| yersinia enterocolitica of porcine origin: carriage of virulence genes and genotypic diversity. | yersinia enterocolitica is an important foodborne pathogen, and pigs are recognized as a major reservoir and potential source of pathogenic strains to humans. a total of 172 y. enterocolitica recovered from conventional and antimicrobial-free pig production systems from different geographic regions (north carolina, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, and iowa) were investigated to determine their pathogenic significance to humans. phenotypic and genotypic diversity of the isolates was assessed using anti ... | 2013 | 23320426 |
| yersinia enterocolitica infection in breeding colonies of ruffed lemurs. | two outbreaks of yersiniosis caused by yersinia enterocolitica occurred in breeding colonies of red ruffed lemurs (varecia variegata rubra) and black and white ruffed lemurs (varecia variegata variegata) housed in outdoor enclosures during the winter breeding season and spring birth season, respectively. seven of 11 animals at risk in the combined outbreaks became ill, and 3 died of acute to chronic infection. clinical signs included anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and hyperpyrexia ... | 1984 | 6511581 |
