bamhi restriction endonuclease analysis of yersinia ruckeri plasmids and their relatedness to the genus yersinia 42- to 47-megadalton plasmid.	the plasmid profile and bamhi restriction pattern of 17 sorbitol-negative and 1 sorbitol-positive french yersinia ruckeri strain of the american type strain were studied. the 17 sorbitol-negative strains and the american strain harbored a 62-megadalton (mda) plasmid with an identical bamhi restriction pattern. southern hybridization indicated that this 62-mda plasmid is common among these various strains. the sorbitol-positive strain had four plasmid bands (70, 62, 32, and 25 mda), and there was ...	1988	3202639
serologic testing of badgers to monitor plague in southwestern idaho.	serologic testing of badgers (taxidea taxus) was used to monitor plague (yersinia pestis) in a townsend ground squirrel (spermophilus townsendi) population in 10,000 ha of the snake river birds of prey study area, idaho. eighty-six percent of the 294 sera tested in 1975 and in 1976 were positive. significantly fewer (72%) seropositives occurred in 1977. seasonal changes in the percentage of seropositives and the decline in 1977 were probably due to the phenology of the townsend ground squirrel a ...	1983	6842729
