[mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in wild animal species and cattle in styria/austria].	infections with mycobacterium ovium ssp. paratuberculosis (m. paratuberculosis) are increasingly recognised worldwide. in addition to an increased prevalence of paratuberculosis in austrian cattle herds, recent years have also shown a rise in infections with m. paratuberculosis in wild red and roe deer, chamois and mouflon. during the period from june 2002 to september 2004, mesenteric lymph nodes were taken from a total of 483 wild animals hunted or found dead and from 338 deceased cattle. samp ...	2005	16048043
tick-borne encephalitis virus activity in styria, austria.	from 3,404 ixodes ricinus ticks collected in 12 localities of styria, austria in 1990, 15 tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus isolates were recovered. minimal field infection rate reached 4.4 virus containing ticks out of 1,000 collected ticks. five isolates of tbe virus were obtained from target organs of apodemus flavicollis trapped in locality wagnitz. in a serosurvey based on virus neutralizing antibodies high prevalence of tbe virus was demonstrated in a. flavicollis (47.9%) and clethrionom ...	1993	8105665
first evidence of the leptospirosis natural foci of the serotype saxkoebing in austria.	the authors examined serologically and bacteriologically 129 wild living small mammals (9 species) in neumarkt, in styria. a total of 17 animals were positive (all microtus agrestis), of these 10 serologically (6 with l. saxkoebing, 3 with l. grippotyphosa and 1 with l. sorexjalna) and 7 bacteriologically. of the 7 isolated leptospirae-strains one did not survive up to typing, the 6 remaining were identified as l. saxkoebing. it is the first evidence of the existence of leptospirosis natural foc ...	1989	2663645
[blood parasites of small wild mammals in steiermark and burgenland].	a total of 488 wild small mammals (16 species) trapped in two federate units of austria, steiermark and burgenland, were examined on the presence of blood parasites. in steiermark grahamelles were detected in neomys fodiens, clethrionomys glareolus, microtus arvalis, m. agrestis, apodemus flavicollis and a. sylvaticus, while trypanosoma evotomys and hepatozoon erhardovae were found in c. glareolus, and babesia microti in pitymys subterraneus and m. agrestis. in burgenland grahamelles were demons ...	1980	6778802
[additional observations to the biology of hepatozoon erhardovae krampitz 1964 in bank voles from the south-western styria and from areas around the neusiedlersee (burgenland) (author's transl)].	the incidence of hepatozoon erhardovae in the blood of bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) captured in the investigated areas is examined. the biology of schizonts, their distribution in the lobes of the lung and the further development of natural infections in vertebrate hosts kept strictly free of ectoparasites are observed. the accumulation of gametocytes in larvae of the tick ixodes ricinus and of the mite neotrombicula zachvatkini after sucking on strongly infected bank voles is pointed ou ...	1977	413270
