phylogenetic analysis of recent isolates of classical swine fever virus from colombia.	the ability to discriminate between different classical swine fever virus (csfv) isolates is a prerequisite for identifying the possible origin of an outbreak. to determine the relatedness between colombian isolates from different geographical regions, genetic sequences of the glycoprotein e2 and the 5'utr of csfv were amplified by pcr, sequenced and compared with reference strains of different genetic grouping. the viruses originated from classical swine fever (csf) outbreaks in colombia during ...	2006	16143418
leptospirosis in colombia: isolation of leptospira spp. from the kidneys of brown rats (rattus norvegicus) trapped on infected piggeries.	leptospira interrogans serotypes pomona and icterohaemorrhagiae were isolated from the kidneys of rattus norvegicus trapped on pomona infected piggeries. the isolation of pomona from one of 111 cultured kidneys, although of interest, strongly suggests that this rat does not play an important part in the epidemiology of infection by this serotype. kidney tubular degeneration, focal mononuclear infiltrations and fibroplasia are morphological traces which remain after an attack of leptospirosis. th ...	1978	664013
