[ecology of leishmaniasis in the south of france. -- 12. horizontal dispersion of phlebotomus ariasi tonnoir, 1921. preliminary experiments (author's transl)].	by use of mark-release-recapture methods, evidence was obtained of the distance of the dispersion of phlebotomus ariasi tonnoir, 1021. female flies, collected in a valley in the cévennes mountains (at roquedur, gard), were marked with fluorescnt powders, released an then recaptured by searching with ultra-violet lamps. the majority of the flies recapture were among ones given a blood meal shortly before release. recaptures were made from the second day after release. a number of females migrated ...	1979	550718
[leishmania infantum nicolle, 1908, the agent of the autochthonous oriental sore. apropos of the biochemical identification of 2 strains isolated in the eastern pyrenees].	two strains of parasites isolated from cases of oriental sore in the pyrénées-orientales were identified by electrophoretic analysis of eight isoenzymes (pgm, pgi, g-6-pdh, 6-pgdh, idh, mdh, me and got). both strains were identical with leishmania infantum nicolle, 1908, which normally causes visceral leishmaniasis. it is probable that, in the mediterranean region, some cutaneous lesions observed within the area of visceral leishmaniasis are caused by this species rather than by leishmania tropi ...	1980	6780226
ecology of leishmaniasis in the south of france. 19. determination of the hosts of phlebotomus ariasi tonnoir, 1921 in the cévennes by bloodmeal analyses.	engorged sandflies were collected using 58 cdc light traps set up nightly for 5 weeks at 12 stations in the commune of roquedur, gard, france, in the cévennes focus of leishmaniasis. of 782 engorged females, 593 were phlebotomus ariasi, 3 were p. mascittii and 186 were not identified. using the precipitin ring test and counter-current immuno-electrophoresis, the bloodmeals were tested with antisera to man, leporids, rodents, canids, mustelids, equids, suids, bovids, birds, lizards and amphibia. ...	1984	6508140
human dirofilariasis due to dirofilaria repens in france. a review of reported cases.	in france, more than 5,000 dogs have been tested for dirofilaria in 1986. among them, 1.4% harboured dirofilaria repens microfilariae in their blood. most of the positive cases were from corsica and southern france. the reported cases of human dirofilariasis probably or surely due to d. repens in france are here reviewed. about 60 cases have been observed but approximately 30, more or less well documented, have been published from 1900 to 1996. a subconjunctival location of the worm and a subcut ...	1997	9802096
importance in france of the infestation by dirofilaria (nochtiella) repens in dogs.	the presence of dirofilaria repens has been mentioned in europe, in africa and in asia, in different carnivores (dogs, foxes, cats, lions). in europe the nematode has been reported in dogs, cats and foxes and the countries concerned by native cases are italy, spain, greece, yugoslavia and france. in france, until now, d. repens has been described, among animals, only in dogs. the first undoubted report dates back to 1953. later, the prevalence was studied through widespread surveys (1986-1988-19 ...	1997	9802099
isoenzymatic analysis of 712 strains of leishmania infantum in the south of france and relationship of enzymatic polymorphism to clinical and epidemiological features.	in the south of france, leishmaniasis due to leishmania infantum occurs in the following five foci of endemicity (from west to east): pyrénées-orientales, cévennes, provence, côte d'azur, and corsica. between 1981 and 2002, 712 leishmania strains obtained from humans, dogs, cats, and sand flies were studied by isoenzyme analysis. in total, seven zymodemes were identified: mon-1, mon-11, mon-24, mon-29, mon-33, mon-34, and mon-108. the pyrénées-orientales focus is characterized by a predominance ...	2004	15364993
[the discovery of hypoglycemic sulfonamides].	in 1933 auguste loubatières started to work at the physiological laboratory of the montpellier medical school, famous for the scientific work of emmanuel hédon and then louis hédon on experimental diabetes mellitus. auguste loubatières was particularly interested in the study of a new preparation of long-lasting insulin (insulin-protamine-zinc: ipz) in the totally pancreatectomized dog. in 1938, he observed that high doses of ipz induced a severe and protracted hypoglycemia entailing convulsive ...	2007	17978743
