| hemorrhagic disease in kansas: enzootic stability meets epizootic disease. | kansas (usa) could represent a transition area between contrasting epidemiologic patterns of hemorrhagic disease (hd) in the midwestern united states. in this study, we compare the distribution of reported clinical hd with serologic data to determine whether the risk of hd in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) is associated with geographic location corresponding to the reported distribution of two white-tailed deer subspecies. on the basis of a high prevalence of antibodies (91-100%) to ... | 2004 | 15362829 |
| detection of a novel reassortant epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) in the usa containing rna segments derived from both exotic (ehdv-6) and endemic (ehdv-2) serotypes. | epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) is a culicoides-transmitted orbivirus that infects domestic and wild ruminants and is provisionally thought to be distributed throughout africa, north america, australia, east asia and the middle east. historically, of the seven proposed serotypes of ehdv, only ehdv-1 and ehdv-2 have been reported from north america. in 2006, ehdv isolates were recovered from moribund or dead white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in indiana and illinois that could ... | 2010 | 19828758 |
| whole genome sequence analysis of circulating bluetongue virus serotype 11 strains from the united states including two domestic canine isolates. | bluetongue virus (btv) is a vector-transmitted pathogen that typically infects and causes disease in domestic and wild ruminants. btv is also known to infect domestic canines as discovered when dogs were vaccinated with a btv-contaminated vaccine. canine btv infections have been documented through serological surveys, and natural infection by the culicoides vector has been suggested. the report of isolation of btv serotype 11 (btv-11) from 2 separate domestic canine abortion cases in the states ... | 2015 | 26069226 |
| canine schistosomiasis in north america: an underdiagnosed disease with an expanding distribution. | heterobilharzia americana, a digenean trematode in the family schistosomatidae, is the etiologic agent of canine schistosomiasis in the southeastern united states.1 a few cases of canine schistosomiasis have been reported in florida, louisiana, north carolina, texas, and, recently, kansas.1-6 the natural definitive host for the fluke is the raccoon1; however, infections have been detected in nutrias, bobcats, mountain lions, opossums, white-tailed deer, swamp rabbits, armadillos, coyotes, red wo ... | 2010 | 20473851 |
