| advances in automation for experimental pathology. | the establishment of the national center for toxicological research (nctr), jefferson, ar, to study long term effects of low doses of potentially toxic substances, including carcinogens, resulted in the initiation of chronic experiments requiring histophatologic studies of large numbers of animals. processing the tissues and recording and analyzing the massive amount of pathologic data from these studies required innovative automated technics. the result was a unique computerized pathology data ... | 1976 | 775190 |
| antibodies to vesicular stomatitis virus in populations of feral swine in the united states. | from 1979 to 1985, 941 feral swine (sus scrofa) from 53 locations in 15 states were serologically tested for antibodies to vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv). antibodies to new jersey serotype vsv were present in 75 swine from five locations in arkansas, florida, georgia, and louisiana. within these populations, antibody prevalences ranged from 10 to 100%. no antibodies to indiana serotype were detected. | 1986 | 3016348 |
| phage typing of the mycobacterium avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum complex. a study of strains of diverse geographic and host origin. | a total of 339 strains of the mycobacterium avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum complex were phage typed using our previously described technique and 11 typing phages. these included 235 strains of human origin obtained from state health laboratories in virginia, georgia, florida, and arkansas, 26 strains isolated from persons with aids, 38 strains isolated from animals, and 40 environmental isolates. a phage-typing scheme was developed that denotes sensitivity to 8 primary typing phages: the jf g ... | 1985 | 4026062 |

| 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 |
| brucellosis in wild swine: a serologic and bacteriologic survey in the southeastern united states and hawaii. | sera from wild swine from 20 populations in 11 southeastern states and hawaii were tested for brucellosis by the card, tube, plate, buffered plate antigen, complement-fixation, and rivanol tests. twenty-one of 352 (6.0%) swine were considered seropositive, and these animals originated from 7 populations in 5 states: arkansas, florida, georgia, louisiana, and south carolina. cultural examinations for brucella suis also were made from subsamples of the swine tested serologically. brucella suis bio ... | 1982 | 7174444 |
| seroprevalence of and risk factors for toxoplasma gondii in the us swine herd using sera collected during the national animal health monitoring survey (swine 2006). | the united states department of agriculture (usda) initiated the national animal health monitoring system (nahms) in 1983 to collect, analyse and disseminate data on animal health, management and productivity in us domestic livestock populations, including swine. the programme includes an on-farm serological sampling component which can be used to monitor seroprevalence of various pathogens, including toxoplasma gondii. the purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of t. gondii i ... | 2010 | 19744304 |

| pet rodents and fatal lymphocytic choriomeningitis in transplant patients. | in april 2005, 4 transplant recipients became ill after receiving organs infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (lcmv); 3 subsequently died. all organs came from a donor who had been exposed to a hamster infected with lcmv. the hamster was traced back through a rhode island pet store to a distribution center in ohio, and more lcmv-infected hamsters were discovered in both. rodents from the ohio facility and its parent facility in arkansas were tested for the same lcmv strain as the 1 i ... | 2007 | 17553250 |
| a comparison of preferences for pork sandwiches produced from animals with and without somatotropin administration. | experimental auction markets were designed and used to investigate consumer preferences for sandwiches produced with meat from pigs treated with porcine somatotropin. a second-price, sealed-bid auction procedure was used to determine willingness to pay to exchange a pork loin sandwich with leaner meat from pigs treated with somatotropin for a similar sandwich with meat from untreated pigs. the research was conducted using a sample of 114 undergraduate students in iowa, arkansas, massachusetts, a ... | 1995 | 7628947 |
