| antibodies to some pathogenic agents in free-living wild species in tanzania. | a total of 535 sera from eight species of wildlife were collected from different game areas in tanzania between 1987 and 1989. these sera were tested for antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease, bovine herpes virus types 1 and 2, lumpy skin disease, bovine viral diarrhoea, akabane, bovine ephemeral fever, bluetongue, enzootic bovine leucosis, african horse sickness and african swine fever viruses and brucella abortus based on the expected species susceptibility. sera from buffalo syncerus caff ... | 1990 | 2123458 |
| african swine fever virus infection of the bushpig (potamochoerus porcus) and its significance in the epidemiology of the disease. | warthog (phacochoerus aethiopicus), giant forest hog (hylochoerus meinertzhageni) and bushpig (potamochoerus porcus) are known to be susceptible to infection with african swine fever (asf) virus. little however, is known about the ecology of the disease in the bushpig. this study has shown that the bushpig remains viraemic for between 35 and 91 days following infection during which time it is able to infect the tick vector o. moubata. these ticks were able to transmit the disease to pigs. the vi ... | 1998 | 9659687 |
| global mammal parasite database version 2.0. | illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ... | 2017 | 28273333 |
| experimental infection of warthos (phacochoerus aethiopicus) with african swine fever virus. | although there were no obvious signs of illness following experimental infection of young warthog with african swine fever virus, the animals developed viraemias between 10(2,4) and 10(3,6) hd50/ml within the first week of infection, and virus concentrations in a number of lymphatic tissues attained high levels (greater than or equal to 10(6) hd50/g). unlike in blood, and to some extent in the spleen, virus titres in lymph nodes did not decline appreciable during the 33-day observation period, s ... | 1980 | 7454231 |
| absence of ornithodoros moubata, the vector of african swine fever virus, from the main pig producing area of cameroon. | no evidence for the presence of soft ticks of the ornithodoros moubata complex was found during a survey of african swine fever carried out between 1985 and 1988 in the west province and southern parts of the north west and south west provinces of cameroon. the survey consisted of interviews of veterinary assistants and farmers, distribution of a questionnaire and tick searches both manually and with carbon dioxide traps. the absence of warthogs (phacochoerus aethiopicus) from these areas was al ... | 1990 | 2371751 |
