a survey of anti-ostertagia ostertagii antibody levels in bulk tank milk samples (btm) in dairy herds in lower silesia region (poland).	this work presents serological evidence of cattle ostertagiosis in the lower silesia region (poland), based on the measurement of antibodies in bulk tank milk (btm) samples. it represents the first evidence of this parasite examined with the use of the elisa test and milk samples in poland. the prevalence of ostertagia ostertagii antibodies was determined in btm from 32 dairy cattle herds. antibodies to o. ostertagii were demonstrated in all herds. the optical density ratio (odr) varied from -0. ...	2011	21528723
[isolation of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli strains from healthy cattle of the region of lower silesia].	the aim of the study was to determine if cattle from the region of lower silesia is the reservoir of shiga toxin-producing e. coli strains (stec) and the analysis of virulence factors of isolated stec strains. the ability of tested animal strains to shiga toxin synthesis was analysed in cytotoxicity assay in vitro on vero cell line and then confirmed by detection of shiga toxin-encoding genes by pcr. stec strains were isolated from 12 (15,2%) of animals examined, 21,4% of these strains were obta ...	2005	16773830
[evaluation of environmental exposure on persistent and toxic organic halogens].	the environmental concentrations of the persistent organohalogen compounds has been presented basing on the own results which were compared with the data published by the other authors. the predicted exposure of polish population to pcdds and pcdfs including combustion processes as a main potential source of the exposure has also been discussed. analysis of the breast milk from silesia region in poland showed no substantial difference as compared to milk in other european countries.	1996	8754943
[occurrence of human taeniasis and cysticercosis in pigs and cattle in the katowice district].	cases of taeniosis were mostly caused by taenia saginata (318 cases--84.8%). they were more frequently found in urban populations (255 cases, which is 68%) than in villagers (63 cases--16.80%). among the studied subjects there were fewer women than men (women--147, 39.2%, men--171--46.67%); taeniosis was diagnosed most frequently among persons aged 30-39 (89 cases--23.73%) and only rarely in children aged 0-9 (8 cases--2.13%). from 1986 through 1994 cysticercosis caused by cysticercus bovis was ...	1995	8834509
rabies enzootic situation in animals on lower silesia in 1983-1992.	considerable increase (average 70%) of rabies cases in animals on lower silesia, occurred in second half of the decade 1983-1992. foxes were a reservoir of the virus and epizootic spread of the disease had been noted among them. in other animal species, both wildlife and domestic, only sporadic outbreaks were noted. they were a consequence of contact of these animals with infected foxes, in which from 85% to 90% incidences a year were stated. parallel rise of rabies cases in cats makes this anim ...	1994	8590907
[exposure to lead in the silesian region].	the work is based on the determination of blood lead levels performed by the central laboratory of toxicology of heavy metals in workers employed in various plants in the katowice voivodship. the method of atomic absorption (asa) was used for the determination. the laboratory has participated successfully in the inter-laboratory programme of quality assurance. the study revealed that the highest exposure to lead occurs in overhaul and dismantle plants (group ii) which work for large industrial e ...	1993	8159083
