fumonisin b1 concentrations in feeds from 45 confirmed equine leukoencephalomalacia cases.during the fall of 1989 and winter of 1990, numerous reports of equine leukoencephalomalacia (elem) occurred from many regions of the united states. typically, horses were consuming feed partially or entirely composed of corn and/or corn screenings. from october 1989 through may 1990, samples from 55 confirmed or suspected elem cases were received at the national veterinary services laboratories, ames, iowa, for fumonisin b1 analysis. samples from 9 cases in 1984-1985 were also obtained. fumonis ...19911911996
trivittatus virus infections in wild mammals and sentinel rabbits in central iowa.a serological survey was conducted in iowa to determine the prevalence rate of california group virus antibodies in sera of several vertebrate species. serum specimens were assayed for infectivity-neutralizing antibody in a microneutralization system with baby hamster kidney cell culture. of 77 sera assayed, 21 (27%) neutralized trivittatus (tvt) virus infectivity. the antibody prevalence rate was highest for eastern cottontail rabbits inasmuch as 46% (10/22) of the serum specimens form this spe ...19751200251

identification of isolate-specific sporozoite proteins of cryptosporidium parvum by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.five isolates of cryptosporidium parvum collected from human, horse, and calf sources were compared for differences in sporozoite protein patterns by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. silver-stained two-dimensional gels contained over 300 protein spots from detergent-solubilized sporozoites. a distinguishing 106-kilodalton peptide that shifted in isoelectric point was detected in four of the five isolates. computerized two-dimensional gel analysis was performed to obtain objective quant ...19902365452
subtype analysis of cryptosporidium specimens from sporadic cases in colorado, idaho, new mexico, and iowa in 2007: widespread occurrence of one cryptosporidium hominis subtype and case history of an infection with the cryptosporidium horse genotype.subtyping was conducted in late 2007 on 57 cryptosporidium specimens from sporadic cases in colorado, idaho, new mexico, and iowa. one previously rare cryptosporidium hominis subtype was identified in 40 cases (70%) from all four states, and the cryptosporidium horse genotype was identified in a pet shop employee with severe clinical symptoms.200919587303
