| field investigation of mycoplasma gallisepticum infections in house finch (carpodacus mexicanus) eggs and nestlings. | we conducted a field study to investigate the occurrence of mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) in eggs and nestlings from nests of house finches (carpodacus mexicanus). forty-three nests were located between the months of april and august 1998 and were followed with one to three sampling efforts. vitelline membrane of fresh eggs, whole embryos, or swabs from the choanal cleft or conjunctiva of nestlings were inoculated into mycoplasma broth for mg isolation and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) testing ... | 1999 | 10494429 |
| mycoplasmal conjunctivitis in songbirds from new york. | a field study was conducted to determine the prevalence of conjunctivitis and mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) infections in house finches (carpodacus mexicanus) and other songbirds common to bird feeders in tompkins county (new york, usa). eight hundred two individuals of 23 species and nine families of birds were captured and given physical examinations during the 14 mo study beginning in february 1998. clinical conjunctivitis (eyelid or conjunctival swelling, erythema, and discharge) was observe ... | 2000 | 10813607 |
| infectious chlamydia pneumoniae is associated with elevated interleukin-8 and airway neutrophilia in children with refractory asthma. | neutrophilic asthma is thought to be less responsive than eosinophilic asthma to anti-inflammatory therapies including corticosteroids. chlamydia pneumoniae has been implicated in asthma, possibly by induction of interleukin (il-8). we hypothesized that il-8 is increased in the bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) fluid from children with asthma and c. pneumoniae. | 2010 | 21155094 |
