life cycle of the tick haemaphysalis leporis-palustris (acari: ixodidae) under laboratory conditions.	the life cycles of two separate populations (colonies a and b) of the rabbit tick, haemaphysalis leporis-palustris, were studied under laboratory conditions. domestic new zealand rabbits, oryctolagus cuniculus, and wild rabbits, sylvilagus brasiliensis, were used as hosts for ticks from colony b and only o. cuniculus rabbits were used as hosts for ticks from colony a. developmental periods were observed in an incubator at 27+/-1 degrees c and rh 90+/-5%. larvae from colonies a and b fed for 8.0+ ...	2000	11227826
characterization and infectivity of four bacterial strains isolated from brown ring disease-affected clams	four bacterial strains isolated from carpet-shell clams (ruditapes decussatus) and manila clams (r. philippinarum) exhibiting brown ring disease (brd) symptoms in galicia (northwest of spain) were characterized using biochemical and serological techniques. moreover their pathogenicity for clams and resistance against clam hemolymph were determined. all of the vibrio isolates exhibited biochemical characteristics typical of the genus. strains gr1703rp and gr6301rp, isolated from r. philippinarum ...	1998	9446735
detection of leishmania (viannia) braziliensis complex in wild mammals from colombian coffee plantations by pcr and dna hybridization.	the small mammal fauna of coffee plantations in sw colombia was surveyed to determine which of the species present were infected with parasites of the leishmania (viannia) braziliensis complex and might therefore act as reservoirs of human cutaneous leishmaniasis. fifty animals of seven different species were captured. tissue samples were taken from the ears of specimens from each of the seven species. thirty three samples were analysed by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using oligonucleotide pr ...	1998	9588240
myxoma virus in rabbits.	myxoma virus in european rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) is one of the best documented examples of host-virus co-evolution. in the natural hosts (sylvilagus brasiliensis or s. bachmani rabbits in the americas), myxoma virus causes a benign cutaneous fibroma. in european rabbits, however, myxoma virus causes the fulminant disease, myxomatosis. when introduced into wild european rabbit populations in australia, europe and great britain, the virus was initially highly lethal, killing in excess of 9 ...	1998	9638815
vibrio pectenicida sp. nov., a pathogen of scallop (pecten maximus) larvae.	five strains were isolated from moribund scallop (pecten maximus) larvae over 5 years (1990-1995) during outbreaks of disease in a hatchery (argenton, brittany, france). their pathogenic activity on scallop larvae was previously demonstrated by experimental exposure. the phenotypic and genotypic features of the strains were identical. the g + c content of the strains was in the range 39-41 mol%. dna-dna hybridization showed a minimum of 73% intragroup relatedness. phylogenetic analysis of small- ...	1998	9731288
intraspecific characterization of vibrio tapetis strains by use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, ribotyping, and plasmid profiling.	a total of twenty-two strains of vibrio tapetis, the causative agent of brown ring disease affecting cultured clams, were compared and evaluated in an investigation of strain heterogeneity using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge), ribotyping, and plasmid profile analysis. a total of 90.9% of v. tapetis strains tested by using noti showed the same pfge pattern, consisting of 15 bands. in contrast, the v. tapetis strains showed a low degree of similarity with six reference vibrio species test ...	1997	9097443
