| adult fanniidae associated to pig carcasses during the winter season in a semiarid environment: initial examination of their potential as complementary pmi indicators. | besides the dominant necrophagous dipteran of the families sarcophagidae and calliphoridae usually used for post mortem interval (pmi) estimations, species of other families such as fanniidae have frequently been reported in forensic studies. though less abundant, these species are prevalent in decomposing carcasses with most reports being anecdotal. in this study we identified adults of the fly family fanniidae associated to pig carcasses located under different local environmental conditions ( ... | 2011 | 22188639 |
| treatment of argentine hemorrhagic fever. | argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf) is a rodent-borne illness caused by the arenavirus junin that is endemic to the humid pampas of argentina. ahf has had significant morbidity since its emergence in the 1950s, with a case-fatality rate of the illness without treatment between 15% and 30%. the use of a live attenuated vaccine has markedly reduced the incidence of ahf. present specific therapy involves the transfusion of immune plasma in defined doses of neutralizing antibodies during the prodromal ... | 2008 | 18054395 |
| [preclinical assay of candid #1 vaccine against argentine hemorrhagic fever made in argentina]. | candid #1 vaccine against argentine hemorrhagic fever produced in usa versus lots of the same vaccine made in argentina were compared in guinea pigs regarding safety, immunogenicity and protective efficacy against a challenge with pathogenic junin virus. lots no exp 3, 7a and 8a of argentine origin as well as lot tsi 5-1-92 from usa were inoculated in guinea pigs of 250-400 g in two consecutive assays. ten animals inoculated with saline performed as normal controls in each experiment. parameters ... | 2005 | 16193711 |

| clinical and epidemiological patterns of argentine haemorrhagic fever. | the epidemiology of argentine haemorrhagic fever (ahf) is closely related to cricetine rodents acting as natural hosts of junin virus. the endemo-epidemic area, which has increased 5 times since the disease was first recognized 15-20 years ago, is located in a densely populated region of argentina. it has been shown that the virus of lcm is active in humans and rodents of the ahf endemic area; this demonstrates the simultaneous presence of two arenaviruses pathogenic for man in a given geographi ... | 1975 | 1085212 |
