| serologic evidence for bovine immunodeficiency virus infection in france. | we report herein on the first serologic detection of antibodies to bovine immunodeficiency virus (biv) in france. serum samples from dairy and beef cattle from southwestern and western france (landes and vendée) were tested using a western blot assay with a recombinant 53 kda gag precursor derived from the louisiana biv r29 isolate. we performed our study on the oldest animals from 37 different herds that were under serologic follow up for previous bovine leukemia virus infection. overall, 398 s ... | 1996 | 8701572 |
| prevalence of cryptosporidium infection in calves in france. | two multicentre surveys were conducted in france to estimate the prevalence of cryptosporidium infection in calves using qualitative elisa for detection of cryptosporidium coproantigens and oocysts. the first survey involved 4-12-day-old calves in six dairy-calf distribution centres, collecting calves from seven administrative regions (aquitaine, bretagne, franche-comté, lorraine, normandie, nord, pays de loire). for each region, 20 calves were selected every month for 12 consecutive months (oct ... | 2000 | 10729640 |

| inventory of wild rodents and lagomorphs as natural hosts of fasciola hepatica on a farm located in a humid area in loire atlantique (france). | with the objective of studying the role of wild fauna in the epidemiology of fasciolosis disease, a definitive wild-host inventory was carried out in a french farm where infected domestic hosts (cows) cohabit with wild potential ones. liver flukes, faecal eggs and antibodies were looked for in lagomorphs (oryctolagus cuniculus) and rodents (myocastor coypus, ondatra zybethicus, rattus norvegicus, arvicola sapidus and micromammal species) trapped in the study area. presence of fasciola hepatica w ... | 2000 | 10887652 |
| babesia divergens in france: descriptive and analytical epidemiology. | babesia divergens cause of bovine babesiosis transmitted by ixodes ricinus, is widely spread especially in west, central and south-west parts of france. it occurs with two annual peaks, in spring and autumn. the study was carried out during a period of two years (1991-1993) in four farms in the sarthe area, in order to know the distribution and the ecology of i. ricinus, and to show the presence of b. divergens. cattle are parasitised as early as march essentially by adult ticks, according to a ... | 1999 | 11071546 |
| targeted surveillance to assess the prevalence of bse in high-risk populations in western france and the associated risk factors. | a pilot study was set up for the first time in france in august 2000, to obtain more precise estimates on the bse epidemic in france. three categories of cattle at risk of bse (found dead on-farm, euthanased and emergency slaughtered) were sampled exhaustively from august 7 to december 22, 2000, in the three regions assumed to be the most affected with bse in france (basse-normandie, bretagne and pays de la loire). the samples were checked by using prionics tests, and positive samples were confi ... | 2002 | 12166421 |
| how the surveillance system may bias the results of analytical epidemiological studies on bse: prevalence among dairy versus beef suckler cattle breeds in france. | until recently, epidemiological studies on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (bse) were based on mandatory reporting systems (mrs) of clinically suspect bovines only, but rapid diagnostic tests were validated in 1999 and are used for targeted surveillance in switzerland, france and other countries, as a complementary and secondary tool. data on 30491 cattle issued from a french pilot program targeted at cattle having died on the farm, subjected to euthanasia or sent for emergency slaughter, did n ... | 2003 | 12657210 |
| descriptive spatial analysis of bse in western france. | the spatial heterogeneity of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (bse) was analysed on the 84 cases confirmed in western france (wf) between august and december 2000, when both the mandatory reporting system and an active surveillance on cattle at risk were running. ninety-four percent of these cases were born between june 1993 and june 1996, and we analysed the location at birth. one disease mapping and two clustering methods (scan of kulldorff and the method of besag and newell) were used. in ord ... | 2003 | 14746770 |
