| [prevalence of immediate allergy to respiratory allergens in fodder farmers in doubs]. | the doubs is a damp, semi-mountainous fodder farming department in which occupational respiratory diseases (including asthma) are common in farmers. we studied the prevalence of ige-mediated allergy (total ige, phadiatop and skin prick tests) in a group of 265 exclusive dairy farmers of both sexes of the department and in a control group of non exposed, administrative workers living in the same area. skin prick tests were: dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, acarus siro, cat hair, cow danders, grass ... | 1995 | 7501894 |
| echinococcus multilocularis in domestic cats in france. a potential risk factor for alveolar hydatid disease contamination in humans. | in france, in north of alps and south of jura, around the swiss town of geneva, the cestode e. multilocularis was found in three out of 81 domestic cats necropsied given by veterinarians. morphological and morphometric features established the identity of this species. in an endemic area of alveolar hydatid disease, the prevalence of e. multilocularis in the domestic cat confirms that it is a risk factor for human beings and mainly for veterinarians. | 2000 | 10622606 |
| influence of geographical scale on the detection of density dependence in the host-parasite system, arvicola terrestris and taenia taeniaeformis. | infection by the cestode taenia taeniaeformis was investigated within numerous cyclic populations of the fossorial water vole arvicola terrestris sampled during 4 years in franche-comté (france). the relative influence of different rodent demographic parameters on the presence of this cestode was assessed by considering (1) the demographic phase of the cycle; (2) density at the local geographical scale (<0.1 km2); (3) mean density at a larger scale (>10 km2). the local scale corresponded to the ... | 2006 | 16329763 |
