| two new species of nippostrongylinae (nematoda: trichostrongylina: heligmonellidae) from the grey leaf-eared mouse graomys griseoflavus (sigmodontinae) in argentina. | two new species of nippostrongylinae, hassalstrongylus puntanus n. sp., and stilestrongylus franciscanus n. sp. are described from the intestine of the grey leaf-eared mouse graomys griseoflavus (waterhouse, 1837) (sigmodontinae) from the province of san luis, argentina. hassalstrongylus puntanus n. sp. is distinguished from the most closely related species h. dollfusi (díaz-ungría, 1963), a parasite of mus musculus from venezuela by longer rays 2, shorter rays 4, proximal half of the dorsal ray ... | 2003 | 12669346 |
| [new findings on junin virus infection in rodents inside and outside the endemic area of hemorrhagic fever in argentina]. | in conjunction with field trials for a vaccine against argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf), small mammals were trapped during a 28-month period (1 november 1987 to 13 march 1990) in 3 epidemiologically defined areas of the central argentine pampas: northern and central buenos aires provinces were included in the ahf "historic" area, where the disease was common 15-20 years ago, but case rates are currently low; southern santa fe province is the current high-incidence area for ahf; the nonendemic a ... | 1991 | 7476104 |
| hantavirus infection in laboratory and wild rodents in argentina. | serum samples from urban and laboratory rats, laboratory mice and wild and laboratory cricetids in argentina were tested by immunofluorescence and plaque reduction neutralization tests to investigate prevalence of anti-hantavirus antibodies. a total of 102 sera were obtained from laboratory rodents in 4 different animal-rooms, 31 from harbor rats and 30 from wild cricetids in 1985-1987. anti-hantavirus antibodies were detected in 22.5% of rattus norvegicus in 3 of the animal-rooms but harbor rat ... | 1990 | 1981381 |
| junin virus activity in rodents from endemic and nonendemic loci in central argentina. | small mammals were trapped during a 21-month period at 27 farm sites in 15 localities within and beyond the known endemic area for argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf). prevalence of junin virus (jv) was assessed by antigen-capture enzyme immunoassay (elisa) on samples of body fluids and/or organs from 3, 282 captured rodents. infection in rodent populations was variable (0-3.7%) among localities but, in all cases, was lower than previously reported rates. overall prevalence was 1.4% in the ahf epi ... | 1991 | 1650148 |
