| prevalence and distribution of sarcocystis sp among wild swine of southeastern united states. | digestive techniques revealed sarcocystis sp infection in 62 of 192 (32%) wild swine collected in alabama, arkansas, georgia, louisiana, mississippi, north carolina, south carolina, tennessee, virginia, and west virginia. sarcosporidia were not detected in wild swine of florida and were rarely found in the lower coastal plains of georgia, mississippi, and south carolina. swine from mountainous terrain in north carolina, tennessee, and west virginia and bottomland floodplain regions of alabama, a ... | 1981 | 6799467 |
| recovery of salmonella from bermudagrass exposed to simulated wastewater. | most confined swine (sus scrofa) feeding operations in the southeastern united states hold manure in lagoons and apply effluent on bermudagrass [cynodon dactylon (l.) pers.] as fertilizer. salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (ex kauffman and edwards) le minor and popoff, has been reported in mississippi lagoons, but levels and potential for contamination of bermudagrass were unknown. a laboratory method was developed to examine salmonella contamination of bermudagrass and levels of salmonella we ... | 2009 | 19141824 |
| tick-borne disease agents in various wildlife from mississippi. | because tick-borne diseases are becoming increasingly important throughout the world, monitoring their causative agents in wildlife may serve as a useful indicator of potential human exposure. we assessed the presence of known and putative zoonotic, tick-borne agents in four wildlife species in mississippi. animals were tested for exposure to or infection with ehrlichia chaffeensis, ehrlichia ewingii, borrelia lonestari, rickettsia spp., anaplasma phagocytophilum, and francisella tularensis. who ... | 2011 | 20846016 |

| environmental injustice and the mississippi hog industry. | the recent growth and restructuring of the swine industry in the state of mississippi has raised various environmental and socioeconomic concerns. we spatially examined the location and attributes of 67 industrial hog operations to determine if african american and low-income communities have a high prevalence of industrial hog operations located near their neighborhoods at the census block group level. we used spatial data and cross-classification analysis to compare the prevalence of industria ... | 2002 | 11929728 |
| elevated potassium intake inhibits neointimal proliferation in the swine coronary artery. | previously, we reported that elevated extracellular potassium concentration in vitro inhibited proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, formation of free radical compounds by macrophages, and reduced platelet sensitivity to agonists. more recently, we described a reduction in neointimal proliferation after balloon angioplasty injury in the carotid arteries of rats associated with an elevation of dietary potassium intake during a 4-week experiment. in the present study we cond ... | 2001 | 11587153 |

| comparison of host-feeding patterns between anopheles quadrimaculatus sibling species a and b. | bloodmeal sources for sympatric species a and b of anopheles quadrimaculatus in an area of mississippi were identified using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. females had fed only on 6 species of mammals including dog/fox, pig, opossum, raccoon, cottontail rabbit and white-tailed deer. the latter species was the predominant host, representing 96.7 and 89.5% of the bloodmeals taken by species a and b, respectively. no marked difference in feeding patterns was found. | 1991 | 1791465 |
| arthritis in the prehistoric southeastern united states: biological and cultural variables. | recent research shows that a bacterial life form, erysipelothrix insidiosa, can produce rheumatoid arthritis in deer, swine, and dogs, and that a number of animals, including man, birds, and fish, may be infected by the organism. examination of the archaeological record suggests that both cultural and biological variables may be interrelated in the maintenance of some forms of arthritis over long periods of time in geographically disparate populations. re-examination of cherokee folk beliefs con ... | 1975 | 1098480 |

| rhipicephalus sanguineus: vector of a new spotted fever group rickettsia in the united states. | a rickettsia related to but distinct from the spotted fever agent, rickettsia rickettsii, has been detected in 167 (18.9%) of 884 rhipicephalus sanguineus taken off dogs in central and northern mississippi. the organisms could readily be isolated in male meadow voles (microtus pennsylvanicus), where it produced massive infections in the tissues of tunica vaginalis. it was practically nonpathogenic for male guinea pigs, although inoculation of these animals with infected tunica vaginalis of voles ... | 1975 | 806533 |
| an evolving pattern of human hydatid disease transmission in the united states. | echinococcus granulosus infection was being acquired in the contiguous united states by virginia sharecroppers and small-holders by the turn of the century. the last recorded human infection from that general area was diagnosed in 1947. by 1920 human infections were also being acquired in the lower mississippi valley. apparently, infection in both of these areas was maintained chiefly in swine. by 1940 a third transmission area definitely existed in the central valley of california, with its res ... | 1977 | 329700 |
| influenza exposure in united states feral swine populations. | swine play an important role in the disease ecology of influenza. having cellular receptors in common with birds and humans, swine provide opportunities for mixed infections and potential for genetic reassortment between avian, human, and porcine influenza. feral swine populations are rapidly expanding in both numbers and range and are increasingly coming into contact with waterfowl, humans, and agricultural operations. in this study, over 875 feral swine were sampled from six states across the ... | 2008 | 18436668 |
| comparison of dietary selenium fed to grower-finisher pigs from various regions of the united states on resulting tissue se and loin mineral concentrations. | a study was conducted to evaluate the mineral content of pork tissue with particular emphasis on se between various states (regions) having different diet (grain) indigenous se concentrations. the study involved 19 states in the north, central, and southern regions of the united states, with committee members of ncr-42 and s-1012 (formerly s-288). a total of 62 pigs were used, with collaborators sending 100-g samples each of loin, heart, and liver, and a 3- to 4-g sample of hair (collected along ... | 2005 | 15753340 |
