| hypercalcemia and calcinosis in florida horses: implication of the shrub, cestrum diurnum, as the causative agent. | a chronic debilitating disease is described in florida horses. there is progress weight loss and lameness of increasing severity. plasma calcium is elevated to moderate or severe degree. anatomical changes include dystrophic calcinosis of elastic tissues, viz. major arteries, tendons and ligaments. a generalized osteopetrosis is present and may be related to hypoparathyroidsim and hypercalcitoninism. the presence of cestrum diurnum (day-blooming jessamine, day cestrum, wild jasmin) in areas acce ... | 1975 | 1112096 |
| serologic evidence of widespread everglades virus activity in dogs, florida. | everglades virus (evev), an alphavirus in the venezuelan equine encephalitis complex, circulates among rodents and vector mosquitoes in florida and occasionally infects humans. it causes febrile disease, sometimes accompanied by neurologic manifestations. although previous surveys showed high seroprevalence in humans, evev infections may be underdiagnosed because the disease is not severe enough to warrant a clinic visit or the undifferentiated presentations complicate diagnosis. documented evev ... | 2006 | 17326938 |
| equestrian injuries in children. | equestrian activities are regarded by some as high-risk sports, and our recent experience suggested this to be true. we undertook this study to review our experience with pediatric equestrian injuries. | 2009 | 19159733 |
| prevalence of antibodies to west nile virus and other arboviruses among crested caracaras (caracara cheriway) in florida. | we documented the antibody prevalence to three arboviruses, st. louis encephalitis virus (slev), eastern equine encephalitis virus (eeev), and west nile virus (wnv), in crested caracaras (caracara cheriway; n = 80) in florida from 2007 to 2008. antibody prevalence to wnv was higher (9%) than for the other viruses. most seropositive birds were adults (< or =3 yr of age), with 55% of adults testing positive for antibodies to at least one virus. adults were significantly more likely to have antibod ... | 2009 | 19617494 |

| environmental risk factors associated with west nile virus clinical disease in florida horses. | the objective of this study was to examine the extrinsic risk factors of west nile virus (wnv) clinical disease in florida horses as established from confirmed and negative horses tested within the state from 2001 to 2003. an arboviral case information form (acf) was submitted by a referring veterinarian at the time of testing to the florida department of agriculture and consumer services on every horse suspected of a viral encephalitis in florida. a follow-up survey that focused on arbovirus pr ... | 2009 | 19941601 |
| health concerns of migrant backstretch workers at horse racetracks. | backstretch workers are part of an itinerant labor community that cares for horses at racetracks across the u.s. since the 1970s, this workforce has increasingly been composed of migrants, especially from mexico and guatemala. no studies have focused systematic attention on health concerns of this population and how illness is influenced by unique working and living conditions. | 2010 | 20453352 |
| an epidemiologic study of anhidrosis in horses in florida. | objective-to estimate prevalence of and identify factors associated with anhidrosis in horses in florida. design-cross-sectional study and case-control study. animals-4,620 horses on 500 farms. procedures-a questionnaire was structured and mailed to farm owners or managers to obtain information related to diagnosis of anhidrosis in horses and exposure factors associated with this condition. the frequency of investigated farm- and animal-level factors was compared between farms and horses affecte ... | 2010 | 20470071 |
| microevolution of canine influenza virus in shelters and its molecular epidemiology in the united states. | canine influenza virus (civ) emerged around 2000 when an equine influenza virus (eiv) was transmitted to dogs in florida. after 2003, the canine virus was carried by infected greyhounds to various parts of the united states and then became established in several large animal shelters, where it has continued to circulate. to better understand the evolution of civ since its emergence, and particularly its microevolution in spatially restricted populations, we examined multiple gene segments of civ ... | 2010 | 20943966 |
| infectivity and pathogenicity of canine h3n8 influenza a virus in horses. | equine h3n8 influenza a viruses (eivs) cause respiratory disease in horses and circulate among horses worldwide. in 2004, an outbreak of canine h3n8 influenza a virus (civ) occurred among dogs in florida and has spread among dogs in the united states (us). genetic analyses revealed that this civ is closely related to the recent eivs. although civ-infected dogs could be the source of h3n8 influenza a virus for horses, it remains unclear whether the civ circulating in the united states still maint ... | 2010 | 20958928 |
