| a survey of cattle for antibodies against bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer viruses in british columbia and southwestern alberta in 1987. | in 1987 a serological survey of cattle for antibodies (ab) to bluetongue virus (btv) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) was undertaken in british columbia and southwestern alberta after infection with the viruses was diagnosed in wild and domestic ruminants in the okanagan valley. of 4610 cattle tested, five had ab only to btv, 125 had antibodies only to ehdv and 16 had ab to both viruses. the ab were identified as specific for btv type 11 (bt-11) or ehdv type 2 (ehdv-2). all but one ... | 1991 | 1653104 |
| diseases of wapiti utilizing cattle range in southwestern alberta. | specimens from 28 wapiti (cervus elaphus canadensis) were collected by hunters in southwestern alberta in 1984. various tests were performed to detect infections and conditions that could affect cattle sharing the range or cause disease in wapiti. serum antibodies were present against leptospiral serovars autumnalis (25%), bratislava (4%), and icterohaemorrhagiae (8%), and the viruses of bovine virus diarrhea (52%), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (45%), and parainfluenza type 3 (13%). no sero ... | 1987 | 3029443 |
| geographical genetic variation in the gene encoding vp3 from the alberta isolate of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus. | the complete nucleic acid and deduced amino acid sequences of gene segment 3 and the encoded vp3 from the north american, alberta isolate of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 2 (ehdv-2) are reported. complementary dna corresponding to segment 3 was 2768 nucleotides in length with an open reading frame of 2697 base pairs which encoded a vp3 polypeptide of 899 amino acid residues. sequence comparison with genome segment 3 and vp3 from the australian strain of ehdv-2 indicated genotypic ... | 1995 | 7653105 |
