| survey of leptospiral agglutinins in the sera of swine of southeastern alabama. | the occurrence of leptospirosis in swine of southeastern alabama was determined. a total of 627 sera were tested, using the microscopic agglutination method, with live antigens of 12 serovars. of the sera tested, 121 (19.3%) had a titer of 1:100 or greater to the serovars employed. the percentage distribution of sera with titers of greater than or equal to 1:100 among serovars most commonly reported was as follows: leptospira interrogans serovars pomona, 3.8%; icterohaemorrhagiae, 3.3%; canicola ... | 1979 | 507487 |

| 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 |

| isolation of mycoplasma flocculare from swine in the united states. | during 1977 to 1980, mycoplasma flocculare was isolated from the lungs of 7 swine in the united states. two of the swine were from a single alabama herd, 1 was from minnesota, 2 were from different illinois herds, and 2 were from different indiana herds. three of the swine were from specific-pathogen-free herds and 4 were from conventional herds. the lungs from the 7 swine had gross lesions typical of mycoplasmal pneumonia. two lungs yielded a mixture of m flocculare and m hyopneumoniae; the rem ... | 1981 | 7283233 |
| isolation and characterization of trichinella pseudospiralis garkavi, 1972 from a black vulture (coragyps atratus). | a nematode from the genus trichinella was observed in histological sections of breast and tracheal muscles from a black vulture coragyps atratus from alabama. larvae obtained from breast muscle tissue that had been refrigerated for 8 days were infectious for laboratory mice. no nurse cell was observed around larvae in the black vulture or in experimentally infected mice examined 7 or 9 wk postinoculation. the identity of the parasite as trichinella pseudospiralis was confirmed by dna hybridizati ... | 1995 | 8544065 |
| teaching international animal agriculture. | students who major in animal science at u.s. institutions are generally exposed to a curriculum that emphasizes commercial, large-scale production of the few traditional food animals: cattle, poultry, sheep, and swine. globally, most farmers live in lesser-developed countries under limited-resource conditions of land, feed supplies, equipment, and capital. the promotion of commercial animal production enterprises may not be appropriate for such farms because it can subject farmers to considerabl ... | 1999 | 10568483 |

| prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis e virus in veterinarians working with swine and in normal blood donors in the united states and other countries. | hepatitis e virus (hev) is endemic in many developing and some industrialized countries. it has been hypothesized that animals may be the source of infection. the recent identification of swine hev in u.s. pigs and the demonstration of its ability to infect across species have lent credence to this hypothesis. to assess the potential risk of zoonotic hev infection, we tested a total of 468 veterinarians working with swine (including 389 u.s. swine veterinarians) and 400 normal u.s. blood donors ... | 2002 | 11773103 |
| emergence and re-emergence of vesicular stomatitis in the united states. | vesicular stomatitis (vs) is an important disease of cattle, horses and pigs. the causal agent is an arbovirus; vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) of which two distinct serotypes new jersey (nj) and indiana (in) have been described. the clinical signs in cattle and pigs are undistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease (fmd), one of the most devastating viral infections of livestock. vsv is the most important cause of vesicular disease in fmd-free countries in the americas, causing thousands of ou ... | 2002 | 12034487 |

| prevalence of salmonella in diverse environmental farm samples. | the development of suitable intervention strategies to control salmonella populations at the farm level requires reliable data on the occurrence and prevalence of the pathogen. previous studies on salmonella prevalence have focused on acquiring data from specific farm types and/or selected regions. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution of this pathogen across a variety of farm types and regions in order to generate comparative data from a diverse group of environmental sampl ... | 2006 | 17133798 |
| detection and characterization of avian influenza and other avian paramyxoviruses from wild waterfowl in parts of the southeastern united states. | cloacal swabs were taken from migratory hunter-killed, nonmigratory, nesting waterfowl and migratory shorebirds from wildlife refuges in alabama, georgia, and florida during 2006 to 2008. samples were processed in embryonated eggs followed by hemagglutination (ha), directigen, and real-time reverse transcription-pcr tests. sequence analysis of the hemagglutinin (h) gene of the h10n7 alabama isolate revealed that it was closely related (98%) to recent isolates from delaware and canada, but only 9 ... | 2009 | 19276434 |
