| isolation and genetic characterization of avian origin h9n2 influenza viruses from pigs in china. | as pigs are susceptible to infection with both avian and human influenza a viruses, they have been proposed to be an intermediate host for the adaptation of avian influenza viruses to humans. in april 2006, a disease caused by highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) occurred in several pig farms and subsequently overwhelmed almost half of china with more than 2,000,000 cases of pig infection. here we report a case in which four swine h9n2 influenza viruses w ... | 2008 | 18403137 |
| the effect of a combined approach to schistosomiasis control on the transmission of schistosoma japonicum in xingzi of poyang lake area, china. | the impact of a combined approach to schistosomiasis control from 1987 to 1989 and mass chemotherapy from 1992 to 1994 was studied in a rural community in xingzi county in the northwest corner of poyang lake in jiangxi province, china. humans, cattle, buffalo and pigs were known potential reservoirs of schistosoma japonicum. transmission occurs during water contact on and around seasonally flooded marshes that are used for grazing, the harvesting of grass and fishing. humans and livestock underw ... | 1996 | 9185265 |
| ascaris, people and pigs in a rural community of jiangxi province, china. | a longitudinal investigation on natural populations of ascaris in humans and pigs and an investigation of soil contamination with ascaris eggs were carried out from june 1993 to june 1994 in 2 villages, manhu area, xinjian county, jiangxi province, china. results from these studies indicate that although human ascariasis is endemic there is significant fluctuation in both prevalence and the mean number of eggs/g faeces (epg) of the communities. fluctuation of age-stratified prevalence and mean e ... | 1996 | 8939051 |
| an epidemiological study of influenza viruses among chinese farm families with household ducks and pigs. | to examine the possibility of interspecies transmission and genetic reassortment of influenza viruses on farms in southern china, we surveyed 20 farm families living outside the city of nanchang who raised pigs and ducks in their homes. weekly interviews of family members and virus isolation studies of throat swabs and faecal samples, collected from september 1992 to september 1993, established the seasonal pattern of respiratory tract infections in these families and identified 11 influenza vir ... | 1996 | 8760967 |
| influenza infection in humans and pigs in southeastern china. | the three last pandemic strains of influenza a virus-asian/57, hong kong/68 and russian/77-are believed to have originated in china. the strains responsible for the 1957 and 1968 human pandemics were reassortants incorporating both human and avian influenza viruses, which may have arisen in pigs. we therefore undertook a population-based study in the nanchang region of central china to establish the prevalence, types and seasonal pattern of human influenza infection and to screen serum samples f ... | 1996 | 8645101 |
