| serosurvey of ex situ giant pandas (ailuropoda melanoleuca) and red pandas (ailurus fulgens) in china with implications for species conservation. | conservation strategies for the giant panda (ailuropoda melanoleuca) include the development of a self-sustaining ex situ population. this study examined the potential significance of infectious pathogens in giant pandas ex situ. serologic antibody titers against canine distemper virus (cdv), canine parvovirus (cpv), canine adenovirus (cav), canine coronavirus (ccv), canine herpesvirus, canine parainfluenza virus (cpiv), toxoplasma gondii, neospora caninum, and leptospira interrogans were measur ... | 2007 | 18229861 |
| Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Dogs in Sichuan Province, Southwestern China. | Abstract There is a lack of information concerning the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in dogs from southwestern China. In the present study, serum samples from 314 household dogs were collected from Wenchuan, Heishui, and Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province, southwestern China in May and June 2010, and detected T. gondii antibodies by an indirect haemagglutination test (IHA). Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 11 of 314 (3.5%), with IHA titers of 1:64 in 4 dogs, 1:128 in 3, 1:256 in 2 ... | 2011 | 21864132 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau of china. | toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii), a zoonotic parasite infects almost all warm-blooded animals and causes significant economic losses. to date, however, it is still unclear whether yaks from the qinghai-tibetan plateau of china are exposed to t. gondii. on the present study, a survey was conducted for the first time, to investigate the seroprevalence of t. gondii infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau (qinghai, tibet, hongyuan area of sichuan province). a total of 905 and 7 ... | 2014 | 25085769 |
| genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii from pigs from different localities in china by pcr-rflp. | toxoplasma gondii is a widely prevalent protozoan parasite that causes serious toxoplasmosis in humans and animals. the present study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of t. gondii isolates from pigs in jiangxi, sichuan, guangdong provinces and chongqing municipality in china using multilocous polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) technology. | 2013 | 23919620 |
