| [evolution of rabies focus in malaga]. | authors describe the evolution of a canine rabies focus which started in 1975 in the spanish province of malaga, probably from a north african rabid dog. this focus, which spread mainly in 1975-1976 is considered now as eradicated, thanks to vaccination and control of dog populations. two fox rabies cases, reported in 1977, were not followed by the development of a selvatic rabies epizootic. | 1982 | 7128088 |

| serosurvey study of toscana virus in domestic animals, granada, spain. | abstract toscana virus (tosv) is transmitted by infected sandflies. in mediterranean countries, tosv is one of the major viral pathogens involved in aseptic meningitis and meningoencephalitis in humans. it remains unclear if there are animal reservoirs able to maintain the virus through the cold months of the year, when the vector is not circulating. from may to october of 2006 and 2007, we conducted a serosurvey study on domestic animals from granada province (southern spain). tosv was investig ... | 2010 | 20925529 |
| importance of canine distemper virus (cdv) infection in free-ranging iberian lynxes (lynx pardinus). | canine distemper virus (cdv) is a morbillivirus that is the etiological agent of one of the most important viral diseases affecting canids and an expanding range of other carnivores. using real-time rt-pcr, cdv rna was detected in organs of an iberian lynx (lynx pardinus) found dead in the doñana national park, southwestern andalusia, spain. this finding may be of great importance for the conservation of the species; at present the iberian lynx is the most critically endangered wild felid. the a ... | 2010 | 20570061 |
