prevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in man and animals in guangdong, peoples republic of china.	tissue and serum samples from animals and man in guangdong province of the peoples republic of china were examined for toxoplasma gondii infection. tissues from 519 swine, 576 rodents, 84 people, one cat and two dogs were bioassayed in mice. t. gondii was isolated from 13 pools of swine tissues, but not from any other hosts. serum samples from animals and man were examined at 1:64 dilution in the indirect hemagglutination test. antibodies to t. gondii were found in 10.4% of 816 pigs, 0.9% of 955 ...	1990	2316181
purification of larval taenia solium antigens by isoelectric focusing.	by preparative isoelectric focusing in a rotating ampholine column, crude cystic membrane (m) or fluid (f) antigens of larval taenia solium were each separated into 20 fractions. m fractions were less specific and sensitive than f fractions in detecting cysticercosis antibodies in pig serum. among the f fractions, f15 showed the best potential to serve as a screening antigen. it contained 18 polypeptides, with pi 5.3-8.2 and a specific epitope of 25 kda which was detected by immunoblotting. alth ...	1998	9561707
[surveillance on severe acute respiratory syndrome associated coronavirus in animals at a live animal market of guangzhou in 2004].	to study the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (sars-cov) like virus in animals at a live animal market of guanzhou in 2004 before and after culling of wild animal action taken by the local authority, in order to predict the re-emerging of sars from animal originals in this region.	2005	15921605
characterization of the h5n1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus derived from wild pikas in china.	the highly pathogenic h5n1 avian influenza virus emerged from china in 1996 and has spread across eurasia and africa, with a continuous stream of new cases of human infection appearing since the first large-scale outbreak among migratory birds at qinghai lake. the role of wild birds, which are the natural reservoirs for the virus, in the epidemiology of the h5n1 virus has raised great public health concern, but their role in the spread of the virus within the natural ecosystem of free-ranging te ...	2009	19553321
