| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii and neospora caninum infection in dairy cows in subtropical southern china. | toxoplasma gondii and neospora caninum are closely related protozoan parasites which cause lowered production and increased abortion in dairy cows. the aim of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of t. gondii and n. caninum infection in dairy cows in the guangxi zhuang autonomous region (gzar), subtropical southern china. in total, 875 serum samples were collected from the tail veins of dairy cows in 6 main dairy cow-rearing districts of 4 administrative cities in gzar. the samp ... | 2012 | 22717118 |
| prevalence and genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii infection in bats in southern china. | toxoplasma gondii can infect a wide variety of warm-blooded animals, including bats. limited information on t. gondii infection in bats is available in china. the objective of the present study was to determine prevalence and genetic diversity of t. gondii infection in bats in southern china. a total of 608 bats representing 12 species, including 120 aselliscus stoliczkanus, 59 myotis chinensis, 11 miniopterus schreibersii, 53 rhinolophus affinis, 32 rhinolophus pusillus, 81 hipposideros armiger ... | 2014 | 24813744 |
| a duplex quantitative real-time pcr assay for the detection of haplosporidium and perkinsus species in shellfish. | a duplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (dq-pcr) assay was optimized to simultaneously detect haplosporidium spp. and perkinsus spp. of shellfish in one reaction. two sets of specific oligonucleotide primers for haplosporidium spp. and perkinsus spp., along with two hydrolysis probes specific for each parasite group, were used in the assay. the dq-pcr results were detected and analyzed using the light cycler 2.0 software system. the dq-pcr identified and differentiated the two ... | 2013 | 23371501 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in bred cynomolgus monkeys ( macaca fascicularis ) in china. | little is known of the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in bred cynomolgus monkeys ( macaca fascicularis ) in china. in the present survey, 240 serum samples of cynomolgus monkeys from 4 nonhuman primate centers in guangxi zhuang nationality autonomous region (gx), and 120 serum samples from 2 nonhuman primate centers in guangdong province (gd) were obtained, and the modified agglutination test (mat) was performed to assay for anti- t. gondii antibodies. antibodies to t. gondii (mat titer of ... | 2010 | 20476808 |
