| characterization of rabies virus isolated from canids and identification of the main wild canid host in northeastern brazil. | the rabies cases in dogs and wild canids in northeastern brazil are a public and animal health problem. this paper describes the identities of the coding region of the n-gene of rabies virus (rabv) isolated in canids from northeastern brazil. the genetic tree generated using the sequence data described here divided the cluster brazilan canids into two subclusters (dog-related strains and wild canid-related strains) with identities greater than those already described. the two subclusters are sub ... | 2008 | 17889396 |
| molecular characterization of rabies virus isolates from dogs and crab-eating foxes in northeastern brazil. | thirty-eight samples of rabies virus isolated from dogs and crab-eating foxes (cerdocyon thous) in northeastern brazil were characterized genetically by analyzing the g gene and the psi region. the results show that there are two groups of rabies virus lineages circulating among domestic and wild animals in the region. the topologies of the phylogenetic trees of the g gene and psi region are similar and reveal the existence of geographic groups. the genetic diversity of the lineages isolated fro ... | 2009 | 19185599 |
| isolation of rabies virus from the parotid salivary glands of foxes (pseudalopex vetulus) from paraíba state, northeastern brazil. | to determine the presence of rabies virus in the parotid salivary glands, 12 road-killed rabies-positive hoary foxes (pseudoalopex vetulus) were tested by using the fluorescent antibody test (fat) and mouse inoculation test (mit). all 12 parotid salivary glands were positive for both tests, although in some cases several passages were required. the findings of this study support the importance of the hoary fox as rabies reservoir in the sem-iarid region of paraíba state, northeastern brazil. | 2009 | 24031385 |
| complete genome analysis of a rabies virus isolate from brazilian wild fox. | the complete genome sequence of wild-type rabies virus (rabv) isolated from a wild brazilian hoary fox (dusicyon sp.), the br-pfx1 isolate, was determined and compared with fixed rabv strains. the genome structure and organization of the br-pfx1 isolate were composed of 11,924 nt and included the five standard genes of rhabdoviruses. sequences of mrna start and stop signals for transcription were highly conserved among all structural protein genes of the br-pfx1 isolate. all amino acid residues ... | 2009 | 19701711 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
| 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 |
