[concomitant activity of 2 bunyaviruses in horses in argentina]. | a serologic survey of horses for kairi (kri) and cache valley (cv), two related bunyaviruses, was conducted simultaneously in cordoba and santa fe provinces, argentina, during late 1983 and 1984. the prevalence of neutralizing antibodies only for kri was 13.3% and only for cv was 40.0%; but if the total positive sera for kri and cv were taken into account, the prevalence reached 48.3 and 75.0%, respectively. the prevalence for cv was higher than for kri in cordoba (p less than 0.01), but both we ... | 1990 | 2126879 |
[post-epizootic activity of western equine encephalitis virus in argentina]. | it is shown here the wee virus activity in argentina in 1983-1986 post-epizootic period. a surveillance system was established by the equine case notification and the sentinel animal method. among the thirteen equine focus notified between september 1983-september 1985 in córdoba and santa fe provinces, 5 presumptive cases out of 16 sick horses were confirmed by the hemagglutination inhibition test for wee epizootic virus. twenty eight notified human cases were studied with negative results. the ... | 1993 | 8234736 |
