gastrointestinal parasites of the eastern cottontail (sylvilagus floridanus) in central pennsylvania.	during a 3 year period, 186 eastern cottontails (sylvilagus floridanus) were trapped from two areas and examined for helminth and protozoan parasites. fecal samples from 139 were evaluated for coccidia and helminth ova. nine species of coccictia were identified: eimera audubonii, e. azul, e. environ, e. honessi, e. maior, e.minima, e. neoirresidua, e. neoleporis, and e. sylvilagi. ova from 5 helminth species were found: cittotaenia sp., hastilesia tricolor, passalurus sp., a trichostrongyle-type ...	1980	7463607
sarcocystis sp. in the eastern cottontail (sylvilagus floridanus).	sarcocystis sp. was observed in 100 of 185 (54.1%) eastern cottontails (sylvilagus floridanus) examined in pennsylvania over a three year period. gross and histologic examination commonly revealed cysts in skeletal muscle of the fore and hind legs, flanks and loins. two rabbits had cysts in esophageal skeletal muscle. host response to sarcocystis sp. is described. adult rabbits had a significantly greater rate of infection (69.3%) than juveniles (20.7%) (p less than 0.01).	1982	6808158

serum antibody prevalence for herpesvirus sylvilagus, bacillus piliformis and california serogroup arboviruses in cottontail rabbits from pennsylvania.	a serologic survey of 60 eastern cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) from three counties in pennsylvania was conducted in march 1983. serum antibody prevalences for herpesvirus sylvilagus and la crosse virus (california serogroup) were less than 4%. there was no evidence of previous exposure to either jamestown canyon or snowshoe hare viruses (california serogroup). antibody to trivittatus virus (california serogroup) was found in 60% of the 20 cottontails from york county. no cottontails ...	1988	3373643

health effects of outdoor air pollution. committee of the environmental and occupational health assembly of the american thoracic society.	particles, sox, and acid aerosols are a complex group of distinct pollutants that have common sources and usually covary in concentration. during the past two decades, the chemical characteristics and the geographic distribution of sulfur oxide and particulate pollution have been altered by control strategies, specifically taller stacks for power plants, put in place in response to air pollution regulations adopted in the early 1970s. while the increasing stack heights have lowered local ambient ...	1996	8542133
neosporosis-associated bovine abortion in pennsylvania.	neospora caninum was found in fetal tissues of 34 of 688 cases of bovine abortion submitted to the pennsylvania animal diagnostic laboratory system during the period from may 1994 to november 1996. the aborted fetuses ranged in gestational age from 3 to 8 months. microscopic lesions consisted primarily of encephalitis and myocarditis. a labeled (strept) avidin-biotin staining procedure using anti-n. caninum polyclonal rabbit serum revealed n. caninum organisms within the fetal brain (27 of 27), ...	1998	9561715
applying a nutribusiness approach to increase animal source food consumption in local communities.	animal source foods (asf) in the diets of schoolchildren are beneficial for supporting optimal physical and cognitive development. nevertheless, behavioral change and economic development are needed to increase and sustain adequate meat product consumption by schoolchildren in developing countries. a nutribusiness enterprise may be one way for local communities to promote economic development while increasing the availability of meat for children. this work evaluates the feasibility of a nutribu ...	2003	14672307

asymptomatic factor vii deficiency in african americans.	african americans with factor vii (fvii) deficiency, as defined by clinical laboratory values, are frequently asymptomatic. to date the genotypes underlying this fvii defect in asymptomatic african americans have not been established. we show in 3 unrelated african-american patients that the defect is due to a g to a nucleotide change resulting in an arginine to glutamine mutation in factor vii amino acid 304. this defect results in low fvii coagulant activity levels using rabbit brain thrombopl ...	2006	16753603
cryptococcosis in liver and kidney transplant recipients receiving anti-thymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab.	rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (atg) and alemtuzumab have been used for induction or preconditioning and for the treatment of acute rejection in organ transplant recipients in many centers. such regimens may lead to a substantial decline in the cd4 lymphocyte count to levels seen in other population groups at high risk of cryptococcosis. in view of this, we examined the impact of such therapy on the cumulative incidence of cryptococcosis among liver and kidney recipients. a total of 834 liver an ...	2007	17313467
