| hepatozoon canis infection of wild carnivores in brazil. | hepatozoon canis was diagnosed in a crab-eating fox (cerdocyon thous) found on a highway in the region of botucatu, são paulo, brazil, after being hit by a car. the fox had bilateral fractures of the olecranon, which was corrected by osteosynthesis. hematologic findings included a neutrophilia, eosinophilia, monocytosis and mild anemia. in the leishman-stained blood film, gametocytes of hepatozoon canis in neutrophils were identified measuring 9.1 +/- 0.54 x 5.3 +/- 0.46 microns. | 1997 | 9211653 |
| monoclonal antibody characterization of rabies virus strains isolated in the river plate basin. | in this study, 91 strains isolated in the river plate basin, south america, were examined from the epidemiological standpoint and with monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to the nucleocapsid of rabies virus. such strains reacted to mabs in accordance with nine different patterns (antigenic variants). rabies virus was isolated from 49 cattle, 21 dogs, 11 non-haematophagous bats, four vampire bats, two foxes, two horses, one buffalo, and one human. five of the variants had not been described previously. ... | 1997 | 9394612 |
| visceral leishmaniasis in the hoary zorro dusicyon vetulus: a case of mistaken identity. | the historical identification of the brazilian 'north-eastern' zorro as dusicyon vetulus is questioned in relation to its incrimination as a reservoir of leishmania chagasi, the agent of american visceral leishmaniasis. comparative cranial and dental morphology showed that specimens of this north-eastern species more closely resemble the crab-eating zorro cerdocyon thous, conforming with the documented geographical ranges of the respective species. we conclude that the single 'wild' canid host o ... | 1996 | 8944254 |
| [direct agglutination tests in the serodiagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in the state of pará]. | the direct agglutination test (dat) was evaluated for serodiagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) in human and canids (dogs and foxes cerdocyon thous). the results were compared with those of the immunofluorescent antibody assay (ifat) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the sera used were from: humans (303): confirmed vl (16), suspected vl (65), other conditions (102), negative controls (15) and individuals from an endemic area (105); dogs (82): from an endemic area (68), salvaterra ... | 1996 | 8713608 |
| epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis: a comparative serological study of dogs and foxes in amazon brazil. | the paper describes a longitudinal field study of canine leishmaniasis in sympatric domestic dog and crab-eating fox (cerdocyon thous) populations. dogs were studied in house-to-house surveys, and foxes were studied by live-trapping and radio-telemetry. because serological tests (ifat in this case) for leishmaniasis are often of uncertain sensitivity and specificity, we draw conclusions comparatively. both cross-sectional (age-prevalence) and longitudinal analyses indicate that incidence in dogs ... | 1994 | 7970884 |
| evolution of the zfx and zfy genes: rates and interdependence between the genes. | a phylogenetic analysis of sex-chromosomal zinc-finger genes (zfx and zfy) indicates that the genes have not evolved completely independently since their initial separation. the sequence similarities suggest gene conversion in the last exon between the duplicated y-chromosomal genes zfy-1 and zfy-2 in the mouse. there are also indications of conversion (or recombination) between the x- and y-chromosomal genes in the crab-eating fox and in the mouse. the method for estimating synonymous and nonsy ... | 1993 | 8487630 |
