| macroepidemiology of the hivs-aids (haids) pandemic. insufficiently considered zoological and geopolitical aspects. | the human immunodeficiency viruses (hivs)-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) or haids pandemic originated from lentiviruses of nonhuman primates (thus qualifying as a zoonosis) that moved into humans in africa. the haids patients eventually die of opportunistic infections, all potentially zoonotic. the haids infection remained parochial, first endemically and then epidemically, until the african urbanization that occurred in each of the countries postindependence. the latter included wars ... | 1992 | 1626879 |

| [hepatobiliary fascioliasis and echinococcosis/hydatidosis in domestic animals in haiti]. | in haiti, hepatobiliary fascioliasis and hepatic hydatid cysts cause major economic losses among livestock. surveys show high prevalence rates for bovine distomatosis caused by fasciola hepatica (10.7% to 22.78%). among small ruminants, the prevalence of distomatosis is low (sheep: 3.2%, goats: 0.9%) although dicrocoelium dendriticum is found in 1.1% of sheep. hepatic hydatidosis is more common among pigs (5.2%) and sheep (2.1%) than among goats (0.9%) and cattle (0.3%). in the case of dogs, 21% ... | 2007 | 18293622 |
| survey for cyclospora cayetanensis in domestic animals in an endemic area in haiti. | from january 1997 through july 1998, we examined stool samples from 327 domestic animals, including pigs, cattle, horses, goats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chicken, ducks, turkeys, and pigeons in leogane, haiti, for the presence of cyclospora cayetanensis infection. no coccidian oocysts morphologically compatible with c. cayetanensis were detected in any of the animal samples, despite their living in, or near, households with infected individuals. these results suggest that domestic animals are no ... | 1999 | 10386455 |
| virulence in african swine fever: its measurement and implications. | a method of measuring and expressing the virulence of african swine fever virus in numerical terms was developed. seventeen viruses (13 hemadsorbing and 4 nonhemadsorbing) were tested and classified into 3 groups: highly infectious and highly virulent, highly infectious and moderately virulent, and slightly infectious and slightly virulent. this classification was based on the number of 50% hemadsorption unit (ha50) or tcid50 required to produce 1 ld50 for swine, the number of ha50 or tcid50 req ... | 1984 | 6711963 |

| survey for potential soft tick (acari: argasidae) vectors of african swine fever on the island of hispaniola. | a survey of the occurrence of ornithodoros ticks in animal burrows was conducted in haiti and the dominican republic. vacuum sampling techniques were used. four of 8 sample sites in haiti and 10 of 70 sample sites in the dominican republic were positive for o. puertoricensis fox. positive sample sites in haiti were usually near swine. sites in the dominican republic were in drier regions of the country and were not directly associated with previous swine locations. the determination that o. puer ... | 1985 | 3870957 |
| experimental transmission of african swine fever virus by the tick ornithodoros (alectorobius) puertoricensis (acari: argasidae). | the soft tick ornithodoros puertoricensis fox has been found on the caribbean island of hispaniola (haiti and the dominican republic) where african swine fever (asf) was endemic from 1978 to 1984. to evaluate the vector potential of o. puertoricensis for african swine fever virus (asfv), second-instar nymphs were experimentally infected by feeding on a viremic pig that was infected with the dominican republic isolate (dr-ii) of asfv. subsequent infection rates and mean virus titers for individua ... | 1991 | 1770521 |
| seroprevalence of human taenia solium cysticercosis in haiti. | human taenia solium cysticercosis is common in developing countries due to poor sanitary conditions and economics based on breeding livestock, especially pigs, with low hygiene standards. neurocysticercosis, caused by migration of the larvae of the tapeworm in the nervous system, is the leading cause of acquired epilepsy in adults in central and south america, sub-saharan africa, and east and south asia. this makes neurocysticercosis a large public health problem in developing countries. two cli ... | 2009 | 19245737 |
