
[ovine enzootic abortion: seroprevalence in switzerland using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (celisa)].	the present study gives an overview over the seroprevalence of ovine enzootic abortion in switzerland. 639 sheep flocks out of eight cantons in switzerland were examined by a competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (celisa) for antibodies against chlamydophila abortus (chlamydia psittaci serotype 1), the agent causing ovine enzootic abortion. the eight cantons included aargau, bern, zürich, appenzell-ausserrhoden, appenzell-innerrhoden and fribourg, the vallais and the graubünden. they wer ...	2002	12677686
seroprevalences for ovine enzootic abortion in switzerland.	our aim was to assess the seroprevalence of chlamydophila (cd) abortus (chlamydia psittaci serotype 1), denoted ovine enzootic abortion (oea), in the swiss sheep population. a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (celisa) was adapted for the investigation of pooled serum samples (pool approach) and receiver-operator characteristic (roc) analysis was applied to define the cut-off of the pool approach. at a cut-off value of 30% inhibition, the flock-level pooled sensitivity and specificit ...	2004	15488271
