| landscape associations of the sand fly, lutzomyia (heleocyrtomyia) apache (diptera: psychodidae), in the southwestern united states: a geographic information system analysis. | landscape associations of the sand fly, lutzomyia apache, young and perkins, in the southwestern u.s. were investigated by light/suction trap sampling and the development of a gis-generated distribution map. in the mid-rio grande river valley, n.m., female and male l. apache were captured in updraft light/suction traps set in desert shrubland, irrigation levee, and bosque vegetation communities. small numbers of flies were captured, but the presence of males and females in spatially separate and ... | 2004 | 15707279 |
| vector competence of select black fly species for vesicular stomatitis virus (new jersey serotype). | black flies collected from southern arizona were evaluated for their vector competence to the oaxaca and camp verde isolates of vesicular stomatitis virus (new jersey serotype) (vsv-nj). the camp verde isolate is the index isolate of the 1982-1983 vsv-nj epizootic that infected humans and livestock in 14 western states. previous experiments have shown that colonized simulium vittatum females are competent laboratory vectors of both virus isolates. however, under controlled laboratory conditions, ... | 1997 | 9242316 |
| serologic survey for evidence of exposure to vesicular stomatitis virus, pseudorabies virus, brucellosis and leptospirosis in collared peccaries from arizona. | two hundred eighteen usable serum samples were collected from hunter-killed collared peccaries (tayassu tajacu) during march 1986, in three areas of arizona. evaluations for antibodies against vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) new jersey (nj) type, vsv indiana type, pseudorabies virus, brucellosis, and leptospirosis revealed positive test results in 8%, 0%, less than 1%, 0%, and 23% of the sera, respectively. exposure of peccaries to vsv (nj) was widespread, but variation in the prevalence of ser ... | 1987 | 2824864 |
| trajectory analysis of winds and vesicular stomatitis in north america, 1982-5. | outbreaks of vesicular stomatitis, serotype new jersey, during epidemics in the united states and northern mexico, 1982-5, were examined by backward trajectories of winds to investigate spread and possible sources. the outbreaks selected for analysis did not involve introduction of disease by infected animals. the findings indicate that wind could have been responsible for carrying infection from northern mexico to arizona and new mexico and thence to colorado and utah and on to wyoming, idaho a ... | 1990 | 2157606 |
| 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 |
