| prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis and the genital mycoplasmas in a nonmetropolitan population. | results of cultures from patients with nonspecific urethritis (nsu) during a 4-year period were retrospectively analyzed. nsu cultures included chlamydiae and mycoplasmas. seventy-five of 2,408 cultures run by the missoula community hospital microbiology laboratory were positive for chlamydiae (3%). seventy-five of 1,944 mycoplasma cultures were positive for mycoplasma hominis (4%), 532 of 1,944 for ureaplasma urealyticum (27%), and 305 of 1,944, for both (15%), for a total of 46% culture positi ... | 1987 | 2891633 |
| susceptibility of a naïve population of house finches to mycoplasma gallisepticum. | since 1994 an epidemic of mycoplasmal conjunctivitis has spread throughout the eastern house finch (carpodacus mexicanus) population leading to a significant decline in this population. the infection has not yet been reported from house finch populations west of the great plains. we hypothesized that the western population, like the eastern population, is susceptible to infection, and we tested this hypothesis by experimentally infecting house finches from missoula, montana (usa) with the house ... | 2002 | 12038126 |
| further western spread of mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of house finches. | mycoplasma gallisepticum, an important pathogen of poultry, especially chickens and turkeys, emerged in 1994 as the cause of conjunctivitis in house finches (carpodacus mexicanus) in their eastern range of north america. the resulting epidemic of m. gallisepticum conjunctivitis severely decreased house finch abundance and the continuing endemic disease in the eastern range has been associated with repeating seasonal peaks of conjunctivitis and limitation of host populations. mycoplasma gallisept ... | 2006 | 16870870 |
