| serological evidence of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in switzerland. | to investigate whether human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (hge) is prevalent in switzerland, 1515 human serum samples from individuals with different risks for tick exposure were tested for antibodies to ehrlichia phagocytophila, a surrogate marker of the agent of hge. the distribution of titres showed marked differences between sera of individuals with no or low risk for tick exposure and those with a high risk. the results of serological testing provided evidence of hge in switzerland as well as ... | 1998 | 9665305 |
| neuropathological and aetiological studies of sporadic non-suppurative meningoencephalomyelitis of cattle. | sporadically occurring non-suppurative encephalitis appears to be a frequent condition of swiss cattle. fifty-one such cases diagnosed over a period of 10 years were examined retrospectively to investigate whether they constituted one or more distinct diseases, and to search for aetiological agents. three cases were characterised by periventricular granulomatous encephalitis, and most probably represented a different disease, but the remaining 48 cases had disseminated non-suppurative encephalit ... | 1998 | 9773471 |
