| fleas and lice parasitizing mammals in missouri. | three species of chewing lice, 11 species of sucking lice, and 28 species of fleas are recorded from mammals in missouri. of these, seven species of sucking lice (hoplopleura acanthopus, hoplopleura hesperomydis, hoplopleura sciuricola, neohaematopinus sciuri, neohaematopinus sciurinus, neohaematopinus sciuropteri, and solenopotes ferrisi) and one species of flea (doratopsylla blarinae) represent new state records. from 1993 to 1995, 773 individual mammals were examined for ectoparasites in sout ... | 1997 | 9491363 |
| genetic heterogeneity of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the southern united states based on restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequence analysis. | fifty-six strains of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, isolated from ticks and vertebrate animals in missouri, south carolina, georgia, florida, and texas, were identified and characterized by pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis of rrf (5s)-rrl (23s) intergenic spacer amplicons. a total of 241 to 258 bp of intergenic spacers between tandemly duplicated rrf (5s) and rrl (23s) was amplified by pcr. msei and drai restriction fragment polymorphisms were used to analyze these ... | 2001 | 11427560 |

| prevalence of antibodies to toxoplasma gondii in wild mammals of missouri and east central kansas: biologic and ecologic considerations of transmission. | sera from 273 wild mammals from missouri and kansas (usa), collected between december 1974 and december 1987, were tested for the presence of antibodies to toxoplasma gondii using the sabin-feldman dye test. sixty-five (24%) had antibodies at titers of > or = 1:8, including 38 (66%) of 58 carnivores, 14 (15%) of 94 omnivores, 13 (11%) of 117 herbivores, and none of four insectivores. the prevalence of antibodies in mice (mus musculus and peromyscus spp.) and rats (rattus norvegicus and sigmodon ... | 1995 | 7563419 |

| host utilization and seasonal occurrence of dermacentor species (acari:ixodidae) in missouri, usa. | a total of 3,235 dermacentor variabilis (say) specimens were collected from birds, mammals, and by dragging vegetation, and 2,683 d. albipictus (packard) ticks were collected from deer from 1993 to 1996. peak seasonal occurrence of adult d. variabilis was from may through july with a precipitous decrease in august. nymphal d. variabilis populations peaked in june. peak activity of larvae was bimodal, with one activity peak during late summer (september) and a second peak in winter or early sprin ... | 2000 | 11201355 |
| fate vs choice: the immune system reloaded. | development can occur by either instructive or stochastic processes. my colleagues and i have studied the contributions of these processes to differentiation of naïve cd4+ t-cells to either a th1 or th2 phenotype. our initial discovery that pathogens in our in vitro priming system led to the development of th1 cells through the action of interleukin-12 was important evidence of a link between innate and adaptive immunity. subsequent studies in our laboratory revealed an important role for gata-3 ... | 2005 | 16106070 |
