phylogeographic dispersion and diversification of rabies virus lineages associated with dogs and crab-eating foxes (cerdocyon thous) in brazil.	genetic lineages of dog-associated rabv still circulate in some areas of the north and northeast of brazil. in parallel, another rabv lineage circulates among wild canids in the northeast, particularly the crab-eating fox (cerdocyon thous). although previous studies and phylogenetic analyses have been carried out, the way in which these lineages are dispersed temporally and spatially remained to be elucidated. in this study, rabv n gene sequences isolated from canids in north and northeast brazi ...	2013	23749047
first isolation and rflp genotyping of toxoplasma gondii from crab-eating fox (cerdocyon thous-linnaeus, 1766).	wild animals may play an important role in the transmission and maintenance of toxoplasma gondii in the environment. the purpose of the present study was to isolate and genotype t. gondii from a free-ranging crab-eating fox (cerdocyon thous-linnaeus, 1766). a crab-eating fox in critical health condition was attended in a veterinary hospital in recife, pernambuco state, brazil. the animal died despite emergency treatment. the brain was collected aseptically and destined for mouse bioassay. one is ...	2017	28119049
bartonella species pathogenic for humans infect pets, free-ranging wild mammals and their ectoparasites in the caatinga biome, northeastern brazil: a serological and molecular study.	this study verified the occurrence of bartonella spp. in dogs, cats, wild mammals and their ectoparasites in petrolina and lagoa grande counties, pernambuco, located in a semi-arid region in northeastern brazil. anti-bartonella spp. antibodies were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay (ifa) in 24.8% of dogs (27/109) and in 15% of cats (6/40). bartonella sp. dna was identified by pcr performed on dna extracted from blood and ectoparasites using primers targeting bartonella sp. glta and r ...	2017	28249707
