wintering of neurotropic velogenic newcastle disease virus and west nile virus in double-crested cormorants (phalacrocorax auritus) from the florida keys.during november 2002, six double-crested cormorants (dccs; phalacrocorax auritus) were found moribund in big pine key, fl, exhibiting clinical signs indicative of neurologic disease. postmortem diagnostic evaluations were performed on two adult birds. virulent newcastle disease virus (ndv) was isolated from a cloacal swab from cormorant 1. west nile virus (wnv) was isolated from the brain and lung of cormorant 2. nucleotide sequence analysis of a portion of the fusion (f) protein gene of the ndv ...200516094838

west nile virus epizootiology, central red river valley, north dakota and minnesota, 2002-2005.west nile virus (wnv) epizootiology was monitored from 2002 through 2005 in the area surrounding grand forks, north dakota. mosquitoes were tested for infection, and birds were surveyed for antibodies. in 2003, wnv was epidemic; in 2004, cool temperatures precluded wnv amplification; and in 2005, immunity in passerines decreased, but did not preclude, wnv amplification.200616965705
using a neural network for mining interpretable relationships of west nile risk factors.the west nile virus (wnv) is an infectious disease spreading rapidly throughout the united states, causing illness among thousands of birds, animals, and humans. yet, we only have a rudimentary understanding of how the mosquito-borne virus operates in complex avian-human environmental systems. the four broad categories of risk factors underlying wnv incidences are: environmental (temperature, precipitation, wetlands), socioeconomic (housing age), built-environment (catch basins, ditches), and ex ...201020950908
fatal pyogranulomatous myocarditis in 10 boxer puppies.over a period of 5 years, 10 pure-bred boxer puppies, 9-16 weeks old, were presented with a history of sudden death and were diagnosed with pyogranulomatous myocarditis. the myocarditis was characterized by a mixed infiltrate composed predominantly of neutrophils and macrophages. in our retrospective study, original case records and archived materials were examined. all dogs were positive for borrelia burgdorferi on immunohistochemistry (ihc). there was no evidence of infectious agents in formal ...201626965234
a serosurvey of diseases of free-ranging gray wolves (canis lupus) in minnesota.we tested serum samples from 387 free-ranging wolves ( canis lupus ) from 2007 to 2013 for exposure to eight canid pathogens to establish baseline data on disease prevalence and spatial distribution in minnesota's wolf population. we found high exposure to canine adenoviruses 1 and 2 (88% adults, 45% pups), canine parvovirus (82% adults, 24% pups), and lyme disease (76% adults, 39% pups). sixty-six percent of adults and 36% of pups exhibited exposure to the protozoan parasite neospora caninum . ...201728192048
mosquitoes in moose country: a mosquito survey of northern minnesota.an adult mosquito survey was conducted at 12 sites using carbon dioxide traps in northern minnesota throughout the summer of 2012. specimens were counted, identified to species, sorted into pools, and tested for eastern equine encephalitis (eeev) and west nile virus (wnv). our findings extend the known range of culiseta melanura, anopheles barberi, and an. quadrimaculatus and document the presence and abundance of 27 other mosquito taxa in the region. none of the pools tested positive for eeev o ...201627280346
clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical findings in bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus) and golden eagles (aquila chrysaetos) naturally infected with west nile virus.fifteen bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus) and 3 golden eagles (aquila chrysaetos) were diagnosed with west nile disease based on 1) presence of lesions in brain, eyes, and heart, 2) viral antigen detection in brain, eyes, heart, kidney, and/or liver by immunohistochemical staining, 3) detection of viral rna in tissue samples and/or cerebrospinal fluid (csf) by polymerase chain reaction, and/or 4) detection of west nile virus (wnv)-specific antibodies in csf by serum neutralization assay. we ...201425085868
