isolation of encephalomyocarditis virus from dormice (myoxus glis) in italy.	two isolates of encephalomyocarditis (emc) virus (zrc 276ra/90 and zrc 292ra/90) were isolated from two dormice (myoxus glis) in tuscany, italy. the two isolates were lethal for laboratory mice and caused a rapid cytopathic effect characterized by rounded and wrinkled cells in both baby hamster kidney cells (bhk21) and african green monkey kidney cells (vero). we found neutralizing antibodies against emc virus in 408 (77%) of 529 domestic pigs (sus scrofa scrofa) and in 165 (49%) of 338 wild boa ...	1995	8583644

species, biotype and serogroup of campylobacter spp. isolated from children with diarrhoea over a ten-year period.	from 1981 to 1990, stool samples from 6403 gastroenteritis cases were examined for the presence of campylobacters as well as salmonella, shigella, aeromonas species and yersinia enterocolitica. the percentages of isolation were the following: campylobacters 10.8 (86.1% of isolates were c. jejuni and 13.9% were c. coli), salmonella spp. 8.4, aeromonas spp 1.4, yersinia enterocolitica 0.3. shigella spp. were isolated only occasionally. predominant biotypes of campylobacters were c. jejuni i (69.5% ...	1997	9385599

mario gozzano: the work of an eeg pioneer.	the study of the early history of electroencephalography can yield fascinating insights and surprises. a revisit to the work of mario gozzano (1898-1986) has proved to be particularly stimulating. his eeg study of 1935 is a classic and should be resurrected from the graveyard of history. gozzano was an eminent clinical neurologist-epileptologist and chairman of the neurological-psychiatric university departments in cagliari, pisa, bologna and, from 1951 to his retirement, in rome. he quickly rec ...	2002	12449845
monitoring and in vivo ecotoxicological evaluation of surface water quality in umbria and tuscany, italy.	new zealand white male rabbits have been watered for 45 days with surface water taken from three sites on lake trasimeno (umbria, italy) and from two artificial reservoirs along the tiber river, one located on the upper tract of the river, just at the border between the regions of tuscany and umbria, and the other at the southernmost end of the tiber umbrian tract, just before it leaves umbria. the detoxifying enzymatic activity (erod) in rabbits was evaluated and used as an indicator of the che ...	2003	12940600
