| antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi in rodents in the eastern and southern united states. | serologic studies were conducted to determine whether white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus) and cotton mice (peromyscus gossypinus) contained serum antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of lyme borreliosis. enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays detected antibodies to this spirochete in 35.7 and 27.3% of 56 p. leucopus and 535 p. gossypinus serum samples, respectively, collected in connecticut, north carolina, south carolina, georgia, florida, alabama, and mississippi. antibody t ... | 1992 | 1624561 |
| antibodies to granulocytic ehrlichiae in white-footed and cotton mice in eastern united states. | serum samples, collected from peromyscus leucopus (white-footed mouse) or peromyscus gossypinus (cotton mouse) during 1987 through 1990 in florida, georgia, maryland, mississippi, and north carolina (usa), and in 1997 in southern connecticut were analyzed by indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) staining methods or western blot procedures for antibodies to granulocytic ehrlichiae. of the 82 sera from white-footed mice in connecticut tested by ifa methods with either the bds or nch-1 strain of the ... | 1999 | 10231752 |
| patterns of avian nest predators and a brood parasite among restored riparian habitats in agricultural watersheds. | in fragmented edge-dominated landscapes, nest predation and brood parasitism may reduce avian reproductive success and, ultimately, populations of some passerine species. in the fragmented agroecosystem of northwest mississippi, placement of drop-pipe structures has been used as a restoration technique for abating gully erosion along stream banks. these actions have formed small herbaceous and woody habitat extensions into former agricultural lands. we quantified species relative abundances, spe ... | 2005 | 16160783 |
