phylogenetic analysis of the haemagglutinin gene of canine distemper virus strains detected from breeding foxes, raccoon dogs and minks in china.	canine distemper virus (cdv) infects a variety of carnivores, including wild and domestic canidae. genetic/antigenic heterogeneity has been observed among the various cdv strains, notably in the haemagglutinin (h) gene, that appears as a good target to gather epidemiological information. based on sequence analysis of the h gene, wild-type cdv strains cluster into distinct geographic lineages (genotypes), irrespective of the species of isolation. the sequence of the h gene of 28 cdv strains detec ...	2010	19647380
genotyping of enterocytozoon bieneusi in farmed blue foxes (alopex lagopus) and raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) in china.	enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common species of microsporidia found both in humans and animals. farmed animals, particularly closely associated to humans, may play an important role of zoonotic reservoir in transmitting this disease to humans. the fur industry is a major economic component in some parts of china. to understand the prevalence, genotype variety and zoonotic risk of e. bieneusi in farmed foxes and raccoon dogs, two species of fur animals, fecal specimens of 110 blue foxes and ...	2015	26544711
prevalence, risk factors and molecular characterization of enterocytozoon bieneusi in raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) in five provinces of northern china.	the disease microsporidiosis is found worldwide and is mainly caused by enterocytozoon bieneusi. e. bieneusi can infect a wide range of hosts; however, information regarding the prevalence and genotyping of e. bieneusi infection in raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) is limited. therefore, in 2015, we examined 305 faecel samples from 80 farmed raccoon dogs in jilin province, from 54 in hebei province, from 72 in liaoning province, from 29 in shandong province, and from 40 in heilongjiang pro ...	2016	27260667
occurrence and multilocus genotyping of giardia intestinalis assemblage c and d in farmed raccoon dogs, nyctereutes procyonoides, in china.	giardia intestinalis, the only causative agent of human giardiasis, can infect a wide range of animals. as no information concerning the prevalence and genotyping of g. intestinalis in raccoon dogs in china is available, examination of 305 faecal samples from raccoon dogs in jilin province (n = 110), heilongjiang province (n = 40), liaoning province (n = 72), hebei province (n = 54) and shandong province (n = 29) was conducted to estimate the prevalence of g. intestinalis in raccoon dogs in nort ...	2016	27576343
