| the isolation of lentogenic strains of newcastle disease virus in australia. | twelve isolations of newcastle disease virus were made from 77 clinical samples from chickens from conjunctivitis, respiratory disease, proventriculitis and bursal atrophy. nine of the isolations were made from chickens with conjunctivitis. the viruses were identified as newcastle disease virus by inhibition of their haemagglutinins with specific antiserum to newcastle disease virus. the viruses failed to kill chicken embryos after inoculation into the allantoic cavity and they were judged to be ... | 1978 | 687276 |

| mycoplasma hominis pneumonia in aboriginal adults. | mycoplasma hominis (m. hominis) is a well recognized extragenital pathogen. its role as a pathogen of the respiratory tract, however, remains difficult to determine. four cases of pneumonia are presented in which m. hominis was isolated from blood, tracheal aspirates or post-mortem lung tissue. all 4 of these isolates were in young aboriginal adult males. m. hominis is the least fastidious of the human mycoplasmas and grows well on most blood-containing bacteriological media. the recognition and ... | 1995 | 7603754 |
| a serologic survey for viruses and mycoplasma pulmonis among wild house mice (mus domesticus) in southeastern australia. | plasma samples from 267 wild house mice (mus domesticus) trapped at 14 sites in southeastern australia were screened for antibody to 14 viruses normally associated with laboratory-reared rodents and to mycoplasma pulmonis. serologic prevalence was high for murine cytomegalovirus (99%, n = 94), murine coronavirus (95%), and murine rotavirus (74%). samples from mice collected at all sites contained antibody to these viruses. the serologic prevalence was lower for mouse adenovirus, strain k87 (37%) ... | 1993 | 8487371 |
